"Wszelki cudzy kod/projekty rekrutacyjne należy uruchamiać w kontenerach lub VM, aby zależności nie były instalowane i nie wykonywały skryptów bezpośrednio na urządzeniu."
W sumie, najbezpieczniej czułom się mając #qubesos jako główny system. Ale zaczęło mnie to utrzymywanie rygoru bezpieczeństwa męczyć. Teraz na "zwykłym" #arch-u mam tylko cicha nadzieję że będzie dobrze ale bez większego zaufania. A jak ma się teraz popularny #nixos do takiego bezpieczeństwa izolowania?

#QubesOS
i'm eyeing it as a potential tool to improve the system monitoring tooling for qubes os. at the moment we have.... xl top. that's about it
pcp is nice because it's lightweight, is available in standard fedora/debian repos, and supports monitoring hosts over sockets which is perfect for qubes
the problem is reporting. like i said, they pretty much only suggest grafana, and that's far too heavy for running on a qubes workstation
#Whonix got a new release, version 18.
I wondered if I would need to reinstall everything. Then I found https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Release_Upgrade_17_to_18#Release_Upgrade and that "release-upgrade"-command for the workstation worked like a charm!
Unfortunately my modified(!) Gateway failed, it gives me a black screen after login --> I will install a new instance.
This is a "standalone" installation on #Proxmox #PVE, some #QubesOS instances will wait for the official announcement, which is not available yet.
Thank you, @whonix
Neat. Turns out that https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/enterprise-policy-generator/ is a pretty nice frontend for generating configuration to feed to https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/
Why would you want to? Because it allows you to force load from the side a set of preferences and extensions. For your own use, or give to others.
Also, works great for #QubesOS #DispVM config where the VM gets recreated every time 😂

For everyone who thinks #QubesOS is a #Linux :D Qubes OS is not itself a Linux operating system or a hypervisor alone; it is a full security-focused desktop operating system that is built on top of the Xen hypervisor. Qubes OS uses Xen (a Type 1 or bare-metal hypervisor) to manage and isolate various virtual machines (called "qubes") that run different operating systems (such as Fedora or Debian Linux, or even Windows) within their own separate environments.

@Kroc I don't use #Apple products / #iOS.
I do however use #flatpak format apps, have used #immutable OS's as well as #QubesOS at times.
There's reasons why they exist and people use them.
I think it's a bit alarmist to think someday you won't be able to run #linux apps without containers or VMs because flatpaks exist but i'm guessing this probably isn't going to be agreed upon.

If you are wanting to try out #QubesOS, i'd recommend checking out the FAQ, forum and especially the HCL to give you some idea of whether or not or how well your particular hardware may work with it.

DJ Ware has recently released a video for those who may have heard of #Qubes but never really looked into it as well as those who haven't and may have some interest in something more secure than what other #linux distros offer.

Thinking of my recent experiments with #QubesOS that I did before reinstalling with #NixOS, maybe it would be worth going back to it and really just having the Intel Arc A380 PCIe passed through into a Qube. I could have Dom0 accessible over the IPMI exclusively and do everything within a Qube. That way I could also more easily reboot into e.g. a Windows Qube for gaming and wouldn't have to deal with working out the quirks steam on ArchLinux ./. NixOS has...
Weird. I had a sys-vpn on #QubesOS based on @solene guide. It worked for over a year, then suddenly stopped. It would connect to the VPN but I couldn't even ping a domain. I gave up on it for a while.
Today, since I have nothing else to do, I went through the guide again and double checked everything. Turns out adding the line to adjust the MTU solved the problem. Go figure.
Wow is #QubesOS 4.2.4 slow. I've installed it on a server with dual EPYC CPU, 512 GB RAM, and a 4TB NVMe and it is soo slow think I'll just reinstall with something else and check back in with it in another few years from now...
#QubesOS - das wohl sicherste freie Betriebssystem ist in einer neuen Version erschienen. Hier beruht quasi alles auf virtuellen Maschinen. Sicher, aber sicherlich nichts für jeden.

We look forward to discussing Qubes OS with you!
Still currently maxed out on my vacation time, so it's #PayDayOff #Today.
Spent basically all day redoing my old #Thinkpad X1c. Swapped the RAM from my old xeon laptop to go from 32 -> 64 GB, added a second m2 nvme drive to double usable storage to a TB.
Currently doing a #guix reconfigure after a new install, so that'll take about forever. Then it's time to see about doing the #SSS setup for it.
My thinking is to have the home directory live on the second drive.
I also thought about running #QubesOS on the thing, but I just dunno on that one yet.
