Much by way of discourse, some by way of advice; security from Clausewitz to Claude.
In this short tutorial, we'll setup a basic file server by installing Samba on Linux, and configuring access to it.
In this short tutorial, we're going to explore improving the trackpad experience on Linux. We'll enable (or disable!) tap-to-click, natural scrolling and the three finger 'middle' mouse button action. This will also give us an opportunity to learn a little bit about xinput and how X events are connected to actions. This article applies to any system running X.
In this tutorial, we'll cover how to create an encrypted container on Linux. We'll also cover how to integrate its use into your environment. You can think of this space as a safe, which you can open, store things in or read things from, and then close again.
In this brief tutorial, we'll cover how to set up and use multiple monitors with i3. We'll use xrandr and i3-msg to orient our displays and place the workspaces we want on whatever monitor we want.
Today we'll cover how to use the dbus interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism to integrate the Clementine music player into i3status. We'll write a small script in Python that determines Clementine's state using the dbus library, and then appends that state to the i3status bar. While we're at it, we'll also learn quite a bit about dbus!
