We setup Tailscale at work, and so now I have two tailnets I need to switch between fairly often. Which has me opening up a terminal more than I'd like ("tailscale switch --list", "tailscale switch").

What I'd like is an indicator that works on Ubuntu that allows me to toggle between them in a menu. I can't seem to find such a thing. But it seems too obvious not to exist. (Tailscale seems to include this in their client for OSX)

With lots of help, I've had great success customizing the #nixos installer to install #nixbook after the base install.

However, the FINAL part is wanting to install a few #flatpak at the same time.

The flathub remote adds fine, but the flatpaks won't install because there is no dbus service in this chroot (nixos_enter) environment.

Please tell me there is a way around this?!?! Id rather have it done here instead of trying to wire something on first boot.

Canonical has announced a new approach to kernels for Ubuntu dev releases. It will begin packaging 'interim' kernel releases to improve testing throughout the dev cycle.

(It makes more sense in the post, I promise).

I am sure that most of you know about this free and open-source security tool that bans hosts causing multiple authentication errors on Linux or Unix. It could be a lifesaver for developers or IT professionals, protecting many services including SSH and web services.

Well, it's time. I'm releasing my tool that lets you aggregate patch and update status of hosts over ssh on unix-like systems.

The github repository has details as well as links to the exhaustive documentation.

It is my hope that at least another person finds it useful

4th day using Linux. I've not yet connected my printer, but pretty much everything else I've got... And I'm just doing my usual things without issue, and that's with some slightly niche requirements from my computer.

If I was just browsing, listening to music, doing emails and instant messaging I'd barely notice the difference. If you mostly do only that and are still hesitant, don't be! Sure, have someone help install it for you, but after that you're golden.

Thanks! It felt a little schlocky and disorganized to me. I was trying to get something out because the heavier subject was getting clogged in my "writing pipes." XD

I actually think modern #Linux/#UNIX #TUI programs could learn a lot from #MSDOS programs of old.

Especially Lotus 1-2-3. That had a very novel model for interaction that I've never quite seen replicated.

I'll have to find a vm of it somewhere and play with it again, after 31 years ;)

A rare double merge just occurred. 😮

We have just released `default-flatpaks@v2` for automatically setting up your Flatpaks in a custom image, which should be way more robust and maintainable than the old version. Read the announcement post: https://blue-build.org/blog/default-flatpaks-v2/

Additionally, the new `soar` module was merged, providing automatic installation and configuration of a nice new alternative to brew for local packages. Read the docs: https://blue-build.org/reference/modules/soar/
