Having a secure Password is the most important part of your online security, so how do you keep and know a good password?

Password managers

In the modern day you do not need to remember your passwords thanks to password managers! But what password managers can you turst and use?

I only suggest one password manager, that being KeePassXC, and the reason why I suggest KeePassXC is because the source code is available to view so you know you can trust it, and the other reason why I suggest using KeePassXC is because it is offline, meaning nobody can hack an online account; instead, they have to obtain the password.kdbx file on your computer, which is harder to do than hacking an online account.

Due to the fact that KeePassXC works offline with a .kdbx file, I suggest having a spare USB stick with a backup on it just in case it gets deleted for whatever reason.

Syncing all of your passwords between devices is easy with KeePassXC; I just use Syncthing to do so. It is easy to setup, and I have never had any issues with it!

What makes a good password?

A good password should be made up of totally random charicters that have no relation to you as a person.

An example of a weak password would be:
Grace'sPassword123

And an example of a strong password would be:
{gÙIjWÝ0ó{Ðö÷åQü9+òÀË×?Ì¯Áv

Now you might see why you should have a password manager, so it can remember stuff like this for you!

sudo pacman -Scc # Remove packages from cache both installed and not installed

Some people like to automate this task of cleaning the cache with paccache, but personally I would not because it is something that takes around five minutes max to do. However, it is your choice if you want to do so to avoid the trouble of doing it manually. Regardless of whether you choose to do this manually or automatically, I suggest cleaning the cache monthly. -

Removing Orphan Packages

Orphan packages are those installed as dependencies for other software but are no longer needed. For example, when you install LibreWolf, it downloads a package called librewolf-debug as a dependency. Once the installation is complete, librewolf-debug becomes an orphan package because it is no longer used by LibreWolf.

Why the terminal will always beat the GUI 👨‍💻

I want to say this now, I do not care if people use a GUI option for things, Linux is all about choice and if you choose to use a GUI instead of using the terminal that is your choice!

1) The Terminal Simplifies Tasks With Fewer Steps:

Using the terminal can be way faster and more straightforward than navigating a GUI. For example, updating your Linux system requires one simple command in the terminal. In contrast, using a GUI software centre involves way more steps: opening the software center, navigating to the update section, and then updating all the programs. The terminal streamlines all of this which makes it way more efficient.

By learning all of these command-line tools over time, you will start learning how a Linux system works and operates, and this will help you fix any issues that pop up in the future. For example, if you wanted to format a USB stick, while yes, you could use Gnome-disk, it is faster just to use fdisk and mkfs for formatting a USB stick.

For now that is all I have on why terminal is better!

Formatting the USB

1) The first thing you want to do is plug in your USB stick and identify the USB stick's name.

sudo fdisk /dev/sdX

You will need to press the following keys to make a new partition table for the USB.

n - New partition, press enter to all that follows
w - Writes the partition table

Give fdisk a minute to write the new partition to the USB.

3) Now is the time to give that partition a file system. You should look into this beforehand to see what file system you want, but I will use ext4 because it was made for Linux use.

sudo mkfs.ext4 -L "Backup-USB" /dev/sdXx

The small x represents the number of the partition; the -L flag is used to give the USB stick a name.

This is the most important parts of developing any type of project because without communicaiton there is no way to know who is contributing to your code and this causes you to not understand why they have done some of the changes and additions they have made. Good communication also means keeping the users informed about what is happening with the program and its development normally through an IRC (internet relay chat) channel, but in the modern day I would suggest something like Matrix. Please do not use Discord because it gives less control to the users and its just easier and safer to use an IRC or just Matrix. -

Switching to DWM

Date: 13-7-2024

It has been a little while since I have updated or added anything to the website, and this is due to the fact that I have been working on my configs, and so far I have them in such a way that I am happy with them. I have also been switching from Qtile to i3 to, well, Dwm now, which has been fun! The reason why I have switched to DWM is because it is written in C, and as my last article stated, I am currently learning C, so it's a win-win: I get a highly hackable window manager, and I get to learn more about C. I also just like how small it is in size because I have been considering doing a few projects in the future, that being, trying BSD, LFS, and Gentoo, which DWM works on all of them; since two of them (LFS and Gentoo) require me to compile everything, this has not been the worst decision I have made.

Here is my DWM config on my PC

So far, I would say DWM is the perfect window manager for me. I do not see myself going back to Qtile or I3 any time soon because DWM has literally everything I would ever need and more, thanks to the amazing patches I am set up with. I have found it quite easy to configure it; it did take a little bit of time to get used to, but the people at Suckless have made it very easy to configure. I don't think I will be adding much to DWM from now on because I have it how I want currently, so I am pretty happy!

Trying out FreeBSD

Date: 22-7-2024

Today, I had the pleasure of trying out FreeBSD, the open source, Unix-like operating system. In this post, I will share my experience with FreeBSD based on my time using it.

Instillation

Installing FreeBSD is relatively easy; you are provided with a nice graphical interface that supports mouse input. Below is a screenshot.

I had no issues with the install script. The only problem I encountered was with using Ventoy; for some reason, FreeBSD does not work with Ventoy, so I had to burn it to a standard USB stick.

I downloaded the amd64-memstick.img for my installation of FreeBSD.

I encountered some internet issues because my test computer has an unusual Wi-Fi card. I resolved this by plugging in an Ethernet cable and would recommend doing the same for anyone installing FreeBSD or any other operating system for that matter. Using Ethernet makes the setup process so much faster.

When adding users during the FreeBSD installation, I had to include them in the `wheel` group, which grants them the ability to gain root access.

Post install

After installing everything, the first thing I noticed was that most commands in BSD are similar to those in Linux, as both are Unix-like operating systems. Another observation was that the `sudo` command was not available by default. This command allows users to run commands with root privileges, so I had to install it using FreeBSD's package manager, PKG. The command to install it is listed below.

After updating `sudo`, I was able to use the command. The next step was installing X.Org and dwm. I didn't need a display manager (login prompt) since I could use `startx`, so I focused on installing the X.Org package and `git` to use my own `dwm` configuration that I uploaded there. I tested X.Org with `startx`, and it worked fine. However, when I cloned my configuration files and tried to compile `dwm`, I encountered a problem. Fortunately, it was an easy fix thanks to a helpful post on the FreeBSD forums. After applying that fix, I was able to use my `dwm` setup successfully. I then checked if my two most-used programs, Alacritty and Librewolf, were available on FreeBSD. To my surprise, they were, and both were fully functional. Below is a photo of FreeBSD running with `neofetch` (`fakefetch` only works on Linux).

Conclusion

Overall, I like FreeBSD and could use it as a daily driver since it supports three of my most-used programs: `git`, `Librewolf`, and `Alacritty`. I appreciate how it works, but for now, I’m sticking with Linux because I am more comfortable with it and prefer Linux over BSD. In the future, I plan to set up a server with OpenBSD, as I’ve heard excellent things about BSD servers.

Thank you for reading!

Making some art

Date: 24-7-2024

Over the last few days in my free time, I have been messing around with Gimp to make some wallpapers and a profile picture. I do admit this is something I plan to do more of, so I have made a page on my projects page for all of the art I have done! Below are some examples of what I have done so far; I am exited to do some more!

Messing Around with servers

Date: 24-7-2024

Originally, this article was going to be about setting up an email server. However, due to problems with my router and the fact that I do not like the idea of hosting an email server locally in case it goes down, I have chosen not to do that. Instead, I have decided to host a different server on my local network, and that is what this article is about!

Below is my server; it is a ThinkCentre. I do not really care about the specs because it is not going to be doing much, but it does have an Intel i7, so it’s not bad at all for what I am doing. It has 8 cores and 16 GB of memory, which should be more than enough for what I am doing.

What is on the Server?

The operating system of choice for this server is Ubuntu Server; I do know it is not the best server operating system, but I will stick with it for now because I have already set everything up. In the future, I plan to migrate to either a Debian server or an OpenBSD server due to the annoyance of Ubuntu’s snap packages and other weird stuff Ubuntu likes to do.

This is my first time using Docker. Docker allows you to contain programs, such as Apache, letting you to run multiple instances and manage them easily. It has been a pretty smooth experience so far! With Docker, I have installed the Jellyfin media server.

Originally, I planned to install Plex, but the web interface was scuffed and was stuck on the "Premium Features" popup, and none of the buttons worked. So, I removed that container and chose Jellyfin instead. I have heard good things about Jellyfin beforehand, and those have turned out to be true! So far, Jellyfin has met all my needs for a media server, and I am very content with it. If I do change the server OS, I will stick with Jellyfin. I also like that you can upload books to it but I have not tried that feature yet.

- -

The other thing I have on this server is an instance of SearXNG on my local network, providing my own self-hosted search engine! I set it up because I wasn’t sure what else to do with the server, and it’s fun having my own private search engine. Plus, it is definitely much more private than using online search engines like DuckDuckGo or, God forbid, Google.

Conclusion

Overall, this has been an enjoyable project, and I will probably migrate my server sometime in the coming weeks. As always, thank you for reading!

Using Yubikey

Date: 03-8-2024

For a while now, I have wanted to own a Yubikey, but the price has always held me back since they cost a lot of money. After scouring ebay for a while, I finally found a good deal on one. I bought it, and now I’ve had the chance to mess around with it.

So far, I have been relatively happy with the Yubikey, but there is one concern I have: a lot of the firmware on the Yubikey is closed source, meaning someone like me cannot read the source code. While this may sound like something small to most, and I might seem overly cautious, but all I will say is how can you fully trust a product and its functionality if you can't see what it’s doing? Due to the Yubikey having closed source components, I have looked for some FOSS alternatives. Below, I have listed some of these products below:

New Laptop!

Date: 17-8-2024

Last weekend I was able to buy a ThinkPad L560 laptop from a car boot, and the best part about buying this laptop is it only cost me £15 with it being fully working!

Likes

The best thing about this ThinkPad as well as most ThinkPads is the keyboard; it feels so good to type on, and I love it so much; it definitely subconsciously encourages me to type faster. I also like the fact that it is bigger than my main laptop; it gives me a lot of screen space and is more comfortable for me to use. The only disadvantage to this is that the laptop does not fit in some of my bags.

Dislikes

The only thing I really dislike about the laptop is where the ports are located. This is because the charger is at the side when it should, in my opinion, be at the back where there is a USB port. There is also the fact that the screen is not all that bright, not making it ideal for outside use, but I do not plan on using it outside much. But apart from all of that, I am all happy with it!

- -

Problems

There have been two problems with this laptop so far, the first being that it had issues powering on when I brought it. But after a while with messing around with the laptop, I fixed the issue and it is all good now, but there is a chance this could happen in the future, so I have to keep that in mind. The other issue I had was the fan being weird; this problem has only occurred as of today, but it is only a small problem and is probably fixed for good now!

Trying out fish shell!

Date: 22-08-2024

What I like about Fish!

My favourite feature of the fish shell is that it has built-in tab completion, meaning it gives you options for the command you are inputting into the terminal. This also remembers the last time you typed in a command, so when I am sshing into a server, it makes it so much easier!

I also like the fact that all of the features listed above come out of the box! The only configuration I have had to do is set my aliases and make the Starship program work. I do know there are plugins that I do need to take a look at, but for now, I do not see any need for any since I am happy with what they come with!

- -

Last thoughts

Overall, I am rather impressed by fish. I will use it as my main shell for the time being, but if I do have any problems, I can just switch to Bash shell for the duration of that problem. I know there is probably a bunch I have missed out on Fish shell, but so far it has been smooth and I have nothing but good to say about it!

Arch Linux Server!

Date: 26-7-2024

Today I have installed Arch Linux on my home server; I will be honest it has been so smooth!

I use Arch Linux as my desktop Linux distro, and I knew that you could use it as a server, but I never really thought of doing it. The only reason why I have done this is just to see how good it actually is because, well, I do not hear about people using it as a server much.

What do I have on the server? 📋

I have all the same services that I hosted on my previus server install and more!

I was thinking about adding Nextcloud to my server, but I can just use the scp command for backups, plus I do not have much to put on it due to the fact all my work is hosted on Gitlab.

Searxng 🔎

Searxng is a metasearch engine that takes results from other search services. It does not track you; even the public ones don't! I like it because it gives me good results and it is easy to self-host, so I know 100% that I am not being tracked. I did try to install it without Docker, but the guidedid not work for me, so I basically took the easy way out with the official Docker image that worked.

@@ -50,9 +50,9 @@

Last words

I will probably only use Arch Linux for servers because it is hassle-free and easy to use! That is all there is to say it was easy and less of a headache than Ubuntu, at least in my experience.

Pros

Ubuntu is rather easy to install and use, from my experience when I installed it there were no issues and the setup was seamless, all the default software worked and the Ubuntu store installed apps. In terms of usability it is very usable and I can see why many people use it. -

Ubuntu has been alive for 19 years as of today and overtime it has amassed a giant community of people world wide, it is available in over languages even obscure languages like Irish Gaelic.

Since Ubuntu has a large community this means that there are a lot of support, if you have an issue there is a high chance somebody else has encountered the same problem and has posted it online and you can see the solution yourself.

Cons

The Ubuntu Snap Store is proprietary; this is bad for a Linux app store because Linux is supposed to be an outlier in a sea of proprietary operating systems. Over time, Canonical has been starting to force snap packages instead of apt packages. This is bad because snaps run slower and have a larger footprint. Just because of this, I personally would not use Ubuntu and instead use something like Linux Mint.

In the past, Ubuntu has been known to spy on its users. They also have a lot of proprietary code in the -distro, so we don't even know what that code is doing
