<![CDATA[[solved]how to copy a list of files to a folder ?]]> figured it out:

rsync -v --files-from=list --no-relative / ./directory

adding the --no-relative did the trick, feel like a moron, sorry for this waste of a thread, please close/bin/delete

<![CDATA[systemd-homed in Arch Linux]]> I dunno.  There is a lot of PFM technology in systemd.  I still don't fully grasp everything going on with logind, seats, sessions, Xorg session and pulseaudio interaction.  It works for me, so I don't delve into it.
Frankly, I don't dismiss the possibility that your assertion might become true.

Edit:  Funny : "Home directories on Unix are ridiculously lenient"  I read that as lennart  tongue

<![CDATA[Readline vi mode patches?]]> Do you know of any patches that I could apply to readline that improve vi editing mode?
For instance, one that could add functionality similar to that of surround.vim plugin.

Did some searching, but couldn't find anything similar. I know there's https://github.com/ardagnir/athame, but I'd prefer just to improve the capabilities of readline.

<![CDATA[Hijacking VPN-tunneled TCP connections]]> @nl6720 I read

	when doing source validation on the {interface}.

To mean the max of net net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter and net.ipv4.conf.interface.rp_filter will be used.
So loose overrides strict overrides none.
However if

net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1

is set before any interfaces are created then that value will also be used as the per interface value,
which is why /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf only needs to set one value.

<![CDATA[Bit overwhelmed; looking for some general learning Linux advice]]> Sophia,
My 2-cents contribution for what it's worth..
Two very useful books on my shelf are Study Guides
for the LPIC (I had no intention of taking the exam;
but they're handy reference works to get you started.

"LPIC-1 Study Guide" by Roderick W. Smith,
  Publisher: John Wiley  ISBN: 978-1-118-49563-6

"LPIC-2 Study Guiide" by C. Bresnahan and R. Blum
  Publisher: Sybex (Wiley)  ISBN978-1-119-15079-4

Note also that the O'Reilly company publishes an
awful lot of useful books on linux <http://oreilly.com>
with specialis pocket guides on subjects lile Bash,
SED and C. I found them worth the money.
[BTW I've been retired for som years and have no
commercial interest in any of these products.]

Hope this helps

<![CDATA[wget diffs?]]> Your title says you are looking for diffs which would not be possible without transfering the full content of one of the files.  But if you mean just downloading pages/files that have actually changed, then yes '-m' is the way.  But this depends on the timestamps the server provides for the files - it is entirely up to the server when/if these are updated and dynamic content (e.g. php pages) will always be considered new.

must: open source, not cloud based.

<![CDATA[Does the big fuss about "universal packaging" make any sense?]]> I think the argument that it's hard for *big* companies to support Linux is pretty stupid. It's loose change for them. On the other end of the scale, it does make a difference. I'm the lead ( and sometimes sole ) developer of an ETL framework. I had previously distributed everything as a fully configured VM. It was the only feasible option that I could support. In the past year, I've switched to Flatpak, and it makes a *huge* difference. We can now support basically any distro ( anything that has flatpak ), and it takes far less effort to do all the maintenance that I'd prefer to not have to do at all.

Packages should not contain any of the following directories:

A reference to the user's /home in /etc/profile would not technically violate those guidelines though?

No, I guess not. But I like the fact that Arch has always left those decisions (about /home) up to me, and how I decide how I want to set things up, including PATH.

<![CDATA[Desktop environment stability. Gnome Shell vs Others]]> My main concern when choosing between alternative apps is usually "who's in control : me or the app ?"

GTK3 apps often feel less under my control then QT5 apps.

<![CDATA[session locks on Linux - how do they work?]]> loginctl only sends a request to the registered screen-lock for that session.
The screen-lock is then responsible for ensuring the screen becomes locked.

I don't think it is supported. Is it still possible to create "App Passwords" while 2FA is active? Then you could try to use that for the notifier.


I never used one before. I’ll give it a try.
