I had ~60GB going spare on my #RaspberryPi so figured I may as well make the most of it and set up #Samba for file sharing across my LAN. I'm allowing access only from mine and my partner's IPs (which are bound to our MACs) but I'm concerned the share isn't encrypted, so anyone could just walk up to the Pi and take out the SD. Any suggestions for securing shares?
#Ubuntu interface renaming anyone? On multiple occasions I've had #VPS #networking issues. For some reason my loopback interface is called "rename1". Support assures me this is normal/default config, but it just doesn't make sense to me. Why not "lo" for loopback, and why did it get renamed in the first place? Soon I'm just going to get rid and start fresh with trusty #Debian.
I've finally figured out the #CLI #ykman tool for managing my #Yubikey credentials. It works nicely and I've also managed to set up a challenge-response key for use with #KeePassXC.

I'm currently working on a #script to run after login, which does the following:
1. Bring down WiFi interface
2. Spoof MAC
3. Generate random word
4. Change hostname to random word
3. Bring up WiFi interface
4. Connect to VPN
Should I write it in #Bash or #Python?
Currently written in Bash, but despite the hostname changing successfully when the script runs, running 'hostname' afterwards outputs default hostname...
I would love to try flashing a #Thinkpad with #Coreboot/#Libreboot at some point, but after seeing what it involves (flash plugs etc.), I'm not so sure I want to step any closer to the edge of that rabbit hole. I can already see the hours of trial and error and stress, with potentially nothing to show for it. I have a habit of putting too much on my plate...
Can anyone recommend an online store, preferably accepting crypto and based in the #UK, which sells pentesting gear (#wifi adapters suitable for monitor mode etc.)? All roads in my research seem to lead back to the terrible two I want to avoid: eBay and Amazon.
I know of #Maltronics and #Hak5, but neither sell wifi adapters (which is specifically what I'm after).
Still confused about #terminal colour escape codes? So am I. So it's a good job someone's created another useful #cheatsheet: https://nitter.net/pic/https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FEZns5idWAAIGIlI.jpg%3Fname%3Dorig #ansi #ascii #linux #commandline
