That's curious; maybe this is device/distro-specific? I've had good experience using this approach to transfer files to both my tablet (Samsung s2, lineage) and phone (pixel7, grapheneos). Or maybe Termux is pulling some addi

if you use Termux to host your service, then you can "Acquire wakelock" to keep it available with the screen off. That's an action-button attached to the Termux notification, and I believe also the main reason Termux has a no

The case you're outlining (an uefi rootkit) is pretty much the worst case; assuming you get infected by some malware which decides to install a malicious firmware (BIOS update), then pretty much nothing is getting in the way of that. W

Please be extremely careful blindly trusting oneliners from GPT's! Plenty of horror stories, but I'll name a recent one as example: Someone wanted to use FFmpeg to (losslessly) convert video files from one container to another and

Atuin should help with large histories; https://atuin.sh/ Graduating specific oneliners into functions/scripts is also a good chance to clean them up a bit, but it's a balance that's hard to strike - too many

I can warmly recommend making your own oneliners.txt over time, especially if you hop between boxes a lot. Some of the more hyper-specific entries in my own list has saved my bacon more times than I'd like to admit... https:/&#x2

Replacing glibc with musl is usually unproblematic. That's what I did for my own portable toolbox which builds to a single self-extracting binary; https://github.com/9001/lxc

I've found zstd --long=31 to be an excellent replacement for lrzip. Mentioned it in the github issue as well, cross posting for context. I'm not associated with either zstd or lrzip, but would still be curious to hear if you find

I built a Win10 binary with Nuitka just the other day, and was surprised to find the pyinstaller binary had higher performance at runtime. Pyinstaller also had several other advantages, such as producing smaller binaries, and building faste

Like jasomill mentions, the browser playback issues statement has not been true on desktops for a long time. The most recent (or only) example I know of is iPhones, which finally added passable support for non-44.1kHz audio somewhere betwee

I always use "zstd --long=31 -T0 -19" to compress disk images, since that is a usecase where it generally offers vastly superior compression to xz, deduplicating across bigger distances. XZ offers slightly better compression on av

indeed; it should be trivial in any language. Here's python: https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/a080759a03ef5c0a6b06c...

Thank you for the correction -- it is likely that I did use count= when I ran into this some 10 years ago (and been paranoid about ever since). I thought a chunk of data was missing in the middle of the output file, causing everything after

This use of dd may cause corruption! You need iflag=fullblock to ensure it doesn't truncate any blocks, and (at the risk of cargo-culting) conv=sync doesn't hurt as well. I prefer to just nc -l -p 1234 > /dev/nvme0nX.

In that case we probably have the answer already :) The next question then would have been whether secureboot-signing it yourself and replacing the PK/DB in the BIOS would have made it work, but it's really unfortunate that we&#x2

iPXE makes the client-side part of it manageable; the only drawback is having to walk through the open pull-requests on github for the patches you need to get it working, and possibly having to fight some buggy uefi drivers (usually solved

The warning is also opt-in; you'll have to run python with PYTHONWARNINGS=always or similar to see it. Which is scary, because you will be taking the performance hit from generating the warning regardless, which can easily amount to 30

neat! i was aware of bash's built-in tcp client at /dev/tcp, but gawk being able to function as a tcp server is way cooler. Thanks for that bit of knowledge :>
