Most companies I’ve worked at where employees had a Microsoft work computers. They were under heavy control, even with admin privileges. I was wondering, for a corporate environment, how employees’Linux desktops could be kept under control in a similar way. What would be an open source or Linux based alternative to the...
I hate zscaler. At my company it’s set up so that it proxies all traffic through it and comes with its own CA certificates, which breaks a lot of things - I can’t install pip packages for python, I can’t clone/work with git repos if they’re on https only. We are used to temporarily disable it to do these things because corporate won’t change the policies.
One would expect ubuntuforums.org but that forum is so ancient, it’s still asking for ICQ IDs in your profile. Not sure how many are using it. I still asked there but I’m not sure if it’s the best location.

I haven’t had battery usage issues with it for years! Just checked now and it’s below 0.4% - it doesn’t even show up in the main app list in the battery settings.
So, at the moment I’m using Nginx Proxy Manager, but lately I started seeing it moving slower and slower and even though I tried traefik some time ago, I didn’t manage to make it work....
So, currently, as I said, I’m using nginx proxy manager and do this:
reverse proxy to all my services inside the internal network on http: *arr stuff, rss reader, jellyfin and some other minor things. All of them use name.local.home notation. I’m using a local DNS for this, of course.
reverse proxy to just two services externally on https under wildcard certificates - both are non-standard names and the names are not related to the services themselves. For both these services I use Authelia with 2FA, so even if an attacker guesses the subdomain name, they’ll have to bypass that. As far as I can see in my logs, there are no attempts to breach my services. This is what I want to replicate and I’m planning on testing it.
On the other hand, You gave me a good idea about using *.lab.domain.com getting resolved by the local DNS and the main *.domain.com by my public DNS. I’ll give this a try too in the near future. Another plan for me is to start using Authentik, as I saw it’s a bit better than Authelia in some areas, even though it may be overkill for a little project - I’ll have to see.
It’s not slow as in slow to respond. it’s slow when restarting… sometimes it takes 3-4 minutes until it’s up and I don’t have time for that ;-) Also, it’s a good “reason” for me to learn traefik.
I chose Debian 12 as a solid and stable base. Which of these shipped DEs is the best for this particular laptop series and Windows 10 like user experience?...
If they’re used to Windows, then KDE Plasma would be the better option IMO. If you feel it’s too slow on an old laptop, then you can try Cinnamon or XFCE.

XMPP is an old protocol. GTalk (google talk) and Whatsapp used it, then extended it, then didn’t give back to the community. So here we are…
The problem with alternative protocols and apps and whatnot is that people are reluctant to change and won’t try anything new if only 2-3 other people use that protocol/service. I can’t even convince my best friends to use Signal, let alone XMPP.
Actually I am switching to Wayland and Most of apps I use support GTK Theming (Librewolf,Thunderbird,Libreoffice etc).But I cant find any terminal which is based on Gtk so that I can complete this theming. So do you people know of any GTK based Terminal for wayland?
As other people have commented: why would GTK be so important? A terminal should be a bare window, without any decoration. At least that’s what I use: first setting I check in a terminal is “disable window title” or something like that.

#!/usr/bin/env will look in PATH for bash, and bash is not always in /bin, particularly on non-Linux systems. For example, on OpenBSD it’s in /usr/local/bin, as it’s an optional package.
If you are sure bash is in /bin and this won’t change, there’s no harm in putting it directly in your shebang.
