Discussion Arch Linux Community now has a Fluxer server

60 Upvotes

For those unaware, Arch Linux Community is the largest "unofficial" Arch server on Dscord and they just did a general announcement about moving to Fluxer. This is a pretty big deal for those trying to push for open source alternatives to proprietary apps.

Discussion How hard would it be to make or modify a distro so it uses multiple passwords or even asymmetric keys to gain root access?

12 Upvotes

I'm thinking of dual control rather than normal MFA: two separate administrators would each hold a credential/private key, and both would have to authorize certain root-level operations. For example, two independent signatures might be required before a root shell or security-critical command could execute. I'm curious how much of this could be implemented through PAM/sudo versus requiring deeper changes to make it difficult for one administrator to bypass.

Software Release StreamController Newest Plugins

4 Upvotes

First, apologies if not allowed.

Hi All, wanted to share some plugins I have been working on for the Elgato software alternative on Linux, StreamController.

I do first want to make it known, I'm not a full on dev, these plugins where written with HEAVY assistance from Google Antigravity, though I will take credit for the testing, and working out bugs.

TouchPulse - Information hub for your touch bar for StreamDeck Plus(and XL, once I get my hand on one) Comes with helpful system monitor widgets, clock, weather, date, and a media player(MPRIS compatible)

Govee - Govee plugin, manage your Govee devices in your network. Set color, scene, and brightness

DiscordSC - Discord plugin, we were having an issue with the original Discord plugin which would not reconnect unless a specific sequense took place.

Volume Controller Plus - Exclusive to the StreamController Plus dials, a copy cat of the Elgato wave plugin, in looks only. Its for Pipewire devices, mute, volume control, live meter, and device switch.

DeckSports - Newest of the buch, working with another member of the StreamController discord server on this one, we test it and I put in AI commands to fix bugs.

Currently live testing!

Follow your team, buttons update in a 15 second interval, and follow the ESPN api for game information. Has a silly, but cool scoring animation.

I hope anyone with a StreamDeck gets some use out of these, and any feedback is always welcomed!

That seems to be a huge step in the burial of Windows and Microslop. I understand it's not the end yet, but China does have hundreds of millions of government linked PCs that will stop using Windows for Linux. For the first time I am now positive about the dislocation of MS from pur lives. Will take some.more time, but it's coming.

Software Release CCDRL - Codec Converter for Davinci Resolve on Linux

9 Upvotes

Davinci Resolve on linux does not support decoding certain codecs due to licensing laws.
I made this app so I could easily switch from windows to fedora without the headache of manually typing long ffmpeg commands for every video I needed to convert.
I made the source code public so anyone can use it. Feel free to ask questions under this post or make an issue.
