• Switching to PinePhone for a noob

  It seems it is possible to connect a docking bar to the PinePhone but I cannot find what happens next? Is it possible to show on a screen what is displayed on my phone or is it dual screen or can I choose? I love the concepts behind maruOs but I think the project is dead. Source: about 1 year ago

• Available Today: Windows Dev Kit 2023 a.k.a. Project Volterra

  >> So what exactly are “consumers” clamoring for that are not currently being delivered? Until other choices are available, people tend to accept the default or keep on doing what was done in the past. There is a segment of consumers that would like choices beyond Apple and Google mobile operating systems:... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How can I use my old Android phone as a basic computer?

  Depending on what the model is, you could try Maru https://maruos.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Are any Android ROMs focused on Android's desktop mode?

  I just found MaruOS. It appears to be exactly what I was looking for. They are a little small apparently. They support only Nexus and Pixel phones and one Samsung's device. Hopefully they'll have a bright future. Source: over 2 years ago

• Use phone as desktop computer when linked to a monitor

  So someone in this subreddit told me about Maru OS and that really got me dreaming about using my phone as a desktop computer when connected to a monitor. The Astro Slide with its dual boot capabilities and its two USB-C ports would be ideal for that I think. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Docker, Linux, Security. Kinda.

  As an example we will look at man 1 bwrap. Bubblewrap allows us to sandbox an application, not too dissimilar to docker. Flatpaks use bubblewrap as part of their sandbox. Bubblewrap can optionally take in a list of syscalls to filter. The filter is expressed as a BPF(Berkley Packet Filter program - remember when I said docker gives you a friendlier interface to seccomp?) program. Below is a short program... - Source: dev.to / 29 days ago

• KeePassXC Debian maintainer has removed all network features

  I have already been using bubblewrap[1] to isolate KeePassXC from the network and more (the only access it has is to its own private directory and the Wayland socket). I wouldn't recommend relying on devs or maintainers to do application isolation work for you. [1] <https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap>. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Using GitLab Kubernetes Runners to Build Melange Packages

  Recently, I came across Chainguard and wrote the article How to build Docker Images with Melange and Apko. As a fervent supporter of Kubernetes and GitLab CI, I was eager to experiment with building images using Melange in this particular setup. GitLab's shared Runners work seamlessly with Bubblewrap, eliminating the need for additional configurations. This post is intended for enthusiasts like myself, interested... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• A Study of Malicious Code in PyPI Ecosystem

  ``` This is basically manually invoking what Flatpak does: https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap This is also useful for more than just security. E.G., you can test how your app would behave on a fresh install by masking your user configuration files. I personally also have a tool that uses it to basically bundle all dependencies from an entire Linux... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Firejail: Light, featureful and zero-dependency security sandbox for Linux

  To, say, override the KDE plugins while testing. This is useful for me since it's rather challenging during development to actually get KDE apps to reliably load my plugins on NixOS: I think kio slaves are probably wrapped and getting other environments injected into them. Rather than bother with any tricky hacks, Linux namespaces make it relatively easy to test regardless. Bubblewrap is used internally by Flatpak... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
