I have the Proxy Manager app running on my Pixel 3a and the app works perfectly for connecting to my private proxy address but if I swipe away the app the proxy disconnects. The problem is this, one of the apps on my Pixel 3a can see the Proxy Manager and then flags me for using a VPN and rendering that app unable to connect.

Is there a way to hide the Proxy Server app from other applications? How does the other app see that I am running a proxy server app? Is there a way to point my phone's global settings to always connect to the private proxy? Any help is appreciated. :)

Little appreciation to Lg designer, they deliberately put the switches little lower side for design continuity. I measure the case button position & they are exactly on v60 from bottom to button position.

They did this so user memory mussel won't get confuse.

On this gap View attachment 5459185 this is where 3rd mic seated. When i 1st get my DS i was upset they didn't keep a hole in their like cheap case/cove.

But when i saw the button position i discover this also. They did this way because the person who hold the phone during video recording will get much clear voice.

Any luck with the replacement? Able to confirm it's anywhere near to the advertized capacity?
[Linux] bronkish:
I just want to say that it has always bothered me that people say Windows is attacked more because it's more popular.

What a load of horse****.

Windows is attacked more because it's easier for viruses to actually run. A windows machine is infected far more readily than Linux - it's pretty bleeping hard for a virus to run in Linux. In fact, until fairly recently - there was only 1 virus for Linux and that was proof of concept.

As far as I understand it, there are a few viruses (a virus, actually) that exist that will run in Linux these days. I have never run an anti-virus on my Linux system and I never will. Waste of system resources, unnecessary. There is actually an antivus for Linux - I think it's called clam. You would ONLY install and use it if windows machines were on your lan.

Viruses aren't as big a problem as they once were - but windows machines were/are targets because windows makes it easy not because windows is popular. Po;ular helps, but, Linux runs everything except your desktop - it's pretty popular.
[Linux] ironLink21:
I would agree only that clam/clamTK is basically just an email scanning tool (it only scans for windows viruses) and you would only need to really worry about messing with it on servers that are shipping things to and from windows and not just on your LAN (like an email server)

Linux does have viruses but not like windows they take the form of rootkits which I would recommend any Linux user run rootkit scanners every once and a while to make sure your system is clean. You can also use SELinux if you're really worried about things. Fedora has that enabled by default.

I totally agree with you though that it is pretty hard to get viruses on a Linux box that effect that Linux box or other network devices. Linux is used everywhere; servers, IOT devices, embedded systems, routers, everywhere. It's the most popular OS for everything but desktops where windows has most of that market share
[Linux] bronkish:
Inideed, and, thanks for clarifying Clam. In fact, you just reminded me to run rkhunter.
[Linux] Keule-Tm:
The point is always: you need some sort of interaction if you want your malware to be run. And if you got an interaction with a Linux desktop user, you can try to make them run e.g. a shell bomb instead of a virus. Having some 2% of market share the Linux desktop user is simply not attractive. Otherwise there would be much more sophisticated shell bomb designs, exploiting e.g. zerodays to pull some nifty data.

But on Android you usually can't do that, because on stock ROMs the shell is pretty useless. Plus most of the interesting data is in the cloud anyway, so it's easier to put your malware into an app or attack the server.
[Linux] Avraham Tsaban:
A seemingly full list of past linux malware may be found here (Wikipedia, "Linux Malware" article).

AFAIK, a well patched system should be secure.
[Linux] Tajil:
bro, could u give me the url/resources of that linux virus ?

"...here was only 1 virus for Linux and that was proof of concept.."
[Linux] Avraham Tsaban:
Well, as I referred above, I think he is mistaken.

Anyway, a frequently updated Linux workstation, not configured to be publicly accessible from the Internet, should be very secure.
[Linux] Tom33231:
I’m sure I never have gotten a virus but there’s a possibility that I did in 2015 when I first began using Linux after that windows 10 dumpster fire. Basically on Ubuntu 14.04 lts I installed a deb package thinking it was a conky widget and after a few minutes of wondering why my widget wasn’t there I realized my personal files in my home folder were all of a sudden deleting themselves. I removed the package just kept having these issues and didn’t go away until I reinstalled the os. It did ask for root access on reboot and only typed it in once but kept having some weird system daemon ask for my password on reboot when it didn’t do that before. Reinstalling of course fixed the issue but lost files and important files from it. Not lying either as I just started out on Linux and was a noob, and mainly used the gui until 2016-17 for installing packages on it and navigating the system. My fault as I should have done more research, but never had something like that happened again thankfully. Still using Linux to this day but still duel boot windows and Debian testing. Hopefully things get better in gaming performance which is almost there and can completely switch. Glad this new pc software and hardware section was added. Also used to work at a place called wireless solutions in Mid West City Oklahoma and found this website useful through out the few months I works there, this job I had as a High School student was repairing smartphones mainly iOS and android based devices. Glad to see this forum site continue to grow, it has been a while since I have been on here so not sure when the computing section was added. Also I just created an account recently as when I had this job mainly just went on here as a guest without an account.
[Linux] Tom33231:
I will say Linux seems to usually get a bit better fps and generally better performance over all, on my new hp pavilion eh1070wm laptop. I’m getting off topic so getting off for now as of typing, have a wonderful night if your in CST.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lotus1922:
If so, what variant and what carrier?

I'm currently with Tracfone, who supposedly uses all the major US carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile). I have one of their AT&T network-compatible SIM cards but according to AT&T's list of post-3g shutdown compatible phones ( https://www.att.com/idpassets/images/support/wireless/Devices-Working-on-ATT-Network.pdf ) , only the G4 H810 will work.

I'd really prefer to use the 815 over the 810 (I have both, worried about the bootloop on 810; the 815 has a higher serial # mobo which I'm hoping means less bootloop likelihood ... knock wood). My theory is that if the H815 is compatible with any of the other carriers, that I could get the corresponding compatible SIM from Tracfone for it. But I haven't been able to find a similarly definitive list for any of the other carriers. So I'm wondering what anyone else is doing?
[Linux] bronkish:
I don't do a lot anymore on my system. I have a very basic Debian installation (config'd my way) which basically runs as a web server, file manager, web browser. 'Course, I'm on it all the time, but, I don't use many apps. I used to develop sites, manage clients, generate documentation, a bunch of related stuff - even graphical work and some audio (I play an instrument), but I no longer use my computer or any devices for business, or, work. Just a regular joe schmoe now.

You all probably do a whole lot more than I do, and use more and different apps. What are your most-used apps? My top apps are as follows:

terminal

firefox (tweaked and whatnot)

claws-mail

keepassXC

nextcloud (the server is no longer locally installed)

nano

geany

tellico (rare)

gimp (rare)

I was going to list 10, but, lol, I can't think of any more

[Linux] DrScrad:
You should give one of the Arch based distros a whirl if you're looking to either challenge yourself.. plus on arch based distros, you don't have to worry with AS MANY dependencies as Debian based ones in my opinion.. I constantly bounce back and forth from Endeavour OS to Garuda Linux ..
[Linux] bronkish:
I forgot more than I'll ever know again about Linux, lol. I've used arch, actually, all of them, gentoo's stages.... Even while running Debian, from potato or something, I was distro-hopping and compiling this and that, rebuilding kernels - all the 'fun' stuff. I mean, you had to create your own floppy drive. I broke everything and got pretty damned savvy for the fixing. I ran every server, tweaked everything. I gotta be in neck-deep, it's a disease. I can still hear my ex wife, "you'll figure it out"' . No doubt after hearing me say - fuk'ing thing!

pffft. Nowadays I just want a handy script, if I need one, reliability, and I still want/maintain privacy. Debian and I have been gellin' just fine. I have a bash alias for installing apps which limits dependencies that I use by default, but, it's not as clean as compiling everything myself, which, pffft, get off my lawn! ;)

alias install='sudo aptitude --without-recommends install'

I only use that alias because either aptitude or debian defaulted to --with-recommends and I'm not down with all that cruft.

Know what I used to love? Puppy Linux and Mepis. Also, aww, damn, what was it - this one distro you could boot to and fix everything. It was the first one, way back - damn I can't remember what it was. One of the first bootable and the first boot to for repairs and whatnot. If you say it I'll remember it. EDIT - you could even boot it to graphical!

'Nother EDIT - it was Knoppix! It just hit me.

[Linux] DrScrad:
Yeah, I would have to agree that as an all around Arch Linux, it's by far one of themore aesthetically pleasing distros out... Unforunately, it's super resource heavy in comparison to others such as Endeavour, so i do what anyone that has a notion to critique something in Linux should do.. I went and cherry picked my favorite tools from their Gitlab page and now have the best of both worlds ...

NO CONDOM!
[Linux] bronkish:

[Linux] bronkish:
couple apps I didn't mention that I always install, but don't necessarily use, though they are always 'on': unclutter and redshift.

Unclutter takes the mouse out of the way after 10 seconds and redshift tones down the blue light as the sun descends. Indispensable apps as far as I am concerned.

One app I also failed to mention, that I use constantly, is scrot. Scrot takes screenshots in a number of ways via a handy keybind. AYFKM? Fabulous. In OpenBox I can add scrot commands to a menu as well as that handy keybind. Look... (~/.config/openbox/menu.xml)

<!--Scrot Menu-->
<menu id="scrot" label="Scrot" icon="/usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/emotes/face-kiss.svg">

<item icon="/usr/share/icons/Faenza/devices/scalable/camera.svg" label="delay 5">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h_%X.jpg' -d 5 -e 'mv $f ~/scrots/'
</execute>
</action>
</item>
<item icon="/usr/share/icons/Faenza/devices/scalable/camera.svg" label="Select Area (Alt-PrtSc)">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h_%X.jpg' -s -e 'mv $f ~/scrots/'
</execute>
</action>
</item>
<item icon="/usr/share/icons/Faenza/devices/scalable/camera.svg" label="screen with 20% thumb">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h_%X.jpg' -t 30 -e 'mv $f ~/scrots/'
</execute>
</action>
</item>
</menu>
<!--end scrot menu-->

View attachment 5469629

as for the keybind, look (~/.config/openbox/rc.xml):

<!--SCROT-->
<keybind key="W-Print">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h_%X.jpg' -s -e 'mv $f ~/scrots/ &amp; gpicview ~/scrots/$f'</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-Insert">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h_%X.jpg' -e 'mv $f ~/scrots/'</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="Print">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>scrot '%Y-%m-%d--%s_$wx$h_scrot.jpg' -e 'mv $f ~/scrots/ &amp; gpicview ~/scrots/$f'</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<!--END SCROT-->

So, I use the menu entry in order to choose 'select area' if I only need a section of the screen, or I'll use win+insert on the keyboard if I want the entire screen. Of course, that 5 second delay is wicked, too.

A few months ago, after having Manjaro as a dual boot, I made the move to just stay on that OS until I either learned to love it or couldn't live without WIndows.

I can't r remember the last time I logged into Windows.... Seriously, it's been weeks and even then it was for something I ended up figuring out on Manjaro
[Linux] archie05:
I last logged in to Windows in 2018... since then Ubuntu ----> Fedora ----> now ArchLinux... never going back..

Yah, my next step is wondering if sitting on Manjaro is enough, find a different Arch-based OS or take the plunge when I'm on my next vacation and try and build Arch from scratch.
[Linux] archie05:
you can try EndeavourOS, ArcoLinux, GarudaLinux or straing out build arch...
[Linux] ironLink21:
I've tried fedora for work when I got a new work laptop but I didn't stay with it I ended up switching back to Manjaro after a couple of months. I can't remember the reason but I think it was wondering to do with Nvidia + prime + displays not working?

I've heard good things about these other arch based distros but I haven't tried them yet. Looking at distro watch EndeavorOS has climbed to 2nd place over Manjaro (3rd place)
[Linux] archie05:
Distrowatch is baseless and missleading... but yes if you want to try Arch based distro the you must go for Endeavour, Garuda or Arco

I just watched a vid recently on the top 5 Arch-based Distros (Named Manjaro #1) but Garuda is starting to make some noise and I see it mentioned here. I really think that's going to be my next OS.

I have an old Mini laptop that came with Win 7 that I tried many different Distro's on, and Manjaro was the first one that ran smoothly. I think I'm going to have to break that one out and play with Garuda before I use it to practice building Arch from scratch

garuda is a heavy os... 8gb or above ram winn be better... also an ssd will be a plus
[Linux] HipKat:
Good to know., then. It'll be too heavy for the mini. On my Desktop, another story. It's a beast (32GB Ram, etc...)
[Linux] archie05:
better use either endeavour or build archlinux... both are lightweight
[Linux] HipKat:
I went with Endeavor. Pain in the but getting a live USB to install. I ended up having to go back to Qindows and using Rufus to create the USB
[Linux] archie05:
there are lots of options... BalenaEtcher, RosaImageWriter, Ventoy...

you can use any one of them to create bootable device... i would suggest RosaImageWriter
