Haven’t checked my low level sound drivers in a long time - I’m using pipewire and wireplumber to control it all. Is ALSA still there at the bottom/as a dependency? Arch btw.

This about the IFS variable was eye opening! Thank you SO much! This is exactly what I was trying to understand, namely, how on earth the for-loop is smart enough to understand how to count when I haven’t specified a numerical interval (as I do in for instance C when I practice that). This just solved it all. Thanks! Now I also understand why my code gave me excessive outputs when I changed ls into ls -l. The IFS variable made the for-loop count every single blank space!!! :D

Reading this part of the Bash manual for the third time today, I think I finally understood it better, thanks to this part in particular:

[…]execute commands once for each word in the resultant list […]

In other words, whatever follows in is half expected to result in a list of words (items), each for which command is then executed. Beyond that, I guess I’d have to simply look at the logic behind for-expressions.

Thanks!

I was a teacher for some years and I absolutely understand your style of explanation. I don’t find it condescending at all! Thank you so much for the in depth guidance! Some of it I already knew, some of it I didn’t. Anyhow, a new perspective is always appreciated! :) God, Bash (GNU/Linux in general) is so much fun!

Thanks! I’ll noodle it around a little. :)

Now THAT sounds like a smart solution! I’ll look into it! :) I can ask my ISP to give me a static address for my home. But something needs to prompt the ssh command “at home” to connect to my second computer, right (actually Termux on my Android phone)?

And then there is user management and permissions that I could sprinkle on top that.

I’ll check it out.

True. Hadn’t thought of that. Maybe I could make the address extremely long and arbitrary? And “hide” it behind my e-mail alias service?

But I absolutely understand the security implications.

Hm… I’d run the script/service with root privileges and make the commands concise one-liners, maybe… I’m actually only looking at the shutdown command , presuming that it does sync and umount gracefully…

Maybe I could reduce security risks by creating a user that can only run shutdown. And make it so that only that user can access (download, print, execute) emails?

Sweet!

Would it be possible for an average user like me to host the whole AUR and the whole Arch Wiki to make it available at times like this? I’m already seeding a couple of Arch isos (not pirate lingo).

I just want to help out.

Not with the front end iptables. Linux can filter packets based on their source and destination IP, port and MAC address. It can also filter packets based on their state, being NEW,ESTABLISHED, RELATES,INVALID and UNTRACKED. You can check what processes are establishing connections with for instance ss or lsof -i and what commands or binaries/executables stand for those processes with for instance ps.

I know of no userland utility with which one could specify processes, command names or binaries/executables to block. Which might seem like a hassle from a Windows perspective, but the level of control that you achieve with Linux’s packet filtering is neat and it has taught loads about how networking and the Internet works. :)

😂🤮 I didn’t even look at them. Just quickly searched and copy-pasted shit for OP. 🤣

Dang it… Thanks for enlightening me!
