## Systemd Unit files
|
|
|
|
A nice and informative article about unit files.
|
|
|
|
<https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/understanding-systemd-units-and-unit-files>
|
|
|
|
## Predictable network interfaces
|
|
|
|
Get back the "old" interface names like `eth0` or `wlan0` with
|
|
{{< man systemd.link 5 >}}.
|
|
|
|
### Ethernet
|
|
|
|
This makes my ethernet interface be called **eth0** again.
|
|
|
|
Create `/usr/lib/systemd/network/80-ether.link` with this content:
|
|
|
|
~~~systemd
|
|
[Match]
|
|
Type=ether
|
|
|
|
[Link]
|
|
NamePolicy=keep kernel
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Reboot.
|
|
|
|
### Wireless
|
|
|
|
This makes my wireless interface be called **wlan0** again.
|
|
|
|
Create `/usr/lib/systemd/network/80-wlan.link` with this content:
|
|
|
|
~~~systemd
|
|
[Match]
|
|
Type=wlan
|
|
|
|
[Link]
|
|
NamePolicy=keep kernel
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Reboot.
|
|
|
|
## Setup WiFi networks
|
|
|
|
### Using **iwctl**
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ iwctl device list
|
|
$ iwctl station wlan0 scan
|
|
$ iwctl station wlan0 get-networks
|
|
$ iwctl station wlan0 connect {ssid}
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
### Using **nmcli** (NetworkManager)
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ nmcli device wifi list
|
|
$ nmcli device wifi rescan
|
|
$ nmcli device wifi connect {ssid} --ask
|
|
$ nmcli device wifi show-password
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Last command shows the connected SSID and a QR-code within the terminal.
|
|
|
|
## Using NetworkManager
|
|
|
|
We create some files in `/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d`:
|
|
|
|
## Using `iwd` as the WiFi backend
|
|
|
|
`wifi_backend.conf`:
|
|
|
|
~~~ini
|
|
[device]
|
|
wifi.backend=iwd
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
## Using `dhcpcd` as DHCP client
|
|
|
|
`dhcp-client.conf`:
|
|
|
|
~~~ini
|
|
[main]
|
|
dhcp=dhcpcd
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
## Blocking IPs from a list with ipset
|
|
|
|
Using [ipset](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ipset) should increase performance
|
|
on the box, also using the raw table should not create useless states as for what
|
|
I understand from the source article on
|
|
[serverfault.com](https://serverfault.com/a/823336).
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ sudo ipset -N badips iphash
|
|
$ while read ip; do sudo ipset -A badips "$ip"; done < blocked.txt
|
|
$ sudo iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -m set --match-set badips src,dst -j DROP
|
|
$ sudo iptables-save -f /etc/iptables/iptables.rules
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Enable iptables in case it is not running yet.
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ sudo systemctl enable --now iptables.service
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Also make the ipset configuration persistent:
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ sudo ipset save -file /etc/ipset.conf
|
|
$ sudo systemctl enable ipset.service
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Reboot to test its persistency.
|
|
|
|
## Do not manage one specific USB dongle
|
|
|
|
`99-unmanaged-devices.conf`:
|
|
|
|
~~~ini
|
|
[keyfile]
|
|
unmanaged-devices=mac:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
|
|
~~~

### Arch Linux ARM installation on a Raspberry Pi 2

## Create a 32-bit Wine prefix
|
|
|
|
I create my wine prefixes usually like this:
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ export WINEPREFIX=/home/dominic/.wine-winlink
|
|
$ export WINEARCH=win32
|
|
$ wine wineboot

## Installing multiple ruby versions
|
|
|
|
I came to the point to test an older website from me and it was made with
|
|
Jekyll which I had to install quickly. Problems occured with OpenSSL and I
|
|
finally managed to install ruby version 2.7.1 and 3.0.0 in my home directory.
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ rvm pkg install openssl
|
|
$ rvm install "ruby-3.0.0" --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
|
|
$ rvm install "ruby-2.7.1" --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Later in the desired directory, I re-installed the gems because with ruby 2.7.1
|
|
I got another "Directory not found" error.
|
|
|
|
I had to do this because I used ruby 2.7.1 on one website.
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ bundle install --force
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
## Bigger font for systemd-boot
|
|
|
|
Edit `/boot/loader/loader.conf`:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
console-mode 0
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
Possible settings are:
|
|
|
|
| Value | Description |
|
|
| :--- | :--- |
|
|
| 0 | Standard UEFI 80x25 mode |
|
|
| 1 | 80x50 mode, not supported by all devices |
|
|
| 2 | the first non-standard mode provided by the device firmware, if any |
|
|
| auto | Pick a suitable mode automatically using heuristics |
|
|
| max | Pick the highest-numbered available mode |
|
|
| keep | Keep the mode selected by firmware (the default) |
|
|
|
|
More details can be found in {{< man loader.conf 5 >}}.

### Manual sections
|
|
|
|
| Section | Description |
|
|
| :--- | :--- |
|
|
| 1 | Section 1 of the manual describes **user commands** and tools, for example, file manipulation tools, shells, compilers, web browsers, file and image viewers and editors, and so on |
|
|
| 2 | Section 2 of the manual describes the Linux **system calls**. A system call is an entry point into the Linux kernel. Usually, system calls are not invoked directly: instead, most system calls have corresponding C library wrapper functions which perform the steps required (e.g., trapping to kernel mode) in order to invoke the system call. Thus, making a system call looks the same as invoking a normal library function. |
|
|
| 3 | Section 3 of the manual describes all **library functions** excluding the library functions (system call wrappers) described in Section 2, which implement system calls. |
|
|
| 4 | Section 4 of the manual describes **special files (devices)**. |
|
|
| 5 | Section 5 of the manual describes various **file formats**, as well as the **corresponding C structures**, if any. |
|
|
| 6 | Section 6 of the manual describes the **games** and funny little programs available on the system. |
|
|
| 7 | Section 7 of the manual provides **overviews on various topics**, and describes conventions and protocols, character set standards, the standard filesystem layout, and miscellaneous other things. |

## Encoding videos with ffmpeg
|
|
|
|
This is not an Arch way of encoding videos, but since I do this on my...
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ ffmpeg -i <input> -c:v libx264 -b:v 1M -maxrate 1M -bufsize 2M -pass 1 -f null /dev/null
|
|
$ ffmpeg -i <input> -c:v libx264 -b:v 1M -maxrate 1M -bufsize 2M -pass 2 <output>
