The issue at hand: My /var/tmp folder is stacking up on literary hundreds of folders called "container_images_storage_xxxxxxxxxx", where the x's present a random number. Each folder contains the following files called 1, 2 and 3 as seen in thumbnail. Each folder seems to increase in size too, as the lowest I can see is the size of 142.2 MiB, but the highest 2.1GB. This is a problem as it is taking up all my disk space, and even if I do delete them, they come back the next day... I believe this has something to do with podman, but I'm really not quite sure. All I use the PC for is browsing and gaming.

Is there a way to figure out where a file or folder is coming from on Linux? I've tried stat and file, but neither gave me any worthwhile information AFAIK. Would really appreciate some help to figure what causes this, I am still new to the Linux desktop and have no idea what is causing this issue. I am on atomic desktop, using Bazzite:latest.

Yo peeps, I'm currently looking into TCF Vendors, Ad partners and their whole corporate greed hellhole of tracking. I am writing a paper on this, and would like for everything to be factually correct. However, I am struggling to understand one particular part of this "transparency framework" and hope someone can help me clarify on cookie-duration.

As seen in the first thumbnail, the cookie duration is listed as 180 days. However, upon selecting > Storage Details, each cookie is displayed in further detail. In this detailed section, there are additional cookies with duration as high as 1825 days, not 180... So which is it? Currently, I'm (obviously) assuming the worst, as in, it being 1825 and not 180 days. There are additional cookies on this list, see spoiler below, that have cookies with the duration of 180 days. Why are the cookies with the highest duration listed on the first page? And if the answer is that "it would look worse", then they also have cookies with lower amount of days than 180 that could have been used. There are multiple cookies with different durations, do all of them count?

If needed here is a spolier that includes all the cookies in detail from the Exactag GmbH vendor.

Let me know if any additional information is needed.

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/8966140 Zoraxy describes itself as:

"General purpose request (reverse) proxy and forwarding tool for networking noobs. Now written in Go!".

Yet it seems to be packed with goodies and features, such as Geo-IP & Blacklist, ZeroTier controller integrated GAN, IP Scanner, Real Time Stats and even built in Uptime monitor. Addtionally, it can run via a single binary for those who don't want to rely on Docker. There is also an Unraid Template available from IBRACORP. Lastly the project is under the AGPL license 🌻

I also checked, and saw this was recommended on this community 9months ago, but didn't seem to get much attraction then. Has anyone tried this yet? It seems like a good alternative to say NGINX proxy manager and am wondering if I should switch, but wanted to hear thoughts first!

Zoraxy's Github list the following features:

Features

• Simple to use interface with detail in-system instructions
• Reverse Proxy (HTTP/2)
  • Virtual Directory
  • WebSocket Proxy (automatic, no set-up needed)
  • Basic Auth
  • Alias Hostnames
  • Custom Headers
• Redirection Rules
• TLS / SSL setup and deploy
  • ACME features like auto-renew to serve your sites in https
  • SNI support (one certificate contains multiple host names)
• Blacklist / Whitelist by country or IP address (single IP, CIDR or wildcard for beginners)
• Global Area Network Controller Web UI (ZeroTier not included)
• TCP Tunneling / Proxy
• Integrated Up-time Monitor
• Web-SSH Terminal
• Utilities
  • CIDR IP converters
  • mDNS Scanner
  • IP Scanner
• Others
  • Basic single-admin management mode
  • External permission management system for easy system integration
  • SMTP config for password reset

Hiya, just quickly wondering if anyone know about a good tool for comparing Privacy policies against each other? Im currently downloading each PP, then using self-hosted StirlingPDF to compare 1 on 1. However, I am looking for a more efficient tool, to compare multiple at the time, if there are any. Any tool that can handle multiple PDFs or HTML files and look at the differences between them kinda tool.

Appreciate any suggestions! 🕵️

Hiya, so quickly wondering wether you have enabled this or not. Obviously it's not great for privacy, but it also seems very nice to have for image cloud solutions, so that images can be sorted based on location. Are there any good solutions for this? I'd like have it enabled, but also afraid of sharing images with sensitive metadata in them.

Edit: As I am in a rush to get this fixed I ended up doing a fresh install of Tumbleweed.

No idea, why this has happened. Just rebooted the computer after not having used it for a week or so and not all of a sudden not able to use the terminal at all. How do I go about troubleshooting this? Other terminals I've downloaded seem to be fine.

Any help appreciated.

edit: please see comments for more informed insights.

I am currently investigating and reverse engineering free VPNs for a master thesis, and just came across something I thought I'd share. VPN in this case is 1clickvpn.net, not .com!

I'm sharing this as a warning as to never use free vpns! They are most often the opposite of what they promise to be. (by free I do not mean the free versions of premium services). But either way; be careful about your VPN choice, as they have access to a lot of sensitive data. I'm sure most peeps here know of this already, but next time you hear someone using a free vpn, let them know...

This first image/code was sitting inside a file called NetworkModule, with some hella weird external links.

1. addrDOTcx, seems to have been linked to malware? Comes up flagged as malicious a few times on VirusTotal.
2. freevpnDOTzone, seems to be another free possible malicious VPN service, might investigate this one later.
3. bigbrolookDOTcom, seems to longer be a registered domain. But wtf? Was this VPN service linked to p*rn??
   IMAGE HERE; Don't visit these links unless you know what you're doing.

   

Furthermore, there is this interesting find; Now I am no expert coder, frankly quite the amateur. But does the below code really mean what I think it does? ~~Seems like it could be creating a fake connection?~~. This is more-less normal behaviour it seems, considering it is a local address it is probably used for testing purposes or making the app not crash if a connection cant be established. Is used once here;

Stay safe 🌻

Recently stumbled upon this note-taking app called SiYuan, but it honestly looks a bit too good to be true(?). Has anyone here used it or got any experience with it? Trying to replace Obsidian is a difficult task, and I've been through almost all note-taking apps there are out there, however this one looks fairly similar.
