Edit/Solved: Thank you for all the great input! Both on alternative solutions and on security implications. I'm going to make a draft on how I would setup the e-mail method as securely as possible as a programming/scripting exercise, but will IRL probably end up using either some reverse tunnel/shell variant.

Edit 2: or, as a hardware solution, install an extra NIC that I expose to the opennet - thus enabling remote port forwarding - while binding all my sensitive processes/traffic to my encrypted NIC.

I cannot ssh into my Linux box from outside of my LAN since I'm behind a VPN that doesn't support port forwarding. Is it possible to make my Linux box receive, interpret and execute commands through e-mail instead? I've tried looking for answers through DuckDuckGo's search engine, to no avail. If I may dream, I would like to setup an e-mail server with a systemd service or just run a script that continuously downloads the emails, prints their content to stdin and executes, perhap

By this I mean the psensor applet icon (second from the left) being to big.

I was messing arround trying to customize my desktop and i followed a guide on how to install and setup latte-dock (kde). Long story short, i failed removed latte (although I think it may have left some stuff behind) and when I restored my cinnamon panel the icon was like this. I've already restored the system with timeshift but it made no difference and tried to set "symbolic icon size" in panel settings but it completely ignores it. I googled for a solution but cant find any :c

Any ideas?

P.S. If I set panel height too small, all the applet icons go halfway off screen through the bottom, something they didnt used to do.

SOLVED: Using this comand:

gsettings reset-recursively org.cinnamon

Reverts the icons to their normal behaviour. Thanks to potatoguy

So I have two SSDs in my laptop running FedoraKDE, and every time I mount the one used for storage, I have to type the luks password and then my root password. So, looking it up, I found that to not need root to mount the drive I need to add it to fstab.

I added (as was told by the internet since I'm flying by the seat of random stackoverflow help in absence of real knowledge):

 undefined

    
UUID=uuid-string-goes-here   /path/to/directory ext4 defaults 0 0


  

To fstab (and forgot to chown the directory, oops!) and rebooted, aaaaaaand now I get booted into "emergency mode" with root disabled and have no clue what to do.

I think I used the right uuid, it was nvme0p1 (or whatever that drive said the right name was, can't check now!) In any case, I didn't use the uuid of the drive my system was running on, for sure.

Boot hangs on

 undefined

    
job dev-disk-by\x2duuid- [Something something]


  

Edit: Still taking any advice on how to actually not have to use root to mount this drive, though my boot

Edit: Thanks to @save_the_humans@leminal.space for pointing to this guide by @stdevel@chaos.social—I haven't had further freezes since following the steps in it:

It is sufficient to add the boot parameter amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 in the GRUB configuration (/etc/default/grub):

    
...  
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10"  
...  
  
  

Afterwards the GRUB configuration must be updated and the computer must be rebooted:

    
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg  
# reboot  
  

  

Edit: I'm fairly certain @exupulosion@sh.itjust.works got it right when linking it to this unresolved issue.

The title pretty much sums it up. The freezes can happen while I am not doing anything, and while no additional software is running. I don't really know where to start with th

I was just invited to do a job interview through Teams (next week).

I guess it's https://teams.live.com/free ?
And I guess they would invite me so I don't have to worry about having an MS account, afaics?

I opened the site on Ungoogled Chromium, it seems to work fine. The hardware is: Thinkpad T430s (10yo). Of course it has a web cam & microphone.
There's a device test https://devicetest.teams.microsoft.com/ which did not return any issues, but did not show me a working connection either. There is no test call functionality.

I'd prefer to test full functionality beforehand, is there a way to do this?

Or experiences?

TIA

edit: my smartphone runs an even obscurer OS than Debian.

edit2: the "make a test call" functionality seems to be part of the desktop app only. Is there one for Linux?

edit3: now support.microsoft.com is blocking me. WTF

edit4: the inofficial Teams for Linux is not an option either because I still need an MS account.

Hi,

I'm searching for a window decoration theme that only has a frame, no buttons or anything more. Something like what Bismuth had. The one I pulled from AUR works on my Arch system (even though it's not supported for Plasma 6) but I want to install this on my Thinkpad that has Aurora Linux. But since I only want the window decoration part, any theme like this would work for me.

Edit: Thanks to Remus86, I was able to install Bismuth.

Though, because of the nature of immutable, it was tough. I had to use rpm-ostree a lot, which Aurora devs don't recommend to use. I had to install
