nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka thank you for recommending Qubes OS. SO cool!
Discussion
my pleasure. how are you going with it?
Only been playing with it for a few hours but I love the security/privacy implications. And how I can route most of the qubes through whonix, and create a qube for apps that don’t want work with tor so route it through normal networking. I also love that I can spin up a qube to just test out some shit and then wipe it when I’m done. My next project is to install start9 onto a qube and play around with it.
awesome 🔥 when you're ready check out running multiple sys-vpn cubes + the naked sys-net qube 😉
sys-vpn-usa
sys-vpn-ch
etc.
Ooooo… that’s interesting. Do you have some links to useful docs on that?
super easy. for example, with proton vpn gui app. install proton vpn app in a 'sys-vpn' template, create sys-vpn-us, sys-vpn-ch, etc qubes based on the template, net qube "sys-firewall", tick "start qube automatically on boot, tick the "provides network" box in settings, add network-manager in services add devices, save. set proton-vpn to start on boot, put the links in a launcher on the top pannel for convenience. it's good stuff
oof the typos. hopefully you got something out of that
Maybe a little over my head but I’ll hack at it. Thanks!!
all good. what vpn do you use?
I have Nord now, but looking at options.
cool cool. take your time, but yeah, it's a huge feature and lmk if you need help setting it up. just remember, app-vms inherit their apps from templates. take advantage of making multiple templates...some you will use only for one app-vm. this keeps your attack surface small and your qubes lean and fast 🤙🏻
Thank you!! You’re so kind. I’ll hit you up.
Also had some issues with EFI but figured out how to put the efi files in the right BOOT directory. But also I think I can tell the BIOS to look in the proper directory for the files.
Having trouble zapping you. I’ll try again, but have you been getting zaps lately?
i got it (and duplicate). nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 tells me other wallets need to update their gui to notify senders. sending back the overage now ty 🤙🏻
Yup, it finally went through. Both of them. Thanks!! Appreciate you!! 🫂
tldr: QubesOS has a steep learning curve, but onces you're past that... 🤌
You've converted me nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka , Qubes is so damn awesome! TY 🫶 🫂
Took me 5 hours learning to install and persist data in the VMs😆. But once it clicks, its pretty decent to navigate and moving through the system gets more seamless as time goes on.
Adding onto my tasks - explore the WM support, l really like keyboard navigation :)
