Nope, leaving off the initial env call, in this corrected case, gives a 203/EXEC error.
It would have been easy if I could just call the binary, but alas. Dunno why, but there it is.
ETA: this is on Bazzite, so maybe systemctl behaves slightly differently...?
Omg, adding /usr/bin/env worked. Launched the daemon, and the client is able to launch and connect a WireGuard tunnel.
systemctl show-environment lists /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin on the PATH, so maybe that's why that worked...? (I'm going to have to go read up on env).
Either way, I did a reboot to verify, and it's definitely running. Now I just need to tweak it a bit so it tries to reconnect if the network drops out, but holy shit, I appreciate the help.
Tried that, back to 203/Exec error. It's like ExecStart wants me to specify a program to launch it, and bash clearly isn't it.
Yep, more specifically I tried sudo systemctl enable --now daemon.service. Gives the same error, and maybe that's because it's some kind of binary.
sudo /bin/bash /path/to/daemon throws the same error, but sudo /path/to/daemon does not. However, if I drop , /bin/bash from the service file, it throws a 203 error instead.
Foiled by autocorrect! There's no space in the original file, and I've edited my post to reflect that.
Thanks, I verified that it's in the correct place. Still throwing a 126 (see the modifications in the edit).
I added the relevant user and group, and it's still throwing a 126. I checked the daemon itself, and it looks like it's a pre-compiled binary. Manually running /bin/bash /path/to/daemon gives the same error, but sudo /path/to/daemon starts the daemon.
It's an autocorrect typo. It's actually WantedBy in the file.
The service is in that folder, but it's not automatically assuming to run as root. Maybe it's an SELinux thing, since this is on Bazzite...?
Either way, I tried adding
[Service]
User=root
Group=root
ExecStart=...
And it's still throwing that 126. It's definitely executable, but maybe it's not a bash script, though I dunno what else you'd use to run it. To manually start it, you just type sudo /path/to/daemon (no file extension).
Edit: definitely not a bash script. Kate can't read it. It looks like it's some kind of pre-compiled binary.

Edit: Typo, and added the relevant user and group to the Service section. Still throwing a 126.
Solution: the system wanted /usr/bin/env in ExecStart to launch the binary. The .service file above has been edited to show the working solution.
[Solved] How can I make a custom .service run as root?
I have a VPN daemon that needs to run before the client will work. Normally, this would have been set up automatically by its install script, but the system is immutable.
I've created the systemd service via sysyemctl edit --force --full daemon.service with the following parameters:
``` [Unit] Description=Blah After=network-online.target
[Service] User=root Group=root ExecStart=/usr/bin/env /path/to/daemon
[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ```
I've verified that the daemon is actually executable, and it runs fine when I manually call it via sudo daemon. When I try to run it with sudo systemctl enable --now daemon.service, it exits with error code 126.
What am I missing?
Edit: typo
Edit 2: Added script modifications. Daemon appears to be some kind of pre-compiled binary.
Solution: ExecStart wanted /usr/bin/env to launch the binary. The service file above has been edited to reflect the correct solution. See this post for further discussion.
Sorry I didn't get back sooner, but I made some progress.
What do you mean with "work in progress"?
Their words (second video, I think), and more in reference to how they are still working out how they haven't yet covered all of the use cases (like maybe my needs can't currently be met by rpm-ostree or bootc). rpm-ostree has functional limitations, and bootc is still being developed. Obviously, both are still useable and useful, and Universal Blue has been using them for quite a while. I may have been reading too much into it with the "depreciation" comment.
So, did you try the following methods when installing the
.runfile? If so, how did it go?
It can't work on its own. Running with sh or making it executable runs the script, but it fails when it tries to write its icon and .desktop entry to /usr (it also doesn't take an --appimage-extract argument). You can use sudo rpm-ostree usroverlay to create a temporary FS overlay for /usr, but it's wiped on the next boot. Still, that allowed the installation to complete.
I discovered that it's installing all of the necessary components to /opt, and they remain functional. I was able to manually run the daemon script required and get a WireGuard tunnel established in the client.
Now, I'm trying to get a .service module to work so it can run automatically as root on a reboot with systemd. So far, it's giving me a 126 exit code, so I still haven't figured out how to escalate its privileges automatically, but this is the most progress I've made to date.
Correct, and if you just type ujust, you'll get a list of all the "recipes" you can apply with that command (that's what they're called).
Alternatively, OP can contact the maintainers and see if they can add the necessary recipe. They're really nice and responsive—even offered to add a semi-common print driver to the image for another user.
But wait. One update failed. Why? Ah, the rescue partition is too small.... THE ONE THAT DUMB SON-OF-BITCH CREATED ON ITS OWN AS PART OF THE INSTALL!
Shit, I forgot about this bug! Such a weird design choice to make the installer fuck up its own partitions.
I feel like it's more common in indie games to get post-launch improvements like FSR. Still, seems like it's becoming more common, especially in games that are graphically intensive.
You said it's off-brand, and I have to wonder what kind of Bluetooth radio they used. Do you know what Bluetooth version it has?
I don't like the fact that even if you have a Pro or Enterprise license, some amount of telemetry is still being sent to MS for any number of nebulous reasons.
At least with bigger names like Fedora et al, they give you the option up front to opt-in, and you can have a reasonable amount of trust that they won't do it in secret.
The Microsoft support forums are pitifully hilarious, too.
"Hi, I need help with N. I've tried X, Y, and, Z."
"Hello, sorry to hear that you're having trouble with N. Have you tried X, Y, or Z?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry to hear that it's still not working. Please refer to this thread, and feel free to contact Microsoft Support with any future questions. Have a nice day."
"But my problem still isn't solved. Hello?"
That's especially bad, because the default behavior, iirc, is to have Multi-Device turned on, which means anyone can potentially add their device to your account and access your TOTP.
And I don't expect most users to know how or to remember to turn it off.
Am I overthinking it?
I'm working on my transition plan away from Windows and testing out various things in VMs as I do so, and one big hurdle is making sure the VPN client my work requires can connect. Bazzite is my target distro (primarily gaming, work less frequently), though other more traditionally structured ones like Pop!_OS and Garuda are possibilities.
I'm currently trying and failing to get the VPN client working in a distrobox (throws an error during connection saying PPP isn't installed or supported by the kernel). However, I can successfully get the VPN connected if I overlay the client and its dependencies via rpm-ostree install, but I read somewhere that Bazzite's philosophy is to use rpm-ostree as sparingly as possible for installing software to preserve as much containerization as possible.
Since I can get it working outside of a container, am I overthinking it? Should I just accept that this might be one of the "sparing" cases? Is Bazzite perhaps a poor fit for my use case? I've been trying to make sense of this guide, but I'm having trouble understanding how to apply it to my situation, since I'm not that familiar with Docker or Podman.
What are some preparations you think people should know about in advance of migrating to Linux?
For example, I saw a post the other day detailing how to set up a Brother laser printer on Kinoite. That's not something I would have initially considered a potential problem to be solved. Another I ran into some years ago had to do with an Edimax WiFi dongle that used some weirdly specific Realtek 8812 radio, for which you had to set up the driver via dkms. A little prep and knowledge in advance would have saved days of searching online.
I've started a personal to-do list of things to research and make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I make the full-time switch on my main desktop, so besides the usual "back up your files" advice, I'm hoping y'all can point out some QoL things I and others may often miss!
Ep 936: Do TPUSA attendees believe they're fighting demons?
As an ex-fundigelical, I think the boys get it wrong here. Perhaps the people at the top are cynical with regard to the existence of demons, but I guarantee there's a concerning number of people in the crowd who think demons are real, and they genuinely think they're fighting a holy war against them by opposing people that include "liberals and 'unhuman' communists." I used to think demons were actually real, and average people often had demons inside them, like sleeper agents waiting to be activated.
I agree that the "demonic" rhetoric is a convenient tool to justify political violence, but many of them aren't using demons as an excuse to do something they already want to do; they're doing it because they genuinely think they're saving humanity from Satan to usher in some kind of idealized 1950s utopia only for white, affluent Christians.
In their mind, they are sincerely at war with their fellow Americans, but there's a convenient, dehumanizing layer of "demons" to make them feel better about any acts of violence or stripping of rights.
Hello, spectre of Nazism.
Why openSUSE?
First, let me be clear up front that I'm not promoting the idea that there should be one "universal" Linux distro. With all the various distros out there for consumers, there's lots of discussion about Arch, Debian, and Fedora (and their various descendant projects), but I rarely see much talk about openSUSE.
Why might somebody choose that one over the others? What features or vision distinguishes it from the others?
Edit: I love all the answers! Great stuff. Thanks to everyone!
Where is all the water going from climate change?
Now that late spring/early summer is upon us, there's increasingly more headlines about less rain in various places (recent floods notwithstanding). I'm assuming that's because water is evaporating and not returning to those places, but where is it going?
Is it arriving, now, in these bursty flash floods? Is it staying longer in the atmosphere and moving to new locations? Is more of it just staying in the atmosphere period?

Watched the Eclipse. World did not end as promised.

Thanks to the admins for not enabling downvoting
Far too often, lately, I see lots of people worried about the number of downvotes, or making preliminary justifications and requests to not downvote particular posts.
Me? I don't have to think about any of that. The content of the posts and comments determines their quality, not some artificial number that only represents whether people dis/like something.
Edit: Wow, a lot of people from other instances seem really offended that I don't like downvoting and seem a bit confused that I'd be thanking my admins for something I appreciate.
If you like downvoting, you don't have to move here. Enjoy your instance's features. Welcome to the Fediverse.
Can you believe it? Proton, the compatibility layer that allows Windows games to run on Steam Deck / Linux PCs didn't actually have a proper logo for over 5 years.
Tecno Pocket Go is like a Steamdeck that replaces a screen with a wearable display
The Pocket Go is Tecno's first handheld gaming device. Surprisingly, the Tecno Pocket Go does not look like a conventional gaming handheld at all, although it may prove to be more powerful than the likes of the Steam Deck and the ASUS ROG Ally, among others.

Mechanism to report entire communities?
Hey Reddthat mods,
Is there a mechanism to report entire communities? I found one that appears to be
trigger warning
pro-pedophilia
but it's the lone mod doing the posting, so sending a report will likely be ignored.
It's a community on this instance.
Relevant post.

[Mycology] Are yeasts analogous to each other, to the point they can be used in food interchangeably?
Amouranth, the Kick streamer, is allegedly brewing beer with her vaginal yeast. It's an obvious publicity stunt to squeeze more money from her impressionable and "thirsty" audience.
Gross-factor aside, is this even possible? Is it analogous to brewer's yeast? Would this cause undesirable side effects or introduce undesirable compounds?

Can sufficiently energetic EM waves of a specific frequency affect weaker EM waves of a different frequency?
My initial thought is "no," since our eyes, being receivers for specific wavelengths of EM radiation, can't see frequencies like infrared, no matter how bright. Likewise, my cell phone's WiFi and cell modules don't conflict with each other (as far as this layperson can tell, anyway).
But if, for example, infrared were sufficiently bright/energetic, could it affect neighboring frequencies, like reds?
