How can I block internet access to a VLAN using an EdgeRouter X 5?
29 April 2025 @ 8:24 pm
My laptop is on the LAN 10.0.100.0/24 (VLAN 100) and my printer (HP MFP M140w) is on the LAN 10.0.200.0/24 (VLAN 200).
I want to make sure the printer doesn't connect through the Internet. Therefore I have created the following firewall rule on my EdgeRouter x 5:
set firewall name 200_OUT default-action drop
set firewall name 200_OUT rule 10 action accept
set firewall name 200_OUT rule 10 description 'Allow printer to LAN'
set firewall name 200_OUT rule 10 source address 10.0.200.11 (My printer)
set firewall name 200_OUT rule 10 destination address 10.0.100.0/24
I tried to print a document with my printer but it doesn't work. As soon as I removed the rule above it prints just fine.
I also have an 100_IN rule which allows communication from 10.0.200.0/24
How can I make it work yet restricting Internet access?
Running rsync in Windows using MSYS2 source/dest path formats
29 April 2025 @ 7:57 pm
I run rsync under Windows using MSYS2 library. I convert Windows source/dest paths to Linux format acceptable by rsync though. Example a path starting with "C:\src\..." to "/c/src/.."
Example command:
C:\Users\user1>C:\msys64\usr\bin\rsync.exe -avih ^
--link-dest="c:/Users/user1/godotback/tps-demo" ^
"/c/Users/user1/godot/tps-demo/" "/c/Users/user1/godotback/tps-demo/"
rsync treats c: as if it's a remote host, but notice this only needs to be done for source and destination paths. The named parameter, --link-dest is unaffected.
My question is there another way to define the paths so I don't have to convert them to Linux style.
How to do special characters without AltGr in Fedora Linux?
29 April 2025 @ 7:12 pm
I recently bought a keyboard that doesnβt have a right Alt key, which I used extensively to type accented characters and other symbols.
In Windows, Ctrl+Alt provides the same functionality; is there a way to achieve this in Linux?
Iβm currently using Fedora with Gnome and the βEnglish (intl., with AltGr dead keys)β layout.
How to connect a guest network to a host network in VirtualBox 7.0?
29 April 2025 @ 6:48 pm
I want my host to be able to connect to the Internet for web pages, etc, and I want to be able to connect to a (PHP: php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t /route/to/html ) development web server on the guest from any device connecting via the same router -- eg the host computer, my mobile phone, my tablet, ...
On my old system β Ubuntu 18.04 host, Lubuntu 18.04 guest, and VirtualBox 4.? β networking was easy: just have one VirtualBox network adapter set to bridged and everything worked. Indeed, some of the answers (with several upvotes) to this general problem say to do exactly that.
Now with VirtualBox 7.0, Ubuntu 24.04 host, Lubuntu 24.04 guest. Plus new router, so it might be a setting in there, but where to look and what to set? I'm using hostname -I or ifconfig to discover IP addresses.
Router is 192.168.1.1, host is 192.168.1.189.

Recommendation for a weird/big multi-monitor kvm?
29 April 2025 @ 6:45 pm
I'm looking for something that probably doesn't exist. I want to replace my desktop with my laptops. I've got 6 screens, I'd love to have some sort of adapter to take thunderbolt port(s) to drive those screens. I saw some 1 thunderbolt to 3 monitor adapters, but would love a 6 banger instead.. and then there's the kvm issue. Laptops are linux & mac.
How do I export an image to clipboard from gimp
29 April 2025 @ 6:06 pm
I've recently taken to creating imges and sharing them. It's quite fun to be able to put things straight on the clipboard and share them rather than having to mess with files. Some tools like, Spectacle have features for this and I've hacked up my own using ffmpeg -f x11grab when they don't exist xclip -i -t image/png. Now I'm dabbling with a little image editing with gimp.
What I would ideally like to do would me to export an image directly from gimp to the clipboard - but I could work out a way to do this. I would just take a screenshot but there is a dashed line around the image.
Copying layers with C-c seems to work so one work around is to flatten copy the layers and undo. Also there is gimp-console, so I could probably do anything I want with that - but it feels a bit like using powertools to hang a poster.
Is there Project Version Convention should/must be complied? (not Engine Version)
29 April 2025 @ 6:04 pm
I've just been new to Unity, and migrated to Unreal, and now backed to Unity again.
it's a baybe VERY trivial and geek thing, but I'm seriously considering what version format'd be used for Unity Project Version, not Engine Version
In Project Settings, there's a Version field. of course all'd recommand Semantic Versioning, anyways we can enter any format of version in the field, like 1q2w3e4r!, apple banana cupcake, etc... Yes it's obviosly not standard but I want to use string codename as version format
What I;m worrying about's: Q1. Are those weird version formats're actually allowed/legal? (would there be any problem when build time?) I googled a lot but there's no official documents from Unity, and about Engine Version only.
Q2. I'm using Version Controls, Git and Unity. Will Those 2 managers recognize those weird versions correctly? if so, by alphabetical? or Modified Date?

Configure OS/browser to open certain file extensions with default browser in a specifc website's file input
29 April 2025 @ 5:40 pm
I work fixing a lot of old computers and despite they usually not being able to run modern programs/apps, they still handle to open most websites. A lot of their users, after migrating from local software to online editors, ask me if there's a way to configure their system "open with" to always load the file on some web service (like google docs, photopea, canva, autocad web app, etc.)
I've tried searching for a solution but only found hacks or local server instructions (the search is extra hard because of the commons search terms).
I've tried making some shell scripts and bat files but it all felt hacky. Some things kinda worked but only in very specifc cases that couldn't be widely replicated.
I imagine that there's a solution for this in linux already, but I could not find it. I would like to know if there's a cross platform solution and if there's not, what's the best way to create a good solution for this problem. Should I make a browser extension, edit
How to convert numbers from an Excel time format where seconds digits are given as single digits when the value is less than 10?
29 April 2025 @ 5:30 pm
I am getting data in the form of CSV files, but the seconds digits are annoyingly given as single digits when the value is less than 10.
This is causing Excel not to recognize the format and process it as a time. Right now it is simply text.
Does anyone know a formula to convert this to "00" format, or a way to help Excel read it in as-is as a date?
