Running X11 Apps When Using sudo

2022-06-182022-06-15 by Scott Garrett

So you have your nice shiny linux box, and you are properly not allowing remote root logins, but you still need to be able to run X11 apps as root through ssh. But when you do, you get the dreaded error like: Gtk-WARNING **: 19:41:13.383: cannot open display: localhost:10.0 Well that is a pain. This … Read more

Getting Daphne Games Working On EmuDeck On Your Steam Deck

2022-06-052022-06-05 by Scott Garrett

Someone has already made a nice wrapper that installs Emulation Station on the Steam Deck called EmuDeck. This provides a very nice interface for emulating older game systems. It is highly reliant on the RetroArch system, but takes a lot of the pain out of setting it up. One thing that is missing from RetroArch, … Read more

Protecting Your Steam Deck With An AirTag

2022-05-27 by Scott Garrett

So you have your shiny new Steam Deck. Wouldn’t it be nice to protect it and be able to find it if it were lost or stolen? Well, with an Apple AirTag, and the willingness to crack open your shiny new toy, you can! It would be simple enough to attach the AirTag to the … Read more

Baud Rate Simulator

2022-05-04 by Scott Garrett

Sometimes you need things in life to slow down. Modern terminal emulators are great tools, and they can render text very quickly. This is usually the desired effect. But there are times when you need things to come at you a little slower. I have some old vt100/ansi animations that essentially do nothing when they … Read more

Running Intel Windows 10 on an M1 Mac

2022-05-03 by Scott Garrett

Yes, it is, in fact possible (and in fact, it’s free, too). No, you will not be playing games on it. To get it to work, you will be emulating x86-64 instructions, rather than pure virtualization, which means it will be noticeably slower than running on an Intel based Mac. To get it working, I … Read more

Enabling the Ability to See Private Log Entries in MacOS Logs

2022-03-10 by Scott Garrett

For some dumb reason, Apple has decided that an admin cannot see useful information in the logs of the Mac. I’m sure there is some security justification they have, but when security becomes such that usability is not there, then it serves no purpose. There is no simple way to enable viewing of the private … Read more

SSH Bypassing MFA/Authentication on Subsequent Connections

2022-03-09 by Scott Garrett

Having MFA on a server is a good thing. But it can be a real PITA when you are required to pull out your phone for every single connection to the server, especially if you are performing some kind of automated task. Fortunately, ssh provides a mechanism to allow you to use the proper authentication … Read more

Setting up OATH 2FA Authentication on Linux

2022-03-072022-03-02 by Scott Garrett

It seems like everywhere you log in these days wants you to use some kind of 2 factor (multi-factor) authentication. The most common one you will have likely seen is the OATH time based code generation where you use an authenticator app to generate codes that cycle every 30 seconds. Well, it turns out you … Read more

How to Get the Windows Key From Your Windows Machine

2022-02-27 by Scott Garrett

Sometimes you might need your key for Windows, like when you want to to a bare metal rebuild. There isn’t (that I could find) a way to get it from the GUI, but there is a command you can run from the command prompt (don’t forget to run the command prompt as Administrator) that will … Read more

Adding/Changing the password of an ssh key

2022-02-27 by Scott Garrett

If you are a Mac user, and decide to use the OS keychain to unlock your ssh keys, you might want to go back to existing keys you have, and add a password to them. This can be accomplished easily enough with the same ssh-keygen command you use to generate new keys. The command has … Read more
