In my research, I’ve found SoloKeys may be a US company. They are headquartered in New Jersey and one Co-founder is in New York City. However, according to their WhoIs data, the domain was registered in Iceland.

Crazy coincidence that I was just researching hardware keys today. Why go with a hardware key over a free, open source TOTP generator like Aegis?

As the days go by…

After some work, I got virt-manager up and running with kali. Copy and paste works! Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you for the virt-manager recommendation. I’ll look into it.

I did build Kali from their ISO but I’ll give their provided image a try. I do know what Kali is and what it is used for. I’ll be using it for TryHackMe labs.

No VNC viewer. QEMU works like VirtualBox. It’s just a VM running on your computer. When QEMU is ran it opens a graphical display of the VM’s Desktop.

I’d be interested in moving the Kali VM to my home server and RDP into it. I’m familiar with RDP on Windows but I’m not sure how to RDP from Linux (Arch) to Linux (Kali). I suppose something like Remmina would do the job, though I found a lot of input lag with it.

I’ve tried this solution but could not get it to work. Do I need to install Spice on Arch? Do I have to run QEMU with certain parameters?

Is disabling Pictrs as simple as stopping the Docker container?

I’ve been considering this setup. Are you using a VPN to connect the VPS and your home network?

What are ligatures?

I was running Mint on an old Macbook Pro a few months ago. I couldn’t get over the battery drain so I put MacOS back on it. Hopefully the battery drain isn’t a as bad on a newer Asus laptop.

I’m in the same boat myself. Windows is and has been my daily driver since the days of Windows 3.1. Over the past few months, I began a path learning web development and I’ve been using WSL on Windows 11 to learn. I picked up an old laptop and I’m currently installing Debian with KDE Desktop hoping I to find a life raft out of the Windows world for reasons unknown.

Where did you learn so much about Docker? Having a server at home, I’m more inclined to spin up a VM. I would like to learn more about Docker.
