Okay, I don't really get this, but I think I dismissed your question far too easily, I was executing the script I had saved as http.py with "python3.7 http.py", working within the directory the file is in.

By simply renaming the file to _http.py and executing it under that name it just works as ...

Why python search something in /tmp/.private?

It's not, that's just the script I had saved and was running.

Hi, I'm trying to learn a little python while I have so musch free time at present, I know a little C but don't have much actual experience.

Anyways, I can get the following example code to work just fine from an interactive python prompt; import urllib3

http = urllib3.PoolManager()

I'm using firefox 52.6 with privoxy, and have only just noticed that it can still connect to non-https sites just fine even when "work offline" is enabled.

https sites show the "Offline mode" warning as expected, as I'm only sending http traffic to privoxy, not ssl.

If I change privoxy to listen ...

POSIX shell patterns are not nearly as powerful as regular expressions.
In your case you can come through with negating:
case ${FOO:-x} in
*[!0123456789abcdefABCDEF]*)
echo "FOO not hex";;
esac
The :-x is there to make an undefined or empty string to be not considered as hex. Note that [!0-9a-fA ...

Upon further reading, seems that '+(pattern)' for matching one or more relies on shopt -s extglob, meaning it's bash-specific, or at the very least not posix.

D'oh...

Hi, I'm trying to use a case statement in a shell script to match a hexadecimal string.
case "${FOO}" in
[0-9a-eA-E]* ) echo BAR ;;
esac This pretty much works, but it'll match anything that simply begins with a hex digit.

Supposedly, prefixing a pattern with '+' should make it match "one or more ...

Opera is a binary package, so you can't reasonably expect USE flags to offer much customization with it, the ebuild devs don't have a lot to work with there...

That said, it is possible Opera doesn't need cups to run, you could check run lddtree on it's binaries and see if any link to libraries ...

Thank you both very much for your responses, as it turns out I was looking at this wrong, the actual problem was that the http server was closing the connection after serving a single request, which is why netcat was exiting.

I was just testing with busybox httpd, which doesn't support http keep ...

Uhm, did you disable the openssl USE flag globally?

Yeah, don't do that. :P

You'll get a ton of conflicts just like that if you do, and what I said about disabling those flags having no ill effects was about sudo specifically, other packages would lose some real and potentially important ...

From /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc; app-admin/sudo:gcrypt - Use SHA2 from dev-libs/libgcrypt instead of sudo's internal SHA2.
app-admin/sudo:openssl - Use SHA2 from dev-libs/openssl instead of sudo's internal SHA2. These were only added as options in 1.8.20, you can probably disable both with ...

I'm playing around with http requests from shell, and I have a working script with both bash's networking and by using netcat/socat with named pipes, but , both nc and socat terminate after one http request and response...

From that, net-libs/nodejs obviously needs openssl without bindist, and I'm guessing [bindist=] means both openssh requires openssl to be built with the same flag setting as itself,
so yeah, unset bindist USE flag, then 'emerge --oneshot --newuse openssh', which should re-emerge both ssh and ssl ...

When creating a new luks mapping, you can simply pass the '--header /path/to/luks-header' option to cryptsetup, I hate to 'RTFM' you, but I do suggest reading the cryptsetup manual, pretty much everything you need to know about it is in there.

As for grub, no patching is necessary, you can simply ...

Beware of "security industry" people who try to sell you a cure using FUD and then run away and hide when someone points out it's poison. There have been a number of major kernel exploits in recent years that were completely ineffective against properly configured grsecurity-patched kernels.

I'm not sure any of that is needed, at least with the current gentoo defaults.

You can typically just run (for example) 'startx xterm', and it'll start a new xorg-server instance with xterm being the only client, ie no window manager.

So, replacing xterm with whatever command you would use to ...

I get the same warning upon boot, it's actually coming from /etc/init.d/procfs, however I've seen NO negative effects from not loading the module, I'm pretty damn sure it's not needed for gentoo in general or portage specifically.

Looking at /etc/init.d/procfs, it looks like the kernel adds the ...

I think you need to determine if sound works with something much simpler than mpd or firefox first, aplay will work for wav files, or mplayer/mpv for most audio formats, or whatever else you may already have installed.

Are you using pulseaudio or not?

Not a requirement, but typically variable names in shell scripts are all uppercase. No. Environment variables are typically all uppercase. Shell parameters (aka variables) local to the script are usually kept lower-case. Huh, interesting.
Pretty much every example I've seen has used all uppercase ...

Ok, first off, some shell basic shell scripting guidlines;
Shell scripts don't require semicolon ( ; ) at the end of a line, it's only really needed to separate two commands if they are on the same line, iow you need either a semicolon OR line break between commands.
Not a requirement, but typically ...

Perhaps net-misc/openntpd would be a better alternative for you?

Smaller, supposedly more secure codebase, and includes the following option in the config file; # Addresses to listen on (ntpd does not listen by default)
#listen on *
Meaning by default it does NOT function as a server as well as a ...

If that fails, how about 'mknod -m 600 /tmp/mknod-pipe p', which does the same thing?

You said "typing startx", so the laptop keyboard works just fine on the console, then?

What do you have INPUT_DEVICES set to? ( `emerge -pv xorg-drivers` )

I never tested xorg without suid, but you followed this guide ? Yep.

I had it working on my (now dead) laptop with intel graphics for about 4 years, but I couldn't get it working on my desktop with the radeon at that time, however a good bit of work has gone into xorg-server to make this work ...

I'm trying to get xorg-server to run as user, ie without suid, but it's failing miserably.

This is with xorg-server-1.19.3, libdrm-2.4.76 and a 4.9.18 kernel, open radeon driver on a hd6670 (or something like that).

Not using systemd or any display manager, running startx.
