How to use this gist

You've got two main options:

1. Go to OpenWRT release page, select the latest release stable release, then targets -> x86 -> 64. Right-click generic-ext4-combined.img.gz (not the "efi"!) and copy the link.

2. On the Proxmox host, download the archive and unpack it:

wget *paste link here*
gunzip openwrt-*.img.gz

3. Resize the image to be the size you want your VM's disk to be (example with 8 GiB):

In most cases, the sudo command displays the error unable to initialize PAM: No such file or directory mostly appears when the pluggable authentication module file /etc/pam.d/sudo has been edited with a typo or an incorrect PAM module.

Via Single-User-Mode > Terminal

If you have an older Mac, you can boot into single-user mode, which allows you to access the command line mode of macOS directly, bypassing the UI.

• Press and hold down the COMMAND + S keys until you see commands being executed in the Terminal.

• Open the sudo file with vi /Volumes/Macintosh\ - Data/etc/pam.d/, fix what's wrong, save and close the file by switching from INSERT to the COMMAND mode with the ESC key, type :wq!, and hit enter.

Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice

I bought M1 MacBook Air. It is the fastest computer I have, and I have been a GNOME/GNU/Linux user for long time. It is obvious conclusion that I need practical Linux desktop environment on Apple Silicon.

Fortunately, Linux already works on Apple Silicon/M1. But how practical is it?

• Two native ports exist.

#!/bin/bash

AUTH_NAME="auth2kube"
NEW_KUBECONFIG="newkubeconfig"

echo "create a certificate request for system:admin user"
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -keyout $AUTH_NAME.key -out $AUTH_NAME.csr -subj "/CN=system:admin"

echo "create signing request resource definition"

Use pre-built gccemacs

Fortunatly we could use pre-built gccemacs right now.

Those two repos did the greate job for us.

https://github.com/twlz0ne/nix-gccemacs-darwin

https://github.com/twlz0ne/nix-gccemacs-sierra

Here is the tutorial:

influx6

# high sierra
sudo launchctl stop com.openssh.sshd
sudo launchctl start com.openssh.sshd


# latest
sudo vim /etc/services # (update the port config for ssh and save)
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist

# Put this function to your .bashrc file.
# Usage: mv oldfilename
# If you call mv without the second parameter it will prompt you to edit the filename on command line.
# Original mv is called when it's called with more than one argument.
# It's useful when you want to change just a few letters in a long name.
#
# Also see:
# - imv from renameutils
# - Ctrl-W Ctrl-Y Ctrl-Y (cut last word, paste, paste)
