Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    So what's the best practice to let Firefox run in a virtualized system on Ubuntu?

    [–] keiko@fedia.io 4 points 3 days ago

    For optimized privacy, Whonix should be able to be installed onto pretty much anything. It's a virtual machine pair. The gateway is configured to route all traffic through the tor network. The workstation contains all the applications and doesn't have its own networking, instead routing all network traffic to the gateway.

    If Whonix is too much for you, another option is to configure a dedicated linux distribution in KVM or even Virtualbox. The point is to have a task-oriented virtual machine which is used exclusively for that task. So like, a vm for browsing the web, for instance, or one for using your fediverse account. You'd want to minimize the number of unnecessary packages installed in the vm.

    And if you're at all like me (you're probably not), you might want to configure it in such a way that it's disposable via cloning from a template. So, you would create a vm based on a distro (Debian, for example), and then make sure to install the necessities for the vm's purpose and uninstall unnecessary packages. Then, shutdown the vm. When you want to use the vm, you would create a clone and use that. However, you'd need to manage updates in the template, not the clone.
