If you are reading this, you probably asked for a (unaffiliated) cloak on freenode because you wanted to hide your IP or hostname.

This text is here to tell you that cloaks and vHosts don't hide your IP very well. Cloaks on freenode show your (lack of) affiliation with a project or a group being hosted on freenode.

Docker compose as a systemd unit

Create file /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]. SystemD calling binaries using an absolute path. In my case is prefixed by /usr/local/bin, you should use paths specific for your environment.

I've used this guide through 2024 despite archinstall and it's still more or less valid. After having used archinstall twice and having encountered obscure issues (luksOpen taking ages, or slow reboots in general) I switched back to a manual setup and it seems to be almost as straightforward.

Always refer to the official guide in case of doubt.

First things first

One important thing first: the environment you will encounter on the live image is very different from what you'll end up installing, some things are significantly easier there: e.g. wifi tools come

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	'''
	Uses SURF to match two images.

	Based on the sample code from opencv:
	samples/python2/find_obj.py

	USAGE
	find_obj.py <image1> <image2>

	var request = require('request');
	var unzip = require('unzip');
	var csv2 = require('csv2');

	request.get('http://s3.amazonaws.com/alexa-static/top-1m.csv.zip')
	.pipe(unzip.Parse())
	.on('entry', function (entry) {
	entry.pipe(csv2()).on('data', console.log);
	})
	;
