Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  1. Gimp to batch edit pictures in a script (I know about ImageMagick but still)
  2. Excel to change stuff in excel files quickly (I know about python modules but it's so complicated to use)
  3. Proprietary VPN software like Cisco AnyConnect, I want to automate the login when I boot, but they don't let me

Just from the top of my head.

It seems to exist: https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/

There are many things you can do in the GIMP gui that can't be done programmatically :(

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 2 points 9 months ago

This is one reason I love FreeCAD. Everything done in the GUI is just a python call

For anyconnect: openconnect works perfectly, either as standalone script or via networkmangler.

Check out openconnect to connect to anyconnect VPNs

I did, doesn't work with our company setup with 2FA.

[–] ik5pvx@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What kind of prompt does your company 2FA provide? Using openconnect with networkmangler, I get a pop up to input my pin+totp. I haven't done the script way in the last few years, but the connection script is plain shell and I was able to handle the 2FA from there too

It's some time ago I dug deeper on what was happening, but openconnect was getting a different response from the server than it expected and it just failed because of that.
