I had no meetings this arvo, so I made an appointment with the woods in my extended lunch break. The 6°C warm sun was out all day long and there was only a very light breeze. So, a very nice autumn day.
When I stopped to take a photo in the forest, a deer behind me took off into the woodland. I didnât see it before. Also, I came across one or the other clearing. Sadly, itâs all commercial timberland here. Luckily, in a year or so, when nature slowly took over and reclaimed some spots, the apocalyptic sites are then looking a bit more decent again.
Cleaning of the ruin walls on my backyard mountain slowly takes shape. They made some progress and moved on to the other section. The flag on top is halfway disintegrated again, all the yellow half is completely gone. Iâm wondering if they just stop replacing it at some point in time. But probably not.

setpriv on Linux supports Landlock.
Another example:
$ setpriv \
--landlock-access fs \
--landlock-rule path-beneath:execute,read-file:/bin/ls-static \
--landlock-rule path-beneath:read-dir:/tmp \
/bin/ls-static /tmp/tmp/xorg.atom
The first argument --landlock-access fs says that nothing is allowed.
--landlock-rule path-beneath:execute,read-file:/bin/ls-static says that reading and executing that file is allowed. Itâs a statically linked ls program (not GNU ls).
--landlock-rule path-beneath:read-dir:/tmp says that reading the /tmp directory and everything below it is allowed.
The output of the ls-static program is this line:
ârwârâârââââx 3000 200 07-12 09:19 22'491 â /tmp/tmp/xorg.atom
It was able to read the directory, see the file, do stat() on it and everything, the little x indicates that getting xattrs also worked.
3000 and 200 are user name and group name â they are shown as numeric, because the program does not have access to /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
Adding --landlock-rule path-beneath:read-file:/etc/passwd, for example, allows resolving users and yields this:
ârwârâârââââx cathy 200 07-12 09:19 22'491 â /tmp/tmp/xorg.atom

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You donât need to change the directory first in line 11, you can just create the directory, thatâs sufficient since youâre having an absolute path.
The echo in line 13 is useless, you can simplify this to: newdir="$WD/$now" If you reversed this line with the previous one, you could make use of the variable in the directory creation: mkdir "$newdir".
In line 16, pull the directory change out of the loop upfront. The loop body doesnât modify the working directory, so no need to reset it with each cycle. In fact, you could even spare the cd altogether when you simply tell find where to look: find "$basedir" -type fâŚ.
I didnât try it, but if I read the manpage correctly, you should be able to simplify line 19 as well:
-C Change to DIR before performing any operations. This option is order-sensitive, i.e. it affects all options that follow.
Hence, remove the cd and put the -C "$WD" as the first argument to tar. Again, I didnât try it. Proceed with caution.
Finally, you donât need to specify the full path to rm in line 21. I bet, /bin is in your PATH. When you removed the previous cd from my last suggestion, the relative path that follows wonât work anymore. So, just use the absolute path that you already have in a variable: rm -rf "$newdir"
I hope you find this tiny review a wee bit useful. :-)

A mate and I had an amazing but also exhausting hike to the highest of the Three Emperor Mountains yesterday with perfect weather conditions. Sunny 18°C, blue sky with barly a cloud and a little welcoming breeze, just beautiful.
Mt. Stuifen is 757 meters above sea level, has a small shelter and a barbie area and is still the most boring one of the three. Itâs also the one farthest away from me. Not sure why it has two summit crosses, but both arenât at the summit. The third, makeshift one at the real summit was gone by now. Four years ago, somebody had cobbled one together and put it up.
We bought our tucker at a local bakery on our way. This was the first time I tried a Teufelsbrezel (lit. devilâs pretzel), a lye pretzel with pepper. Havenât come across that anywhere else. But I can certainly recommend that, itâs yummy.
