Nice and early. I have a problem with a git clone command:

I set up a small git server on a raspberry pi and want to automate git setups for a Game Jam project.

Problem:
git clone @:/path/to/git/repo.git works, but prompts for the user password, obviously.
I don't want to deal with SSH keys, because it's all local and really basic.
I read that you can specify the password in plain test like:
git clone :@:/path/to/git/repo.git

But everytime I get the error:
ssh: could not resolve hostname : Name or service not known
Why the fuck does git think the username is a hostname? The syntax is found everywhere on the internet. The password does not contain special characters. Tried the git that came with Git Bash in Windows and Debian. What do?

Im using (K)ubuntu 21.10 or w/e
How the fuck do I make it so there arent shitty little leftover programs resuming everytime I boot?
Like last install the fucking system thing would open everytime
Now its like 2 copies of terminal on start up I have to close each time I boot
what thefuck

I was given Lenovo Yoga L380 with a locked BIOS (supervisor password).

Can I safely wipe the disk and install a Linux on it? I can choose temporary startup device but can't change boot order in BIOS.

I am afraid I will end with laptop that refuses to boot to OS because of changed configuration.

>deal with SSH keys
You just do:
ssh-copy-id user@host

Enter password and program does the rest for you. You can log in to your raspi without a password for eternity.
If you decide to change it back, just edit ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and remove the line with your username.
Simple as that, and more secure. I have password disabled on my raspi and login only with the key.

SSH is worldwide best practice. Basic key configs won't take long
But if you insist on auth-less unprotected access try native git protocol (git://server:/path...). Might need additional config on the server
git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols

Is there a startup program editor package? You could apt install it and edit startup entries.
>resuming
Are they just new terminal windows or with a previous session inside?

I'm not really into that topic, but when installing new system it adds new boot entry. If it succeeds there's a chance "Windows Boot Manager" (even after uninstalling winblows) will get stuck at the top of priority and boot black screen.
Or maybe you could then boot grub from usb and then select partition.
Those are just my quick thoughts, it would be the best if you got the password.

ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found

I do not have any SSH keys on any of the machines and don't want to!
That was the point of the question.

It's all just local and I don't want any SSH keys involved, just plain passwords.
How do I clone the repo by specifying a password without any keys?

Oh and I forgot, if you want to just save the git password:
git config --global credential.helper store

will store all passwords in a plain text file in ~/.git-credentials

stackoverflow.com/questions/35942754/how-can-i-save-username-and-password-in-git

Btw why do you not want any keys involved? Just use `ssh-keygen` and it generates them for you. I use them to log into my pc from phone.

Also, see this, and second solution:
serverfault.com/questions/815043/how-to-give-username-password-to-git-clone-in-a-script-but-not-store-credential

How often does asking schools and businesses/offices for their old computers and hardware actually work? By this I mean how often do they actually say yes, and how often is it worth it? They don't even have to give it to you for free, they could sell it. Also, how do you even know which businesses/offices to ask? I'm sure schools always have stuff they need to get rid off, but I doubt the frequency with which offices need to get rid of stuff is often.

I want to have multiple VPS with nginx on them that then forward traffic to my home ip. I want my home computer to handle SSL (this is important)
I don't want my home ip shown to outside internet except the VPS I set up

home server will run nginx
how do I get this to work?

Is there any software that can replace opening/editing files, monitoring/controlling systemd services etc from the command line on a remote linux server? something like winscp but with system info for services and many other tools

Well, I decided to setup an http server on the pi, because it seems only http allows for username and password to be specified.

Problem is, the git documentation is kinda shotty:
git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Smart-HTTP

What files do they want you to modify?? Is it the apache2 sites-available/000-default file?
They literally just don't say..

I guess this is what I'm supposed to do
amitnepal.com/nginx-ssl-passthrough-reverse-proxy/

anyone have any better solutions before I spend hours fiddling around and setting this up?

I have a cell containing telephone numbers in LibreOffice Calc. I want to group the digits and have space between the groups. How do I do this? I searched the internet and there's nothing to be found, which is kind of weird.

I have:
>0123456789
I want:
>0123 456 789

Check out the On Login section

That's the solution, what exactly do you think could be better?

Webmin comes close, but it runs on the controlled machube and can be accessed with a browser.
An actual program for remote management is not possible on Linux for reasons of extreme retardation in the community. Same goes for settings storage, the tards still believe that plain text files are appropriate for configuring programs and systems.

>it seems only http allows for username and password
Are you retarded? A few working solutions have been given to you already.

Does this not work for you?

I know you can trace a location via IP. But can you get an IP if you know the exact location? If yes, how? Search engines canĀ“t coprehend the question seemingly and flip it to "get the location by IP" no matter how i rephrase it.

>That's the solution, what exactly do you think could be better?
yeah, this seems to be the answer. I'll probably follow this guide
fedingo.com/how-to-configure-ssl-tls-passthrough-in-nginx/

what could I do to check if I'm doing it correctly? the worst thing that could happen is if I send the home ip to the client somehow. It would ruin everything

This really looks like you're over complicating things and looks like you should practice better reading and using jewgle. I spoonfed you with a few links that you could easily just manually google.

If you use it on local network only, the best solution would be to just
ssh-keygen
ssh-copy-id user@raspi

If you'd like other user from the web to have access to your repo, create new user on raspi and make it's home dir read only.
Check the fucking links I gave you, faggot.

I just got a new computer, the hell is this constant rattling noise?
The only thing I have open Audacity to record this audio. It sounds a bit different IRL, I had to raise the gain for it to be audible on the sound file, but it is very audible IRL.

>the worst thing that could happen is if I send the home ip to the client somehow
by having any server open to the web, you're giving your IP address. Literally no one could connect if they didn't have the IP.
Go learn how computers work first, your http server idea is just shitty.

I don't trust VPS with client data
I don't want to get DDOSed by clients

The computer fan either hits a bunch of cables with it's blades or has a loose bearing. Open the case and check.

From what I know, companies that own IP ranges provide their information like where the antenna's located or where is the ISP. You could just search on the web who owns a certain ISP, antenna tower or whatever.

Unfortunately not, I don't understand it. I entered it exactly like that, also played around with the number of # to exactly match the length of my phone number, but still no joy.
All it did change was the actual data inside the cell by prepending an apostrophe.
