Echo can interpret operand as an option and checking every variable to
be echoed is troublesome while with printf, if the format specifier is
present before the operand, printing as string can be enforced.
The feature is more reliable than the whonix-updatevm tag as the tag can
be deleted for other Whonix tags to take effect to target different
gateways, which is the case for the Bitcoin formula.
- libgtk4-1 is not used by Signal and now it declares the libgtk3-0
as a dependency;
- Zenity is not needed as a file manager once Thunar is used;
- ATK is installed for Signal but not for any apps, remove until there
is a shared formula or pillar to install accessibility tools; and
- Ayatana AppIndicator for tray widget. Signal tray widget is buggy,
sometimes quitting doesn't quit and there is no configuration option
to start the tray, only command-line option. Because of these reasons,
not enabling the tray bar was chosen.
As NFTables converts domain names to IPs on the first query, it is not
possible to depend on it to have a stable connection. Implementing a DNS
proxy configuration might still be difficult due to the use of CDNs.
Selecting the output and input device in the AudioVM using a GUI audio
manager such as Pavucontrol or Easyeffects to the connected USB device
is enough to make audio work. USB audio devices should not be connected
to audio clients.
Make shell a little bit safer with:
- add-default-case
- check-extra-masked-returns
- check-set-e-suppressed
- quote-safe-variables
- check-unassigned-uppercase
Although there are some stylistic decisions for uniformity:
- avoid-nullary-conditions
- deprecated-which
- require-variable-braces
Editorconfig can only act based on file extension and path, not
attributes, it remains a mean only for multiple collaborators to use the
same configuration on their editor. When it is too restrictive, such as
not considering the file syntax, use a lint tool for the specific file
type instead of trusting editorconfig. Changes were made to increase
readability.
Many of the Pi-Hole releases of this year were made due to security
vulnerabilities. None of them are to concern to Qusal users.
- GHSA-jg6g-rrj6-xfg6: Requires authenticated user;
- GHSA-95g6-7q26-mp9x: Requires authenticated user; and
- GHSA-3597-244c-wrpj: Requires shell in the same qube running Pi-Hole.
The admin interface is only allowed through localhost, therefore only
sys-pihole and sys-pihole-browser qubes have access to it, blocked by
firewall (nftables) and HTTP server (lighttpd). Qubes with access to the
admin interface are not of a concern, we assume that every qube that has
access to the admin interface is trusted, therefore, only if a qube
doesn't have access to the admin interface and can gain access, it
becomes a concern, which hasn't happened.
In case user configured Wireguard but there are no clients connected,
network hooks are never run and no domains can be resolved from the
sys-wireguard qube itself, therefore using Qrexec services to resolve
DNS in sys-wireguard hooks doesn't work and depended on connected
clients.
If Wireguard systemd service wasn't run, the nameserver will be empty
and that is not a problem.
In case user hasn't configured the Wireguard configuration correctly,
drop all connections.
Only way to have a unified markdown syntax is to enforce the wanted
syntax by linting the files. Don't rely on the many markdown syntaxes,
be consistent.
- git-send-email was implemented for a future RPC service for SMTP that
was never created and can have some risks. As dev has no networking by
default and the service was never created, removing it;
- git and gnupg already present in the included states;
- remove commented code; and
- move separate salt state to default installation as it only contains a
single package that is not troublesome.
