Re: Open banking secure ?

How to prepare step by step ?
Dear EBored,

Puli has three security profiles beyond its default "Mild" one. The majority of the technical security measures are active during you are using a supported web browser. For example, see /usr/bin/netchecker for profiles Mild and Rigorous. Those protective actions can be easily tailored/extended by the users.

Also, you can configure a specific firewall (e.g., by editing the selectable ones in Puli) and/or manually edit the /etc/hosts, /etc/suspicious hosts, /etc/friends files.

Right-clicking on an executable file in Puli, e.g., on /usr/local/bin/defaultdict, provides options to run it in sandbox and /or configure the runtime parameters.

Example A)

Sending an executable to a sandbox (Firejail):

1. Right-click on /usr/local/bin/defaultdict file
2. In the pop-up menu, select Run in Sandbox

Example B)

You downloaded a video file and you want to run /root/spot/Downloads/myvideo.mp4 in a sandbox:

1. Right-click on /usr/bin/mpv and select Apply Runtime Parameters
2. In the blue Prefix popup, type firejail --noprofile then click Next
3. In the yellow Postfix popup, type /root/spot/Downloads/myvideo.mp4 (the absolute path of your video file)
4. Click Run

However, fraud and other types of social engineering need more attention from the user on top of the technical security controls implemented.

Concerning open banking, please carefully read the liability section in the contract proposed by a (potential) service provider and decide whether it is appropriate for you in cases of fraud.

Please also read the Disclaimer part of Readme-Puli_packages.txt at Puli's download page

https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... iles/Puli/:

Code: Select all

Puli is provided "as is" - not intended to provide environment of diagnosis, treatment or medical advice, etc. I shall be liable neither for any damages, additional costs or losses incurred by Puli as the combo of the install image and the environment that runs Puli; nor by any element included in/installed on top of Puli; due to their failure or delay of performance of any obligations of the user.
Have fun!

MuseScore variants

#303 Post by gjuhasz »

Dear Puli users,

I uploaded MuseScore-3.4.2-x86_64.AppImage to

https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... t/packages

However, I recognized that the MuseScore AppImages (even the earlier ones) segfault on some old machines, e.g., on my HP Compaq DC 7600 SFF (Intel® P4, 3GB, Radeon graphics) while they run smoothly on newer ones such as my HP Elitebook 850 G6 (8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7, 16 GB).

So, I decided to assemble a 64-bit sfs package from MuseScore-2.0.3 with some features of v3.4.2. Successfully tested with Puli7.3 on all my machines then uploaded to the above folder.

Have fun!

Regards,

gjuhasz
