I finally got OpenHamClock auto launching on my Raspberry Pi 5, using the kiosk installer from them

Lightdm wouldn't auto login, no matter which setting file I changed, nor what I changed it to

Eventually, out of desperation, I switched to gdm3 and now it's working perfectly as I expected, lol

That was an hour of debugging I wish I had back, lol

So...on my laptop, the Desktop Manager hides possible users on login. That's good for rubber hose security (only if I have password root login disabled) #lightdm

But my phone is another story. All users are known once logged in. There is no "hide other users" password. I often read about people getting popped by the police for political posts. ICE murders and disappears people for this kind of thing. Would be nice to have a certain password to log into a curated "work" safe account with a browsing history and photos I share with my boss.

This is also a post about #GraphineOS which may be secure, but not against the old rubber hose security bypass trick. And every ICE roadblock with guns pulled out.

#security

.... I cannot believe that there is so much BS going on over the #KDE login manager where people are upset over the removal of BSD support... because it ties to systemd... isn't linux like it always been about giving options, KDE has more options than others like LightDM and SSDM it is just annoying people creating drama where there isn't any needed...

Spent last 2 days, during nap hours of the little one, to install #FreeBSD on my old HP EliteBook 840 G3 

It has been really interesting, faced some problems with hardware driver and crash that needed me to understand how to unload modules before boot, but at the end I've everything working fine for graphics and wireless drivers

Even installed #xfce and #lightdm to get a nice desktop environment

The pkg package manager is pretty similar to the #Linux #Debian apt so not totally lost here 

Still a lot to learn but the FreeBSD handbook is well writen

I won't stop to use Linux but it's a good experience ton learn here
