Topic: hyperbola first install experience
i am quite impressed by hyperbola!
it looks nice , package selection is great (some are quite old though - but that's the price of debian-stability )
((as for request for newer packages i would like a newer cryptsetup - the rest is (mostly) fine for me))
also the blacklist is great.
the installation was straight forward, but the wifi connection failed because the was no
nohook wpa_supplicant
in the dhcpcd.conf (or the dhcpcd-hook clobbers the wpa_supplicant config from before)
also i would like to mention that the dhcpcd-config leads to many data leaks, (vendoridclass is really bad - it sends os, kernel version etc.)
i guess the dhcpcd.conf is the vanilla one, but a commented line like this could be useful:
#uncomment this for a more privacy aware behaviour
#nooption 4 7 14 17 19 20 21 27 40 41 42 69 70 71 72 73 75 76
#nohook hostname
there is a package called dhcpcd_hardened (which calls /usr/libexec/dhcpcd/dhcpcd_hardened.sh
) to achieve this, but it seems really broken to me and i cannot recommend it, because it does tihs:
#!/bin/sh
# This script wipes hostname and DUID so that DHCP can't send it over the network
echo 'hostname="localhost"' > /etc/conf.d/hostname
# Properly sets our new host in /etc/hosts file
sed -i '/127.0.0.1/c\127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 'localhost'' /etc/hosts
# Avoids need to reboot before showing our new hostname in terminals, etc
hostname localhost
# Delete DUID
rm -rf /etc/dhcpcd.duid
for avoiding DUID dhcpcd.conf tells us (send MAC-adress clientdid)
clientid
# Some non-RFC compliant DHCP servers do not reply with this set.
# In this case, comment out duid and enable clientid above.
#duid
thx and have a nice day!
