I want to run openvpn every time I log on, but currently I run

sudo openvpn --config <myconfig> --auth-user-pass <user/pass>

every time. Is there a way to make it run that automatically and not need my password?

I could make it launch a terminal and run a script but is there a way that would not require me to type my password every time? Can I maybe give myself permissions to whatever openvpn needs so it doesn't need sudo? How do I find out what those permissions are? Is this the right place to ask?

I'm running KDE/Plasma 6 on Manjaro should that matter

edit: Thanks all! I'm going to try the systemd option, if I can't get that working I'll fall back to the cronjob option, and failing that changing openvpn to not need a password for sudo and launching a script at kde statup.

They are both awful, yes, but one side is distinctly worse than the other

Nickelback. I mean they're not good but they're not really bad either, just a complete nonevent. They don't deserve the hate they get, they don't really deserve anything

Use Firefox, not Chromium

I do not get the sexualisation of daddy. It just feels pedo and cringy to me. if I was having sex with someone and they called me daddy I'd probably immediately go soft

KDE is better than Windows

~~Audible~~ Audacity is more audio programme than most people need

KdenLive is more video editor than most people need

Kritta is more art programme than most people need

There are edge cases where there are professional programmes that might be better but unless you are a professional you do not need them and even semi-pros would likely be better served by those three

I read that and am now more confused. Thanks!

Touch screens in cars are stupid: you need to take your eyes off the road to use them. Buttons and knobs, once you have learned them, can be operated by touch and maybe a quick flick of your eyes.

"The best time to plant a tree is fifty years ago. The second best time is right now" - essentially don't worry about what you could have done better, or what could have been, make now and the future as good as you can

and

"If you don't fall off occasionally, you're not trying hard enough" - originally told to me in the context of learning to windsurf (I still can't windsurf), but applicable in a lot of areas. This doesn't mean try to fall off, it means failure is a natural part of growth, not something to be shunned

I have installed i2pd from the Manjaro package, and everything seems to be working fine, I can access i2p sites without problem. However I can't access my local console and everything that entails because I get the the following error

Proxy error: Outproxy failure

Host 127.0.0.1 is not inside I2P network, but outproxy is not enabled

I have tried enabling the outproxy (or at least uncommenting all the lines that include the word outproxy in the default i2pd.conf, and setting outproxy.enabled = true), it makes no difference

I'm using foxyproxy to enable and disable the proxy as needed. If it's disabled, or if I use firefox's internal proxy settings, I get s standard "firefox can't find this site" page, so it's clearly doing something!

This is probably a really obvious mistake I'm making with a three second fix, but I have hit a wall and don't know what I'm doing!
