x200-my is a simple openrc script primarily designed to make the distinctive whining noise of Thinkpads X200 disappear. But it can also be used on other laptops.

It is written to be used on Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre but it should work on other Arch-based + openrc distributions.

Privacy Settings

It also provides a “Privacy settings” section: if enable_privacy is set to true, then the wired internet interface that may or may not be connected to the internet can have its MAC address spoofed at startup. (The wireless interfaces must also be spoofed, but this can be handled by wpa_supplicant.) Additionally, x200-my will delete /etc/dhcpcd.duid, which will make dhcpcd generate a new DUID-LLT based file with an updated timestamp and the link-layer address of the network interface that is connected to the DHCP device at the time that the DUID is generated.

  4. The disk must be mounted.
  5. An (empty) dobackup file must be present in the backup directory.

Then, once these conditions are met, the backup process is triggered whenever the service is stopped. It additionally generates a list of installed packages in case the disk should die and everything should be reinstalled.
