Ubuntu was my first Linux desktop distro and I’ve been using it for 4ish years. I really liked it but I no longer feel like I can trust canonical after the whole ‘secretly install Firefox snap when installed with apt cli’ thing. It wouldn’t have even been a big deal if they just said it was only available as a snap but the execution pissed me off to the point of switching

Yes it looks like it is included in the official docker image

Ya that just sounds like good practice for internal services.

@Kethal@lemmy.world Maybe see if you can use a FIDO2 device like yubikey for 2fa

Are you sure? Discover does have free identity monitoring and I get emails every month saying whether they found anything or not. I have never gotten an email saying they found my ssn though so can’t say for sure if this is legit. Either way I would still check through the app or their website without opening the link.

You can watch rss feeds to follow all CVEs like Microsoft’s https://api.msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/rss

NIST used to have an rss feed for CVEs but deprecated it recently. They still have other ways you can follow it though https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/data-feeds

Or if you just want to follow CVEs for certain applications you can host/subscribe to something like https://www.opencve.io/welcome which allows you to filter CVEs from NIST’s National Vulnerability Database (NVD)

It looks like it should be possible as both your cpu and motherboard support Intel VT-d

PCIe pass through isn’t enabled by default in Proxmox and requires some manual changes to the bootloader (grub or systemd-boot) as well as loading some kernel modules. You may also need to enable VT-d in your BIOS. You can read proxmox’ guide for enabling PCIe pass through here:

Thanks for the info! Looks pretty cool I’ll have to check it out

This is the first time I’ve heard of Victoria Metrics. It looks like it has a similar use case as Prometheus, is that correct? If so, what made you or your team choose one over the other?

It’s like getting mad at math because rich people use it to count money

You can always do both and expose some services outside your network and keep the others local only while still being able to access them yourself with a vpn.

I had to deal with the same thing in outlook. A user was complaining that their password manager wasn’t working when opening links from outlook and didn’t even notice it was opening in edge instead of chrome.

Its more likely that they are required to have insurance that would cover ransomware due to the sensitive information they have on patients

I haven’t tried any of them but I did just listen to a podcast the other week where they talk about LlamaGPT vs Ollama and other related tools. If you’re interested it’s episode 540: Uncensored AI on Linux by Linux Unplugged

Sure if it fails completely it will, but it doesn’t catch everything. Here’s a related story I have:

At work we had a bunch of Lenovo X1 Carbons running windows that would have the usb-c ports die seemingly randomly on users which was a big problem since that’s also the charging port. There never seemed to be any similar root cause connecting the incidents and Lenovo’s support wasn’t any help. Our entire company is remote but luckily we had onsite support so for a while they would just come by and replace the whole motherboard each time.

Finally one day while scheduling a repair the support guy I was talking to just said, “Oh I’ve seen this before. It’s just a bad update and resetting the CMOS battery by putting a paper clip in this hidden hole fixes it.” We had the user try it out and the ports worked fine again. Apparently they had run some windows updates that failed silently and were causing the hardware issues.

From then on any time a user has had a hardware issue we can’t figure out we just have them try the reset and it has worked every time. This only happens probably 3-4 times a year but we only have less than 40 of these machines so not an insignificant amount.

That seems to only be for the Java code

How fast though is Java versus other languages? A show and tell page has submissions in Rust, C#, Go, Python, PostgreSQL, Python, C, C++, and more. These are hard to compare with one another since they have been run on different hardware, but there are some impressive results, including one under 5 seconds done with C on an AMD laptop, and a C# solution that runs in 5.3 seconds on a Core i5-12500 with 6 cores.

The deed was done and it deserved its fate

You can use a VPS or cloudflare in that case

It’s a satire account
