Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

  • "Group policy me harder, babe"

    • Adding a user?

    Jump

  • I think that was meant to be a reply to me, so I'll respond.

    Technically, /etc/passwd can have encrypted passwords in it, but as far as I'm aware, no distro has done that in decades, so realistically its not that risky. It does expose the user names though.

  • Can you share the lines from /etc/passwd for your user and the user your adding? Despite its name, there are no passwords here, that is in /etc/shadow

    Edit: can you su to login as the user?

  • I prefer to think of it as an open relationship. I have my home distro, my work distro, and if either of them aren't in the mood, there is an wide variety of other distros to get the job done.

    And if I'm feeling really kinky, there's always Windows.

    • The CUPS Vulnerability

    Jump

  • I think it perfectly highlights what can happen when the risk/severity is blown out of proportion. People will latch on to that and waste precious time and energy defending that.

    If the original guy had just published "CUPS has a RCE, firewall it if you haven't already", the issue would have been patched in the next release, and the world would have kept turning.

    It was a really cool bug, and a great find, it didn't need the hype

    • for those worried about the impact of sanctions on linux, is any of the bsds a better alternative?

    Jump

  • Didn't know that, but makes sense.

    if you are from Russia, it is impossible to convince the US that you are not a part of a state-sponsored entity

    This quote from your article does nail the problem on the head though.

    • Some docker containers need manual start after host reboot

  • Excellent, thanks for the update!

  • Russians can still contribute, they just can't be direct maintainers.

    Nothing will likely change in the short term.

    • Is two weeks of Paternity leave enough (relatively)?

    Jump

  • Its up to 22w in Australia, so 2 is definitely not enough. But, you are remote, and I presume that comes with a lot of flexibility, so unless you switch jobs to one with somehow more flexibility, it might not be worth it.

    Also, definitely worth checking if the new job will actually let you take parental leave early on, sometimes you need to be at a position for at least a year or more before it unlocks.

    • ELI5: What's the point of court confessions?

    Jump

  • Do you mean pleading guilty?

    I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is its a way to shortcut the trial, and hopefully get a lenient sentence.

    • Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?

    Jump

  • We get drug spam and stock spam, no reason to expect that political spam is any less likely.

    Lemmy has a huge amount of hardcore lefty's. If you can get them to not vote, and especially if you can get them to tell their friends not to vote, that is a big win.

    Astroturfing/sockpuppeting is dirty cheap to do, so no reason not to try.

    You do see some users here that will post continously on about a certain topic repeatedly, with no other opinions. They might be legit, but I have my suspicions.

  • If only USA had ranked choice voting, then everyone could do that.

    • Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?

    Jump

  • Remember that in online spaces (and IRL in reality), there are astro-turf/sock puppet accounts that will make claims to sway public opinions.

    • Some docker containers need manual start after host reboot

    Jump

  • Can you make your docker service start after the NFS Mount to rule that out?

    A restart policy only takes effect after a container starts successfully. In this case, starting successfully means that the container is up for at least 10 seconds and Docker has started monitoring it. This prevents a container which doesn't start at all from going into a restart loop.

    https://docs.docker.com/engine/containers/start-containers-automatically/#restart-policy-details

    If your containers are crashing before the 10 timeout, then they won't restart.

    • Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST)

    Jump

  • Don't over think it, Mint will be fine. Modern Linux is very user friendly, and you can do almost everything with some form of UI.

    • Russian lawmakers ratify pact with North Korea as US confirms that Pyongyang sent troops to Russia

    Jump

  • Yeah, rough situation. Ideally, Ukraine needs a way to signal to them, "If you surrender, we'll say you were captured/killed so your family is safe".
