  • Of course, imagine e.g. games. Setting the refresh rate can be important for a program to work correctly and also performance. In the case of Mull that’s a part of the Rest Finger Printing (RFP) stuff they rolled out around 102.

  • It’s much the same where I come from.

    The high quality institutions have Linux in their labs (either a separate lab or dual boot) and a server with say access for training ML models etc.

    The dodgy ones have only Windows with no software and require students to buy a second laptop and install Linux. If they don’t the students fail. Those tests were done in handwriting but they are still an accredited university :(

  • I have no clue how dangerous running Firefox as root is, but it begs the question…why would you do that?

    Create a user account for managing things and create a separate user for each service and/or containers.

    For managing things use tmux with ssh, if you want to manage files etc. just use ranger/lf/mc. One can also mount the file system with sshfs.

  • Yeah there’s a bit of scope to review what op is doing here.

    Why is there even a DE on a server if it’s headless. If it’s not headless why not write up some Dockerfiles and manage it from a non-root account?

    Are the services running as root?

    Also, is it being accessed via wireguard/ovpn? It would be unwise to run a server as root with an open port.

  • users knowingly opted into a feature that had a clear privacy risk.

    Strong passwords often aren't at issue, password re-use is. If un-{salted, hashed} passwords were compromised in a previous breach, then it doesn’t matter how strong those passwords are.

    Every user who was compromised:

    1. Put their DNA profile online
    2. Opted to share their information in some way

    A further subset of users failed to use a unique and strong password.

    A 2FA token (think Matrix) might have helped here, other than that, individuals need to take a greater responsibility for personal privacy. This isn’t an essential service like water, banking, electricity etc. This is a place to upload your DNA profile…
