gdm works pretty well with selecting and jumping to all kinds of different DEs. It shouldn’t really be a problem. The only thing I might watch out for is KDE/gnome for example can install a TON of dependencies that you might not necessarily want in both. You can wind up with a lot of duplicate programs. and your home directory will be full of all kinds of config files.

But you can run hyprland, i3, xfce, awesome, etc alongside each other without too much hassle.

I have had the same arch linux install for the past 13 years and have been on a ton of different DEs in that time including times when I switched back and forth between a few concurrently installed. It never caused any issues for me other than trying to clean up all the K programs that had been installed, and cleaning up my home dir.

your memes are bad. and you should feel bad.

yeah but…. don’t they not last nearly as long?

there were already reports of it being exploited in the wild, but yes thankfully apple responded in time, although I still have friends and family a day later where their devices still havent been updated automatically. I suspect it will be more than a week before all automated patches go out.

If this was used for some kind of malware that caused your phone to be compromised as well as forward the malware to everyone in your contacts list this could be catastrophically bad. Like a modern day lovebug virus.

alacritty

This isn't really going to be accurate all the time. It is a totally reasonable configuration to use a mailserver not in the MX records. Lots of companies that send automated emails use a service like mailgun or sendgrid as a relay, which isn't their MX server. It doesn't come from their company's mailserver. The only way to validate that is by adding mailgun/sendgrid as an include in the SPF record.

PTR records are very difficult to maintain for any accuracy since lots of companies use cloud providers and don't bring their own IPs.

You'll often miss things like "Your credit card expired" or "please change your password" or even "Here's your monthly bill from the power company" emails.

100%. Do what you love and never work a day in your life, also watch yourself effortlessly accelerate to the top of your field. Being the best at something nearly always means paychecks.

Changing your mindset from "I went to university, therefore I should have a good paying job" to "What can I do to make myself more valuable to employers?" makes a pretty big difference.

I do this pretty much everywhere, but mainly for 2 reasons:

• If I close the account and never want to hear from them again, filter out the alias
• If I receive junk mail to that address, I know where it was leaked from

I do this by a catch-all on my own personal domain, so anything@mydomain.com will get sent to my inbox. I generate random strings/words/names for every email.

If you're running your own domain and mail server with everything validated via SPF and DKIM etc then this layer of spam filtering won't do anything. Other spam filters like AI-based ones that look at the contents of message for spammy stuff need to take over after that point.

Fighting spam is constant cat-and-mouse battle and you'll never truly get rid of all of it.

When you send an email to a mail server, you can set the "FROM" address to literally anything. The mail server does not care and forwards stuff on, as long as you're authenticated. Anyone can run their own mail server anywhere that will dutifully just relay emails, which is what spammers often do. There are entries in DNS called SPF records (Sender Policy Framework) which mailservers use to validate on the receiving side that the FROM address coming from the mail server matches with a list of allowed mail servers IP address(es). If it doesn't match it gets sent to spam, or outright rejected (depending on if the record says ~all or -all). It is often not ideal to reject any message that fails this check, because if you have some local system that runs its own mailserver and sends alert emails it might not necessarily match.

The internet has made it way too easy for morons to band together and validate their beliefs. for all the same reasons that makes the internet great. Whenever I see blatant misinformation and fear around a topic I happen to know a lot about I feel an overwhelming responsibility to say something. It always just turns into a flame war because these kinds of people just can’t stand facts. It gets nowhere.

I seriously want to just let it go and let them be insufferable but I’m worried what would happen if the truth made no attempt to fight back. So many riots and misguided movements keep happening because of it.

I think a coffee with 8 sugars is still WAY less sugar than a soda.

100%

Im curious as to what this actually is. I mean its not like the car has an actual sex log. Could it be as simple as the GPS location history? like where you navigated to previously?

This is actually a sign of autism

woah bluetooth signals can be tapped?

I wear sunglasses to drive all the time. If I look down at the touchscreen to use the nav it beeps at me and tells me to keep my eyes on the road. It will even detect if you have a phone in your hand. Where do you see that it doesn’t monitor in any useful way? Would you prefer that people not be reminded of distracted driving?
