You don't need an account. De-bloating scripts take care of most other annoyances. You can fairly easily beat windows into submission

You are indeed correct

Being distracted by a live stream while cutting people off, speeding, running red lights and ignoring police roadblocks while driving a lorry from Spain through the UK to France

This is about the cosmic desktop environment, not a CPU architecture

Does it necessarily need exploits? I might be wrong, but I believe games running in wine can access any file your user can. It should still be able to delete, edit or encrypt them. Wine just translates calls, it doesn't create a locked down container or anything iirc

Does anyone know if firewalls like OPNSense can do IPS for ads and tracking instead of "normal" intrusions like malware?

Wine might translate the windows calls to Linux depending on what the malware does

AFAIK CTT's tool literally uses Microsoft provided tooling.

Edit: it's the same tooling used by companies to modify their own windows installs

Last I checked windows 11 can be installed without TPM support. I think rufus even has a simple checkbox for it and Chris Titus's winutil can modify an ISO to do the sams

Sadly you won't always have a choice. My university has disabled any non-Microsoft client support. They do this to "protect the privacy of the teachers". Currently I'm running a windows VM on my server with Outlook to forward the emails to my personal email. Which in the end is even worse for them GDPR wise

That's really cool! Rewriting sudo in Rust actually feels like a no brainer tbh

Markdown supports images and tables. It may depend on the rendered though. The GitHub flavour of Markdown supports this for example and I expect Latex supports it too. If existing tools don't exist to get the height of elements you can probably make it yourself fairly easily if you you the specific font and styling the renderer uses. You'd just have to parse the file, which is basically plain text, and run the same calculations the renderer would. For which approximation might be fine depending on the use case

This is very different from docz or odt, but maybe its worth looking into converting markdown or latex to PDF with something like pandoc. Maybe that or some other more open and less complex format might help with this?

How would that be different from other countries? Would there be too many cultural similarities?

As a kid I used a metal tool to cut a live wire 220v-240v wire and besides getting scared by the jolt I was fine. Probably because the protection circuits kicked in

Hetzner storage boxes look really compelling. Thanks for sharing!

I've heard of tools like that, but this works fine for me. This way I'm not dependent on it being packaged for my distro and having to install it through other means. I'm fine running things manually, this is just for convenience

I don't think I've posted it before, but here it is. If you use different utilities you'd have to swap those out. Also excuse the comments, I had GH Copilot generate this script

My update script handles mirrors, updates and cleans the cache automatically. I'd definitely recommend creating one. It's aliased to sysupdate for me and I also check if it's a debian or arch based distro so the command works on my servers and desktop

Very interesting, might have to check that out sometime
