  • Wasn't the new motherboard released even before the OLED?

  • If a vendor strangely insist on not working on a new product, it's lying.

    In this case it's obvious, considering we already got 2 minor revisions of steamdeck HW.

  • The usefulnes of a system is often measured by the amount of illegal shit it can handle. Nobody would really use a stick or a fire if it required a law enforcement officer standing behind you the whole time.

    On the other hand, Telegram was always intentionally not secure, nor private. So it's not that thay can't comply. They just decided not to (as far as we know).

    This is not really about moderation. The europeans just want to evasdrop on the russians.

  • When some internet stranger manage to enrage me more than usual, I sign up for a porn site with their email address.

    Who did you piss off lately? :)

  • Downvotes are why I'm here!

    Social media without downvotes are just propaganda mills, reinforcing bad behavior.

  • I was honestly surprised by win11. The last time I've daily driven a windows machine was the dark ages of 8.1. My expectations were pretty low thanks to the hate people spewed about it online.

    What I got was a preinstalled SSH client, easy to install SSH server, customizable terminal app with tabs and nice features related to WSL, The WSL itself! Easy to install and switch between different distros, notepad remembers unsaved work, and it finally has tabs! Explorer? Tabs! Media playback? Windows finally got the media control widget, like a normal OS! A lot of small quality of life bits I was used to on my linux desktop. They're even working on finally deprecating that mess of a control panel!

    The only thing that botheres me, is that the UI is clearly being designed by someone with a football field sized monitor. Luckily scaling it back down is still possible. The same thing plagues gnome as well as some commercial prodiucts I use.

  • You, and 62 other people did not read the article.

  • Steam provides it's own linux userspace runtime. The game developers just target that to avoid the problem you describe.

  • stupidity is a once-off

  • What is it with the silent T?

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Sounds like fun, but I wish we had a real multiplatform GUI framework that does not look like ass and does not perform like ass, so we can put the whole shameful electron era behind us.

  • snob librarian’s thing

    And I couldn't figure out why a certain pirate streaming platform does this. I choose scifi category, and it's filled with fantasy and anime.... Your comment might be a clue as to who's behind the platform. A ring of radical outlaw librarians!

  • Pffft, the young generation, not hardened by the 6 different download buttons on a torrent search engine... /s

  • The only thing worse than public voting is public voting that's falsely advertised as private.

  • uname -a

    Updates depend on the specific distro. Some, like debian, keep the major version the same throughout the entire lifetime, just backporting the security fixes, others, like arch, follows the official major releases more closely.

  • TIL: Some people actually like their laptop to wake up after openning the lid!

    I've used Elitebooks with elementary for years and found the wakup after pressing a button logical.

    What pissed me off about probooks/elitebooks was that they woke up to inform me about the low battery, then went back to sleep due to low battery, then wake up, sleep, wake up, sleep, wake up... and the agony went on until the sweet death. I've never felt so sorry for a non living object before or after.

    Oh, and also elementary can't go to sleep from the lockscreen, on any hardware. One of those those bugs that I'm always sure will be taken care of in the next release, but it never is.

  • you still need good security configuration of the exposed service.

    In a sense that security comes in layers, yes. But in practice, this setup will prevent 100% of bots scanning the internet for exposed services, and absolute majority of possible targeted attacks as well. It's like using any other 3rd party VPN, except there's not a central point for the traffic to flow through.

    From the attackers point of view, nothing is listening there.

    I've used a similar setup in the past to access a device behind a NAT (possibly multiple NATs) and a dynamic IPv4. Looking back, that ISP was a pure nightmare.

  • This is not a guide to hide from the government or ISP. Just a way to tunnel to your home server without publishing the sshd for random strangers. Personally, I'd just publish the ssh and be done with it.

    I would rather live without the correlation attacks

    The more people using Tor, the less useful targeted disconnects become.

  • Which is still just as open, but also a massive calling card for anyone trolling around the TOR network

    Luckily, it is no longer possible to easily sniff the new v3 addresses by deploying a malicious relay. Any attack to even reveal the existence of a hidden service would require a very specialized setup. And we're just talking discovery, not the ability to connect and attack the actual service running there.
