I waited through meamo, meego, and tizen hoping for it to take off. Went with Firefox OS and Ubuntu touch instead, which had very little to offer. Not too long ago I felt I had to give up and go with android, and dream of a world where nokia would have taken the meamo/meego/tizen path instead.

Is either a replacement for the other?

How does pi-hole help with Tor Browser? Does DNS not go through the Tor network?

I was gonna write 99%, but then I remember I also need capture groups quite often. That would make 99% I'd say

This is 80% of my usage of awk and sed:

"ugh, I need the 4th column of this print out": command | awk '{print $4}'

Useful for getting pids out of a ps command you applied a bunch of greps to.

”hm, if I change all 'this' to 'that' in the print out, I get what I want": command | sed "s/this/that/g"

Useful for a lot of things, like "I need to change the urls in this to that" or whatever.

Basically the rest I have to look up.

If the gentoo wiki did not exist back then I would probably not be as deep into linux as I am today. Insane loss that.

You can just set this in sysctl on basically any Linux, right?

No, it can be very important. As I answered in another comment, its called padding https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padding_(cryptography). And to see that it is imortant say you encrypt your easy to remember password in an encrypted file. Now if your attack was possible, having your public key, you could just generate the passwords and encrypt them to figure out your password. Much easier than trying to find your key. Using forms of padding, that does not work.

Well, you use "padding" to solve those things. Like if you type "hello", your implementation of the whole algorithm should do something like: take the string, add some random string that is tagged in some way, and then encrypt. At decryption, you get a string with some random stuff in it, but you filter the tag and return only the message. Like "hello" -> "[trash]kfkidkeb[/trash] hello", add and remove the "[trash]" block, before encryption and after decryption, respectively

JBP is always at a five then?

Gentoo rolled back to 5.4.2 to have a version without any contributions from the person responsibe for the backdoor. 5.2.8 should be ok I'd say.

Depends on distro. But the backdoored package has not been around for more than a few weeks. But the malicious developer have been active for years.

If the above decides to continue, the code appears to be parsing the symbol tables in memory. This is the quite slow step that made me look into the issue.

That is from the original find. Not sure the relevance of it and this being proof for it being "on purpose". But that is the origin of the slowness.

Distros like gentoo reverted to 5.4.2 for that reason. If debian stable is on 5.4.1 that should be ok.

The first time I configured the kernel was in Gentoo. The gain from the configuration it self may not have been much, but making my own initramfs image to bundle and load with the kernel taught me a bunch of how linux works in early boot.

Gentoo just reverted back to the last tar signed by another author than the one seeming responsible for the backdoor. The person has been on the project for years, so one should keep up to date and possibly revert even further back than just from 5.6.*. Gentoo just reverted to 5.4.2.

Haven't you heard there is a Högspänningslikströmsöverföringsanläggningservicelektrikerstrejk going on!

Hm... I'm not sure I follow what one has to do with the other. Are you alluding to some sort of banana-republic-esque situation? Or just general anticompetitve/monopolistic behavior?

Just very generally. In a company there is generally no formalized structure to represent the opinion of the subjects in this case workers. Neither are there such structures in dictatorships.

For the sake of clarity, are you using quotes to reference some group who misappropriates the libertarian term? Or are you saying that the libertarian philosophy argues for an anti-democratic state?

I do not know what you mean when you say "libertarian philosophy", since things like libertarian socialism has very little overlap with "libertarianism" of the right. And there are the quotes again. I just think the word does not really seem appropriate in describing the philosophy when all I have heard from individuals defending it only reflect over the liberty to opress, never the liberty from escaping that opression.

NMR is also not a great abriviation for a Swedish person, Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen (nordic resistance movement) and is a neo-nazi cult-like organization.
