  • The only real downside on the open source side is that the fix is also public, and thus the recipe how to exploit the backdoor.

    If there's a massive CVE on a closed source system, you get a super high-level description of the issue and that's it.

    If there's one on an open source system, you get ready-made "proof of concepts" on github that any script kiddy can exploit.

    And since not every software can be updated instantly, you are left with millions of vulnerable servers/PCs and a lot of happy script kiddies.

    See, for example, Log4Shell.

  • Most people I helped getting Linux to work are actually not techy at all and they haven't touched the CLI at all so far...

    I guess it differs if you use Linux because you are interested in the technology or if you use it because Windows 11 doesn't run on your PC.

  • Tbh, I don't recommend beginners to try out multiple distros in the beginning. Realistically, if you don't have in depth Linux knowledge already, all you'll be able to differentiate is the look of the DE and the wallpaper.

    I find, too much choice tends to confuse beginners more than it helps them.

    So I'd rather recommend something simple like Ubuntu and let them try out the flavours with the different DEs.

    Choice is better for later when people actually understand what they are looking for.

  • And you are not getting the point. Every method of killing people is terrible and inhumane. There is no humane way of killing people, because the very act of killing people is inhumane.

    The only humane method is one that doesn't kill or harm people.

  • A Fairphone 4. Got it at launch and it's a terribly buggy mess.

    Describing all the issues would make a huge wall of text.

    The sad part is that the hardware is ok. But they don't seem to have any software QA at all.

    My goal was to carry it until 2027, when replacable batteries will become standard, but since I can't even use the phone for calling, I am trying to at least carry it until the Galaxy S55 launches.

  • I got the 6 million from this link: https://www.chemanalyst.com/industry-report/helium-gas-market-578

    The issue is not how much can be produced right now, but the rate at which we are depleting it.

    I found different estimates on how long earth's helium supply will last, and most of them are between 10 and 100 years. That's not a long time, considering that it means we will lose access to a whole element.

    If "infant" means child does that mean that "fant" means adult?

    Problem with KDE+Nvidia+Proton

    I recently switched my entertainment laptop to Linux after having my work devices on it for a few years.

    The laptop has a Gforce 1050 Max-Q in it. I'm trying to run games from Steam that officially don't support Linux.

    If I set the PRIME profile in the Nvidia control panel to "Nvidia only", everything works as expected.

    But if I set the profile to "On demand", the whole system freezes a few seconds after I open a game.

    I read some vague comment on Reddit saying it might have something to do with me using KDE.

    If I run it on the Intel GPU, it works no matter what profile is set (but super slow).

    The system is freshly installed using the proprietary Nvidia driver version 535.

    Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

    I made a FOSS physical keyboard for my Fairphone 4

    Github link: https://github.com/Dakkaron/Fairberry

    Here's a video of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDb8_ld9gOQ

    I've been using it for almost two years now, and I'm not going back.

    It's based on a spare Blackberry Q10 keyboard and a custom Arduino-compatible board that reads the keyboard matrix and outputs it as USB HID to the phone. From the viewpoint of the phone, it's just a regular USB keyboard, so no special software is needed.

    But I do use a custom virtual keyboard to have just two rows of symbols that are not natively on the keyboard, as I didn't want to add another layer of rarely used symbols that I'd have to memorize.

    Switching RST to AHCI without losing data

    My laptop switched from AHCI to RST on its own (probably after a Windows update) and now I cannot boot my Kubuntu anymore. Live sticks also cannot access the drives. When I try to switch it back in the UEFI settings, it tells me that it will wipe the drive to do so.

    Is this message correct? How can I change it back without losing all my data?

    The device in question is a Lenovo Ideapad 720-15ikb with Kubuntu and Win10 dual boot.

    This site looks kinda weird. For one, it looks much more polished than any similar site I've seen so far. They have really good SEO as well, always popping up pretty high on Google. They have a massive selection of content.

    How can they still be up?

    What's the catch/what's wrong with them?

    Also, what do they mean by "preinstalled"? The game isn't preinstalled if I have to install it from them, is it?

    /r/Austria geht inzwischen gar nicht mehr

    Ich hab mal wieder bisserl meine Zechen bei Reddit reingedrippt, und es direkt bereut.

    Auf /r/Austria, was früher ganz nett und angenehm war, sind irgendwie nur mehr Rechte unterwegs. Dauerhaftes Schimpfen über Ausländer, Zahlen und Fakten interessieren niemanden mehr. Ist echt schlimm.

    Zechen sind auf jeden Fall wieder eingezogen und ich bleib hier.

    What's the fundamental difference between Fediverse/ActivityPub/Lemmy and the Usenet?

    After reading a bit about Usenet, it seems to me as if the whole Fediverse seems to be just a reinvention of Usenet.

    What's the big difference?

    Who could use a new Mod Bot?

    geteilt von: https://feddit.de/post/1728805

    I made a simple mod bot for Lemmy.

    It's still "early access", but it's stable and should be fit for everyday use.

    I'd be really happy to get some feedback on what kind of features mods would like to see.

    If you want to try it in action, go to [email protected]. That's the testing community where it currently filters posts with duplicate URLs, same as mentions of Reddit, Lego and other beings-who-must-not-be-named. Feel free to post stuff there and see it get automatically moderated.

    Braucht wer einen Mod Bot?

    Ich hab einen Mod Bot geschrieben, der nach konfigurierbaren Regeln konfigurierbare Aktionen automatisch ausführt. Für feddit.de habe ich den auch selbst gehostet. Für andere Instanzen muss ich noch schauen, wie ich dort mach, mal sehen.

    Der Code ist auf Github verfügbar. Wer den Mod Bot verwenden will, kann entweder selbst einen Bot-Account erstellen und den Bot irgendwo laufen lassen (braucht quasi keine Ressourcen, rennt bequem auf einem Pi Zero oder einem alten Handy), oder Square_Mod_Bot zum Moderator in der Community machen und mir die Config per PN schicken.

    Ich kann auch gerne helfen beim Erstellen einer Config.

    Der Bot ist aktuell im Early Access, funktioniert aber stabil. Ich könnte noch Input gebrauchen, welche Trigger/Aktionen oder weitere Features sinnvoll wären.

    Nazi-Ehrung am Straßenschild in Wien

    Die Zusatztafel macht es definitiv nicht besser.

    Nicht nur hat der Nazi noch immer eine Straße, die seinen Namen trägt, sondern jetzt steht dort sein Lebenslauf und eine Referenz auf seine Auszeichnungen.

    "Schauts, der Kloepfer war ein richtig toller Nazi".

    Echt heftig sowas.

    A tampermonkey script that displays your "karma" score next to your user name

    Crossgeposted von: https://feddit.de/post/1185964

    Please excuse my sub-par JavaScript, I am a backend dev.

    All you need to do is paste this into Tampermonkey and enter your username and your instance url (on two locations).

    This is not showing other users' scores and it doesn't make your score visible to anyone else than yourself.

    So no need for karma farming. This is just for fun.
