Arch is for people who want to think they are computer experts.
Debian/Fedora are for the experts that have moved beyond reading release notes.
Ubuntu is in fact sold and supported and that generates most of the money to fund it’s development.
I know everyone here is obsessed with freaking out over the legislation.
But I think the author is wrong, they should just add this to accountservice and Debian will pick it up in 5-10 years and that’s fine.
I actually thing the tendency to over engineer this solution to make back porting easier is worse than the milktoast Californian law.
Because not selling your product to the 5th largest economy in the world is a dumb idea.
I don’t think the CA law requires your OS verify your age, just that it requests the age of your user account during setup and has an API to provide that age range to app stores.

I don’t think it’s any more of a privacy violation than passing UserAgents
That makes a lot more sense thanks
I’m not sure how useful this is, but it helped me understand.
The subnet mast is the count of the bits from the front that matter.
This is useful for switches and network equipment that only have to look at that much if the packet and route it quickly.
So a 10.0.0.0/8 address the switch only looks at the first 8 binary digits (also called an octet) and routes it based on that.
This also works for non multiple of 8 masks, as it’s an operation done on a binary level (it’s a mask using a binary AND so only bits that are true and.the mask can be matter)
10.192.0.0/10
IP: 00001010.11000000.00000000.00000000
Mask: 11111111.11 000000.00000000.00000000
So 10.192.0.1 and 10.192.255.255 look the same with their mask on
1: 00001010.11 000000.00000000.00000001
255: 00001010.11 111111.11111111.11111111
Mask: 11111111.11 000000.00000000.00000000
Result for both is: 00001010.11 000000.00000000.00000000
Cached files are freeable so the kernel will drop them instead of sending them to swap.
And I’m pretty sure zram is just a swap device in RAM so should follow the same rules.
My understanding is the kernel will remove them if it needs the ram, so there is no need unless it’s for security reasons.
Urgh this guy’s videos are soo long and overdramatic.
This is the Wikipedia article he read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor?wprov=sfla1
3·11 days agoAny we client including Matrix webclient is incredibly vulnerable to the server just injecting JS and reading your messages.
Like there is no point of E2E encryption in Twitter, Musk can read your messages if you open them on any device he can execute arbitrary code on.
That actually sounds cool, I wonder if they could support Hidden containers, so the same message can be decypted to different messages by different users.
That’s not really going to be the case if you’re using a website instead of an audited app like signal/matrix.
Why?
What benefit does this have over Signal/Matrix?
The article just says “improvements”.
What do you mean?
And what benefit justifies yet another standard?
3·12 days agoThis is what good distros do, well some of them, I don’t think low touch repos like AUR/Homebrew/PPA’s would catch this, but I doubt huntarr will ever make it to Debian.
Ofc the trend of running upstream unverted containers undermines this.
Yeah this is why I use Debian instead of containers, you can read the release notes on a stable release.
What is securing those private channels?
Whatever vulnerability there is in that will basically give them root on your home sever right?
Yeah Linus uses Fedora because:
I know KDE devs rate opensuse highly for similar reasons, if you primarily develop 1 app/framework/kernel you don’t want the fun of irregular updates that haven’t been properly tested (or have been tested and need manual intervention anyway) especially if those updates could potentially break your thing.
