Reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Goawnz230

I might have missed it but I’m surprised no one has mentioned a tiling WM.

I almost expect them as much as arch users lol.

Darknet Diaries: lmao we live in a surveillance state

Yeah I can’t wait for when enthusiasts want my stacks of 2004 laptop RAM sticks and LCD panels.

The demand will open up any second now

If you’re curious about the history, public school lunches were federally funded and made free under FDR during WWII to combat malnourishment, especially for high schoolers who were getting drafted after turning 18.

It was so successful that the US continued the policy even after the war ended, and hence cafeterias became the default since they include a large kitchen that’s capable of producing high quality food at large quantities.

That is until Reagen, among a crap ton of other things, nuked lots of the socialist policies which included free school lunches.

Schools continued to produce lunch, but you had to pay.

40+ years of insane decline later, and public schools are so under funded that they can’t even afford to produce lunch in their cafeterias anymore. American consumerism shoved its way in, so now everything is prepackaged garbage made as cheaply as possible from the same conglomerates that make unhealthy trash that’s often banned by other countries due to health risks.

The final killing blow was when Michelle Obama failed to tackle this core issue in her student health campaign, and they forced public schools to ban essentially flavor as a concept (anything “high” in salt, spice, oil/fats, calories, etc).

Everything was switched over to “healthy” options which literally just meant low fat/zero calorie slop or sugar slop.

If you want a real kicker, the chocolate milk they served at my HS had 28g of sugar per serving lol. But don’t worry because the vending machines now only have baked potato chips and diet soda.

Charter and private schools aren’t really affected by this since they have alternative funding sources.

If you mean inevitable due to lack of global action, then yeah because that’s how most models present eventual societal collapse.

If you mean because its too far gone, that’s not true. There’s still time to mitigate the issues we’ve created, but the effort required increases every year, and there’s not enough being done about it.

Why am I like this?

Procrastination

And how can I make it stop?

Any well known method that you can probably find on youtube, but the general idea is that you need to overcome the psychological barrier of just starting the task. How you do that is up to you.

Once you start, then you will naturally continue. And once you get in the habit of not dismissing tasks, then you will find it easier to do them from the beginning.

Repurposed my 750ti in my homelab server lol. That poor thing is also likely not gonna rest any time soon.

Still on a 1660ti and probably will be for the foreseeable future lol.

(I don’t need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.

Wireguard on 443 or OpenVPN + Stunnel on 443

Wireguard is easier to setup because there’s no OpenVPN app that packages stunnel (afaik), so you have to run 2 apps on your phone to make it work.

A server like caddy can also accept HTTPS traffic for some regular websites next to the VPN server.

Wireguard uses UDP, so just run whatever you want on 443 TCP with caddy (unless you want QUIC for some reason?)

Anything beyond that and you’d be looking at using a proper obfuscation solution like Shadowsocks or obfs4, in which case you should look into Amnezia or Tor bridges.

Hey at least it still runs on your machine.

DLSS 6 will run exclusively on the cloud because RTX 6 series won’t ship with any RAM or compute nodes since they all went into enterprise cards lol

The modern web is an insult to the idea of efficiency at practically every level.

You cannot convince me that isolation and sandboxing requires a fat 4Gb slice of RAM for a measly 4 tabs.

Nice lol, have fun!

Hey to be fair I know several people who do know, but so poorly that they’ll still be defnitley grinding your gears lol.

I can’t find it now, but there was some talk about AppArmor being dropped due to its limiations, but I guess that’s no longer the case?

But yeah the selinux “just relabel all” is an annoying duct tape solution to anyone who has issues. Optimally you should only need to relabel a dir/file once or set the appropriate selinux policy flag if you do run into a problem.

The user friendly solution is supposed to be the troubleshooter, which actually works pretty well most of the time, but it still requires the user to know how SElinux works to use correctly.

Non answer but it reminds me that Britainized Indian food is the same as Americanized Chinese food. Changed enough that its actually counts as its own unique thing which I guess is cool.

There’s a lot of misinformation in this thread. Linux malware targeted at desktop users has actually become more apparent in recent years due to the growing number of users.

That didn’t use to be the case because Linux was almost exclusively used for everything except end user desktops.

What you need to understand is Linux is fundamentally more secure from the OS perspective. A good example is how there are no network listening services running like how Windows has SMB/NetBIOS which had the infamous eternal blue vulnerabilities.

That means it is highly unlikely you will be targeted by system/service level malware that exploits known vulnerabilities, so long as you stay reasonably up to date with your package manager. Add on to the fact you probably won’t be running such software like Apache or NGINX anyways.

but is it a reasonable concern?

Yes, you should still stay vigilant as a user as current malware, even for windows, typically invovles some level of social engineering.

The bonus for linux is that you should optimally never have to download executables from the browser. Anytime you do, make sure to pay close attention to what you are downloading and where from.

Some key stuff for linux:

1. Never do a curl | bash. Always download the script and peruse it to see what it actually does.

2. Always prefer packages from package manager, and be careful if using 3rd party repos such as AUR or COPR

3. Don’t download binaries from untrusted sources, and never run as sudo without knowing what it does.

Are there sufficient tools for people who don’t really know what they’re doing to be reasonably secure on Linux and will they keep up if the threat profile expands as Linux picks up more users?

Yes, I suggest you become a little bit familiar with a distro that has SELinux (ex: Fedora). It’s just a MAC security control scheme, but it adds a lot of benefit if you aren’t familiar with Linux in general.

Aside from that, you can use ClamAV for virus scanning. AV and consumer EDR on Linux isn’t that widely available due to the low amount of malware at this time, but I do expect that to slowly change as the userbase grows.

As malware detection gets better, I’m sure ClamAV will add features and functionality to keep up.

Original Fortnite was garbage lol. Dunno how much its changed since, but I found it to be the worst f2p battle royale game at the time.

The projectile physics were cruddy, the weapons sucked, the building mechanics seemed like an abusable/spammable gimmick more than a proper feature, there weren’t any vehicles, the rewards were non existent, the graphics looked pretty lame, the emotes had nothing compared to TF2 taunts.

I had more way more fun on some random Chinese mobile pubg knockoff with touchscreen controls.

Maybe its just me, but I feel like Fortnite just got lucky by being the first on the PC/console space that was free, so it exploded in popularity. Otherwise there were a ton of much better alternatives.

AYN Thor is a awesome DS handheld, but they too also warned that their supplier is bumping RAM prices heavily, so they expect the price to go up too
