Short TL;DR: nothing burger
Longer TL;DR: Linus sees bad changes to the git tree by Kees Cook that he interprets as being of human origin and intentional, calls them “malicious” changes and orders that Kees Cook’s privileges be revoked. Turns out that the “git-filter-repo” tool being used was actually the culprit as it is very powerful and incorrect usage explains the changes. Discussion then moves toward implementing safety checks in the tooling. Kees gets his permissions back.
ashaman2007@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Good experience with neko remote browserEnglish7·2 months agoNo, he had access but clearly the router admin interface wasn’t set up to allow remote access. He then needed to access the router from a browser inside the LAN, and he did have the proxmox host configured correctly to access remotely.
Yeah knocking them over while active would probably not be the best, you can even hear the stress on the spindle bearings if you rotate a running hard drive. However you should be free to mount them (securely) in almost any orientation given the discussion in this old post: https://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21533&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Public torrents need your helpEnglish3·3 months agoOne thing to check is whether you are receiving “Incoming” connections on other torrents (the I flag in Qbittorrent peer status). If you are, port forwarding is probably working, its just that maybe nobody in those torrents’ trackers and DHT are requesting it
Lmao this is amazing. The future is now…
ashaman2007@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Random people started sharing child pornography on my matrix server, what are my options?English28·4 months agoThe openSUSE matrix server had this happen last year, and the admins came up with a good solution of bots that seems to keep things very clean now. I’m sure they might be happy to help if you asked in their admins group
If you set up the system like openSUSE then it makes sense snapper would work. I’d look at the openSUSE docs, its not like btrfs is different in Gentoo right? https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:BTRFS#Default_Subvolumes

ashaman2007@lemm.eeto Linux@programming.dev•Arch is the most newbie friendly distro, apparently71·5 months agoYeah… I’m laughing at this guy saying the AUR is much better than installing from a random Github repo. Same level of trust haha.
Also, not everybody NEEDS to know how something works to use it. And, just getting someone onto Linux in the first place with a 90% working system seems better to me than them working hours and hours to build a minimal system in Arch … because it would take even more hours to replicate their workflow on Windows or Mac. I think this is a great example of “perfect is the enemy of good” when trying to get people to adopt something.
However, I definitely believe that if you want perfection, you go to Arch or a derivative and you do it yourself, no automation. But that should be a choice… I do plan on one day switching from Tumbleweed to Arch, but I am not ready for the time commitment. Plus, NVIDIA finally fixed their shit, so I want to enjoy playing games for a while now that the weird issues and visual artifacts caused by the old non-explicit-sync drivers are gone!
The GUI version was working a month or so ago, but a recent Tumbleweed update broke openVPN when using port forwarding via natpmpc. Bug report here https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1236718
Wireguard on the Proton GUI client on Linux is experimental, don’t use it except for testing. Use the manual setup, and make sure to test for DNS leaks.
With Linux, you can literally do anything that you want. And lots of people are already doing just what you describe, making pretty and functional Desktop Environments and compositors for anyone to use. As a beginner I’d encourage you to check out all the major Desktop Environment options first. You can usually get any of these in most major distros (Cosmic may be less available and mature right now).
Article with others https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/best-linux-desktop-environments/
Then you can get into compositors, plugins, and other customization, where you can make your system look almost exactly how you want it:

https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth
https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri
These just happen to include tiling because I love tiling haha… I’m sure there are other non-tiling projects you could try out as well.
Edit: sounds like you may have already rejected a bunch of the status quo Desktop Environments as too boring haha. Then I would encourage you to check out Cosmic, and then the experimental tiling compositors I listed above… I’m sure you will find them unique at the very least!
This is hilarious… after bailing from using the run file a couple months ago and going back to the 550 driver due to instability, I finally decided to install the 570 manually today. Should have waited LOL, the timing…
ashaman2007@lemm.eeto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Moving from iOS to GrapheneOS, need guidanceEnglish5·7 months agoThe ultimate in privacy for YouTube is Invidious https://invidious.io/, which fully proxies your videos from YouTube through an Invidious server. Every once in a while YouTube will get the upper hand and figure out how to fingerprint and block the servers, but so far the community has always figured out how to circumvent it. One advantage is that you can feasibly use a VPN with Invidious; without it, you have to keep hopping from VPN server to VPN server until you find one YouTube hasn’t already blocked, especially on a large public VPN like ProtonVPN. This applies to NewPipe as well, since NewPipe still tries to talk to YouTube directly as far as I understand. On Android I use Clipious as the app to access the Invidious servers.
ashaman2007@lemm.eeto Games@sh.itjust.works•New report claims gamers spend more time watching videos about gaming than playing gamesEnglish6·8 months agoI have to ask if you have ever watched professional level StarCraft 2. Because those people play at an insane level of multitasking and optimization and it is actually beautiful to watch in many cases. The stuff they do is often not even achievable by the average player. I’m sure there are other examples in FPS games and other genres, but what professional RTS players do definitely pushes the level of human cognitive ability.
The obvious barrier to entry here is knowing the game, as you can’t really appreciate things fully unless you’ve played at least a little. But I’ll say that I started off watching LowkoTV and he was entertaining enough to watch until I finally decided to try out the game, and then came to appreciate it even more after that.
Obviously using in game portals to related content creators to push more ads is idiotic, just saying the recognition of the importance of gaming content creators to the games themselves isn’t inherently a bad thing.
