  • Why is Debian always left out of the distro recommendations?

    Jump

  • Fair enough, now i feel a bit ashamed since you are way way more knowledgeable than me. I have only been a Debian user for a year and half.

    I made the reply because i remember that when i was looking to enter into Linux, Debian testing was recommended as a great compromise between stable and unstable.

    My surprise when i went to the Debian wiki and said, pretty ambiguously at that, that i shouldn't use it! Reason being that it wasn't as updated in security patches as stable. No one told me that bit when i was asking. Since i didn't know the risks involved, i took the safe option and went with stable, in the end loved it.

    I have to admit that for your case it makes sense to use it. You know the risks, know where to patch it up, and it helps to contribute to it by testing it and submitting bugs. Thank you!

    I do still think that testing shouldn't be recommended, but i see and agree that it has it's niche where it works and can be great for some people.

    Anyways, i hope i didn't came too hostile in my first reply! Cheers

  • I disagree, the strong points of debian are the stability (long periods of testing, without new changes) and security (by applying security updates quickly).

    Using testing or sid means to forego the strong points. At that point you are better served by other distros which focus on having newer packages.

    Also i would be cautious about using Debian testing (forky).As far as i know its the worst in terms of security. Stable has security update priority over testing. And some people say even sid it's better on that front by having even newer packages.

    Disclaimer: I daily drive debian stable and game on it without hiccups. Rock solid. BUT i have 7 year old amd rig and the games are not demanding.

  • Thoughts on lichess vs chess.com?

    Jump

  • Lichess is great. My recommendation would be to switch over a month so you can see if it has everything you want. You can always use both depending on what tools you like more, i know some people who have a casual account on lichess and another on chess for more serious matchmaking.

    As for chessdotcom, i don't really have an opinion since i have not used it much, they are a for profit but that doesn't mean is unethical per se.

    What i do know it's that what licches offers is a great contribution to the chess world, and for those who have the means, it's worth to support it.

    They offer a complete platform for free. This is huge for people without the means to afford a subscription since it lowers the entry to new and young players.

    As i say before since one is free, you can use both depending the use case! I hope this helps you, i have thank you tho, since i stopped playing chess a few months ago and now i itch to go at it again. Cheers!

  • Some questions about ssh and Overthewire:wargames

  • I will keep it in mind, i will be mindful of commands and flags. No typing without being certain of what each command does.

  • Thank you, even if its simplified, the browser example was really helpful. So in summary, having software up to date and being aware of what you do, should in most cases be safe. I was asking just in case there was some configuration i should do before connecting. With browsing i know that if i use something like firefox and ublock, i should be safe from most malware unless i screw up pretty bad. I will probably research ssh a bit more, as how it works, but you put some fears away. Thank you again.

  • Is Signal messaging really private?

  • Thanks for the explanation!

  • Is Signal messaging really private?

    Jump

  • Since we are on the topic of signal.. im not tech saviie but i have read lots of blogs and people about how secure is the signal protocol. My question is .. how can i be sure that the protocol is implemented as the open source code shows? Please correct me if im wrong but from what i read on their website the apk they provide has the capability to update itself at anytime. So what stops them to change how it works with an update? is it posible to build the apk yourself and stop the ability to update?
