  • The creator of systemd wants to bring SecureBoot-enforced hardware attestation to Linux

    Jump

  • This is needed. Servers need it, and it would be a nice feature to enable for personal systems. We would need to be able to build our own images with our own keys to really make this worthwhile. Especially with programs in my bin dir I’ve compiled or downloaded.

    Do I trust Lennart to not do something asinine to turn this into a shit show? I do not. This would be better if it was someone who has security experience and system design cred.

  • Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.

    Jump

  • The devs won’t optimize anything. Our problems are not their problems.

    Optimization happens when people have time to sit down and reason about the code. A hardware crunch isn’t going to give people more time. The assembly line is going to run at the same pace regardless, and devs are going to churn out the same junk they always have.

    It isn’t a lack of limited hardware holding them back. Old, junky hardware has existed since nearly the beginning of the information technology, so a hardware crunch isn’t going to affect anything.

  • Famously, Nvidia drivers contain hacks for lots of games. Nvidia takes the crappy games and writes work arounds into the drivers to make the games work.

  • Save as PDF

  • We should. It’s a good abstractions for document conversion.

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

    Jump

  • GPU drivers and DEs lagging behind, mostly.

    Something like Fedora which releases newer code quicker will provide a better desktop/laptop experience. It’s the same reason other stable distros, like the EL distros, aren’t the best for desktops/laptops.

    Historically, desktop applications would also be versions behind, but Flatpak really helps with this.

    At this point, Debian is probably fine as a distro for a few year old computer that won’t be helped by fractional scaling. Pick a DE and install applications from Flathub.

  • No, not at all. Most Americans aren’t being threatened by immigrants. There are a few places where the uber rich immigrants flock to, but people in Average America, Iowa aren’t competing with immigrants.

    Immigrants create more jobs due to an increased need for services. Immigrants are a net positive to an area, and they can fill in skill gaps.

    Capitalists can keep wages low by rigging the game via bribing politicians to reduce social programs. They don’t need immigrants to do that. They need immigrants as scapegoats. They need people to buy into their warped view of the world, and they need people to turn against each other, like you’re doing here.

    Capitalists use sticks, live poverty, homelessness, and healthcare, to keep people inline and eating up their bullshit. Without the sticks, the capitalist have no power, and they know this.

  • Vim/Emacs + Some Markup Language + LaTeX Template + Pandoc

  • Yeah, word processors are garbage.

    Oddly, Google Docs is the least junky one, probably because JS had a bunch of limitations at the time it was started, and Google had to limit the features.

    I’ve been pretty happy with Pandoc, some LaTeX, and scripts. It’s not for everyone, but it works for me.

  • How has immigration affected the average voter?

    Tasty ethnic food. There are tasty tacos around, some good Pho, there was an Ethiopian place around here, and tabouli with BBQ.

    The remaining Caribbean place around here is really disappointing and the pulled pork is dry, so there is that.

    There, there little guy. Why don’t you stand up your own blue sky server?

  • The ridiculousness of hauling a RPi around everywhere I go so I can access files on a flash drive is exactly the point. LOL

    Although, something like the NitroKey Storage is close to the same thing. It’s a small computer with flash storage. Packaging, I guess. LOL

    Veracrypt would be one more thing to bootstrap when standing up a new computer, and I’d like to keep the amount of prep work I have to do to a new box before it’s usable to a minimum.

    Endlessly tweaking systems to get it into a usable state is why I left Windows, and like to keep the complexity in my life to a minimum.

    Honestly, it’s only annoying when moving between FOSS operating systems. MacOS not supporting luks, or whatever, is slightly annoying, but FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Linux not agreeing to make me shake my head.

  • I’ve thought about Doom, but I haven’t gotten around to trying it out. Finding the time to sit down and learn it hasn’t been a high priority.

  • I have, and it introduces a dependency, which can be a problem when software can’t be installed. I’d rather have support as part of the base OS.

  • Interesting. I’ll check those out. 🙂

    I’ve looked at osquery. It was all the rage for a minute in the monitoring industry when Facebook released it, and then it didn’t really go anywhere.

  • Many of the chipsets used in older laptops don’t have Linux drivers or firmware for some chips. Oddly, more recently modern laptops have better support.

    The 2012 MacBook Air uses the Broadcom BCM943224PCIEBT2 chipset, which is flaky under Linux when it’s working. At least that was my experience with my Mac Mini. Broadcom doesn’t like people using their hardware, especially that era, so they’re a problem.

  • Nvidia. I ordered a refurbished ThinkPad P1, and it showed up with a Nvidia card. There are problems waking up from sleep and sessions crashing that I don’t have with the iGPU devices which have FOSS drivers.

    Electron apps. They eat RAM, but it’s the only way some apps are delivered.

    MacOS can setup independent virtual desktops on each monitor, but Gnome has independent virtual desktops on only the main monitor with the others static. It can be set for all the monitors to change at the same time, but that’s not what I’m after.

    LUKS is Linux only. There isn’t a cross platform way to do FDE on removable media.

    Efi partitions use FAT FS. Why is this in the spec?

    Only some manufacturers support LVFS. There isn’t a standardized mechanism for firmware updates, and many manufacturers don’t bother.

    Gnome doesn’t have a profile export feature.

    BTRFS is still a work in progress after all these years. Subvolume space quotas still aren’t recommended for use and encryption is “coming soon”. The tooling is a mess, no per subvolume mount options, no converting an existing folder to a subvolume. It mostly works, but ZFS is still nicer.

    LibreOffice doesn’t have an “easy” mode similar to Google Docs and it doesn’t have a vim mode. Sometimes I just want to write, and not fiddle with every little detail.
