  • Linux during the mid to late 90s (Windows 95 and 98 era)

    Jump

  • For me, educational stuff was all windows with a small amount of macs and I don't think I ever saw a Linux system in actual use anywhere.

    Linux systems started being common in CompSci schools around mid-90s, around the time LAMP took off (fun fact, Apache, MySQL and PHP were all launched in 1995).

    Previously in CompSci you'd get to use all kinds of UNIX servers. My uni still had Solaris servers with dumb terminals, and I got my first sysadmin certification on SCO.UNIX / OpenServer.

  • RegreSSHion Mitigation Debian Stable?

    Jump

  • They patch stuff like this fast because it's a remote exploit. Local privilege escalation exploits are fixed much slower.

  • Now i gotta try it

    Jump

  • It's obviously someone who forgot their gmail password and is trying a bunch of words to see if they remember it.

  • [SOLVED] Fedora 40 won't boot with Kernel 6.8.10 or above

    Jump

  • See if it's the swap, disable zram and/or add a swap file.

    Doesn't have to be a swap partition, you can create a file, format it as swap and assign it in /etc/fstab.

    Btw when you say you don't have swap do you mean you don't have regular swap file/partition (because you have zram swap) or you don't have swap at all?

  • Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73%

    Jump

  • I am still hoping it will hit 10% market share within my life time.

    Do we really want that?

    We have it pretty good right now. I would actually say we're living in a golden age of desktop Linux: there's constant innovation, good support, you get to do pretty much everything you need, while flying under the radar.

    Linux has won the majority of the industry (servers, mobile etc.) so it's not like it has anything left to prove.

    If it starts getting noticeable on the desktop I fear we're just gonna get negative attention. Users who take and not contribute, because Windows had taught them to be entitled. Unwanted attention from Microsoft, who I bet are not going to be doing nice things once they start getting paranoid about it.

    I really don't think that large companies like Adobe will care about Linux even at 10% and even if they did, they are a super toxic company nowadays, the least we get to interact with them the better.

  • Privacy@lemmy.ml: An open source two factor auth app that syncs keys between devices?

    Jump

  • Many people have a warped understanding of what "two factor" means.

    They conflate it with devices and they think it means that one of the factors (why one? which one? who knows) needs to be restricted to exactly one device.

    What "two factor" really means is that you should have more than one required factor of authentication so that if one is compromised the attackers still can't get in.

    Ideally the factors should be spread across the "something you know" / "something you own" / "something you are" categories to complicate the manner in which they can be compromised.

    We can only reliably rememeber a limited amount of passwords, so like it or not we have to use some devices at least some of the time.

    The trouble with "something you own" is that it can be lost or damaged or stolen, and if you only have one of it then you're fucked. So adding some redundancy is not a bad idea.

    The larger issue is that everybody is stuck into extremely rigid and outdated mindsets that date back decades. "Two factors" don't have to be exactly two, and they don't have to include exactly one password, and so on. It should be fine if you wanted to secure your account with 3 passwords, and should be up to you if one of those password is a barcode tattooed on your taint so you need a mirror and to bend upside down to scan it.

    Bottom line, use whatever you want and use your best judgment as to how secure is each factor. If you want to use something that syncs to multiple devices, go ahead. What you should consider is who has access to those devices and how it would affect you if they're lost or stolen.

  • Yes, SimpleX Chat is now on Flathub.

    Jump

  • They're more like PO boxes in this case.

  • STOP INSTALLING DEBIAN

    Jump

  • I would uninstall the screensaver so fast if I saw a nag screen. Wtf it's a screensaver, what does it matter? I'll use a version that's 50 years old if I want to.

  • Finally coming around to using Linux. How's it on a tablet?

    Jump

  • You can get a small Bluetooth keyboard. They make them really tiny, for this exact use case (smartphones and tablets).

    Since this is a Surface you can probably find one that's been specifically designed to integrate with it (act as a cover).

  • Trying to install glib2-devel on Manjaro but to no avail. Any workarounds?

    Jump

  • glib2-devel is available in Manjaro.

  • Trying to install glib2-devel on Manjaro but to no avail. Any workarounds?

    Jump

  • glib2-devel is present on all Manjaro branches.

  • Trying to install glib2-devel on Manjaro but to no avail. Any workarounds?

    Jump

  • glib2-devel is a core package and pacman should be able to install it directly. Have you updated your package mirrors and upgraded the system since you installed the machine?

  • Can you have local reverse proxies?

    Jump

  • Alright, have fun with that. 🙂

  • Can you have local reverse proxies?

    Jump

  • If you mean to do that in the public DNS records please note that public records that point at private IPs are often filtered by ISP's DNS servers because they can be used in web attacks.

    If you don't use your ISP's DNS as upstream, and the servers you use don't do this filtering, and you don't care about the attacks, carry on. But if you use multiple devices or have multiple users (with multiple devices each) eventually that domain will be blocked for some of them.

  • Can you have local reverse proxies?

    Jump

  • Generally speaking, a subdomain like jellyfin.myhome.com will work out much better than a subpath like myhome.com/jellyfin.

    Very few web apps can deal well (or at all) with being used under a subpath.

  • [Manjaro XFCE] How do you connect an Xbox 360 controller wirelessly?

    Jump

  • It's not. Series X and series S use native Bluetooth and work with xpadneo. Older controllers use their own proprietary receiver that needs to be plugged into the machine and work with regular xpad.

  • Gradience Linux Theming App Has Archived its Github - OMG! Ubuntu

    Jump

  • Probably a better idea would be to leave it archived. Whoever wants to take over can fork it and prove themselves by showing their work.

    The xz debacle has shown that there are risk involved in an established developer endorsing an unknown one.

  • RCS vs SMS/MMS?

    Jump

  • It will go through Google servers if you want to talk to an Android user... If Apple implemented RCS only for its own users there wouldn't be much point to it. 🙂

  • RCS vs SMS/MMS?

    Jump

  • You just need an app that does this transparently.

    Oh wait, that's why Google isn't letting anybody else use RCS. 😄
