It's a dumb reason to get banned from an instance. I don't see anything wrong with making an observation other programmers have already made. Thanks for the warning though.
I don't know, they're just security measures you can take. Maybe some personal preference thing. I don't bother with the app guard thing and SELinux is pretty annoying with my Nvidia graphics card but a firewall is something I always setup.
Firewalled for limiting untrustworthy connections to the computer(public networks, hotels, even work).
apparmor for protecting the kernel and controlling file access to applications. SELinux is also a good option but if you need to load kernel modules, it can take a few minutes to sign and register it. It is automated on redhat systems though.
Other than that, do your research and don't run random scripts and install random apps.
Honestly, if your programming your ECU or something. I wouldn't risk potentially bricking your car. It is a tool after all, something like how I prefer mikita over Milwaukee but I'll use it to get the job done if needed.
Edit: ECU software can be a little finicky. Jayztwocents built a PC for his mechanic friend and the application refused to start because it wasn't an Intel CPU.
😄I don't want packages I want programs. That's like a Mac user saying I don't want programs I want applications. Booting up a Mac and saying where's my god dam exe, why doesn't anything work.
Hay, how would you like writing documentation for all these open source projects? We would be ever greatful, you could even put your name in the credits!
The dankest depths of archlinux wiki. Written by a guy so far gone, so war harden by reading through source code and poorly written technical documentation, ancient forums, leaving no stone unturned. A task so twisted it drives most men crazy.
1% of arch users will ever need this wiki and few have gone through this Herculean task. For them, the first draft is enough, it's all you can ask of a mind so twisted and broken. Alas it's as unreadable as the source code and as hard to understand as the forum post from 2009.
I never had any issues. Cris Titus when he was learning to use Linux tried arch for the first time and he was fuming when his system wouldn't boot after installing like 2000 aur packages and applying a kernel update through pacman. Thankfully he had backups.
In any regular situation you can leave the room and come back a few minutes later to your content playing. This potentially will play the ad on repeat until you say what it is basically acknowledging you paid attention to it and know what they are advertising.
It's a shitty pop quiz that doesn't go away on its own. I hate intrusive ads with a passion and would give up modern convince to avoid it.
