I watched SomeOrdinaryGamers for a few years and it became quite uninteresting near the end of that period. I stopped completely when he told his audience not to buy Nintendo Switch 2 and went ahead and bought it shortly after. That guy is not honest or genuine.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•[Solved] Terrible performance in Linux Mint compared to WindowsEnglish
1·8 days agoSure, but that’s much harder to do undetected. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Secure Boot still prevents against particular types attacks.
I have been using T14s Gen 6 (AMD) for over a year now and it works perfectly

21·9 days agoIf you have to choose between one, then yes; full disk encryption is superior. But they should ideally be used in tandem.
Without secure boot, you are vulnerable to evil maid attacks. A bad actor can modify your bootloader (which has to remain unencrypted) in a way that allows them to steal your encryption keys. Secure Boot prevents running unsigned bootloaders, which negates this risk.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) is a trivially exploitable logic bug in Linux, reachable on all major distros released in the last 9 years. A small, portable python script gets root on all platforms.
13·10 days agoBLOB already includes “binary”. That’s what the first B is for.
Sorry, couldn’t stop myself.
Oh, didn’t know Forgejo was ever intended to have federation. That’s so cool!
I’d say go with LineageOS

Linux@lemmy.ml•Timing Flaw in systemd Cleanup Enables Root Privilege Escalation
21·1 month agoI don’t see how systemd is in wrong here. Curious, what would you change about it?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Timing Flaw in systemd Cleanup Enables Root Privilege Escalation
7·1 month agoWhen I need to create scratch files I usually operate in
/tmp. Almost all directories there that I saw were using randomized paths (e.g. UUIDs). I guess this is to prevent problems mentioned in the article. So, I believe this would be a vulnerability of snap, not systemd.I use Fedora where
/tmpis created as tmpfs, which lives in RAM and is cleared when the system is shut down. I wonder what’s the benefit of Ubuntu’s approach.

51·1 month agoDo they imply Wayland forces apps to have CSDs? It is only GNOME that does it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB fieldEnglish
125·2 months agoIt doesn’t need to know your age. It just provides a way to take a note of your birth date, only if you want to. The system already has a place to write your name and home address. All are optional and practically nobody uses them.

366·2 months agoSystemd isn’t an init system. Systemd-init is an init system and it is a part of the systemd suite.
Well, some people called me paranoid and said “us regular people don’t have anything to hide” when I told them how much data Meta collects about us. Of course, this frustrated me as my threat model is very small compared to most people here.
I explained how free services where instead the user is the product work, and how much I disagree with this model. I informed them that I use FOSS almost everywhere and that they exist for the greater good of humanity.
Signal’s not great for privacy either tbf
Why do you think so? Yeah, it is not anonymous due to requiring a phone number, but all media and metadata are end-to-end encrypted.



Sorry, but posting an article and changing it’s title (which also turned click-baity) with no comments of your own is quite uninteresting.
