I like how simple and fast runit is. And the added security is nice.

More specifically, it’s the name used by the attacker. Could well be multiple people, or if it’s one person (still almost certainly state-funded, but the state can fund one person), a fake name nevertheless. We have no info about this person’s real life identity. They used a VPN in Singapore, and some people have looked at the times of the commits to try guess a timezone, though that’s not foolproof as they could’ve just been a nocturnal person, or even tried to schedule commits to happen at a time to suggest they’re in a different timezone, though I think the latter is unlikely and overkill.
I think I’ve found myself wishing manpages were more detailed far more often than I’ve found myself wishing they were shorter. In any case a man page or help text should put the most important info/FAQs at the top.
Yeah afaik any AMD card should work out of the box with the Linux kernel, which includes AMD drivers. Never had any problems with my AMD card. Even on Nvidia it worked, admittedly proprietary Nvidia graphics driver updates frequently broke my graphics but downgrading (in a tty or even a chroot if I can’t do it graphically, I think I only ever needed a tty though I don’t think I ever needed to chroot because of an nvidia update) fixed it, and using outdated Nvidia drivers was not too big of a deal, I didn’t notice game performance issues.
And gaming on Linux is completely fine if you don’t have any kind of funky setup (like musl or whatever). The majority of my steam library has native linux versions, those that don’t play fine with Wine/Proton.
Tbh Manjaro has made my system unbootable before with a system update, base Arch has never done that for me. I think Manjaro is just poorly constructed, or maybe it’s bc of all the packages that come pre installed with it causing problems. Minimal installs ftw
By the sounds of it it was an organised social engineering attack. Almost certainly “Jia Tan” is not a real person, or if it is a real person then it’s a case of stolen identity. Even if I were being threatened to put a backdoor in some software I wouldn’t do it under my real name.

If you’re spending money on a book you may as well get a physical one.
Obsidian is proprietary
Yes, I don’t see why not. What else am I gonna do with my organs when I’m dead?
I think the vast majority of people who, even if they have some discomfort around the idea, would not care enough to opt out. The only effect of not allowing opt out, I think, would be to cause considerable distress to those who do care a lot about not donating. I don’t agree with their stance but I don’t think they should be forced to donate, especially if we can get enough organs just from making it opt out instead of opt in
Compose key doesn’t use numerical codes. To type an em dash with a compose key, it’s compose followed by pressing minus 3 times. I set my compose key to Alt Gr
It’s a safe bet that there are others (in FOSS) that remain undiscovered.
I agree, but I don’t think that image (about survivors’ bias) applies to the op meme then, as that would imply that it only seems like open source backdoors are convoluted because we’ve not found the simple/obvious ones
What are you saying? That there are people doing the top version (“I want a backdoor / I ask the corpo to grant me access”) for FOSS but they’re less likely to get caught if they don’t do all the gymnastics?
If I were the co-maintainer of a project I wouldn’t suspect that the person who had been actively contributing for over 2 years had injected malicious code into a binary file to distribute in the tarballs. “Jia Tan” had already gained Collin’s trust by then
I wouldn’t do anything. Your job is to teach, not to discipline. Your students can choose to do or not do whatever work you set them; it’s their education and their choice. Ultimately cheating only affects them and their learning.
Also, seconding the fact that if you give people a graded take home exam that implies open book (including the internet and each other)
I found the equivalent of high school maths in my country to be similarly intuitive and trivial. The kids who think that the maths they’re being taught is obvious will just memorise what the examiners want to see and regurgitate it even if they feel like it’s teaching shapes to a baby. If you are “gifted” and truly do understand it then it shouldn’t be hard to just overexplain (which is what most exam boards are looking for)
Roll up the excess cable into a loop and sellotape the loop to stay in a loop. Maybe looks ugly but nobody else sees it lol.
For the border it’s just css. In your style.css
:
window#waybar {
background-color: @background;
color: @foreground;
opacity: 1;
border: 1px solid @accent;
}
(where those are variables representing my waybar colours, you can ofc use literal values instead)
regardless of which computer I used
That’s really bizarre. I wonder how they did that. So a different computer on a different network with a different email address and everything would still get you banned for ban evasion?
Really creepy too, obviously they’re keeping a lot of data on you to be able to be that thorough.
Forensic data on you is already pretty easy to obtain unless you’re taking special effort to avoid it being taken. Also when you get arrested they take whatever biometrics they like. The info on you those DNA testing companies are getting is info already easily available to the government. I guess if you’re concerned about your DNA being used to tailor ads to you, not just to criminalise you, it could be an issue, but idk I don’t think your DNA can really predict what ads will be effective on you.
