Someone already had that idea 200 years ago, Larry. It doesn’t work.

It was a bit like that with the Zero as well. All those tools existed as separate packages, and some were bundled, but the complete feature set and the form factor made it the best wireless signal analysis tool on the market.

I wish I had the skillset to help with this. The zero was a very cool little toy

I would assume this was trying to deliver malware if I ever saw it

I don’t have the patience to switch to alternatives until they make a change that actually affects the usability of the tool.

This is absolutely a red flag though.

Jarczak’s fork crossed the line by injecting falsified identity metadata into its network communication. “In simple terms: it pretended to be the official Bambu Studio client when communicating with our servers.”

If it’s easy enough to get access to your cloud infrastructure by just changing some metadata about the connection, then you really should re-think your authentication systems. If I were to publish the exact model and pinning of the lock on my house, it would be silly of me to be mad that someone used that to make their own keys.

PSA for anyone that might have a PSP sitting in a box somewhere:

Go and check on the battery and make sure it hasn’t turned into a spicy pillow. Out of a sample size of 3 between mine and a couple friends, 2 of 3 were bursting out of the shell and required disposal.

If your PSP battery is still good, look into charging it and playing some PS1 games on the go. It was the best feature of the console.

Could they not also just selectively ban all Utah-based IPs?

People in Utah could still access with a VPN, but never would, because that would be against the law.

But Kamala was going to support Israel or something…

This is not a contest to be holier than thou. It’s a numbers game.

EFF stayed on Twitter because it has a larger audience and that means a larger portion of people will see their messaging. In fact, I would argue that the people that are still on Twitter are the ones most in need of seeing those messages. The people that care about what Debian is posting are almost certainly already on Mastadon.

“Not every ‘WTF micro$oft’ moment is a slam dunk,” he tweeted. “I’ve emailed VeraCrypt personally and we’ll get him unblocked. I’ve already talked to Jason at WireGuard. Not everything is a conspiracy, sometimes it’s literally paperwork.”

Funny how paperwork never really seems to be a problem for any other OS.

Librewolf is exactly the same browser with all the security features dialed to 11 and all the AI removed.

If the end user can arbitrarily sign code themselves that is bootable then it kind of defeats the purpose of secure boot.

The whole idea is that it makes it impossible to start if the chain of trust is broken.

unless you’re a sysadmin or a power user, no, not really.

I get what you’re saying, but it’s not really true.

If the only program you run is a web browser, then you’re probably right, but only because Linux expects you to know how to use your computer and install updates yourself.

Linux has achieved a very stable OS that offers a very granular experience, which is great if you know what you’re doing, but if you don’t, it’s pretty arcane. The ability to configure everything on your system exactly how you want it to run is a double edged sword.

If you want anything beyond what is offered out of the box, you’ll need to interact with the terminal at some point, which is a pretty steep learning curve for the average user.

Windows has a built-in feature for this

It still is if you’re willing to jump through enough hoops

Generally, they know you’re using a VPN because of where your traffic is coming from.

They probably block Digital Ocean’s IP pool as a whole as it’s often a hub for cybercrime and it would only affect a fraction of users.

I assure you, the rare security issues for password managers are far preferable to managing compromises every couple weeks.
