I didn’t know memes could smell like they’re old through the screen until I saw this one

Google logo before Corporate Memphis bullshit and the dude using a feet to hold his cup of tea just like the classical antiquity raptor, it’s just perfect

IP is like an address to a big skyscraper where a company operates. You are the delivery man and must go to 201.154.76.19 and deliver something. When you get at the reception, you tell them you have a package to deliver to Mrs HTTPS, at room (port) 443. Since Mrs HTTPS is well known and has cleared your entry before, you’re allowed to enter this room and only this room.

If you were to get at the same address and try to access other rooms you would either get refused because they are closed, or if open, someone would specifically need to be in the room so you can deliver something

Malicious actors that wanted access to the building could try to disguise their deliveries and enter the building, that’s why the default policy of most firewalls is “reject” and you specifically need to open a port and have a program listening to it if you want incoming connections.

Considering it’s almost always 30°C+ 60%+ RH at least half of the year where I live, yes

Refrigerating them increases their shelf life significantly in these conditions

It’s probably less effective in other cooler and drier climates

For those who use Wayland and autostart, don’t forget to edit

<span style="color:#323232;">/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>

from KDE5: Session=plasmawayland

to Plasma6: Session=plasma

to confirm the exact name, check what is available under /usr/share/wayland-sessions/

if you’re stuck, try pacman -Q | grep -i kde and pacman -Q | grep -i plasma and remove everything related, then fresh install plasma-meta or plasma group and it should work

My most paranoid config is disabling Ipv4

That’s it. If someone wants to attack me, they will need to adopt IPv6!

"A qsort vulnerability is due to a missing bounds check and can lead to memory corruption. It has been present in all versions of glibc since 1992. "

This one amazes me. Imagine how many vulnerabilities future researchers will discover in ancient software that persisted/persist for decades.

I thoroughly backup up my slow nvme before installing a new faster one. I actually didn’t even want to reuse the installation, just the files at /home.

So I mounted it at /mnt/backupnvme0n1, 2, etc and rsynced

The first few dry runs showed a lot of data was redundant, so I geniously thought “wow I should delete some of these”. And that’s when I did a classic sudo rm -rf in the /mnt root folder instead of /mnt/dirthathadthoseredundantfiles

Interception by a third party is highly unlike, as the transport layer of basically everything is encrypted nowadays. What is left unknown is what can Meta do once the file is on their servers, as you’ll have to trust Zuckk’s word and Zuckk’s encryption
