LemmyHead,

The chasing scene in Syphon Filter 1 or 2 where it ends with one guy hanging on to a helicopter and you gotta shoot him down. I loved the whole scene + music.

Old Pokémon games: catching a legendary with a normal pokeball. Defeating the legendary four (or whatever they were called) for the first time

Witcher 3, the sad story of the Baron (bloody Baron?)

Crash bandicoot, being able to reach the really high gem

Oddworld, having saved enough slaves to win the game

LemmyHead,

As KVM is part if the Linux kernel, I assume you’ll have to look into kernel hardening instead, next to OS hardening. Hardware is also important to consider when talking about VM escaping. A CPU that supports better VM isolation features and encrypted memory

LemmyHead,

I had a positive experience using xmr. But I contacted them about their crappy pgp key months ago, they did nothing. I contacted them about many websites not being accessible from some of their servers, they did nothing.

LemmyHead,

Find someone (online) that can guide you. Make sure you do all the work though, and just let the senior put you KB the right track and only help you with things you’re really stuck at. That’s one way to get the experience you really need

LemmyHead,

Discord channels can also be useful for that

LemmyHead,

I have good experience with brave search, after I moved away from the crap Qwant actually is

LemmyHead,

That’s exactly one of the reasons why I find it shit. It’s not blocked in my country but as soon I need to go abroad, can’t use it anymore. There’s more reasons why it sucks and some of them are recent

LemmyHead,

A more private and secure messenger than WhatsApp, signal and telegram, like simplex

Instagram locked my account and forced me to appeal and send a picture of my face, so I sent a picture of Shrek. They deleted my account

I’ve been a social media hermit for the past 3 years but recently I’ve given up and created a few accounts across different apps again. It’s unreal how strict the requirements are now....

LemmyHead,

They didn’t delete your account. They deactivated it. It’s still worth money to them

LemmyHead, (edited )

xmr.directory also a good source, and kycnot.me

LemmyHead,

Wise also has virtual visa cards you can generate and delete. Great for not being victim to leaks

LemmyHead,

One catch is their website is mostly in German, so support probably as well. Don’t expect decent support

LemmyHead,

Scaleway has educative blog posts about water usage footprint of datacenters and how they’re approaching it more efficiently. Recommended reads

LemmyHead,

Actually no. The thing is just that systemd handles so many things that makes the lives both developers/distro maintainers and users easier, but most of it happens in the background. You can forget about having to learning complexer tools, just do it all via systemd

LemmyHead,

I can understand that it makes it easier to add changes that would benefit systemd and distros in general. I read that they introduced run0 to solve long shortcomings of sudo (I’m not aware of which). That sounds logical.

LemmyHead,

Why do you consider it as poisoning? I’ve heard the argument about not doing things the traditional Linux way (binary logs for example). But if the alternative provides so many benefits, why is it an issue? Systemd is a piece of cake for all parties compared to sysvinit and alternatives, so why is it bad when it solves so many issued, and makes it super easy to use by just adding e.g. a new option to a Unit?

Another example: timers are more complex than cronjobs, but timers offer additional needed features like dependencies, persistence, easy and understandable syntax, and more. So although more complex, once you get the hang of them, they’re a very welcomed feature imo

LemmyHead,

You can still forward to text syslog or to a central logging server like Loki if working with multiple hosts. I still don’t get the issue with binary logs.

LemmyHead,

You can set the space limit for journals logs really low then, to avoid double space usage. As for the last argument, that also was an issue for me years ago because not all tools were compatible with the journald format, but that’s since long fixed now and I’ve not experienced any issue for a long time. Journal logs provide a standard format for all applications, so third party tools don’t need to be compatible with every log format of your applications. And it also comes with great additional features like -b or --since etc. So I still don’t get the issue here

LemmyHead,

I was arguing how it is a very useful tool with many great additions, rather than rely on the: “no old better!” reply based on ignorance. But it looks like your replies have turned full removed, so no point in continuing here to try and educate you.

LemmyHead,

Also a big downside for me but they said because of privacy focus they don’t wanna do that. That said,I’ve been using them happily as a second provider for more than 5y

LemmyHead,

I’m actually happy that they don’t follow the feature bloat trend.

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

LemmyHead,

In Europe we have PSD2 but I dunno if it’s enough to create a full app

LemmyHead,

Arch could use better standard MAC security applied to systemd units like Debian does.
Arch could have an easy few clicks installer, something like a default modern setup.
Live kernel patching.

LemmyHead,

Here’s some more examples:

Systemctl edit: create an extension for the unit file and add some changes
S edit --full: edit the full unit file (and timer too iirc)
S enable --now: enable + start
S disable --now: disable + stop
