Found out about the xz one on Lemmy. Years ago I was briefly subscribed to Bugtraq but that was too much. Now Iโm subscribed to a few OS specific security announcement mailing lists.
We live in severe crises time sadly ๐ Currently reading a book by Gabor Matรฉ about addiction and drug addicts, including workaholics and people addicted to shopping . It mentions how stress can deprive us from good sleep. Sleep is very important. On the other hand my own experience is that too much sleep can be as bad as too little sleep. What gives me energy is staying away from bad food and drinks and be very conscious about what to consume. Things that gets me going on : music, hobbies and work. Of course your mileage may vary. For some medicines can help, for others social interaction is important. Take care!
They havenโt particularly made a comment on the situation so much as acknowledged itโs happening. They seem to be going with the story that they had nothing to do with it and this is news to them. Hope to hear more from them soon so we can find out more about the situation, how and why this happened, etc....
Greentings As youve seen from the the title, i want to get a new printer as a present for my parents. Sadly they are still windows peasants and my mom somehow thinks that the HP printer on her desk has been a good financial investment, even though it has costed us more than 300 bucks in ink over the past 2 years....
Ubuntu Snap Store looked messy years ago. Why let people upload half baked software and experiments, which get no updates, but add to search engine results ? snapcraft.io/search?q=testWeโve found 815 snaps
I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). Iโm curious what other people do.
#showerthoughts The problem is in upstream and has only entered Debian Sid/unstable. Does this mean that for example bleeding edge Arch (btw) sshd users are compromised already ?
Greedy, yes. But also lots of people believe since long ago that some things on the Internet should be โat no monetary costโ (gratis) It should become common for people to donate money for some things even if it is very little.
Why the CAPS ? Many years ago there were a zillion freeware and shareware clipboard applications for Windows. Why ? Because people who knew a little bit of programming wanted to make some money. Nowadays open source developers create and share applications simply because they can. I say that getting software for free made by unpaid developers should get a little bit of respect rather than rage. Glad to see the OP is keeping their cool.
Fair enough. It was just the caps and the wtf rage that made me comment. Regarding this note taking app, I have the feeling that the Cherrytree note app has been around since years, so I was curious to see what the OP wanted to add as extra features compared to Cherrytree, which is explained in the treedome Codeberg repository. ๐
I installed x11vnc on Mint and it works fine as long as I have a monitor plugged into the server. I want to run the server without a monitor though. That apparently doesnโt work with Cinnamon. I already bought a dummy plug to simulate a monitor but that seems clunky. Is there a better way? Iโm also open to using a different...

It is possible that it is related to how Turkey has been flagging Linux software as malware.
