  • Polish Train Maker Is Suing the Hackers Who Exposed Its Anti-Repair Tricks

    Jump

  • Statement and more informations from the German CCC alias Chaos Computer Club, a civil rights organization of software tweakers and computer experts:

    https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2024/das-ist-vollig-entgleist

    By the way: The train manufacturer company is suing the people who exposed this, and CCC is collecting donations for their legal support - details on the page linked above.

  • 'Wipe' SSD before reinstalling Linux?

    Jump

  • Depends on how important it is to keep confidentiality.

    Best way to secure already written unencrypted data is probably putting the device into a microwave, and then burning it.

    For new data on Linux, LUKS encryption should probably be fine.

  • What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ?

    Jump

  • Try adding or removing a closing paren. Seems different apps/clients hsndle this differently.

  • DDoS affecting most of the fedoraproject.org services

    Jump

  • Yup, there are attscks. Also ddos on Codeberg and the xz-utils backdoor.

  • Should I eat it and jump to win11?

    Jump

  • I'd say look after your kid and try out Linux a bit later when you have Leisure for it. You can use Linux and Windows in parallel on two computers networked with Samba.

  • So I tried windows tiling...

    Jump

  • You could try also:

    • GNOME PaperWM, a GNOME extension with tiling and endless horizontal scrolling
    • niri
    • StumpWM, a tiling WM with Emacs-like keybindings (and zero eyecandy and waste of screen estate)
    • HerbstluftWM

  • multi boot - Hibernating and booting into another System or Distribution: will my filesystems be corrupted?

    Jump

  • No, I mean hibernate, with the PC turned off. In sleep state, you return to the running kernel/OS, so no possibility to boot into another distro, therefore no risk of filesystem damage.

    The crucial thing is that file systems need to be unmounted before they can be accessed by another distribution or OS.

  • How often do I have to buy a new pixel if I fully degoogle with GrapheneOS? A support question

    Jump

  • firmware updates matter and depend mostly on the chip manufacturer's support.

    Can you give examples for this?

    The deeper problem is that the OS Vendors for phones are already adversial. They want to extract as much pesonal data as possible. IMO, that is not really better than having malware on one's phone.

  • multi boot - Hibernating and booting into another System or Distribution: will my filesystems be corrupted?

    Jump

  • As I wrote above, for any safe access the file systems need to be mounted read-only (which is not the default). Otherwise, listing or viewing a file or directory already changes its metadata.

  • How often do I have to buy a new pixel if I fully degoogle with GrapheneOS? A support question

    Jump

  • Sailfish OS has very long support times and the licenses I got so far are without time limit. IIRC that has changed or might change but still significantly longer than any vendor Android.

  • Here another helpful solution for people who want to evaluate and compare different Linux distributions: GNOME Boxes, a software to easily create virtual machines

    Jump

  • Now I am curious. Is this really web-based? Who has tried it? How useful is it?

  • multi boot - Hibernating and booting into another System or Distribution: will my filesystems be corrupted?

    Jump

  • The other solution is to mount the shared, or borrowed file systems read-only. That works and is safe, but it could suck after a while for being impractical.

  • How do i set up arch linux, with another distro already installed, without wiping the disk?

    Jump

  • Also, just in case that nobody mentioned that already, a good opportunity to learn how to backup and restore your data ;-)

  • How often do I have to buy a new pixel if I fully degoogle with GrapheneOS? A support question

    Jump

  • I can only share experience with Sailfish OS: As long as you don't drop your phone, it will easily last five years and might last eight. It depends of course as well how much you use some of the cancer that the modetn web is. Looking up the Arch Wiki requires a lot less ressources than browsing LinkedIn.
