I like how simple and fast runit is. And the added security is nice.

More specifically, it’s the name used by the attacker. Could well be multiple people, or if it’s one person (still almost certainly state-funded, but the state can fund one person), a fake name nevertheless. We have no info about this person’s real life identity. They used a VPN in Singapore, and some people have looked at the times of the commits to try guess a timezone, though that’s not foolproof as they could’ve just been a nocturnal person, or even tried to schedule commits to happen at a time to suggest they’re in a different timezone, though I think the latter is unlikely and overkill.
I think I’ve found myself wishing manpages were more detailed far more often than I’ve found myself wishing they were shorter. In any case a man page or help text should put the most important info/FAQs at the top.
There are plenty of guides on how to do a PR online
Yeah afaik any AMD card should work out of the box with the Linux kernel, which includes AMD drivers. Never had any problems with my AMD card. Even on Nvidia it worked, admittedly proprietary Nvidia graphics driver updates frequently broke my graphics but downgrading (in a tty or even a chroot if I can’t do it graphically, I think I only ever needed a tty though I don’t think I ever needed to chroot because of an nvidia update) fixed it, and using outdated Nvidia drivers was not too big of a deal, I didn’t notice game performance issues.
And gaming on Linux is completely fine if you don’t have any kind of funky setup (like musl or whatever). The majority of my steam library has native linux versions, those that don’t play fine with Wine/Proton.
Tbh Manjaro has made my system unbootable before with a system update, base Arch has never done that for me. I think Manjaro is just poorly constructed, or maybe it’s bc of all the packages that come pre installed with it causing problems. Minimal installs ftw
By the sounds of it it was an organised social engineering attack. Almost certainly “Jia Tan” is not a real person, or if it is a real person then it’s a case of stolen identity. Even if I were being threatened to put a backdoor in some software I wouldn’t do it under my real name.
Obsidian is proprietary
Compose key doesn’t use numerical codes. To type an em dash with a compose key, it’s compose followed by pressing minus 3 times. I set my compose key to Alt Gr
It’s a safe bet that there are others (in FOSS) that remain undiscovered.
I agree, but I don’t think that image (about survivors’ bias) applies to the op meme then, as that would imply that it only seems like open source backdoors are convoluted because we’ve not found the simple/obvious ones
What are you saying? That there are people doing the top version (“I want a backdoor / I ask the corpo to grant me access”) for FOSS but they’re less likely to get caught if they don’t do all the gymnastics?
If I were the co-maintainer of a project I wouldn’t suspect that the person who had been actively contributing for over 2 years had injected malicious code into a binary file to distribute in the tarballs. “Jia Tan” had already gained Collin’s trust by then
For the border it’s just css. In your style.css
:
window#waybar {
background-color: @background;
color: @foreground;
opacity: 1;
border: 1px solid @accent;
}
(where those are variables representing my waybar colours, you can ofc use literal values instead)
I agree with that assessment, I’m not accusing Collin of anything. If it is what it seems to be then I feel very bad for him. Just being cautious with wording until things are more settled/until we know more is all.
Tbh, as a current Artix user, I think the Artix documentation is lacking. Their full disk encryption installation guide doesn’t have any UEFI instructions and while they have a wiki, it definitely doesn’t cover a lot of the things that differ from systemd, which is the purpose of the Artix Wiki, ie to cover everything from Arch Wiki which needs to be changed without systemd. I get most of my info from the Artix forums. I even used the Arch wiki installation guide for installing Artix instead of Artix Wiki’s installation guide (it’s only like 3 commands that are different, they use basestrap instead of pacstrap and you install a different init system with basestrap, they use fstabgen instead of genfstab, and artix-chroot instead of arch-chroot (that last one should be obvious though)). I still like the distro ofc, otherwise I wouldn’t use it, but I think it’s lacking in good documentation. Maybe that’s just my perspective after being spoiled by the Arch Wiki for so long though lol. I can’t really speak for many distros though, I’ve not daily-driven many
Any distro that’s well-documented is not a big deal to install and use. Never understood the big deal people used to make (still do sometimes? though I think it’s mostly ironic now) about Arch. I did my first install Arch when I was kinda a dumbass but I just read the wiki (very thorough, btw, still use that wiki nearly daily) and followed the instructions. Especially with Arch, the wiki is so informative it explains the things you don’t know so you understand what you’re doing even though when I first installed Arch I didn’t know what an fstab file was, what the initramfs was, etc. I’ll disclaim that I’ve not installed Gentoo myself, but I hear from people who have installed it that it’s very well documented, so makes sense that newcomers could install and use it if they’re willing to read and learn.
Ubuntu back when it was decent lol. I picked it because everyone said that was a beginner-friendly distro, and I had already used it anyway as my parents had an Ubuntu ASUS laptop when I was little (though atp I didn’t really remember much from using that laptop).
I wonder if this being a digital billboard is actually cheaper than just hiring some workers to swap out the printed advertisement every, I dunno how often they normally change, week or so?
Damn, Linux distros are doing advertising now
How are you inserting your signature? is it manually? Do you have some kind of keyboard shortcut to insert it?
