This article is more than little silly, at least for the target audience. These security vulnerabilities are of great concern to system administrators, but it’s overblown to say that Linux gamers everywhere need to worry about these. The two remote code execution vulnerabilities are only a concern if you’re running a ksmbd server. Who’s running a Windows-protocol file server on their Steam Deck?? C’mon now…
They’re nice to have for generally cleanliness, but for dogs with long or curly coats they can be absolutely vital to prevent them from looking like this after a winter walk:
Apartments have apartment numbers, so different apartments would constitute separate billing/shipping addresses. For multiple people living in the same apartment/house (i.e. roommates at the exact same address), they may be SOL.
Edit: Although, on second reading, the address check may only be to prevent multiple entries per account. Emphasis mine:
Multiple registrations from any Steam account holder will be void.
We will use information such as shipping address and/or payment information to eliminate multiple entries.
Those restrictions could be done per account, so multiple Steam accounts at the same shipping/billing address might be fine as long as each account has different payment information (i.e. the accounts don’t have the same owner name and/or credit card). Could still be an issue for someone trying to register a whole family at the same address, if all the accounts are using Mom’s credit card.
It’s covered in the terms and conditions of the sign-up process. Here are the key bits:
I had a propane grill with a natural gas conversion and hookup at one point. Really nice not having to worry about whether there’s enough gas in the propane tank. No discernable difference I could see between cooking on propane vs. natural gas.
I have no idea what it costs to set that up though, that natural gas line setup was already in that house when we moved in. I would have looked into it for my current house, except I’d switched to charcoal before I moved here. Love the flavour of charcoal, but convenient it ain’t.
Oof, yeah, that sounds painful. It does sound like some kind of hardware-related issue, maybe the default settings in the Fedora kernel are seriously aberrant when mixed with one or more of your hardware components? Given the broad range of issues (GPU, network speed, audio), I’d be inclined to suspect the problem was related somehow to something core/common like CPU or mobo. Almost certainly not a pure hardware fault, given the problems didn’t follow the hardware when you changed distros.
Sorry but I just don’t like it. Not to say I think it’s a bad distro it’s just clearly not one for me.
I totally get it. Doesn’t take much of that kind of frustration to leave a bad taste in your mouth. I had some perplexing intermittent lockup issues years ago that turned out to be BTRFS, or at least the issue went away when the VMs were rebuilt with a different root FS. I’m still leery of BTRFS, even though it was a fairly esoteric stack (SLES, ESX, NFS datastores served from a ZFS-backed storage server), so entirely possible the fault didn’t lie exclusively with the filesystem. But I still avoid it, just because I’ve been burned once.
Care to elaborate? Not saying I doubt you, it’s just the polar opposite of my experience and I’m curious why that is.
The frogurt is also cursed.
destroying the ozone layer
This made me ask “wait, is that true” and apparently it is. Super, skin cancer for everyone. 🤦
I think the short answer is that it doesn’t. VaultWarden is currently open source, and no private equity organization can put the genie back in the bottle. If things get really bad then someone would likely fork the open source bits and maintain a pure open source version, in which case there would likely be a procedure to migrate existing VaultWarden installs to the purely open source successor. I don’t think VaultWarden users need to be overly concerned at this point.
It’s a game, heavily inspired by the mixtapes of our shared youth. Some people say it’s not a game, because it doesn’t meet their definition of “game.” Some call it a “walking simulator,” which has a pejorative connotation. I haven’t played it yet, but I plan to, critics and purists be damned.
Government contracting is a grift with a long, long history. I bet if you travelled back in time to ancient Egypt, you’d find military leaders overcharging the pharaohs for security services.
Came into the thread to recommend Abercrombie, glad to see it’s already covered!
That’s how I read it, though clearly others felt the need to ackshually.
They didn’t say TPUSA was founded in 2020, they said one of its founders died of COVID in 2020. Which is true.
It’s an initial proof-of-concept. It’ll be developed into more complex games eventually, that’s not really an issue for it
Except it is an issue, just one being masked by the mountains of cash these companies are burning to provide AI. To increase the depth and complexity and actually store state would require orders of magnitude more energy, compute, memory and storage. The AI bubble is causing very single one of those to become more expensive. At some point the market will call bullshit on these companies (“show us profit, or at least exponential revenue growth, or line go down”), at which point these companies will attempt to download the costs onto their users. When people see the bill and realize what these services actually cost, the whole thing is gonna collapse like a flan in a cupboard.
There is an option to pay for Extended Security Update (ESU) support for Windows 10. It’ll give you access to critical security and Windows Defender antivirus updates, but no fixes or updates to features. There are three ways to pay:
The program would conceivably allow you to kick the can down the road, possibly as far as Oct. 2028. Personally, I opted instead to switch to Linux months ago instead, and don’t regret my choice.
The vast majority of this increase is from people playing on Steam Decks
I believe this is incorrect. The Steam survey break down GPUs by description and the Deck’s GPU appears in the results as “AMD Vangogh”, which only accounts for 0.39% of respondents. That implies that the vast majority of survey respondents using Linux are actually on PC, not the Deck.
Most of the mobile games I play have been mentioned by others, but I’ll give a shout to one I haven’t seen in the thread: Dungeons of Dreadrock. A fun puzzle game with a good amount of content. Free with ads, or ad-free with a onetime purchase; no MTX. Doesn’t offer the same replayability as something like Shattered Pixel Dungeon, but I was happy with what I got.
Some of these bugs don’t even have a fix yet, at least not one that’s committed to the kernel source. The real headline here is that Trend Micro fucked up and blasted the vulnerabilities and proof code to the Linux kernel public mailing list instead of the private vulnerability disclosure email address. They basically gave hackers everywhere a bunch of new zero-day exploits, for free. Absolute clownshoes behaviour.
