Company: Here is a security vulnerability in your OSS project, please fix our production is vulnerable.

Random Guy working on OSS library in his free time: Sure, I have some time next month.

Random Guy works full-time, has a family and friends. Random Guy is not your supplier and has no obligations and warranties WHAT SO EVER, even implied. That’s what the license of his project says.

If Company wants it fixed, they better allow him to work full time on it, or pay part time work. Or they pay someone else to maintain Project and send the changes to Project so Random Guy can take a little look and merge if he feels like it. Random Guy won’t just merge company code and be done with it, more code in a codebase needs to be maintained now after all.

This also works with features of course. The time of Random Guy is valuable and if Company wants Random Guy to work on something they use, they’d better pay good money for that time.

I didn’t really consider that there are feeds for such things, especially for my distro(s). Embarrassing, but it means you helped making me safer!

I’m now subscribed to the Debian security list, seeing as all my servers run Debian. I just had unattended upgrades with Mail logs before.

Didn’t know this existed. Just subscribed. Thanks

It is really informative! Spread the word.

There is. Just use a media creation tool, like Rufus. dd’ing onto a drive is a hack.

Recently, I learned that booting from a dd’d image is actually a major hack. I don’t get it together on my own, but has something to do with no actual boot entry and partition table being created. Because of this, it’s better to use an actual media creation tool such as Rufus or balena etcher.

Found the superuser thread: https://superuser.com/a/1527373 Someone had linked it on lemmy

This guy is completely mad

That one is not that complicated if you don’t think about the math. It’s basically just if we interpret the float as int and add a magic number we have a good estimation.

From what I remember at least, it’s been a little while since I implemented it.

I second this. Wireguard, openvpn, various docker containers offering these, I’ve been through with them.

The regular openvpn or wireguard tools are good if you only need a dumb von, but if you want some kind of special routing or overlay network, tailscale has just been so easy.

I selfhost it completely too, using a headscale control server.

Dont dare to insult the pinnacle of text editing.

So ist this an http proxy? I don’t quite get it.

Besides the mentioned tools, you can also just use disk encryption and discard the secret used to unlock it.

That’s exactly right. With a large cult following him.

Sure hate is an opinion, but an extreme one. And history tells countless stories on how that’s bad.

Netcup offers it with their groupware. I assume it’s just a mail cow stack.

I’m currently daily driving LMDE after some time. For OP it probably won’t matter so choosing main line mint might be better.

Linux Mint all the way.

Yeah that happens. I don’t like it too, it’s lazy writing at least.

Can you identify it stylistically?

Probably not 100% of the time, but yeah. Most times, it’s identifiable.

If there were various Simpsons style comics and tv shows but you don’t like that animation style, would it be fair to lump them together?

I think this doesn’t work. First of all is anime filled with many different styles, but also a much broader field than stuff that looks like the Simpsons. Also, if something is animated similarly to the Simpsons, that does not really say anything about it’s content, just a medium again.

I don’t want it and I think it’s off-putting to see rices of Linux that by and large feature waifu trash backgrounds, but that’s me. I don’t like the visuals and I find the translated dialogue to be both simplistic and hyperbolic as a generality.

That’s totally alright, you don’t need to like it. But you also shouldn’t be putting it down generally. “I don’t like anime” is alright, a statement of opinion, but saying “I absolutely hate anime/manga” is just offensive. Feel free not to like and avoid it, but why hate an animation style that is loved by many.

I personally don’t watch that much anime and don’t read manga at all, but still, there are some diamonds there. It actually made me learn Japanese, and I’m still going strong after 10 Months. Anime gives me and many others comfort and entertainment, sometimes with the ability to break the everyday.

Btw to talk some more about Linux stuff, fcitx5 is pretty amazing. Typing the thousands of Japanese/Chinese and other characters is no easy feat to integrate well I assume, but combined with anthy or mozc it gets the job done really well.

Why throw anime/manga into this same pot? That’s like saying you don’t like movies with real actors as a medium.

The Burgundian lullaby perhaps
