Easy Sandboxing on Linux with Bubblewrap https://lobste.rs/s/stehhb #linux #security

I had to replace #FreeBSD with #Linux on my old laptop at home serving as a streaming server for movies mainly. The only reason is low internet speed. The laptop came with an Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 Plus Bluetooth wireless card, both the iwn and iwlwifi successfully bring it up and connect. However, neither driver worked well enough to achieve as fast as 1M/s speen when downloading large files. After installing #Debian downloading speed easily goes up to as 2M/s when downlading the same large files.

Yesterday I compiled the Asahi fairydust kernel. Today I work on that machine. Great OS. Thanks @AsahiLinux

I think the most important question is: why does anyone comply with what one incurious, self-centered, and self-important man, Linus Torvalds, says?

Why is that most important? Because Linux does not belong to Linus Torvalds. It belongs to the world. Torvalds only gets to dictate if the people who are best-positioned to take that power from him fail to do so. From where I sit (as an outsider), he should have been removed from the project, or at least have his dictatorial power removed, long ago, and the primary problem is that there is no structure or will to actually do that.

Under these conditions Linux is a hierarchical, and therefore right-wing, project. The project allows a single man to dictate the future evolution of a global good. Let's drop the illusion that it is "free" or "open" till that changes.

Hey Linux bubble, please help me out...

Should I ditch Arch Linux and install the good old Debian on my desktop PC instead?

Clock is ticking, last backup is running, boost would be nice...

Woke up this morning to discover that, after an update, Microsoft no longer trusts me to edit my own files and folders on my own external hard drive. I was trying to update a portable application and the usual warning popped up that was asking me, was I sure I wanted to paste these files? And I better do it with administrative rights, even though I am the fucking administrator of this Gods damn PC, so I hit continue with administrative right. You do not have permission to edit these files. I am the fucking administrator, you dolts. I am not a casual user, endless screaming. Gods, I wish #Linux was... just better at screen reader accessibility overall, but just... *sigh* I am gonna be one of those seniors that movies love to mock where they know nothing of technology because I'll just stop doing new tech things. #Microsoft

California and Colorado legislated that Linux distributions, being free and open-source, are exempt from the age verification in operating systems, unless they are proprietary like SteamOS (and Windows).

Too bad the systemd developers already complied with fascism in advance before the bills were even finalized.

Will Lennart Poettering and his followers now please remove the birthDate field from systemd?

P.S.: If you reply with any variation of "You need to calm down," I will block you.
