An interesting tidbit from Mozilla’s latest privacy release (ghacks.net/…/firefox-120-ships-today-with-massive…):...

My wife and I rarely cook turkey for Thanksgiving. This year we’re coming Cornish hens. In previous years we’ve cooked duck, leg of lamb, and rib roast. It’s not that we don’t like turkey, but there are lots of other things that I think I’d prefer eating....

In North America, using Xfinity for reference. I want to create both a home NAS and offline Wiki/media backup. Problem is to get the amount of data I need would blow through my plan and throttle my speed. I guess I could try and do it over a longer period or download just before the billing cycle renews so even if I go over it...

This morning it was working, and while it was turning off it was taking way too long and I forced-shut it off (hold power button), so afterwards when I would turn it on this would happen, I think that has to do with the problem....

Title. Long,short story: creating or editing files with nano as my non-root user gives (the file) elevated privileges, like I have ran it w/ sudo or as root. And the (only) “security hole” that I can think of is a nextdns docker container running as root. That aside, its very “overkill” security-wise (cap_drop=ALL,...

I have a laptop eith sata and a nvme drive. I installed a few operating systems and I decided on Mint for Sata. Installed it copied data from Nvme drive since I was using it as primary. I installed Nobara on nvme and it worked flawless until a few moments ago. Reboted and Mint is gone from boot options. Tried to add it but...

Hey guys, I’ve been running Mint on my home computer for a little while now and I’m having a great time, however there’s one behaviour from Windows I’m missing. When you hit win + arrows to snap the currently focussed window to the left or right half of the screen, windows will present a dialogue to select a companion...

Is it possible to do it? Is it less hassle than trying to play nice with Google or Microsoft in order not to have your email sent to spam or not received at all?

Decided to dip my toes in so I followed the guide to a website where I can download some content via google drive. Like an idiot, I didn’t research the risks of direct downloads before and so I’m now a bit paranoid. I understand the chances are low and my media player needs to be exploited but is there a way to be certain? A...

It’s known that sneezing is a reflex to prevent dust or nose hairs or whatever from getting down into the lungs, but why do people and animals sometimes get hiccups? What function does that serve, and what causes them?...

I’ve been seeding the torrents that I download since the old days of Limewire, but I’ve always download and re-shared by seeding....

I’m looking for recently published research papers. I’m wondering what are the methods of obtaining recently published research papers apart from methods described in the megathread ?

It feels like social media fakeness is seeping through into real life more and more. and every one is working harder on perfecting their façade ?...

what if I, for example, had a job in Google and I liked Linux so much I install Ubuntu on my Chromebook, would that be illegal/send me to prison?? Or, if I had the job, would I be kicked?? I like Chromebooks because they are so smol and nice. But I don’t know if it’s legal to install a Linux distro on it. Thank you!!

hi I’m still exploring stuff and I was thinking about nix, with all his stuff, what do you guys think? maybe someone with experience can tell me if I should stay away from that or could be a good choice for privacy, anonimity and security

I understand they are important and are what makes linux relatively secure compared to windows....

I am looking for an open source app similar to Apple’s “Find My”, the intention is to give it root permissions and be able to monitor its location from another device and even be able to do a factory reset remotely in case of theft....

Hi everyone !...

I want to run only qBittorrent through my VPN but with my current setup, I have a namespace for OpenVPN and qBittorrent runs entirely through it. The issue with that is that Sonarr and Radarr can’t access it. Because of that, I would like to switch my setup to use a network interface instead. What would be the best way to do...

I use multiple workspaces and I open text files all the time....

When you need to upload a photo to a photo hosting site through a browser, the system file manager opens. When choosing a photo for editing, this also happens through the file manager built into Android. Is there a way to force applications to open my preferred file manager instead of the system one?

Just want to let be known I am very greatful for this wonderful app! I’ve used it every day for months and it has largely defined my experience with lemmy. As a software dev I know how exhausting it can be implementing all these thoughful features and I’m blown away by the quality/feature set. So, thanks!

I migrated here in the US (specifically in San Bernardino, CA). Quick Intro: I’m a graduate electrical engineer; honestly, I really don’t have that much experience and not even a decent internship experience due to covid, resulting in an online OJT. Do you think doing an internship here in the US is the way to go? If yes,...
