Chewy7324, to piracy in Streaming site for german synchronisationed movies

The problem is to find those german trackers.

Chewy7324, to piracy in I absolutely love VideoLAN's stance regarding patents

Additionally, companies doing business in the US also follow US laws. If they don’t, they could still be sued overseas (or stop doing business over there).

Chewy7324, to linux in SSH protects the world’s most sensitive networks. It just got a lot weaker

It definitely receives more clicks. I’ve posted this link here a day ago, but arstechnicas title is more engaging. My first thought was whether there’s been another vulnerability found.

That said, this headline isn’t as bad as it could’ve been.

Chewy7324, to linuxmemes in I know it's not safe, but it's doesn't stop me

You’re right, a peer-review system would be a net positive. Should updates be reviewed before publishing? This means updates take longer to arrive.

Chewy7324, to linuxmemes in I know it's not safe, but it's doesn't stop me

Agreed. People should learn to read PKGBUILDs, but given how popular Arch(-based) distributions are, I do think many people won’t bother. Afterall, many people download random things all the time.

I guess it can be assumed that a good number of people read the PKGBUILDs, so at some point malware would be found. A peer-reviewing system would give people a false sense of security, since the AUR is a user repository, where breakage should be expected (compared to the official repos).

Just verify

requires basic programming knowledge or at least some time to get familiar with PKGBUILDs, and then they have to take the time to read it.

Yes, I agree people should at least look up where it loads data from, but people are lazy.

Chewy7324, to linuxmemes in Where they went Tim?

Fortnite uses both BattleEye and EAC, so it’s at least multiple clicks, depending on the implementation even more.

Chewy7324, to linux in Flatpak can look daunting...

In my experience updates aren’t that big. The flatpak cli ux is just confusing to read how much data actually has to be downloaded because of deduplication.

Chewy7324, to linux in How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

My bank disagrees that SMS tan is secure enough 2FA and doesn’t support it.

Chewy7324, to linux in How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

There has to be a device to develop support for calling. Since there’re multiple open source phone projects it’s also not simple to just write an implementation for them. Additionally carriers don’t work all the same (different bands, …), so it’s really not easy to solve with the few resources available. As far as I know much of the development on these phone OS is done by volunteers and pine64 isn’t a big established company either.

Performance and bugs might still be a problem with these relatively young projects. But if all you need is a browser I do believe it might be worth a shot.

In the EU 2FA for banking is required by law which usually comes down to either an Android/iOS app or a chipTAN device. That’s why browser isn’t an option for me. Sadly I don’t think waydroid passes the basicIntegrity check of AOSP [1], so emulation is out of the picture too.

Chewy7324, to linux in December Updates: The Spirit of COSMIC

You mean asdf isn’t a good title? /s

Chewy7324, to linux in Fedora 40 Will Enable Systemd Service Security Hardening

This is great and already used on some distros like NixOS for many services. Regular users won’t notice this change.

[…] you can now set a shortcut to move entire workspaces to another display as well.

Awesome! This makes working with multiple workspaces on multiple monitors so much better. For some reason it’s missing on all DE’s/OS I’ve tried and only found on some tiling compositors like sway and hyprland.

Linux 6.6.6 has also been released, bringing about the end of days, raining fire upon the lands, and setting in motion a new era some may call: 2024. May the cosmic entities save us all.

Great to see the beastly Linux kernel being acknowledged. Happy Holiday!
