Not isolated to this community either. I’ve been noticing it in a few others as well. Kinda bothersome as it snuffs out posts worth climbing to more visibility. Not sure if voting is still visible on some end, but maybe someone will look into it and figure something out eventually.
These are exploited by malicious processes doing something to the hardware which may result in information about your process(es) being leaked. Now, if this is on your computer, then the chances of encountering a malicious process that exploits this hardware bug would be low.
However, when you move this scenario to the cloud, things become more possible. Your vm/container is being scheduled on CPUs that may/may not be shared by other containers. All it would take is for a malicious guest VM to be scheduled on the same core/CPU as you and try exploiting the same hardware you’re sharing.
I have Nano 7 as well and I tried many things over the years. However there isn’t a good solution to this. I have a Windows 7 VM just for my iPod and installed an old iTunes just to put music on it. You can use Gnome Boxes for this job.
Click on + to select the ISO from file. It will start the installation process. Install Windows 7 with its steps. 20 GB space and 4 GB RAM would suffice for virtual machine.
Once you installed it, start the VM and plug in your iPod. For VM to see it, on right top there is a … menu, go preferences from there. Switch to Devices & Shares tab. It should see your iPod now, just enable it. Also set a shared directory from below so you can put your music files there before uploading them to your iPod. This is the iTunes version I use: www.filehorse.com/download-itunes-64/35820/
Even if you cannot connect to internet (normally that shouldn’t be a problem since VM use the internet through host machine), you can still download the said iTunes outside of the VM and install it via shared folder. In the end you don’t need internet to put iPod some music.
This thread makes me so happy. Following along watching good people on the internet help each other solve problems with each other for no other reason than to be kind. Thanks for being a kind person.
For sure try out olive You can’t do automatic stabilization but manual works fine, However I will always use gyroflow whenever possible anyways. If needed you can easily script motion tracking data from 3rd party sources.
but it is properly color managed throughout the entire editor so doing color correction works properly and accurately. the node system is really powerful despite it’s early nature, and as far as I know olive is the only FOSS editor with proper OCIO integration, which means you get industry standard color management tooling including things like ACES support. You also have OTIO support for importing and exporting editorial cutting information.
the repos are either close to upstream, or they backport security fixes. Everything else is not secure
make working, secure, sometimes branded bundles including Desktop, some apps, some specific software
the bundles get updated and if it is a point release, upgraded to a new set of packages. That is called a "Distro version"
This ensures new features and security fixes
the Distros care about bug reports, work with upstream, getting new contributors, packaging (bundling the packages, presets, libraries into a set with a name, handling dependencies etc.)
Distros also often package and build their own Kernel or multiple ones. These kernels are general purpose most often, even though there is the kernel-hardened or Oracles “unbreakable kernel” (whatever that is). Also there is a lts Kernel that has backported security fixes, as well as other releases of the kernel like git (latest of everything)
Distros take care of the versioning, so not every package is always the latest but tested to work with other packages.
Distros also implement security systems like SELinux and Apparmor with matching configurations
So you see that is highly complex. So stay as close to upstream as possible to get the best experience. I think of the main distros as
Debian + Ubuntu
Fedora + the RHEL stuff or clones (Oracle, Alma, Rocky etc)
Opensuse, SEL
Arch
Gentoo
Alpine (busybox and musl, not real Gnu+Linux)
NixOS
GUIX
ClearLinux
Coreboot (yes that is a Linux distro)
Slackware and other probably outdated projects
small ones with different focus
All the others are either downstream modifications of these, or less known. Some Line ublue, EndeavorOS etc. also just take an upstream distro and change very little.
Recently got a used X270 for my kid, for school. It came with windows 11, but I put Ubuntu Budgie on it.
It cost me about 220 USD in my currency. Very nice computer.
First you will need to get the VPN up (or be in the office, in the same network to be able to join the AD domain.
Then you need to join the AD domain using realmd. This will join the computer to the AD domain like any regular windows PC. It will set up the Kerberos client, DNS and everything for you (this part is done in sssd).
Once joined you should be able to access the network shares with SMB.
RedHat and deriviates have good support for this. So I would recommend Fedora Workstation, CentOS Stream or RHEL Desktop to set this up in.
But based on OP it seemed to me that the larger intent is to get a Linux workstation set up in an AD environment. He wants to show to his boss it can be done, and this is the most integrated way.
Don’t do it. Instead of doing something useful you will be in a constant process of updating and rebooting and dealing with breaking changes and eventually you will give up and switch back to Leap.
I have used TW for years, and never got bothered by a breaking change for more than a day. And that only happened twice.
The only thing that keeps bothering me with Opensuse is their obsession with asking for a root password (and not for yours if you are an administrator, I mean the root user password) for every damn thing. Even installing a fucking user Flatpak requires a fucking root password !
Like I said, last time I checked even a “user” level Flatpak required to use the root password to install. But it may have changed (for the better) since, which is a good thing.
Still, my main point is that most the paranoia of the default OpenSUSE settings is way overboard, and should be toned down quite a lot. A lot of action that would ask for the user password, if not no password at all, requires the root password on OpenSUSE.
I want to use OpenSUSE over Ubuntu or Fedora, I even started contributing back with some package updates here and there, but I just can’t because of those bothering root password prompts everywhere.
Give a kid the arch install wiki and a computer with the USB iso ready to go. Tell them they aren’t allowed food until they install it and run neofetch.
