drwho, to privacy in Ah yes, smart lights need Tor.

Destination port 123/udp isn’t Tor. That’s NTP.

drwho, to linux in A response to the "Boycott Wayland" article

I’m okay if Xorg dies off. I just hope that the stuff I use everyday works reliably with Wayland before it does.

drwho, to linux in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Committing Fully To Netplan For Network Configuration

The question is, is it going to suck more or less than NetworkManager?

drwho, to linux in systemd 255-rc1 Brings "Blue Screen of Death" Support and New Tool To Spawn VMs

What the actual fuck?

drwho, to privacy in How marketing companies use "Active listening" voice data to target advertising to the EXACT people businesses are looking for

You (and I) are unfortunately part of the small fraction of a percentage point that think and are inclined to act this way.

drwho, to linux in Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup?

Your chances are pretty good if you copy them back - ultimately, that’s what the restoration function of backup software does.

As for ownership of the directories and files, that’s a bit trickier and might involve some trial and error. root:root is a safe bet for most of it, but there is a lot of stuff in /var that is owned by system accounts.

What distro are you running? That’ll help figure it out.

drwho, to linux in Something to ruffle some penguin feathers: The Unix Hater's Handbook

A classic! Way back when it used to be recommended on as a good introductory text (until O’Reilly started publishing books on Linux, anyway).

drwho, to privacy in UK porn watchers could have faces scanned

I’m surprised they don’t want to scan something else.

drwho, to privacy in Was forced to use a third party to fill a rental application. The application failed and now they're demanding significantly more sensitive information than what I ever provided before they'll comply. In UK. This can't be legal?

Yup, pretty normal.

drwho, to linux in Follow-up to installing Arch

What boot loader are you using? That is what allows you to pick between what OS (in your case, drive) to boot at power-on.

Are you using UEFI for this?

drwho, to linux in Your favorite linux projects for weekend

I’m going to be building out a third wireless access point with OpenWRT to get better wireless coverage in the house.

drwho, to linux in Thoughts on this?

Neither do I. I’ve had a sensor net watching for Wayland news (because sooner or later I’m going to have to migrate to it, just want to know when) but so far there hasn’t been any executive summary.

drwho, to linux in New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

That is simple. About as simple as it gets. The more complex method involves figuring out what VPN software Mullvad really uses, figuring out your keying material, fighting with NetworkManager…

tl;dr - Follow the directions.

drwho, to privacy in why don't you guys scrobble?

Because nobody cared about what I was listening to when I did. It didn’t get me anything useful.

drwho, to linux in Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup?

That’s entirely valid. Good luck.
