actually its not perfect with comments either. I keep 4 notifications in my inbox unread in case I could find out where I got them, 2 of which is inaccessible because they themselves were deleted and I can’t go back to see what was its parent thread
Computers and the internet gave you freedom. Trusted Computing would take your freedom.

D-Bus is a system service that is used by processes to communicate with others. It’s commonly used, but as users we rarely see anything of it. It’s usage for programmers and sysadmins is/can be quite complicated. It looks they want to add a new simpler one. Haven’t heard of varlink before, though
Something I’ve learned is that it will use a lot of CPU even if the video is paused.
this has been my experience with it on windows too, so it must be a core VLC thing. if it bothers you, I recommend you to try out MPV. been using it for more than a year, would never go back. If you need more than the on screen controller and key combos, there are quite a few proper GUI players being built on MPV.
if you come from Windows, liked the 10 start menu, and you want to use KDE, there’s a pretty similar launcher you can use: https://store.kde.org/p/2142716
it does not have collapsible groups and live tiles, but otherwise it’s pretty good I think
or rather: oh silly you were so clumsy that you disabled recall by accident again. let us be so kind to re-enable it for you
well of course. however not everyone uses only SSDs, especially before SSDs became popular, but even today.
probably this is it’s manifestation: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4204
I think Dessalines has had some similar idea he has mentioned multiple times a few weeks ago
I have a few hundred public torrents active, and they all have peers, even the “fringe” ones. maybe your statistics is right, but even then it has value. I don’t care about leechers if it improves the service for us too
thanks Microsoft for hiding extensions by default!
I thought the delayed shutdown was intentional to not let the vibration of the disks increase too much
That is sort of saying that if someone want to learn Swedish, but since they don’t know any Swedish, it is better to start them on Norweigan first.
nobody wants to learn Swedish here. they want to be understood in a community that knows both Swedish and Norwegian, and if Norwegian is easier, they can learn just that
If UFW had used a similar syntax to that of iptables, then
then it wouldn’t be Uncomplicated anymore
who speaks about localhost? out of 21 active ports on my machine, only 3 is only listening on localhost. dhclient, avahi-daemon, syncthing, kdeconnect… cups-browsed did not listen only on localhost either
and over public DHT. we can share magnet links in this community, and why keep it to us only? if we keep it public, the survivability of torrents can even improve
run sudo ss -tulpn
, and have a look at the processes and their privileges listening for incoming connections. If one of them has a vulnerability, through which a third party can make that software do things it was not intended for… that’s pretty bad.
This can most easily happen with software whose developers are underresouced/careless/stubborn.
A recent case of that happening: https://www.evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/Attacking-UNIX-systems-via-CUPS-Part-I/
Tl;Dr, remote code execution vulnerability in software that most often runs as root, automatically.
Technically it works, but they are doing something that makes them bug away when resumed. It is not rare that this is related to graphics
I don’t have a firewall on my desktop or laptop
you are brave to use your laptop that way. or is it used as a stationary device?
but yes it is useful at home if you live with people who you don’t trust to be managing their computer safely
I think it’s fine to start with UFW on a desktop system at home to learn the very basics and get an idea on what ports you actually need. learning iptables/nftables is useful, but not necessary for a simple user at that level
no, not really. on linux that depends on the default policy of the corresponding chains, so it’s configurable. I don’t think all common distros default to reject either.
a “reverse bribe”, as is typical of nintendo
