I did! John Marley Centre for Music and Media 2000-'02 represent :3 It was still 2" tape and patching outboard at the time though.

Whatever you end up using, have JACK sync 'em up. I used to have two Macs, one for recording with Nuendo and one for doing MIDI sequencing and programming. They synced via MIDI sync and there was always issues. Now I have everything on one Linux machine (Ardour records and mixes, Reaper sequences MIDI and Renoise does beats and other sampling related stuff) and with JACK the sync is seamless <3

I’m thinking Waydroid or something alike with Gapps installed with a burner G account. That can be spun up when parking app or work benefits app are needed, as these are the only two normie apps in my life that require the googly bits. Same drill as I do with GrapheneOS now - second user profile with Google enabled that only runs a minute if i need to pay for parking or a meal :)

Ok, interested. Looks like a project to support with real money. I’m in.

If the price of their product feels steep, it’s not that bad actually. I paid over 600 € to f@ckin’ Google for a device to run GrapheneOS on :o)

Yes, or SSH keys or any other means of user authentication. The cool thing in this technique is that it’s twofold and you (as an attacker) can cherry-pick the info given. If you walk up locally to someone’s running system, you could skip the first half and go with the ‘hey, can you resize this XFS image for me’ bit.

The technique described here is only a concern if the ‘bad actor’ has access to a user account on your machine in the first place.

The dev’s VSCode application installs a helper package in /root/.vscode-server. Separate copy for every user that connects. It runs a bunch of ‘node’ processes that often stack up more used CPU time than MySQL. I’m not a fan…

Thanks, that’ll come in handy!

I guess it’s worth mentioning that once (only once) I’ve seen ripgrep bring a whole LAMP stack production server to a full tilt. A dev using VSCode (which has rg as part of its ‘trojan horse’ vscode-server it installs and runs as root on any server it’s used to edit) did a search and ripgrep went into some kind of death loop hogging 100% of all cpu cores. Probably rare, but kind of shocked me. All our servers now babysit vscode-server with cgroups…

The sharp uptick of crap flown around 2.6 piques my interest. As does someone’s introduction of ‘retard’ into the vocabulary shortly prior. Must have been popcorn times.

The only caveat here is the fire-hazard non-removable lithium batteries.

Here too. Free 2012 Mac Mini that’s been servering away for a couple of years already 24/7 on UPS power. Gets a deserved smile every time I look at it :)

I’m looking at replacing my 2018 desktop machine (a Thinkcentre Tiny) soon with one of the new AMD 395 mini-pcs. When that happens, the Mac Mini will be retired…

I’ve been keeping a sandboxed chromium on my machines only to access Facebook. For everything else I use qutebrowser.

When chromium started doing this (letting it access my keyring was not an option), I decided that instead of looking in the config or switching to firefox, it’s time to finally drop Facebook from my life. Problem solved, hundreds of megabytes freed :)

PR incoming, this really needs a robust implementation of a [freaky] config section. You know, sudo / doas / run0 stuff.

Has anyone not mentioned Openbox yet? Window decorations look like the NeXT style, just colourful.

Kudos, I think that is a great DIY solution!

A coworker who’s a quarter of a century younger than me is well on the way towards that ideal. Libreboot and all. I caught the bug and decided to start with Guix on my home server, but it turns out a Mac Mini is not the platform to go fully libre with XD The itch does persist…

Gitlab.freedesktop.org won’t let me in on GrapheneOS’s default Vanadium browser, lol. 2 1337 4 U XD

In defense of OP, I do this a lot and go for similar moves in other languages too if the conditional bit is just a line or two. Pro choice!

That’s how you do it. Waiting to drown but suddenly learning to fly :D

I just posted a picture of my first Linux CD box, and that includes ‘Red Hat Mother’s Day release +0.1’. Maybe you had this same article :)
