I would make fun of you for using toslink but eARC is such a scam that I don’t know why they didn’t just bother to upgrade toslink anyway.
I think they’re lying when they say it can’t handle the bandwidth. It’s a fricken fiber optic cable, just bump the transmitter.
You can have windows running on a literal super computer and you’ll still get slapped with the “This won’t take long” screen lol
Let’s Encrypt has also started offering 7 day certs for people who are confident that they spent more than 5 minutes to setup their cert management lol.
Use our easy bash oneliner to install our software!
Looks inside script
if [ $(command -v apt-get) ]; then apt-get install app; else echo “Unsupported OS”
Still less annoying than trying to build something from source in which the dev claims has like 3 dependencies but in reality requires 500mb of random packages you’ve never even heard of, all while their build system doesn’t do any pre comp checking so the build fails after a solid hours of compilation.
Gamefreak used an additional hardcoded RSA public key auth in Pokémon Black/White because for some reason they didn’t trust OpenSSL to not fail for their HTTPS API connections, and yet here we are in 2026 with unauthenticated API endpoints.
Was ChatGPT unable to generate swagger docs they could have lazily plugged into an API scanner bruh
Or better yet notice the big fat “unathenticated” label when you look at the endpoint list.
I found a thread on reddit where some doofus was claiming the classic cube layout from Compiz is completly useless and nothing more than eye candy after someone was having trouble with setting up the cube on Wayfire.
It is objectively the best way to handle multiple workspaces.
sneak up into a dark street corner at night
“Ay you got that ed25519?”
Just use any Linux distro you like!
Stock Ubuntu with GNOME
I forgot but do browsers download binaries as executable?
One of the big issues with windows is the fact that it uses file extensions for determining file type, so EXEs can just be instantly run after downloading, which led to MSFT making the “Mark Of Th Web” attribute, which moved hackers into finding every type of bypass for MOTW.
I think straight bin downloads require you to chmod +x first, but you could also probably bypass it with any archive format like .tar.gz or opting for a .deb or .rpm.
The upside is that you really shouldn’t be downloading raw bins outside of the package manager, but there are a bunch of tools that only ship as appimages, so you’re kinda screwed if you download and execute from an untrusted source.
Fair enough, good GUI for a mouse and keyboard then lol.
As long as you don’t use GNOME as a good example of a good GUI
No sweat, try mirroring a private tracker and you’ll very quickly run out lol. You need a couple of petabytes worth.
The real problem is the price of HDDs not going down due to lower production in light of SSDs.
I fully expect WD to drop this as some stupidly expensive SAS drives that almost no consumer will buy. They should at least apply the dual heads for speed tech so we get faster HDDs for the same price.
4 days?
Took me 4 seconds to realize I can actually use the super key and have my start menu pop up instantly and not watch it struggle to load 50 ads and tell me to download candy crush
Very critical. GNOME and KDE have two very different UX paradigms.
Usually people used to Windows opt for KDE, and Mac or older Ubuntu users opt for GNOME.
The thing is though, a golden standard DE can easily be setup to act as both. XFCE is so customizable that I’ve seen both DE types setup as UNIX like or Windows like workflow.
I’m not sure if KDE or GNOME can do the same because I’m pretty sure they focus on a target audience.
What are your issues with KDE exactly? I always hated GNOME’s lack of standard window buttons and handling multiple windows in a Mac like fashion. Also the app menu which gives me flashbacks of ChromeOS.
tbf to this thread, wayland wasn’t really viable until 2023.
I made an existing comment on this that people didn’t like because I pointed out that most of Wayland’s “modern upgrades” like VRR, HDR, etc were unimplemented or unfinished for years. Even HDR is still “beta” on KDE iirc.
People also like to pretend the triple buffer wasn’t a can of worms for many users for a very long time (and still is on low power devices).
People talking about history without mentioning the laziest answer is to use an alias, which bash usually has ll = la -la or my personal preference is ll = ls -lAh (list + Everything except . and .. + human readable file size)
I tried protonmail not for the privacy purpose but just to have a normal web email client.
After wasting an hour before finding out you can’t disable the “sent from protonmail” footer without manually deleting it in each draft you make, I said screw it and deployed my own email server with stalwart lol.
It’s receive only because outgoing SMTP is a pain to make reliable these days and my ISP blocks outgoing SMTP anyway, but for everything else I now use Thunderbird.
Use micro after everyone makes fun of you for using nano
Been on it permanently for years now. Only complaint is that I found XFS to be better than BTRFS, though most people probably wouldn’t notice.
Only other “complaint” is Fedora doesn’t have a lot of support for embedded arm devices, so you’re on your own if you want an RPM style distro on something like an Orange Pi.
Define right wing because the last time I used that insult, it was against users spamming DNC propaganda lol
