Read up on the time Christianity started a war with itself over flat bread vs not flat bread. People love to control others and its just so fucking weird. Ive got enough social anxiety and life problems without thinking about controlling what everyone else does.

So obviously its not a foolproof plan but wouldn’t you just dump the RAM while the machine is on? Dont you just copy /tmp or something and analyse that?

I suppose I’m assuming they can get shell access now that I think about it so probably a stupid question

I went to school with someone who didnt like deadlines, so she would do the following:

• fill a word document with nonsense
• open word document in hex editor
• corrupt file through some means she googled
• submit the file to our submission system
• wait for teacher to open the file, get ‘corrupted’ message

She’d do the work at her own pace in the mean time, and when she got asked for another copy because it was corrupted, shed hand it up. She graduated with me, and I dont know what she does now but I hope she’s in infosec.

Depends what you want to do.

On distrobox, I installed a containerised version of Ubuntu that can interact with my host, sort of like WSL on windows. Anything I put in it remains isolated so I can’t install packages that break my system - and I can use apt to install whatever in want rather than rpm.

You could develop in a VM or container like distrobox, and tbh, the host can be whatever you need it to be. You dont actually have to move off Mint.

That being said, I dont see why you couldn’t just develop on Bazzite/atomic distros of your choice using flatpaks for IDEs. I believe it has c++ installed and you’d be able to layer whatever language you needed onto your atomic distro of choice.

I really do suggest using Bazzite if you don’t want to wait for steamOS.

I previously used Mint, haven’t had to install an nvidia graphics driver or new kernel since moving to Bazzite and I’m now learning distrobox so I can make my usual bad computing decisions in a safe space. Its a very stable base, and with container tech layered on, you can have all the fuck around you want with minimal find out.

There’s the honorary kings bday in June/July (lazy and dont remember which). Then there’s the one in October, Melbourne cup I think idk? So there’s two in between. I think 3 would be nice. Thats one every couple of months. Others to many early on in the year anyway. It fucks up January to have one again that soon, having been working somewhere that doesn’t close over Christmas + new years.

They didnt have time to playtest the game. So the AI can fire faster than a human. It was one of the things they sorted for Halo CE but never got to due to constraints. It is literally the hardest Halo game because of this. I think on legendary youre even the weakest character entity in the game.

But on the horizon, surrounding the shoppers,
came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers

I believe its based on a group of people on twitter who wrote stuff like “putting on his jumper and smelling his colon”.
Similar humor to the yahoo answers “am I pergenat” stuff

Sometimes we need to read books/web pages to understand things. This is a pretty complex subject and while our friend above was asking for a privacy friendly alternative (which in this situation I’m not even sure how you summarise into a few words tbh), the poster answered by saying go read work from the EFF. They’re a great resource and great explainers, and they’ve written extensively on this topic.

Idk, should everyone be given the answers to everything, or is telling someone how to find the answer not okay? I’m of the opinion its necessary when a topic is difficult.

Admittedly, they could have said that as well, but I think it was clear the person asking isnt operating in good faith given their response to me. They’re a troll.

What if they said “this book explains what you want to know” and you still dont go and read the book? Cos that’s what’s happening.

Google it. Learn to find information yourself. Its pretty cool what information is out there.

Its your responsibility to educate yourself, not societies. You’re not asking for help, you’re asking for tutoring. The previous commenter answered your question anyway by directing you to the EFF. Its not their fault you dont want to put effort in and go read the work of an organisation whose entire purpose is to answer the question you asked.

This is the real goal. How far can a human and their exoskeleton/cybernetic modifications jump? Adding this to the science wishlist right after hoverboards

This you?

So… The gas masks??? I know they love to cosplay but these guys are back in France, 1914.

So we’re bashing the people who installed Linux now if they used something else first? What, if they’ve ever used windows we should send them to the Gulag? Wtf is this take? Like hey you dumb fucking person who finally figured out how to get away from the corporate software you were taught to use in high school, you are FuCkInG iGnOrAnT for putting yourself in this position in the first place!!1!

Let’s not talk about the multi billion dollar industry spent locking people into an ecosystem from day 1, because blaming high schoolers and teenagers for not switching to an OS best know for running web servers is an awesome use of our time.

Speaking from experience: no one thinks about operating systems as much as we do. We are not the norm. Most people don’t want to use the computer to begin with, but conceded its faster than hand writing everything. The guy who paved my driveway will never install Arch, because he only uses the computer to get paid. My office’s cleaner doesn’t understand how computers can even be unsafe.

When I went to primary school we had windows computers. Same thing in high school. In uni, because I did comp sci, I used Linux and found it was better for me. 350 people went through first year with me. Most of them continued using Windows, although a good chunk used Mac too. Like 10 of us used Linux. It is easier not to switch and that’s not going to change. So can we stop having a go at people for not having the same interests as us, because that’s the only difference.

Huh, my favourite part of using C and C++ was the ease of doing it all on Linux. Didn’t even need to install a compiler, just write code, run compile and laugh my way through endless segfaults because I am very bad at those languages

I live in Australia and I’m following this dude since he seems to be the one politician with a spine right now. No reason to keep tuned other than curiosity but damn has it been fun

Ask a new user, the unsurprising answer is “ez pleazee”.
