I remember reading a story about how the North Koreans would dig tunnels under the border. It took years and the ultimate goal was to dig all the way to Seoul. I remember feeling bad for all the time and man hours the North Korean state wasted on this stupid protect. This reminds me a lot of that.
Oh… Is is it just Nazis and porn?
What’s Kick?
This is actually so dystopian. People go to jail for rape for less time than this. Imagine being such a Gestapo removed that you think this will discourage piracy instead of simply advertising your corporate tyranny.
Oh really? You’re saying its a security risk?
Why would they do that?
From my understanding, Esc was originally where the Caps lock is on earlier keyboard layouts. That’s why it’s bound to that in Vim. It’s a holdover, so it makes sense to switch them back.
SELinux is an access control system for Linux. Traditionally Linux uses Dynamic Access Control (DAC) which basically means the person who creates a file can determine who can access that file. Thats pretty fine for day to day use but there are some problems with this model in terms of security. One I can think of is that it’s more vulnerable to privilege escalation (a hacker getting access to a higher level account like admin through a lower level account) because it puts the onus on the user to define who can access the file. SELinux was invented by our good friends at the NSA to remedy these kinds of problems. It’s an example of Mandatory Access Control. It works on top of DAC by creating policies that work to prevent things like privilage escalation. It’s also a lot more comprehensive than DAC. It allows for things context based access, taking into account the broader security context of an access attempt, the user’s role, etc.
I’m actually not entirely sure why some people don’t like it. Understandably, some people are wary of anything the NSA let’s out into the public. But as it’s open source and has been integrated into a number of Linux distros like Fedora, it’s unlikely they’ve backdoored it. If I was to hazard a guess, I’d say some people don’t like it for the same reason they don’t like systemd: Linux has often been an OS where user’s like a big degree of control through simple traditional systems and those don’t like the idea of losing some of that control to the complexity overhead involved in these new systems.
This app is great. Thanks.
I should really cron my Borg script rather than waiting for a sinking anxiety to set it and doing backups at random intetvals
You’re right I sbould have included that in the question. I’m on Hyprland with Wayland so there are quite a few choices. I mentioned rofi (rofi-wayland) and wofi because I can see that they are both options here.
On a tangential note, what does Linus used, Vi or Emacs?
I’ve seen this photo a bunch of times. Who is this guy? And why is high flipping the bird?
What is a Usenet?
