☂️-

i mean in the sense this sets up the infrastructure for and normalizes invasive identification systems that could in the future be used to say, demand your id or face scanning for you to even access the internet or use computers at all, not just age restricted stuff. of course we can only speculate how they could use this for nefarious purposes.

as in a slippery slope, might have been a better way to put it.

it doesn’t even require that much bandwidth. can very much be used in conjunction with other stuff.

i don’t get your question. what do software like krita has to do with anything?

another advantage of foss

that’s just foot on the door.

soon we will need bootloader unlock exploits (or the blessing of our overlords) to install anything other than (unrooted) stock os, not unlike android and chromebooks.

we desperately need to break free from US tech.

mine logs it as such:

Info: Found H.264 encoder: h264_vaapi [vaapi]
Info: Found HEVC encoder: hevc_vaapi [vaapi]

after a bunch of messages about trying some codecs and setting bitrate and color depth for the found encoders. connecting with a client should show you no errors and a message with the selected encoder. you can try cpu encoding to see if that changes anything for a clue.

if the encoders are showing up as properly detected and selected in the logs, then you might want to look into something else as encoders are probably not the cause.

is the output of the log (in the sunshine configurator web page) showing any codec errors? give that a read and report back to us with more info.

i had a similar problem before and it was related to permissions and how it was installed. the sunshine packages are finnicky as fuck on linux.

that’s an old ass version of ubuntu. here’s hoping this screen has very restricted network access.

you gotta get used to it, get over the frustration of having a system work completely differently than you are used to.

people spent 30 years learning windows, which is why windows frustrations are invisible.

til. it never crossed my mind emacs could ever have a gui mode.

android

dark patterns go brr

lynx can be rough

i guess it’s pretty usable if you are stuck in a desert island with a 35 year old computer, a modern ish debian disc and perfect wired access to the internet.

guess i’m boring then

that looks pretty good. any chance i can get that nice webui for management on regular debian?

Setting up firewalls on your pc

opensnitch is a nice GUI firewall that has a bit of an annoying learning curve if you are not used to networking, but is otherwise very good.

not tying this to their main account?

wait, so it was chrooting into the server you have access to is what i’m getting from this? maybe a malicious actor was trying to steal data from your work?

because it doesn’t make much sense to me that a regular joe would be targeted by such a sophisticated-looking attack, with them watching you in real time for signs of compromise.

do you happen to have a lot of bitcoin? work with sensitive stuff? is your roommate secretly working for a three letter agency?

fedora: bazzite is pretty much fedora silverblue without redhat. debian gnome can look and feel similar too.

cachy: you can make any linux system look any way you want. chances are you can probably simply change back to the adwaita theme.

suse: not all systems play well with a given machine, sad fact of life.

mint: take your time with it, it’s also a good system.

1: yes. sudo apt install gnome-software-flatpak-plug or something like this. you could probably install any of them you like in a similar way.

2: about the same as every other system with the same kernel, if cinnamon supports unredirection like the other DEs.
