Truly one of the most embarassing things I have ever seen someone share publically.

Over polite comments responding to an opinion about a video game.

For me it has always just defaulted to the left-most monitor. I had a script that would disable that monitor with xrandr when sddm loaded and then re-enable it on logon, but I couldn’t get something similar working in Wayland.

What is sketchy about downloading a torrent that it could save you from? Wouldn’t it be executing whatever you downloaded on another machine that would be the risky part?

How would a thinking emoji make it clear your question isn’t serious? Also, things have been available for a limited time long before phishing attempts were a thing, and will continue to exist for legitimate purposes long after. You can’t expect the entire rest of the world to stop doing something innocuous just because it’s also used as a tactic to fool a small subset of inattentive people.

I use notifications in Thunder and I’ve had no issues. I haven’t compared the difference or anything, but when I’ve happened to check battery usage it’s always been a reasonable amount for how much I’ve used it that day. It does generate a decent amount of network traffic since it’s regularly checking with you instance for it, and that traffic is generated for each account you have reaching out to each instance. That should be how any FOSS app works though, the alternative would be something like Sync where you pay to have actual pushes sent from their server.

My theory is that the RTSP port (554) is for streaming and that when I go to the local address (that is on 80), the site ITSELF initiates a connection to port 554 in the background. However, this apparently does not happen when I connect remotely.

I think you’re on the right track here. The DVR is probably telling your browser to connect to http://192.168.1.222:554 for the stream, which on LAN is fine because you have a route to 192.168.1.222, but when connecting externally you won’t be able to get to 192.168.1.222.

You can probably check the network connections in dev tools in the browser to confirm that.

Edit: Editing this to also stress the importance of the advice given by @SteveTech@programming.dev. My home cameras are also only accessible from outside my network via wireguard.

Damn I forgot no content existed online and could be profitable before YouTube came along and saved us all from the dark ages.

Exactly, then it could have just been a text list on a webpage and we’d all be better off.

Someone made something up about you once, so now your plan is to never be introspective again for the rest of your life?

Good luck with that. I’m sure the issue in that situation was definitely how self-aware you were at the time.

I had done a few easier Linux installs on Raspberry Pis and VMs in the past, but when I decided I wanted to try using Linux as my daily driver on my desktop (dual-booted with Windows at the time) I decided to go with a manual Arch install using a guide and I would 100% recommend it if you’re trying to pick up Linux knowledge. It’s really not a difficult process to just follow step-by-step, but I looked up each command as they came up in the guide so I could try to understand what I was doing and why.

I don’t know what packages archinstall includes because I’ve never used it, but really the biggest thing for me learning was booting into a barebones Arch install. Looking into the different options for components and getting everything I needed setup and configured how I wanted was invaluable.

That being said, now that I know how, is that how I would choose to install it? Nah, I use the CachyOS installer now, but if I wanted stock Arch I’d probably use archinstall.

I think Wayland is at point now where I’d be comfortable recommending it to beginners. I’m on nvidia and just switched myself in the past month because I felt like it was finally ready.

To me this is actually a good move for Ubuntu’s reputation.

Losing good reputation or losing bad reputation?

Pretty sure they’re talking about generative AI created deepfakes being easier than manually cutting out someone’s face and pasting it on a photo of a naked person, not comparing Adobe’s AI to a different model.

The only one I can think of is that Source might still have some id code in it from the goldsrc days, but that was before it was open sourced.

Sure, but if you’re already going to have your 2FA codes available from anywhere you could possibly want them like that then you’re already sacrificing security for convenience.

I’ll still take my chances with my LAN/VPN-only accessible Vaultwarden instance that manages both passwords and TOTP over anything internet-accessible that handles just one, but to each their own.

I can’t tell you how long I’ve wanted to have a self hostable authy alternative with mobile and desktop apps plus a web portal.

Why not just use one of the password managers that also support this? Vaultwarden also has all that.

And if you find yourself needing a less simple but more powerful tool for this:

What you’re describing is the whole point of flatpaks. Just don’t use flatpaks then.

I’m sure the artists behind the music for the 20+ year old games this could be used for are really feeling the pain of their creative rights being abused from people trying to still enjoy their art after all this time, you wet blanket.

Different strokes. If I preferred using software that was just good enough out of the box over something I can customize to my exact liking then I probably wouldn’t be using Linux in the first place, or at least not the way I do in general.

Beyond that, having it be customizable means other people can change it to their liking and share that configuration, and maybe I’d experiment with it and find something I didn’t even know I wanted.
