Yes, it made people realize we don’t need Secure Boot and it’s just a pit of vulnerabilities.

The default config for sudo is to ask for root password. I too was annoyed by this and had to change the setting to ask for the user password, not root, every time I used sudo.

Can someone ELI5 what’s going on? Seems like they are still fighting about Nix allowing a defense company to sponsor their conferences, and trying to ad hominem the project leaders.

Have you tried to install the it87 driver for your kernel? https://github.com/frankcrawford/it87 (on AUR it’s it87-git)

I have ASUS B450M PRIME GAMING and after installing the driver, the chassis fan sensors were detected and I could use CoolerCtrl to draw the fan curve.

I don’t quite like CoolerCtrl because of its UI, seems to be web based, but it works and has a daemon mode to start minimized on startup.

Seems like they are only dropping the deb for Ubuntu.

That’s like going to a therapist and then finding out your therapist needs to go to therapy after treating you.

Try Piper for your Logitech peripherals.

That doesn’t seem to be the case. From what I read on HN, the dev quit because he thought it didn’t make sense to submit CVEs for temporary/wip solutions, and F5 thought otherwise.

So as I see it, the developer quit because he didn’t agree that a CVE should be opened for a work-in-progress solution that was live on Nginx.

So… not using Signal because it’s based off a conspiracy theory that it’s secretly funded by CIA?

Well, let’s stop using RSA and encryption because the most used secure crypto algorithms today were created by none other than the NSA!

EDIT: None of the alternatives provided are good alternatives for Signal. Matrix is an extremely complicated protocol that lacks some features compared to normal IM apps (I use Matrix and the experience is quite close to a standard messaging app). XMPP is dead and has a very niche userbase. The others are not suitable for being a daily messaging app.

Signal is a good alternative and while I do agree with some points, they are not bad enough to prevent you from using it (e.g. not having usernames).

I had a similar issue with my laptop, where Arch wouldn’t be recognized as a bootable system on my NVMe drive unless I disabled RST with Optane on the BIOS, setting it to AHCI mode.

I do remember seeing a similar issue a while ago as well, but I don’t remember if the user managed to fix it.

I could suggest removing the Windows drive, installing Arch and checking if everything works, then plugging the Windows drive back in. Windows loves to delete non-Windoes bootloaders from every drive it can.

The same issue happens to me when opening links from any app on Wayland. For example, every time I click a link on a Discord chat, I have to manually click on the Firefox window because the focus is not automatic.

I run Wayland and it’s definitely worse than X11, but it’s getting better day by day. I always struggle with Wayland and I literally did nothing different than installing KDE Wayland. For example, ever since I moved to Wayland, Firefox will randomly freeze and crash when I’m using my PC - this happens at least once per gaming session.

Also, Wayland is still not feature complete and assuming it’s the system fault for poor compatibility is wrong.

Just give arewewaylandyet.com a read.

Which changes, care to elaborate?

This is something being sold in favor of passkeys but I can’t ser how “more secure” it is for me.

I use Bitwarden, the domain name matching works exactly like passkey’s. How more secure a passkey is, if it has 0 changes to this domain name detection?

I stopped reading when I read “Electron”.

I used Heroic a few times and it’s absolute garbage because it runs Electron.

They said they will offer these 2 versions side-by-side, but mark my words, a few months/years they will go with the Electron version and kill the GTK version.

why not gzip?

Don’t you have to specify the compression algorithm when extracting? I always use tar -xzf for gzip files and if I remove -z it just fails.
