Blocking it browser wide worked, but it is a bit inconvenient; the site was prompting everytime i was just browsing it even though i clicked remember the decision.

I didn't deny it; its akin to a first year med student reading about all the subtle little ways that the body hints something is majorly wrong and noticing symptoms exhibit in them, I guess i am just not jaded enough to accept that online anons can just send a swat team to my house if i comment on the local weather online.

Welp repressive countries have more stringent teams of computer forensics experts now. Though compared to our neighbours i wouldn't call my country repressive(yet)

Feasibility aside, the shitty laws in question attacks content hosting platforms first(safe harbor laws). So no matter how many vpns i hop through, the site would simply limit the visibility of my post in the region and go about their day.

Honestly i believe there is no point in speculating whether there are backdoors installed in popular privacy and encryption apps; for all we know, the powers that are may already have a digital fortress'esque quantum computer decrypting everything from your signal messages to onion sites in a matter of seconds.

I think(my personal headcanon) that there probably was a Manhattan project like top secret research project that has yielded some very fruitful results, now i guess we have to just wait for some whistleblower or a disgruntled employee to feed it a file that blows it up.

I would assume that because it is a popular open source software relied upon by millions that it theoretically shouldn't?

Then doesn't that mean that the guy was somehow shortlisted and handpicked to be served that honeypot link?

Mental Outlaw and seytonic on YouTube usually provide pretty good coverage.

Doesnt the prevalence of https solve this issue?

Does Tor have no protection against such a simple attack? I always thought any clearnet address i type in the browser (along with the dns query) hops 3 times.

Is TOR compromised? (arstechnica.com)

All the recent dark net arrests seem to be pretty vague on how the big bad was caught (except the IM admin's silly opsec errors) In the article they say he clicked on a honeypot link, but how was his ip or any other identifier identified, why didnt tor protect him.

Obviously this guy in question was a pedophile and an active danger, but recently in my country a state passed a law that can get you arrested if you post anything the government doesnt like, so these tools are important and need to be bulletproof.

Can you share the source

Edit: Solved, while changing EDID make sure to remove the old module first and reinstall it with the new EDID

I have a faulty DP to HDMI adapter, that unfortunately never seems to parse the EDID data, so while connecting to a TV I used this guide and a 1920x1080.bin file from the internet and it worked, but unfortunately I was unable to use the TV speakers(I guessed the EDID file didn't specify that the device had audio out)

Using a separate pc I extracted my TVs EDID.bin file and repeated the steps but unfortunately, it just doesn't work, its stuck on the old 1920x1080.bin(I can tell because it shows up as 'Linux Foundation 23'') The issue persists even after I delete the old .bin file from /usr/lib/firmware/edid

I am using wayland

What is your personal preference based on experience? I Assume because Mac is Unix and Linux is Unix based, it would be more suited, but I have no personal experience with the layout. I am willing to try something new if i hear enough merits for it, and I also find the windows layout somewhat inadequate(The grass is greener on the other side /s)

I dailydrive Gnome, I am not a programmer, but i am a power user

(On a tangent: Why is gnome so restrictive, it feels like its missing a ton of UI features that are trivial without a boatload of 3rd party extensions that break every update; why doesn't Win+Shift+number launch a new instance, every other DE does, why doesn't it?; I don't use KDE because I just don't like it, I feel Gnome could be way more if it just natively integrated the extensions ).

aesthetically the windows key annoys me and i hate putting stickers on keyboards; I like how the mac layout looks(My very minimal experience with an in store mac-book has cautioned me away from the fisher-price OS so i don't know if it is intuitive to use)

With modern CPU's supposedly shipping with 'AI cores': How long do you think it will take for a proper opensource, privacy respecting productivity tools(Something like whatever M$ copilot is supposed to be?) to be available?

Personally, i would love to see something like 'Passive' OCR integrated with the display server: the ability to pause any video and just select whatever text(even handwritten) there is naturally like it was a text document without any additional hassle will be really useful
Also useful in circumventing any blocks certain websites put on articles to prevent text from being copied

Or an AI grammar checker running natively for LibreOffice.

What are some AI tools you think should be developed for desktop Linux?

I use fedora on a 11ish year old laptop(It had decent specs for its time).

recently i encountered an issue while playing a 11 hour webm video(celluloid flatpak) i had downloaded off youtube,

the screen froze, I could still hear the video sound playing, but the system wasn't responding to any keyboard presses(Wouldnt switch over to TTY2-4),

I had heard about REISUB and tried it, but it obviously didnt work, after about 2:30 mins the system unfroze and i was shuffled Across numerous TTY's and the video closed as i had invoked CLTRL+Q

I am not here for a resolution to my problem The issue is reproducible by loading numerous instances of videos whose combined watch time Exceeds about 7-8 hours

I am more curious as to why SYSRQ is disabled and are there any consequences in enabling it(Security Wise)?

I opened firefox After about an hour of the system being in standby and in theSponsored Links row there were 2 new entries

http:/ /bom07s30-in-x03. 1e100. net/ (I dismantled the URLs to prevent accidental clicks)

pnbomb-ac-in-x0e.1e100

I right clicked and searched in Google and it showed up as this

pnbomb-ac-in-x0e.1e100 Sponsored it disappeared after a while, just to be sure I ran sudo lsof -i and noticed firefox was connected to this url

maa05s15-in-x03.1e100.net

I am not sure if am infected or this is just a glitch(I obviously didn't click on the links)

Further if this technology is open-sourced; can it be extended for use cases beyond that(Dual Motherboards sharing Compute power with low latency for working on a single process?); I know such solutions probably exist for servers and enterprises but i am talking about amateurs who don't have 10K lying around for specialty hardware: If possible this seems like a low cost solution to mess around with

The best LTT video i have seen in a while; It has everything

  • New and emerging experimental tech
  • Showing off progress in opensource standards
  • Nice Eli5 on what this is, why is it important, who are the stakeholders and what this means for the future
  • Linux
  • classic ltt humor and jank(they got euro truck simulator working on RISC-V running linux FFS)
  • all nicely polished and presented.

Unfortunately by the time it took to get this video out the algorithm had already penalized them for missing their regular upload schedule as evidenced by such a low view count;

its a shame i really like their content(especially the newer videos which have a good coat of polish)

but it seems like they will either have to go back to their rapid upload schedule or come up with a new format that is commercially profitable and critically satisfactory.
