Ohhh, I loved Mull. Good to hear someone forked it.

td aliased to cd $(whatever the command is to get the git root directory)

Using DoomLinux to mess with someone would be hilarious. Plug the USB into the back of their computer then alter the boot order so it prioritises USB. Each time they start their computer it boots into DOOM.

Oh really? You’re saying its a security risk?

Why would they do that?

I just use GNOME Disks for this.

Took this crap off my computer and installed Fedora as my daily. If I need to run Windows, I’ll run it in a VM.

Saving this as a copypasta.

Imagine trying to explain FOSS to this fucking administration.

From my understanding, Esc was originally where the Caps lock is on earlier keyboard layouts. That’s why it’s bound to that in Vim. It’s a holdover, so it makes sense to switch them back.

Ngl, I forgtet command options all the time. Its usually just a case of looking at the man to refresh my memory.

Also, command line allows for greater automation, has more granular control, often has more features and can be… I’m doing ain’t I? I’m being a Freeza.

SELinux is an access control system for Linux. Traditionally Linux uses Dynamic Access Control (DAC) which basically means the person who creates a file can determine who can access that file. Thats pretty fine for day to day use but there are some problems with this model in terms of security. One I can think of is that it’s more vulnerable to privilege escalation (a hacker getting access to a higher level account like admin through a lower level account) because it puts the onus on the user to define who can access the file. SELinux was invented by our good friends at the NSA to remedy these kinds of problems. It’s an example of Mandatory Access Control. It works on top of DAC by creating policies that work to prevent things like privilage escalation. It’s also a lot more comprehensive than DAC. It allows for things context based access, taking into account the broader security context of an access attempt, the user’s role, etc.

I’m actually not entirely sure why some people don’t like it. Understandably, some people are wary of anything the NSA let’s out into the public. But as it’s open source and has been integrated into a number of Linux distros like Fedora, it’s unlikely they’ve backdoored it. If I was to hazard a guess, I’d say some people don’t like it for the same reason they don’t like systemd: Linux has often been an OS where user’s like a big degree of control through simple traditional systems and those don’t like the idea of losing some of that control to the complexity overhead involved in these new systems.

Vi is actually a predecessor to Vim but many people, myself included, will alias Nvim or Vim to Vi. And I’ve seen people use Vi as a catch all too.

Is that… Fun?

Ah. Okay. It took me a moment to get this person’s perspective on this. They’re a non-US citizen who’s asserting that this person’s ‘wokism’ (i.e. nont being a prick) is hypocritical because they didn’t voice their concerns over the exile of Russian devs from the Linux Kernel. Isn’t that kind of a mix of a straw man (not clear what this ‘woke’ person’s views are on that; troll makes assertions on what the ‘woke’ person didn’t say) and an ad hominem (this ‘woke’ didn’t argue against anti-Russian sentiment, therefore their arguments for equality are invalid).

I feel like I’ve wasted my time considering what this clown had to say.

I like to think it was a wordplay.

or that it’s unfixable

Just out of interest. What are some of these unfixable issues?

Has anyone here ever come across a low res tutorial video with microsmic font that is impossible to read? I appreciate their desire to help others but why do people do that?

From my understanding, dental records are not actually as full-proof as they come of as in the media and there was a great deal of pseudoscience in their popularisation as a tool for identifying people. So perhaps, if the fingerprints are still identifiable, forensics went with them since they are more reliable.
