What if I had a firewall installed in Linux

A previous company of mine, required an “AntiVirus” installed on the Linux computers too.
The one the IT guy installed, ran in the background all the time, doing nobody-knows-what and and slowing down every thing and having multiple segfaults in a minute, shown in the journal.

Long after I left, I also saw an RCE vulnerability related to it. So essentially, my system would have been more secure without the app.

I like multiboot. Used it back when I used Windows.
The Ventoy advertisements on Reddit looked too suspicious, so I never checked it out.

I don’t intend on pushing that one to the AUR. It’s not worth it.
Maybe I’ll make an AppImage at most.

I don’t know any formal requirements for it being on AUR, but I just feel like this one does not fit there.

Gatekeeping the word “software” here?
Here’s something not in the AUR. Tested on arch

If it’s C or C++, I get the source from the project’s GitHub / GitLab / Source Hosting thing and compile it for myself.
For programming languages that I don’t read, I usually use the AUR.

Also,

• GoG for games
• Xilinx website, for that one time, I got the ISE
• AppImage sometimes

Room service now!! or kiss your data goodbye

Even better. If you are programming all networking H/W yourself, you can even ignore address conventions and reserved addresses.

vacuum cleaners

Why would someone bring their own vacuum cleaner in a hotel room?

Macintosh heat sinking into ice-caps.

Wise Mac users move to Antarctica to prolong the life of the badly cooled devices.

OIC. Good to know in case I ever have to work on some old CentOS 5 box lying around ever again.
It also looks kinda proper, using that instead of the @, so when making shell scripts, I might want to prefer this.

I didn’t get that.

Checked the man and it’s not deprecated. So what does it have to do with “old”?

I would have a problem if a terminal app were to do something like this, but for GUI apps, it is expected for them to make stuff easier.
And I feel like, if you were to use a slash in a file name, it would most probably be either an “or” slash or a fraction slash, so the substitution is fine in my books.

illegal characters

Not sure about calling it that, considering it is a standard UTF-8 character. (0x2044 in UTF-16)

Well, considering that I am with coworkers who don’t remember when to and not to put the ‘/’ at the start of the file path (despite me explaining it to them multiple times), “slash e t c” is probably the better way.

Yeah, but we don’t know if we can do the case sensitive thingy on that, or do we?

Just tried. It processes the escape first and then finds the path with it. Essentially, making it look into a directory made by the characters before the \/.

The above was when I tried:

echo "asd" > asd\/dsa

But then I tried using Dolphin (GUI File Browser) to make a file and:

❯ ls
 1   2   3   4  'asd\⁄sad.txt'
❯ ls
1  2  3  4  asd⁄sad.txt

In the first one, the backslash is not the escape character, but part of the text.

Turns out Dolphin just replaces the forward slash with U+2044 “Fraction Slash” character, hence, not requiring any escape. I’d call that cheating, but it works well.

Isn’t there an application on Windows that allows you to open ext4? You check it out on that

I too expected it to be “et cetera”.

I used to pronounce it like yuzr, knowing that it wasn’t user, but not knowing what it was.
Now I have better context. Maybe I’ll go with U.S.R.

Maybe this article would be a good indicator.

By default, Ubuntu will give the Snap version, which Steam devs don’t like to support.
And installing another version will probably require some configuration and terminal stuff, so I’d suggest going with something that plays well with Valve.
