Linux suffers from a lot of unaddressed security problems. in c/linux@lemmy.world
[–] FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not all distros ship SELinux and the ones that do, don’t actually configure it securely.

You're welcome to work with distro maintainers to fix this instead of just complaining about it.

New users are expected to keep copying and pasting commands from their browsers to their terminal which compromises some Linux security defenses.

This is a big problem

Most if not all of the Linux Distros in 2025 ship with Grub bootloader, which suffers from a lot of problems, instead of using the bootloaders that does not support BIOS and will improve the reliability of booting and provide a more stable experience.

Fuck Fahrenheit in c/memes@sopuli.xyz

the humanism of Fahrenheit.

How? Fahrenheit scale is totally incomprehensible. Celsius at least is using a rational point for 0 (=where water freezes) and same scale as Kelvin.

Businesses can’t be expected to indefinitely support a piece of technology for free.

Of course not but they themselves announced long ago that win10 will be EOL'd in October 2025. Then later they announced that you can buy extra support for plenty and increasing amounts of money. And now this.

Though even longer ago they announced that win10 will be the last windows ever.

So windows 10 isn't EOL'd in October 2025 after all.

A solution is not to use any product, service or software made by MS or google.

Github has started charging me on the free tier? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] FrostyPolicy@suppo.fi 8 points 2 weeks ago

According to wikipedia Forgejo development is run by Codeberg which is a non-profit organization so I doubt they will start charging money. GitLab is managed by a for-profit corporation so anything is possible with them.

Stop using github. Move to something else e.g. codeberg.

A Search Engine that Respects You! Murena Find is Here in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Happened to have a SearX instance configured as a search engine in my LibreWolf. Did a test search and uBlock origin blocks zero things. So that is a privacy friedly no tracking search engine.

Was about to post the same. A privacy focused no tracking search engine should have zero of anything uBlock origin would block. If uBlock blocks trackers then it's not "no tracking" nor "privacy-focused".

I have on the host machine two network interfaces. One is lan and the other is a wlan. For libvirt I have created a nat network which is bound to the wlan. From the guest I can access other machines in the network host wlan is connected to. Also DNS lookup works. The problem is that there's no connection to the internet at all, e.g. pinging something gives "Destination network unreachable". ~~This only happens when both network connection on the host are active.~~ Running qemu/libvirt on OpenSuse Tumbleweed.

The nat network in question:

<network>
  <name>natToWlan</name>
  <uuid>a44c939c-e6bf-44d0-8f86-376056d418a4</uuid>
  <forward dev="wlp19s0f4u1u1" mode="nat">
    <nat>
      <port start="1024" end="65535"/>
    </nat>
    <interface dev="wlp19s0f4u1u1"/>
  </forward>
  <bridge name="virbr1" stp="on" delay="0"/>
  <mac address="52:54:00:1f:64:95"/>
