I look at distros as a base to make changes from. I can make my distro into whatever i want but its going to take varying amounts of effort depending on which distro I start with.

I choose Nobara because i really liked fedora and I wanted a fedora base but with someone(eggy) keeping up with the latest gaming tweaks and adding them. Ive been using it for 2+ years and so far so good.

Wow I couldn’t think of anything people want less

This is kind of a nothing burger since most users dont register any details. There is no data to be gathered. The real surprise will be how they got compromised.

Real humans writing full sentences. Some platforms most of the comments are emojis or reaction gifs.

I thought the average was 7 days for a residential IP and when I searched it up it seemed like the average was 3 days. However I took note of my ip and its still the same as it was 6 days ago. Im now interested to see how long these ips are being leased out for.

If it is longer than a week then I am fully wrong and spamming out your ip is a huge privacy risk.

Commenting online is fighting the good fight. Online sentiment is shifted by commenting online and online sentiment plays a huge role in influencing the acceptable opinions.

Most people dont have static IPs. All the ads would see is web requests from random residential ips from a certain country.

Where are you finding hardware acceleration to be bad?

Got me good

I think we’re far past caring about a website logging an IP address.

I’m pretty sure tuxedo support should be able to cover this for you. Its one of the bonuses of buying a Linux laptop.

I’m not familiar with the Italian politicians and their rank in government but it seems normal that a government could collaborate with a platform like X to deanonamize users.

X can track its users. Why anyone thinks they have “privacy” on an app like that is beyond me. The threat to democracy is real but it comes from Xs power to boost/censor to control the narrative which the writer does touch on.

This is terrible news. I don’t think anyone can replace Google’s contributions.

If someone exploits a service on the machine they can then connect outside that machine on any port. Ufw would prevent this. The router firewall would also likely prevent this unless they used an open port of the router or upnp was enabled.

Disclaimer, I’m not a network professional im only learning. But you dont need ufw since your router firewall should be able to filter majority of the traffic. But in security there is a concept of layers. You want your router firewall then your device firewall to provide multiple layers incase something slips through one layer.

So to give a simple answer, it depends how secure you want your network to be. Personally I think UFW is easy so you may as well set it up. 5sec of config might stop a hacker traversing your network hoping from device to device.

this video is really well done. Its so casual compared with the nerdiness of most windows -> linux videos. Also does anyone know what that mic is? Also I love how smooth Peertube is. The compression and loading time is such a noticeable improvement.

Claude frequently finds itself pointlessly revisiting completed towns, getting stuck in blind corners of the map for extended periods, or fruitlessly talking to the same unhelpful NPC over and over, to cite just a few examples of distinctly sub-human in-game performance.

Claude is just like me fr

Basically nixOS but useful.

Duckduckgo is actually really good. Everyone ive shown it to has complained about the search results in the first few days then months later they say its so much better. Bangs are such a good feature.

Yeah but thats 50% on a bell curve. So think of the average person and that represents 68% of the population. Going 1 standard deviation lower 13% then lower is 2%. Numbers here are generalised*
