It’s either woefully incomplete or behind a paywall so someone in the company has access to be you can’t figure out who and eventually just give up.

Surprised Slice & Dice hasn’t been mentioned, it’s amazing. That and Dawncaster.

A useful tool is DarkPattern.games, which lists dark patterns in mobile games (such as micro transactions).

I’ve seen it a few times in passing and always assumed it was like, a tech demo or proof of concept.

I’ve had bad tinkering break my system before, but never had an update break it irreversibly. The closest would actually be on Silverblue itself, when an update to the kernel was using different signing keys that cause the system not to boot. Fortunately it was simple, I selected the previous deployment and I was in (on a non versioned OS I would have selected the previous kernel which most are configured to retain the last few). A quick Google revealed Ublue had a whole kerfuffle and after verifying it was legit, I enrolled the new certs into my MOK.

Although one time on Arch I had installed an experimental version of Gnome from one of their repos, and was pleasantly surprised when that version finally released and I removed the experiment repo and did an update absolutely nothing at all broke. Nothing.

This consternation is definitely common. It’s hard to apply skills to something with no long term impact of benefit. I’ve improved my skills by finding stuff I can help on in the communities I participate in.

It’s natural to be overwhelmed, so deciding on a project does scope what you can learn, but a hard part is architecting the foundation of that project.

Introducing new features to an existing project is a great way to get your feet wet - it has multiple benefits, for one of you do take a position as a developer in the future, you likely won’t be architecting anything initially, primarily improving on existing projects. So participating in OSS projects is a similar mechanism to that - you have to learn their codebase to a degree, you have to learn their style and requirements, etc.

Even if you don’t ultimately contribute, it’s still a learning experience.

LUKS, or anything that relies on the server encrypting, is highly vulnerable (see schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business’s response).

Your best bet would be encrypting client side before it arrives on the server using a solution like rclone, restic, borg, etc.

Programming and self hosting the results when I was ~14 is what led me to a tech background. No university, but I’ve been working professionally in both IT and software for over a decade and self hosting even longer.

Coworker in sales got mad at one of the shipping guys thinking his packing of the pallet was insufficient. They get into a verbal spat until the sales guy walks to his car and pulls his gun on the shipping guy, the shipping guy, who also happened to be a retired marine and allowed by the owner to open carry in the office. Sales guy was lucky the only thing he lost that day was his job.

No shots were fired since the sales guy was stupid but not that stupid. We kind of had a collective “that’s not terribly surprising” moment later when the cop was over for the police report and brought up sales guy’s past mugshots like “was this the guy”.

The new gamer’s nexus review outlines some pretty specific prerequisites that AMD sent to fix performance on Windows, and AMD didn’t communicate those until they’d had the review units for days.

Bookmarking Arkane. I’m a huge fan of Fedora Atomic but miss AUR.

Due to the nature if those charts, they’re usually web based, not desktop native, and will probably have to be self hosted, even just locally. For example, Redmine supports Gantt charts and can be spun up fairly easily from its Docker image.

Just to clarify #1 - while it is implied under “will recognize” - that recognition may come from being told by their partner they need space, not necessarily from recognizing cues or intuition. And that’s okay, good communication is key in relationships.

The command modifies the firewall to allow all incoming traffic on the docker0 network interface (which is created by Docker). It’s basically a bypass.

You can configure Docker to not try and manage it’s own rules, here is some discussion on the topic: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/22054#issuecomment-2241481323

The dealership probably gets reimbursed by the manufacturer for that loaner (and the warranty work).

The post is describing the scripts to disable telemetry, OneDrive, ads, etc.

I was offering an example. In Singapore it works because it’s a tiny country with stable mass transit. Definitely not a model that works in countries with more land.

I don’t think there is a “best way” - but increasing costs is one way. Singapore is an example of this - you have pay up 106K SGD for the COE (certificate of entitlement) to even be allowed to own a car.

They’re pretty insecure anyway, my current P14s Gen1 has a working fingerprint reader on Silverblue but I haven’t really used it.

I haven’t used a T14, just the E14 and the P14S.

New ish. My current Thinkpad is a P14s Gen 1 with a Ryzen 4750U 16GB of RAM, and it came with a 512GB SSD. I paid just under $300 for it on eBay and well worth the cost. I wouldn’t get anything that is still a TXXX variant anymore though (e g. T490), they simplified the product line. So T490 was replaced by the E14 Gen 1, and the P14s Gen 1 is an AMD variant.

Highly recommend. One thing worth noting though is to double check the fingerprint reader if you desire that, the E14 Gen 1 has a reader not compatible with Linux in a functional way. The P14s Gen 1 however does.
