yeah i’d love to be able to use the ui on other distros/ OS

i’m sorry i can’t help, i’m just curious why OBS doesn’t seem to be the best option here?

while it can, there probably is some arch user who runs the program too and notices it suddenly takes 2ms longer to do something thusly finding the xz attack.

so, yeah foss isn’t inherently safe, but most probably saf er

as someone who has a similar setup of sudo needing reauth after a while, i can tell you that it’s really no issue. keep in mind it only prompts you for a password when using sudo, meaning it prompts you when you run sudo su, and then su is just running. for as long as su keeps running, you don’t need to rerun sudo su, meaning you don’t need to reauthenticate.

in other words. the reauthentication requirement will never kill any running processes. it just requires a password when running sudo.

edit: also, i would recommend sudo su - instead, because it makes sure you get the env vars that root uses. running sudo su has lead to lots of head scratching personally. (especially on debian where /sbin binaries are not in the path when using su without the dash)

i love codeberg, though i haven’t had a chance to test the collaboration features all that much

since manjaro is on fire rn, the question is whether you want a distro by a malicious corp, or a corp that’s abandoned the distro, accompanied by an uprising.

i don’t really understand. from my understanding kde will keep working on the BSDs despite them not having systemd. so, kali could just keep kde without systemd, couldn’t it?

please do not use cloudflare. it’s risking everyone’s privacy and security. they may seem like the most inconspicuous part of your dependencies, but actually are the weakest/ most dangerous part. i think codeberg tends to be supportive and the right place, but cloudflare is 99.9% gonna snitch on all of your readers.

i actually ran into the dude who made this design and he gave me a lot of these stickers. so, while it could’ve been made with AI, i can tell you that it was done in 2024 and i met him in an AI critical setting and he was very proud of having made this. since i don’t remember him having mentioned AI at all, i find it likely for this to be done without AI

a friend of mine uses a non modern ryzen that has issues with sleep states. his home server ran fine until the os got an update and managed to idle much lower than before. that made his machine crash and was a really weird error to catch. dunno if this could apply to you at all. just throwing it out there.

working at a research institute, nobody set any restrictions for what os i install. there are guidelines, but only to make sure that people keep their os secure. i’m using fedora, my boss uses mint, a colleague uses macos. everyone is free (as long as it’s within a somewhat tight budget)

oh i absolutely can blame them, because they made a choice. either you take my money and respect my privacy, or you sell all of my data and won’t get my money. however you can’t sell all of my data and take my money, nono, f u alphabet, that’s not how this works.
