You can start with dpigs. Then start marking packages automatically installed with apt-mark. aptitude may be a good frontend when removing a lot of packages, you can mark entire categories, like libraries, as automatically installed.

Pay attention to the package headers when removing packages. You don't want to remove essential packages.

This would be illegal in EU now, at least if the BT addresses or car plates were logged.

The Linux kernel would maintain a list of the latest Intel microcode versions for each CPU family, which is based on the data from the Intel microcode GitHub repository. In turn this list would need to be kept updated with new Linux kernel releases and as Intel pushes out new CPU microcode files.

Sounds like that would be outdated for everyone without a rolling distro.

Most likely after rebooting but before unlocking the decryption key is not present in memory in plaintext.

I hope this makes it easier to do TLS sniffing and security research on Android apps. A lot of developers seem to rely on no one simply looking at how much information is exposed in the APIs apps use. Currently because it's much more difficult to sniff Android apps, a lot of privacy/security issues are not raised.

As a finn, I understand that there are probably legal reasons for doing this.

I just wish they would be transparent and share those reasons with us. The Linux kernel is certainly not the only free software project that is impacted, if this comes straight from EU/US sanctions. Maintainers of other projects have a lot of interest in what is happening.

Transparency is also important because if EU/US policy/sanctions are causing issues for free software projects, then that discussion needs to be public, so that there is a chance to amend the policies if necessary.

Do you use any of the mentioned virtual network interfaces? What for?

Are there any recent Android models that have native call recording enabled in EU?

I will root the phone if necessary, but considering that Google is closing the platform down even more by making custom/rooted ROMs fail security checks, I would prefer to avoid that.

How would you protect files of a VPS (Virtual Private Server) from snooping by the service provider?

Many projects ask to share lots of logs when reporting issues. It's difficult to go through all the logs and redact informarion such as usernames, environment variabled etc.

Any ideas on how to anonymize logs before sharing? Change your username to something generic?

Nothing so far seems to indicate Lasse Collin knew what was going on.

I feel sorry for him. Must suck working on an open source project for free and then get sucked into something nefarious like this. He must be under tremendous stress.

Please work on tab grouping instead!

[-] ouch@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

Create group, add users to group, create a new directory, chown it to the group, chmod g+s and done.

If you care, please take time to upvote or file bugs on packages that don't follow XDG. Or even better, make PRs.
