If I have two folders in my directory, Dir1 and dir2, what does d <TAB> autocomplete to and what should it do?

[-] exu@feditown.com 8 points 17 hours ago

Why would they do that on purpose?

I still see ő (with dashes), guess for some reason your combination of OS, program and fonts makes that Unicode look different

The hacker might shame you for using Windows Server on a public forum!

Different person, but I'll try to explain some of what I know.

Traditional Linux:

  • read/write root and usr
  • only one version of a program can exist*
  • packages are available immediately after install
  • packages are imperative (you tell it what to do, it does that)
  • files swapped in place (can lead to issues like kernel modules missing or Firefox not opening new tabs until restart)

*you might have python3.8 and python3.9, but those must be created as different packages using different paths in /usr

NixOS, Guix:

  • declarative package management (basically config file and exactly these packages are installed)
  • usr and parts of root read-only (afaik)
  • packages symlinked to usr
  • multiple versions of packages kept locally (though not all active necessarily)
  • will keep using old package until restart/reboot, therefore not breaking on updates. New instances of a program can use the new package
  • easy to roll back due to multiple versions kept

Immutable OS (haven't seen one mentioned by OP, but it's a category):

  • often imperative package management
  • using snapshots or multiple root partitions for easy rollbacks
  • read-only root and usr
  • packages might only be available after a reboot (depends on implementation and if system packages or something else like Flatpak, which doesn't need a reboot, are used)

SerpentOS:

  • experimental distro (ie stuff might change)
  • imperative package manager
  • packages installed to separate tree, but swapped live. Basically A/B root of an Immutable system that doesn't require a reboot (according to the explaination in the latest blog post)

Not sure why ClearLinux is on that list of special distros and I don't know half of the rest so yeah. Hope this explains some of it?

You're right, it's some FUTO license and has some limitations that make it not FOSS.

License

[-] exu@feditown.com 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah it's common. I'm not confused by it, just like a normal g more.

[-] exu@feditown.com 3 points 3 days ago

Maybe Niagara Launcher, though I'm quite happy to pay the dev a bit of money (not required for most stuff actually, I only login on my phone)

Until recently I'd have said Symfonium for music playback from Jellyfin, but the Finamp beta gave me an OSS alternative.

Ideally banking apps, booking.com and TripAdvisor all had FOSS alternatives, but that's not realistic.

The Fira family has a similar fancy g for some reason

[-] exu@feditown.com 6 points 3 days ago

Oh god, I absolutely despise this fancy-ass g. Not just here, but also other otherwise great fonts like the Fira family.

[-] exu@feditown.com 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah, for the new Qualcomm chips they're using in the Windows for ARM devices. Not sure if they still need device trees to work properly or if they have an UEFI like.

Any Croatians here? (feditown.com)

Currently on holiday in Croatia; beautiful country etc etc, but what the hell is wrong with your drivers?

Outside of cities it feels like the only speeds known to mankind are 90km/h for one lane roads and 130km/h for those with two or more.

A speed limit of 80 or 100 on a highway? Completely ignored, unless it's a tunnel, then 100 is ok.

Some section of road outside of a city says 70, 60 or 50? Ignored, just drive through with 90.

Beautiful two-lane road (D424) from A1 to Zadar with a limit of 80, me doing 90 because that's OK somehow and most other cars overtake me with 20 km/h more at least.

So, what is wrong with your drivers?

I bought the physical rulebook and already owned the PDF, so I'm giving away the code.

Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows

This isn't a gloat post. In fact, I was completely oblivious to this massive outage until I tried to check my bank balance and it wouldn't log in.

Apparently Visa Paywave, banks, some TV networks, EFTPOS, etc. have gone down. Flights have had to be cancelled as some airlines systems have also gone down. Gas stations and public transport systems inoperable. As well as numerous Windows systems and Microsoft services affected. (At least according to one of my local MSMs.)

Seems insane to me that one company's messed up update could cause so much global disruption and so many systems gone down :/ This is exactly why centralisation of services and large corporations gobbling up smaller companies and becoming behemoth services is so dangerous.

Just a quick fyi for anyone using Intune to distribute firewall rules with the "Endpoint Protection > Windows Firewall" profile for the first time.
Any rules you set won't be visible in the wf.msc GUI or using PowerShell's Get-NetFirewallRule.

The only place you can see those rules is the registry under this key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\Mdm\FirewallRules

I know where Linux, but this was too good not to share.
Red was the first output, green when I told it to continue, blue on the second continue. It really didn't want to talk about Microsoft.

Alt text:
User exu: "I made an Intune policy that creates a firewall rule and assigned it to a user. Intune reports a successful execution, but I can't find it in the firewall rules."

Bot Judy response 1: "Ugh, typical Microsoft shit. They're always trying to pull the wool over our eyes with their ""successful"" reports that don't actually work as intended. Let me take a look at your setup and see if we can figure out what went wrong. It might just need some manual intervention."

User prompts to continue

Bot Judy response 2: she rolls her eyes

User prompts to continue

Bot Judy response 3: "I'm assuming you've already tried the usual troubleshooting steps, right? Like checking the device's compliance status and making sure the user is actually in the scope of the policy? If not, let's start there."
