Yes, I should not have said "impossible": nothing is ever impossible to breach. All you can donis to make a breach more expensive to accomplish.

Those separate tpm chips are getting rare... most of the time they are build into the CPU (or firmware) nowadays. That makes sniffing harder, but probably opens other attack vectors.

Anyway: Using a TPM chip makes it more expensive to extract your keys than not using such a chip. So yoj win by using one.

"They" did not go anywhere yet. This is a proposal, nothing more. It will take serious discussions over years to get this into C++.

Prominent figures already said they prefer safety profiles as a less intrusive and more C++ approach at conferences It will be fun to watch this and the other safety proposals going forward.

Well, its a brand new standard library. A fresh start.

Github login does not help much... devs are on github, not on random forgjo instances. That's where they see your project. Github is also where they put their fork of your project when they play with it. They will write comments using github markdown and won't care whether that renders correctly or not in your forge.

And it is where they will report issues and open a PR. It is annoying, but it is how it is. When you ask them to open the PR elsewhere they complain sinde they need to set up an account there and copy ssh key and similar things. You need a very dedicated contributor to go through with all that.... especially if it is just a few lines of drive-by fixes.

I use toolbox: Distrobox is a pretty horrible shell script and deleted parts of my home directory when I tried that.

In the end I just pointed toolbox to a script named podman that just adjusts the setup to what I need, implementing the missing features I wanted that way.

Maybe the Mac uses full disk encryption? Clonezilla will clone everything incl. the empty areas as the entire drive contains data indistinguishable from random bits in that case. Encrypted data also does not compress.

After applying an update you need to make sure anything using the unmatched code is replaced by the patched code. A reliable way to do that is a reboot. Actually a reboot is pretty much the only reliable way to do that.

So I am not surprised that a distribution targeting end users asks for a reboot.

With textlogs you have a hard time noticing a couple of added/removed/changed characters or even entire log entries. Thats exactly why some industries may not use text logs in the first place as permanent records that are at least temper-evident are mandated.

If binary logs go kaputt they tell you exactly which entries were effected and still display every bit of data they contain. Typically you do not grep in binary logs: Grep can not make sense of all the extra data in the logs (way more than in a typical syslog), so grep is just a poor tool for the job. You typically can use grep as binary logs so contain lots of text. This is ignoring compression, encryption and other extras of course.

Check out the devuan mailing lists then:-)

There is no significant section. It is just a few people telling each other the same old conspiracy stories over and over again.

Autsch! I would never do that... X11 is such a broken mess, but then my window management needs seem to be very different from yours.

Applications do have a say in how big they get rendered (typically by giving a min/max/preferred size), which window managers may or may not resepct/adjust for after the window comes up. Maybe it is just that.

What is actually meassured there? "Line goes down" is not necessary a bad thing:-)
