I2P 2.6.0 Release - Blog - I2P
  • That’s because you’re using it for a purpose it wasn’t intended. I2P isn’t designed to be used to browse the regular internet, for that it’s better to use TOR. However for anonymous torrenting or accessing i2p-sites, it’s quite fast imho.

    Okay, good.

  • Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows
  • Windows does have a fallback mode called safe mode and that’s exactly what’s being used to fix this utter mess.

    The other fix was reboot your Windows computer at least 15 times.

    Package management isn’t going to save you from this as it didn’t save the Linux systems affected last time. It didn’t stop Arch Linux from failing to boot after a Grub update either.

    Not everyone was affected though :

    How come not everyone was impacted?

    Prior to the most recent version, grub only registered the fwsetup if detected support. If your machine detected support, you would have had the fwsetup command registered and the failure wouldn’t occur.

  • Global IT outage shows dangers of cashless society, campaigners say
  • There's more to it. The mono-culture is one thing, but rolling out the update to millions of computers on the same days sounds like a bad idea.

    Fun fact in 2008, with nuclear submarines, the mono-culture was not that bad yet.

    It's interesting to note the UK went with a Windows XP variant and not Windows Vista, which is marketed as the more reliable OS. The USA never made the same calculations: The American Navy runs on Linux.

  • [Question] Font fingerprinting -- even tor browser is vulnerable!?
  • Disable javascript, trying to get around fingerprinting with javascript enabled is an exercise in futility, and is especially risky with something as heavily monitored as tor.

    I like disabling JS myself for some web browsing but this can make fingerprinting easier because most people do enable JS, and I've read that with JS disabled certain things still can be detected through CSS files.

  • CrowdStrike broke Debian and Rocky Linux months ago, but no one noticed
  • RHEL, Ubuntu, & Debian cover the vast majority of enterprise installs I imagine, and provide a solid testing base for developers in the Linux business software space.

    Enterprises I imagine are using RHEL, Ubuntu, SUSE's SLES and Oracle Linux and probably not Debian. But that's a guess. Where can statistics and numbers be found ?

  • Mounting Folders VS Symlinks?
  • Also how to mount folders to other folders (option 2) ? (I would really appreciate a GUI way)

    The CLI way syntax : ln -s source target

    For example : ln -s /media/username/NTFS-folder-Downloads ~/Downloads/NTFS-folder-Downloads (Make sure to omit a trailing / if you are using command line auto suggestion completion).

    If you want an answer from other readers about the GUI way : it would useful which file manager (Nautilus, Dolphin, Nemo, Caja etc.) you are using.

  • [SOLVED] I seem to have nuked my Debian DE (Gnome)... Could someone help me with this?
  • EDIT: I kinda forgot to actually mention my problem. When booting nornall, I get stuck at a lonely white blinking cursor on a black screen, so startx seems to make some problems. I enter a TTY and run startx and this is what I get when running startx:

    output of startx

    What was the output ? It is not visible for me here.

    • Were you using startx successfully before ?
    • Or are you reverting to trying startx and you did use some graphical display manager like gdm, sddm or lightdm before ?
    • Could it be a disk space problem ? If you run out of space trouble can happen with various applications.
    • Can you boot from a previous kernel (At the GRUB or systemd boot menu) and see what happens ?
  • EXT4 Has A Very Nice Performance Optimization For Linux 6.11 (Phoronix)
  • Huge news 🎉 Thanks OP for sharing.

    It feels like a relief after reading earlier Lemmy comments in other posts about btrfs vs ext4 and having read this Wikipedia page paragraph :

    In 2008, the principal developer of the ext3 and ext4 file systems, Theodore Ts'o, stated that although ext4 has improved features, it is not a major advance, it uses old technology, and is a stop-gap. Ts'o believes that Btrfs is the better direction because "it offers improvements in scalability, reliability, and ease of management".[29] Btrfs also has "a number of the same design ideas that reiser3/4 had".[30] 😢

    Oh no, wait a minute, I overlooked the next sentence last time 😀 :

    However, ext4 has continued to gain new features such as file encryption and metadata checksums.

    Jailbreaking RabbitOS: Uncovering Secret Logs, and GPL Violations

    cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/14981035

    But as I and others looked closer, and thought about it more deeply, things became concerning.

    These logs include:

    Your precise GPS locations (which are also sent to their servers). Your WiFi network name. The IDs of nearby cell towers (even with no SIM card inserted, also sent to their servers). Your internet-facing IP address. The user token used by the device to authenticate with Rabbit's back-end API. Base64-encoded MP3s of everything the Rabbit has ever spoken to you (and the text transcript thereof).

    The amount of Usonian content on Mastodon sickens me
  • You can look at https://joinmastodon.org/servers and then Region and see which servers are interesting for you. Besides that if you follow a lot of persons which use your language and have similar interests your local timeline can be better for you. And you can follow hashtags like for example #gardening #flowers #birds

    Apart from this, the Explore option on Mastodon, no matter which servers I've tried very often is full of US content, but there's no need to use the Explore when your local timeline is interesting.

  • [SOLVED] First time installing linux (Debian). Got this error. Please help
  • Is this a desktop computer ? Two hard disks can make things more difficult. How about taking the power cord temporarily off from the larger disk, then install, and if it's successful then turn it off and give the 2nd disk power again, and add that 2nd disk manually to the fstab as e.g. /opt/ as mount point.

    Shoelace: Alternative frontend for Instagram's Threads

    cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/9961019

    > Hello Lemmy! Yesterday I released the first version of an alternative frontend for Threads: Shoelace. It allows for fetching posts and profiles from Threads without the need of any browser-side JavaScript. It's written in Rust, and powered by the spools library, which was co-developed between me and my girlfriend. Here's a quick preview: > > !A screenshot of Shoelace's homepage, showing the logo on top, the title "Shoelace", the subtitle "an alternative frontend for Threads", an input bar with the tooltip "Jump to a profile...", and at the bottom three links: "hub", "donate", and "v0.1". > > !Mark Zuckerberg's profile on Shoelace, showing three posts: One showcasing columns on the official Threads frontend, another congratulating himself for 1.2M+ downloads in his company's new AI software, and the glimpse of a post related to the "metaverse" > !Post by münecat on Shoelace, announcing the release of a video essay criticizing the field of evolutionary psychology > > The official public instance (at least for now) is located at https://shoelace.mint.lgbt/, if y'all wanna try it out. There's also instructions to deploy it inside the docs you can find in the README. Hope y'all enjoy it!
