Pantherina ,

Thanks a lot! I selectively keep cookies for login sites, which is not a good solution.

The threat is websites escaping the browser sandbox and reading stuff. I dont know if this is really that realistic though.

Pantherina ,

No it doesnt, it is a password and a secret stored on that device. A password might get stolen on the database, or entered on a fishing website, but with 2FA that would be useless.

It goes against ONE idea of 2FA, that phones are more secure (thanks Android) and your Browser might get hacked.

Pantherina ,

Really cool! How is the database stored, can it be encrypted using the masterpassword, or a different one? Can it be only loaded into RAM?

On traditional desktops like any app can read your browser data, which would be very problematic.

Pantherina ,

Very neat, thanks!

Pantherina OP , (edited )

Omg yes thats true. Thanks!

But CoreOS is also using rpm-ostree, how are they different?

Pantherina OP ,

Automatic updates are overcomplex and not even preinstalled. Install a package, change some configs, so some more.

I dealt with it and its annoying.

And there is a lot more that is completely manual with no good default presets

Pantherina OP , (edited )

I am completely confused about ublue currently, (okay all they did is remove the image list, its the same on Github)

Debian is old and crusty with all its tooling. Apt sucks, automatic updates are strange, there are no snapshots afaik, it uses ext4, its like Fedora was 10 years ago

Pantherina OP ,

I want a server haha.

And yes, atomic ftw.

Pantherina OP ,

Yep, and thats all cloud-first I suppose. It sounds cool but you need to create an ignition file (which sounds very possible) but then you need to get that to a server that doesnt yet have a user account.

I dont understand anything of that. I dont think mounting a drive with that file is possible everywhere, and how do you setup LUKS?

Just no. I see if IOT is actually atomic but normal.

Like, just use a cli installer that can load a file to automate it. Or have a backup user password. There is an issue that addressed this, its old and closed, yeah.

Pantherina OP ,

Why is there apt-get and apt? Also on regular updates there are sometimes package conflicts that need manual configuration. Maybe -y deals with some.

Pantherina OP ,

Probably I got none, just this "do you want to use the maintainers version" which is always a bit confusing. VirtualBox also gave issues but just dont use that crap.

Pantherina ,

¼ / ½ = ¼ • 2 = 2/4 = ½

This is the reason why people should learn fractions

Pantherina ,

This is suuuper cool! So you just need a second android device and can run the UnifiedPush on there?

Pantherina ,

No the offline account trick still works.

Pantherina ,

No for sure thats criminal, but its possible. Rufus makes it easy with a single click to bypass it. But when not using that silly media creation tool Windows may not boot on Thinkpads etc.

Thinkpads with Windows are a joke, they are basically nonfunctional without all these lenovo drivers for anything.

Pantherina , (edited )

Custom Android versions are not ROMs, they are OSes

plural sucks though

Pantherina ,

Aah, perfection.

Pantherina ,

Systemd works well, but please split it up into seperate projects

Apple Walks Back Decision to Disable Home Screen Web Apps in the EU (www.macrumors.com)

Following the release of the second beta version of iOS 17.4, it emerged that Apple had restricted the functionality of iOS web apps in the EU. Web apps could no longer launch from the ‌Home Screen‌ in their own top-level window that takes up the entire screen, relegating them to a simple shortcut with an option to open...

Pantherina ,

And now they sell it as a feature, huh?

Pantherina ,

Incus is a weird name lol.

But jokes aside, I think Docker and Podman have more adaption?

Pantherina OP ,

So true. I prefer BBB a lot though.

Pantherina OP ,

Interesting. Yeah its very stable, supports tons of people in a room etc.

Pantherina ,

What exactly doesnt work over HDMI?

Pantherina ,

Every linux archive manager is better than windows crap.

  • mark multiple zips and extract, they all extract. Windows doesnt do that, it extracts one
  • fuck "open in new window" windows that is horrible UI and only works well on tiling window managers lol
  • allows to use ANY archive format
  • allows to extract and delete in one go, the most commonly used action
Pantherina ,

Better donate to 7zip lol

Pantherina ,

Okay I wanted to mention that there was pretty much no explorer alternative. But there is QTTabbar and Clover are a thing, and there are tons of other tools.

I think just nothing "looking like an improvement over explorer" on alternativeto.net

Overall, I dont know, Windows 10 was so ugly?? All those rectangles, the white theme, just ugly?

Pantherina ,

Sharing means less for 7zip, not approved

Pantherina ,

I have to always be 1/3 lol

Pantherina ,

X11 is insecure. Any program can read any keystroke, any windows contents, can input anything anywhere etc.

The concept of separate apps basically doesnt exist.

Pantherina ,

DEs should implement good commands for that

  • start session from tty (example startplasma-wayland)
  • logout (example qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 3 3)
  • restart wayland server (example kwin_wayland --replace)

Some of those are completely undiscoverable

Pantherina ,

Let me google that for you

Pantherina ,

They are working on it, while keeping the xorg session alive

Pantherina ,

Let me quack that for you then

Pantherina ,

No for not searching it up yourself lol

Pantherina ,

Haha me too, didnt know the third one

Pantherina ,

Yes and wayland is a puzzle piece of fixing that.

The other one is containerized apps that use a trusted system portal to get opt-in filesystem access to actually needed directories.

Pantherina ,

Quacking is just way better haha

Pantherina ,

Upstream should do versioning, the distribution model is flawed.

Pantherina ,

I mean Fedora is better for most. Or maybe opensuse tumbleweed / slowroll.

Things should roll per package but people should decide how long every package should be tested.

This would cause unique systems for many though, so some distro versioning, having testing, tested and very well tested makes sense.

Fedora has this when creeping at the second latest release until EOL afaik.

Pantherina ,

Plasma 6 is the most tested release EVER. There where at least 5 ways to test it, there was KDE Neon and a dedicated atomic Fedora image for it.

There are many bugs only fixed in Plasma 6.

So it is debateable

Pantherina ,

Until then, enjoy 5.27.x with unfixed bugs for 2 years ;D

Pantherina ,

There is an atomic image ready ,it still uses GDM (display managers are more complex to implement than you think) and I have the feeling it cant be the latest stuff, because it feels very incomplete.

Things like a populated dock etc are all missing, its upstream COSMIC.

Also there is no SELinux support yet, you can run it in permissive mode and should get all the errors needed to create one.

Join the Matrix Chat to discuss Fedora Cosmic.

Pantherina ,

KDE hasnt had, but 5.27 is pretty good.

Though, I know of and have reported a ton of bugs "Resolved in Plasma 6", where backports would make no sense as these architectural changes where so big.

Pantherina ,

I think backwards compatibility is the keyword here. That would be the biggest requirement to allow updates.

New bugs, and maybe for example new hardening policies needed, could be another one. Maybe a future firefox implements feature x and you want to / have to disable that.

But at the same time Firefox is the best example of upstream doing the versioning. They know when to freeze features and likely backport every security critical issue. Thats not the case with many other packages debian ships, where it just doesnt ship updates whatsoever.

Pantherina ,

Thats an extension

Pantherina ,

Never had this but yeah maybe. "Pay for binaries" is still free software though
