I experimented bubblewrap as a better alternative to firejail. Unfortunately there are scripts for few applications. It’s tool for developers. Users are better off flatpaks powered by bubblewrap .

This is something that everyone says and nobody does. Do your friends do that? The majority of people have no idea what is VPN or Tailscale and would be suspicious that you might be placing a hacking device or proxy for visiting bad website

I would just add that, consider that the chances that it will be commercially useful for you are lower than what you think.

Chomsky says it well. >> The meaning of life is what you make of it. Life does not have any meaning apart from that, for a human, a dog, a bacterium, or anything else. It is up to you what the meaning of your life is. So, it is partia

Even over the age 15, they have to be restricted. What are the benefits, with excessive use at least?

The quality of life in Canada has sadly declined in recent years. There is a major housing and affordability crisis, and loss of purchase power. Carney seems capable, but has a difficult hand.

I’m curious how does that $1.2 B lure those researchers? In my opinion, the only thing that may lure a small number of them is compensation.

Age is super clean and very nice. But I don’t think it will ever be a replacement for gpg (and might have already passed its window to replace it for file encryption). It just does file encryption. GPG does tons of other things that you wil

Flatpaks, from the source if available, are excellent: you get the latest versions of the app from the official source, with permissions set for a pretty locked-down sandbox. What’s not to like, I’m curious? The storage is cheap these days,

A good thing thing about Nextcloud is that by learning one tool, you get a full suite of collaboration apps: sync, file sharing, calendar, notes, collectives, office (via Collabora or OnlyOffice), and more. These features are pretty good, p

Desktop apps: PDF viewer, office applications, playing video and audio, IDEs or editors at least, … If they support flatpaks, it might be good enough.

How is the situation with applications in BSD? I never see an app released for FreeBSD. There are usually Deb and rpm files. I suppose FreeBSD adapts and releases some them in their ports. But how is the coverage? Another issue is the hardw

EU is very good in useless consortia. It’s cultural, and everywhere. Yet, a consortium of 27 countries can’t defend itself against one country.

Useful service in my opinion. There are tons of people who would want to expose their employer. But the team must be known, and the company should be transparent.

I could open a port to the internet, but it would be Tailscale’s responsibility to secure the software that listens to the port (subject to an up-to-date software, that is my responsibility). It’s not a standard Wireguard port. With Wiregua

Great! This feature made a lot of sense, and it took a long time. It’s like falling back to hub and spoke, except that the traffic is end to end encrypted, and the middle node is used only when direct connection is not possible, and for som

Overleaf also compiles instantly in the browser using a hosted TeXLive 2025 engine. Difference more clearly?

Why do we need so many random distributions? There are so many Linux operating systems and their forks. The difference between some of them is just a matter of flavor. Just for Ubuntu: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu

Related to this topic, what is the best way to replace the code involved in the entire boot process? This is useful when sanitizing a system received from a provider that may not be trustworthy, as malware could be hidden at low levels. The

It includes most of the essential features, and I’d say it’s excellent for professional use. I’ve been running an instance for many years on a VPS for work collaboration, and it’s been perfect. It’s now hosted behind Cloudflare Tunnels, wit

Security researchers exploited multiple Synology and QNAP devices (NAS, IP cameras, even routers), gaining root access. In one case, QNAP still had a hard coded password, after all security incidents in previous years. One of the bugs was k

There is advice to talk to upper manager or HR. You could do it, but it won’t solve the issue. If it was easy, there wouldn’t be these problems in the first place. In situations like this, the best solution is expose externally and leave.
