Sorry this happened to you. It is indeed correct that the Asahi installer does not support encryption, see https://github.com/AsahiLinux/asahi-installer/issues/137 It can be done, but it's not straightfo

Yes, it was. And by that, for instance also all docker images that derive from debian:testing, which is not that uncommon.

Yes, the binary "test files" were checked in. But the code that actually decompresses and executes the shell code in that file is in this m4 script, which only exists in the tar archive: https://salsa.debian.org/de

Yes, using a niche system is a good way to not getting hacked, but then, why would you use Linux at all? Looks like you'd be happier with OpenBSD, or maybe Plan9?

Note the malicious m4 build scripts were not checked into git, but only put in the released tar balls. You can see the original content here: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xz-utils/-/tree/debian/5.

The macro defined in build_to_host.m4 is probably called on the tests subdirectory, so it gets these files as a parameter. EDIT: It is called here and will do the extraction of the backdoor when run in the 'tests' subdirectory: h

Just to be clear (and this is also said in the video): the Mac classic could of course be equipped with 4M RAM through an expansion card. What was done here though is a direct replacement of the soldered-on RAM chips on the board itself wit

Maybe. It's open to interpretation, which is the problem. If the author of Atuin maybe sees this: While this not (yet?) a commercial project, it is highly problematic to advertise your product like this. You cannot just put the logos o

I can only repeat myself: the syncing is advertised as the main feature, it's the USP. There are plenty of other tools that improve ctrl+r.

by deng 3y ago
In "What you get with Atuin" the first(!) point is "Sync your shell history to all of your machines, wherever they are". That obviously cannot work with a local SQLite. Without syncing, this is a better ctrl+r, which I w

It's weird I have to say this, but from what I wrote it of course does NOT follow that ANYTHING that makes economic sense for a company cannot be discriminatory. That would be a dystopian rule straight out of an Ayn Rand novel.

That's actually a point worth discussing. Because here's one thing that should be obvious, but apparently many people are unaware of: if you work for a large, multi-national company, you are almost certainly affected by location-b

I also believe it's intentional, and it fits very well with the dystopian marketing towards young singles and divorced dads. However, this alone would be a showstopper for me. The idea to buy a 3.5k$ device, which is ideal for watching

Finally, a review that talks about that it is basically impossible to share this 3499$ device with others. This is such a glaring miss on Apple's part, I can't believe all the other reviewers simply ignored this fact.

I can only say that I did it with two phones, and every time it was a hassle. On your phone, you need to login with this "Mi account" and grant pretty much every permission there is. Then you need a Windows PC and install a dubiou

True, but of course Magisk is not part of LineageOS and is yet another part of the system you need to take care of (for instance, you usually need to remember to uninstall/re-install it before/after every OTA update).

by deng 3y ago
Note that this comparison is not entirely correct. For instance, LineageOS supports network-based location with UnifiedNlp. Android Auto works fine if you install GApps.

As already mentioned, OnePlus is the usual alternative. If you want it cheaper, I also have good experiences with Motorola phones. Unlocking requires you to register, but you can use a throwaway mail account and it has worked for me so far

He's not wrong, though. I've been an Emacs user for decades, I'm still using it and I don't regret the time I have invested in it. It motivated me to learn LISP and a ton of other stuff, I love orgmode, calc, Gnus, and I

You're right, I think it also can do this with directory components. I think if you'd type some like 'artic/emacs' it would actually work, but I cannot test at the moment. So no downvote from me.

I'm really struggling here: aside from baking and pressure cooking, why would you ever need a timer for cooking? Is that a cultural thing? Don't you guys see and taste when things are done? (And for pressure cooking, just get
