    I mean, he's in a similar situation as Toby fox. He has the freedom to spend as much time as he wants on developing updates without worrying about money, so he doesn't need to charge anything or ask money from players.

    The part of the effect that gives reach is only on your turn, so it's useless. It was probably meant to be haste instead. It's a minor thing but still weird to see on a released card

    That's true. Also I guess domain names in most ideogram-based languages cannot be meaningfully converted to ASCII. The best detection method I'm aware of is detecting a mix of different alphabets in the domain, but I imagine even this has a lot of false positives

    This should be ON by default, in my opinion. Also, I believe Mozilla has a massive opportunity here to demarcate themselves as the more security-conscious browser vendor. "This phishing trick works on all major browsers except Firefox" would be great publicity material.

    It's open-source merely to comply with the GPL license of the kernel, but the fact is that an Android image built only from open source components will be extremely crippled or, depending on your point of view, basically useless. Such an image will not even boot on the majority of devices ; you'll need those sweet proprietary driver blobs if you want your phone to do anything, and a bunch more closed source binaries in order to use Play services.

  • linux Linux Any idea how I can make a tmux alias for ssh?
    Jump
  • gammarays gammarays 1 year ago 100%

    In tmux, you usually set configuration options with set -g in tmux.conf. "-g" sets a global option which will apply to all new windows and sessions, otherwise the option applies only for the current window, which is usually not what you want.

    Since command-alias is an array, you can use the -a flag to append a new value at the end.

    With that said, try this:

    set -ga command-alias s="new-window ssh foo"
    

    Keep in mind that run in tmux runs a shell command in the background, so you most likely want to use something like new-window or new-session instead.

    If you aren't starting your container with the -it options (for docker run), try setting them so that it allocates a tty. The fact that it works with SSH however makes me think that perhaps the Synology task runner can't run interactive commands like docker attach because it has no stdin. In that case you'll need to do something like this: https://serverfault.com/questions/885765/how-to-send-text-to-stdin-of-docker-container/947763#947763 to pipe the stop command into the stdin of the bedrock server.

    Perhaps SELinux on desktop is the way to go as other posts are suggesting, although I heard that it has some usability problems and can break some programs.

    You might be legitimately annoyed by the amount of free antivirus software on Windows that don't offer good protection, on top of being filled with ads. But I don't agree that scanning for malicious files and preventing dangerous commands (regardless of how good the implementation is) can be labelled as snake oil.

    I don't understand why we keep telling new users that it is useless to use an antivirus on Linux. For people with computer knowledge, sure. However more widespread Linux adoption will mean more casual users will start using it. Most of them don't have the "common sense" that is often mentioned ; these users will eventually fall for scams that tell them to run programs attached in emails or random bash scripts from the internet. The possibility is small, but it's not zero, so why not protect against it?

    Jump
  • gammarays gammarays 1 year ago 100%

    For large GUI-based programs such as photo editing, drawing (Krita), 3D modeling (Blender), etc, there are 3 main ways to install them, each with pros and cons:

    • using apt

      • Pros: integrates with system libraries, version is curated by Mint/Ubuntu maintainers and usually more stable

      • Cons: lags a few versions behind upstream, especially when the next Ubuntu LTS is nearing release it can be quite out-of-date

    • download a deb or tar.gz release from the project's website or GitHub

      • Pros: you get the latest version

      • Cons: does not update automatically

    • using flatpak

      • Pros: has the latest version, solves some visual compatibility issues (Qt apps on GNOME for example)

      • Cons: takes more disk space because dependencies are duplicated, sandboxing can break some features

    Personally I try to use apt first, unless the version is really old then I try the tar.gz install and finally flatpak. Which method you choose is up to you.

I thought Valve wasn't the kind of company to change their interface for no apparent reason and cause plenty of regressions in the process (looking at you Apple) but I was wrong apparently. I might try Endeavour on a live USB and see if the same thing happens
