KarnaSubarna, to opensource in XZ Hack - "If this timeline is correct, it’s not the modus operandi of a hobbyist. [...] It wouldn’t be surprising if it was paid for by a state actor."

Definitely state sponsored attack. It could be any nation - US to North Korea, and any other nation in between.

KarnaSubarna, to linux in As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?
@KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml avatar

Installed OpenWRT on my NetGear router like 2 years back, and it didn’t give me any trouble since then. BTW, the amount of configuration options it offer is mindbogglingly.

Known issues and limitations


<span style="color:#323232;">Currently, Intel x86_64 is the only supported host platform.

Docker can be run in rootless mode[1]. Ideally that should be the standard mode unless you have specific requirements not satisfied by rootless mode.

KarnaSubarna, to linux in Use work laptop as personal device by dual booting on a separate internal drive?
@KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml avatar

In most cases, work laptops have software(s) installed to automatically keep track of these activities, and flag it to security team of your organization. At that point, it will either lead to a formal warning to you, or termination/forced resignation.

From organization point of view, this is to avoid any accidental (or intentional) leak of confidential data, and/or accidentally (or intentionally) infecting your (work) system with malware/ransomware.

The latter had happened in one of my previous organizations, and the person responsible was terminated from job immediately.

KarnaSubarna, to linux in Is Linux pretty much unusable with an Nvidia GPU?
@KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml avatar

I actually own a steam deck and I never had any major issues with it, so my only conclusion is that this time it’s the fault of either linux mint

Isn’t Steam Deck use AMD and not NVIDIA? Btw, playing CS:GO2 on Nvidia 3070 Ti on Linux desktop using driver version 545 doesn’t give me a major issue so far.
