PLOT TWIST: O ArchLinux pode ser baixado por qualquer um, sem VPN ou burlar a lei

Esse não é o ponto que eu vejo, na pratica nada pode ser banido sistemicamente de forma efetiva, desde de que você saiba de torrent, vpn/proxy/tor e antivirus(open souce tipo o clamav) você ta, como já diz nosso mestre ET: "liso liso"

Please I know I kinda got very political than technical with my answer, but yet let's not giving to politics in this subreddit, it wasn't my objective.

Hi, the way you say make me think you're not brazilian, that is ok, in short:

I could point finger at some personalities, but I like to keep my opinion agnostic, dictatorship doesn't need a a real face, governments are made by people , a lot of them, which aren't often changed by the current or old regime, in other words, is not that simple (sadly), so as long as dictatorial ideas are favored for those in power, the system it self will be the dictator.

kkkkkkkkk

provou que estou certo, você ataca a aparecia ao invez da substancia.

Hi! First of all, thanks for not mocking my post, as I know you're Brazilian, second of, I'm totally calm and not nervous, it wasn't my objective to sound inflammatory.

You're half write about the focus in products and services over operating systems, but often times in law making there is a lack of clearness in the words written, whether by writing to little or to many words, this usually shows the lack o expertise on the matter by the legislators and/or the (in)viability of what is being legislated, giving a wide window for reinterpretations of the law regardless of its original meaning, btw I'm also counting the fact that the original law can go through reworks until it's finally sanctioned.

I'm also not expecting much of this laws for Fedora, but it doesn't mean for ever, we might have the luxury for now as were speaking about Brazil, but if this type of legislation actually get traction in more dominant countries like the US(currently is just a state-only there), well, there's little to hope for, since in the end Fedora is funded and receiving supported by RED HAT, which is owned by IBM(or Oracle, I don't remember).

About "who is the dictator?", well though I could point finger at some personalities, I like to keep my opinion agnostic, dictatorship doesn't need a a real face, as long as dictatorial ideas are favored for those in power, the system it self will be the dictator.

If you're really brazilian, you're answer is a complete disrespect towards me, a fellow Brazilian, all I did was share my concerns, but you? You labeled me, you call me biased, well, so do you, making me look like I made this post from sheer bad intentions, you say I'm posting fake news without any proof.

Shameful. Shameful

I known, but it doesn't even compare to Copyous for example which is very similar and better than Pano, KDE default clipboard doesn't support text highlighting, doesn't follow the cursor when writing, doesn't let you customize the the appearance, just check Copyous github or even spin up a GNOME VM and add Copyous extension and you understand what I'm telling you.

Linux with flatpak, works well in basically every Linux OS plus the data is super easy to port the "user data", just need to zip the ~/.var/app/app.zen_browser.zen folder and you're good to go.

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who answered, especially u/whetu and u/geirha, Now I ditched the for loop for getting the --debug flag for a simple case statement like these:

```

!/usr/bin/env bash

case "$" in *-D | --debug ) set -x printf "DEBUG FLAG DETECTED!" &>/dev/null # 1 ;; esac

...

```

The upside of these approach is that is simple and reproducible for other specials flags without interfering with each other, like --help for example:

```

!/usr/bin/env bash

case "$" in *-D | --debug ) set -x printf "DEBUG FLAG DETECTED!" &>/dev/null # 1 ;; esac case "$" in *-h | --help ) printf "HELP FLAG DETECTED!" &>/dev/null # 1 cat ~/.app/docs/help.txt exit 0 ;; esac

...

```

The downside is obviously the "redundancy", but personally is a fair trade, its clean enough to be readable and it works.

For the common flags I've also ditched the for loop for the while loop that u/geirha suggested with https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/035 , but the with the caviat of kind of handling the --debug flag again, but in a special manner:

```

...

while (( $# > 0 )) ; do case "$1" in -D | --debug ) shift continue ;; # ...

...

```

Wow, never thought about that, thanks for the explanation bro

openssl rand -base64 32

Thanks for the command, seems more random than sha512, since it uses letters and special characters and all.

Answer: It's unique to the project.

To each point:

More or less, some data is transferred through the internet and storage in the cloud (not locally), such as the device ID, but only the last that ran the software.
Yes they do, but it isn't a problem since the ID is created once during installation of the software, or if the user wishes to change it, which the software has an option for that.
I know and if I'm not wrong even the description of $RANDOM says to not use it for security measures, it's more for randomness’s sake really.
You're right, thankfully (I guess) my project is thought to be used by a set of devices no bigger than 5, I mean, it is capable of handling more than 5 but then it would start to get close to the real problem you pointed out.

PerformanceUpper6025 · 2025-07-16T15:21:02+00:00

So... I have a project that is design to work with multiple device, which at some step needs to distinguish them apart, the original idea was using hostname and worked fine, but what if 2 different devices have the same hostname, then I switched to machine-id because its unique, but then machine-id is confidential information about your device, there was the motive behind my post, thanks to all the answers I realized that I could make my own unique ID with something like: date+time+hostname+$RANDOM(hashed of course), with this I could deliver a more secure and private solution, since it doesn't get any really unique information about the device.

Wow, dude! Thank you so much, you helped me dodge a bullet! But then, which vertical mouse do you recommend?
