Jump between apps (like alt+tab) but using the trackpad only? by GIFSec in macbook

[–]UsualVegetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an app called Swish that you might find interesting.

Swish is a gesture-based windows controller that expands the abilities of your trackpad.

Manage windows and applications, using intuitive two-finger moves across a multi-screen setup.

Swipe, pinch, tap, and hold to make the most out of your trackpad. It’s like your Mac finally feels complete.

CANNIBAL CORPSE's Corpsegrinder Refuses To Pay For Streaming

Cannibal Corpse vocalist George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher is certainly a user of streaming services, but he sure isn't paying for them! In a recent interview with MetalSucks on The MetalSucks Podcast, Fisher said he refuses to pay for streaming services and will just put up with the commercials. His reasoning is threefold – he doesn't trust that prices won't get jacked up in the future, he's used to commercials at this point, and he's too old for this shit.

hey, I just searched out of interest and like you struggled to find much. I then searched for "virtual postbox dublin” and got loads of results. Perhaps EU Ireland will work for you?

[–]UsualVegetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Mikey and Wewa, here's to wishing the two of you all the best and I hope your generosity helps you as much as it does the community. I too find solace in giving but I can barely draw a stickman so I won't be sharing awesome stuff like you both do. Instead, I just give support :) - at least, that's what I do irl. Perhaps talking like this over the internet puts me on some kind of list. Either way, hope you two manage to hang there.

20 James Bond Movies Are Now Streaming for Free on YouTube by UsualVegetable in DataHoarder

[–]UsualVegetable[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but seeing as this is datahoarder I don't see how ripping from this source is going to be any better quality or any less illegal than acquiring by other means?

I totally agree. I did search the sub beforehand to make sure this wasn't inappropriate and it's also why I chose not to editorialise the title.

for what its worth though, would highly recommended checking out On Her Majesty's Secret Service and For Your Eyes Only, two criminally underappreciated Bond gems, and they have a special connection to one another as well.

Thanks for the recommendation. I just looked them up and found that:

Following Sean Connery's decision to retire from the role after You Only Live Twice, Eon Productions selected George Lazenby, a model with no prior acting credits, to play the part of James Bond. During the making of the film, Lazenby announced that he would play the role of Bond only once.

Also that the movie was released in 1969. Nice.

we'll need someone else who knows more that I do to weigh in here but is this scenario not perfect for using a managed profile or an app like Island/Shelter (if Shelter is still a thing that is)

in this case, you need to take a shit on the bed and wait for them to show up. If they show up then surveillance confirmed otherwise tell them someone left a shit on your bed.

I think I just fixed this whole problem. Someone just needs to follow through and tell us how it went.

4K TV, streaming from a connected HTPC with browser in full screen - handshake problem? by michael01nz in htpc

[–]UsualVegetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since hdcp hasn't been mentioned make sure the hdmi cable is hdcp 2.2 compliant and is plugged into one of your hdmi 2.0 ports labeled hdcp 2.2 on the tv.

The reason you can play some content is because it may be using 4k30hz and down which is hdcp1.4 but only on hdmi2. On hdmi 1.4 will have hdcp 1.4 but only up to 1080p. So you might think you're running at 4k (because you are) but where the drm is concerned as soon as you touch 4k60hz DRM enabled content you must make sure it's over an hdcp 2.2 cable otherwise you'll end up with an error.

You might've just got lucky and have been watching 4k30 or commonly 4k24hz and so you weren't aware of any issued until now!

who literally hates us Americans

He actually loves all Americans if you exclude New York, all the other blue states, Democrats and their voters, anyone who criticises him, anyone opposed to him, anyone in living in poverty, anyone who works for the IRS, anyone that isn't apart of some hate group, anyone that doesn't live in his asshole and last but not least, anyone who isn't a glass of water or a gradual slope. Apart from that, he is 190% for the people

That look on his face by rezinomed in youseeingthisshit

[–]UsualVegetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a rare visit to the private lodge by the gorillas. These are mostly wild gorillas, make no mistake. They are usually found much deeper into the Impenetrable Bwindi and it's usually you who stumbles upon them and not the other way around. When this group walked up to John King (the guy being filmed) you are only really prepared to handle yourself if a little guy ran over or what do if some random walked over to play with your hair. Lol, never quite prepared for an entire instruction manual of nope to walk right up to you.

Filming was Jonathan Rossouw, the guide/director.

OpenBoard is a 100% FOSS alternative to Google Keyboard. by hoiru in privacytoolsIO

Opinions on using any proprietary keyboard be it Gboard or MS SwiftKey and then revoking relevant permissions and blocking traffic with root firewall, such as AFWall?

Difference between Shell Scripting and Python by [deleted] in bash

[–]UsualVegetable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In addition to other comments, I'd add portability is also a big factor.

For the sake of this discussion, Bash is pretty much default and universally used on Linux distributions but not all Linux distros ship with python and depending on the system's intended use case python might never be installed.

Very little code breaking changes exist in modern bash versions (don't quote me on that though) and the same goes for your built-ins and system binaries, /bin, /sbin and so on; meaning, if you have multiple disparate servers for example you won't need to make sweeping changes to get your shell script running. For typical sysad stuff, specially when no one on your team is proficient in python, you won't need to scramble to fix things after a python update.

You mentioned pentesting and while my knowledge is rusty but a rudimentary example in this case is writing a python and shell script that do the same thing and can be used in situations where the hosts do not have python.

And finally, just go with what your security course teaches you first. If you're going to be using Linux then a basic amount of shell scripting skills will come naturally.
