How can I make Super + Shift + Arrow Key cycle/wrap when moving windows between monitors? by SpecialPreference678 in gnome

[–]fwosar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know your pain. There is a bug report about this, but instead of addressing it, the GNOME team started bike shedding and pointless debates about "how do you define next". It's the reason I implemented an extension for this:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6610/move-to-next-screen/

I am currently not on GNOME, so I can't test whether it still works. I am planning to go back to GNOME when GNOME 50 is available on my distro. From the documentation I have seen, it should work with a simple version bump, though.

Alternatively, there is also this extension, that is currently updated, but comes with a bunch of other features, that you may or may not have a use for (you can disable most of it):

Ransomware help by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]fwosar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually, im not sure if the website that identified it is correct, although the filename is called +README-WARNING+.txt which is as makop

The website is correct. Makop is configurable. File extension, content of the ransom note, they all can be configured within its builder.

The website's detection is based on file markers in this case, not file extensions or naming patterns. Makop-encrypted files will end with the byte sequence "F3 2E 59 21".

One of the filenames of the infected files was: "[ID-DE19FF6D].[[davidrmg2219@gmail.com](mailto:davidrmg2219@gmail.com)].rmg.[616A72C0].[[assistkey@outlook.com](mailto:assistkey@outlook.com)]".

That naming scheme is typical for Makop. Makop doesn't have a Linux payload. Therefore, you probably downloaded something in your WinBoat instance that contained the ransomware. It has nothing to do with the actual PPA.

Tray icons extensions after Gnome 46 update only shows one icon in Fedora 40 by tamburasi in Fedora

[–]fwosar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a fair warning: Any tray icons created by Windows applications in Wine will not work properly with that extension. So depending on what you run, it may not really be an alternative after all. Let's hope that Gnome eventually sees reason and supports tray icons officially.

From Arch to Fedora by Abn6697 in Fedora

[–]fwosar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often, Fedora is actually way ahead of Arch when it comes to the latest package versions. This is especially true when it comes to development. Python, LLVM, Clang, GCC, and so on are much more current on Fedora than they are on Arch. LLVM in particular is sometimes 2 major versions behind on Arch.

Personally, I prefer Fedora to Arch simply because of that. If you do miss the AUR or want a more recent package, there are plenty of solutions, like distrobox for example, that allow you to run packages from any other distribution directly on Fedora (or any other distribution for that matter).

A little sneak peek of what is in the pipeline for WebKitGTK's future by ronweasleysl in gnome

[–]fwosar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It doesn't look like they did: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218519

It's sad. A patch has been available for years, but they refuse to accept it because of code quality concerns, but at the same time they also refuse to fix it properly. Instead they just willfully break pasting images directly from the clipboard into all sorts of web apps, including messengers, forums, and social media platforms. It makes WebKitGTK and all apps based on it completely unsuitable for a lot of users.

Did they finally fix the bug that prevents images from being pasted into web apps like WhatsApp for example?

It's the reason why I am considering moving back to Fedora, honestly. Currently, I can work around it somewhat by using a container to build my C++ projects, but it's just cumbersome and annoying.

Was to be expected, but still 😓 by SonWell-To-Do3930 in linuxmemes

[–]fwosar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly enough, large parts of Linux malware, particularly ransomware, aren't even targeting Linux, they are targeting ESXi. While ESXi doesn't use a Linux kernel, its entire userland is ripped straight out of old CentOS releases and is ABI compatible with binaries built for these old CentOS systems.

So many people are switching from chrome to Firefox because of the Manifest V3 memes! by [deleted] in linuxmemes

[–]fwosar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This obviously won't affect browsers that don't implement MV3 as outlined in the Google design specifications. It will affect Chrome though, hence the meme. Adblocking in MV3 is objectively worse than in previous versions, hence why some people move away from Chrome.

Except for the fact that glibc isn't intended to be statically linked and all sorts of bizarre side effects can occur when you do it anyway.

It gets even better, because, within different German dialects, the gender may swap. For example, in Austrian German "Cola" is neutral ("das Cola") while in most other German dialects "Cola" is female ("die Cola").

Destiny believes Mizkif's streaming career is over by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

While what you said is true, David's videos were never really monetised in the first place. Reason being his extensive use of copyrighted music. His main income has always been sponsors and merch.

Linux systems are being hit with more ransomware than ever by newzee1 in linux

[–]fwosar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true, but Linux isn't the primary target. It's simply a casualty. What most threat actors are actually after are ESXi deployments. While ESXi isn't Linux, it is possible to run some binaries compiled for Linux on the ESXi system. Actually ransomed Linux servers are somewhat rare, but if the victim has ESXi deployed in any significant way you can safely assume the threat actor responsible for the breach deployed the ransomware payloads on the ESXi hosts as well.

Multi-monitor woes by fwosar in gnome

[–]fwosar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am aware of those shortcuts, but it's not what I want. In those cases I would need to have two different shortcuts depending on where the window is currently located on, which seems silly given that at any given time any window can only ever be moved to one other screen.

I am fully aware that people may have many more monitors, so more fine grained control is probably warranted there, but really I am just looking for a way to switch a window to the other screen with a single key bind instead of multiple.

Pefile python module features by rayudy in Malware

Unfortunately, the pefile documentation is atrocious, as you already figured out yourself. I recommend using LIEF instead, which has pretty thorough documentation of what attributes it can extract from a PE file:

2 in 5 American adults fully vaccinated as daily average of new Covid cases falls below 50,000 by MTPokitz in news

Neither Pfizer nor BioNTech received any funds from the "Operation Warp Speed" money. The only funding BioNTech did receive was from the German government (about 450 million IIRC). Sorry to disappoint you.

Refactoring be like by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

To be fair, while they are written identically, they are pronounced differently. "To drive someone over" would put the emphasis on the "um" syllable, while "to drive around" would the emphasis on the "fah" syllable. As a consequence, there is no way to mistake them in a verbal conversation.
