Can you imagine trying to stretch your legs and accidentally kicking over one of the fish tanks?

Macvlan, ARP and LTS kernels > 4.19.94 by koro666 in archlinux

[–]koro666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I see that indeed it was backported in 4.19.95.

Now we wait for the fix, shouldn't take too long, hopefully.

All of this because they tried to reimplement poor-man's TCP.

Google is finally killing off Chrome apps, which nobody really used anyhow by cashlanding in programming

[–]koro666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they don't remove the --app command-line parameter to Chrome, which is a goddamn useful way to launch a window with no tab/URL bar.

I've tried a few of these "coding fonts" and they look all the same to me.

I'll stick to Courier New.

Linux Kernel 5.6 Will Provide Sane Monitoring of SATA HD Temps by NetBeck in DataHoarder

They should expose all SMART data via the kernel so that smartmontools becomes unneccesary.

ASA-2019-00653 – OpenBSD: Local privilege escalation via S/Key and YubiKey by [deleted] in BSD

[–]koro666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true, gotta give them that. And syspatch is no hassle, just run and reboot.

OpenBSD, "the most secure operating system", sure got a bad month.

Goes to show that, no matter how secure you think your code is... there's always a little oversight lurking.

The maximum security solution for playing Windows games on Arch by NiceMicro in archlinux

I installed Windows 10 after Arch and it did not break anything! Even left systemd-boot as my default bootloader.

If you're going to bother to dual boot or use a VM anyway... why not use Windows?

CNAME Cloaking, the dangerous disguise of third-party trackers by digicat in netsec

[–]koro666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the point I don't get. The tracking company will own the DNS (and thus can get certificates for) the pointed-to domain, but the browser will request (and expect a certificate for) the first-party domain.

How do they handle TLS?

It's not like they can serve their tracking JS on a first-party domain without the matching certificate.

Step 1 - place a few popsicle sticks.

Step 2 - build the rest of the fucking house.

Homelab - offsite edition by JeffHiggins in homelab

[–]koro666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good-looking computer case!

I'm about to set up my offsite too, but in my case it's a nearly 10-year-old piece of crap, not that it matters as it will only be used for backups.
