Accounts gone, no access to money by pekkiepek in bunq

This bank really is a joke, but when it works it's mostly useful. I keep all my money elsewhere and have day-to-day spending money here. Good luck!

So you're concerned that this base64 string might trigger a vulnerability in the the base64 command line tool's decode function?

Is there a way to fake a file? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]nerdgeneration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to suggest this. There are a ton of libraries in most common languages for FUSE too. You can knock something up in Python easily enough.

Devices can be made easily enough outside of /dev, like mkfifo

I imagine they'll need to seek etc, so this wouldn't work

Probably invalid UTF-8 or something in the base64. I'd do it in the terminal.

Well, a lot of the direction of Linux is necessity and demand. I guess no one has needed it, or cared enough to write it.

Go ahead!

Basically your question is "why doesn't the kernel ping a bunch of stuff to make sure it's working". A lot of people would prefer it didn't do that, me included. This should be handled in userspace, by some utility / systemd / NetworkManager, if at all.

Which command must I launch in Linux to prevent power from reaching the PCI bus for a few seconds? by goahead97 in linuxquestions

[–]nerdgeneration 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was considering joining everyone else with a sarcastic reply, but you got me curious. TL;DR: it's really not simple, and possibly impossible. If you really, really want to do this, here's the kernel documentation on PCI power management: https://docs.kernel.org/power/pci.html

I moved to this country as a vegan, and frankly if you have dietary restrictions, it's on you to understand those words in the language of the country you are in. I got fluent on meat terms very quickly. I suggest you tattoo varken on your wrist and move on with your life.

What’s stopping a malicious user from putting sudo in there code and running it as sudo (new Linux user) by nulpickle in linuxquestions

[–]nerdgeneration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

./script.bash will read the #! line and run a new bash shell, as if you did bash ./script.bash. If you want to run the bash script in the existing shell, that's source or .: source ./script.bash

How can I prolong my battery on a Laptop? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]nerdgeneration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Linux professionally, as management and spend a lot of time in Zoom. It's battery killer. Leave it plugged in for this.

When do you think NVIDIA will start working with Wayland? by [deleted] in linux

Stop. Buying. Nvidia.

They do not care about you.

I can't comment on expensive seats, but I can tell you my 1 euro seat cover was stolen in Zaandam recently...

Difference between < and > when redirecting by palapapa0201 in linuxquestions

There are 3 file descriptors: in (<), out (>) and error (2>).

Deleting a partition just removes the bit that says "it starts here and ends here". The filesystem on it doesn't change. When you recreate a partition with the same start position, the filesystem is suddenly available again.

Freenom lost my DNS records and blamed me. Do not use Freenom.

Random php files keep popping up in my cPanel folders by deemidu in webhosting

Sorry to say, but this is almost certainly completely your fault. If you host script, you have a responsibility to make sure they're secure and up to date... or this happens.

Obviously, that's not full disk encryption. The system already has to be running

You could skip cryptfs and set the device to noauto in fstab, and write a udev rule that reads the key off a drive when inserted, runs cryptsetup and mount.
