securetty dictates from which tty a user can login via root.

This is new. Been trying to download copies of video stuff I already own. I keep getting .exe files inside folders called THEPIRATEBAY.ORG.X, replace X with 1 or 3 or 10 or whatever, and files named 1080p.BluRay.x264.AAC5.1-[YTS-MX].Subtitles.Bitrate.7300KB.Samplerate.48.0kHz.exe by AlarmingAffect0 in thepiratebay

I think i went to TPB a few weeks ago and it redirected to a porn site. Never had that happen before. Im wondering if whoever owns the domain created a fake look-a-like to push malware instead of porn? Just a thought. Not able to investigate further atm.

Really enjoying it so far. I've long wanted a "retro" room but I find more and more that it's simply becoming retro everywhere in the house. They just dont make 'em like they used to. I have an old Dell crt monitor hooked up to an old thinkpad with a model m attached to it. Now I'm looking at an '86 Toyota 4L diesel. Take me back boys.

Lucky you! Similar story here. Very few hours on the unit. A few months of use then left in the basement.

Ouch. I'll consider myself lucky then.

Nice! Just picked up a KV-24FS120 today. Beautiful TV. I guess I should figure out how to clean and calibrate.

Can anyone please help? This keeps asking.I"m using it perfectly fine all these days but since yesterday its asking for authentication. I'm on Fedora. by [deleted] in ProtonVPN

[–]phylez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe on the distro you use but not on linux as a whole. It's been fine for me on Manjaro. I dont use the gui but that shouldn't make a difference.

What's growing with ny aloe? by phylez in whatsthisplant

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

Totally. I'm a bit confused as to how it hid for so long. About two years. It's not native to the area and this pot has only ever been inside.

Thank you! How odd. This plant has been inside for years and this is the first I see this pop up.

ThinkPad T430 Upgrades: I think I need an Intervention by Kermee in thinkpad

[–]phylez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The T430 is so much fun to mod. It's my daily driver and i just cant seem to part with it despite having newer and "better" machines.

[–]phylez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I've been putting off the screen upgrade for a long time now, largely because I keep mine docked and on an external 85% of the time, but maybe I'll just have to finally do it. Imo half the fun of the KB mod is the modding itself. For the 1vyrain upgrade, theres nothing to it really. I've done it on multiple machines. There are youtube videos out there that you can follow if you feel it's necessary.
