5·6 days agoOne of my favorites is Batman: Arkham Knight. It uses Unreal Engine 3 and looks shockingly good despite it. Goes to show how much art direction matters.

181·9 days agoThe post is just a word salad with not much meaning, never talks about the title and repeats it in the last paragraph, and with no source.
Just a waste of time, don’t bother reading.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Timing Flaw in systemd Cleanup Enables Root Privilege Escalation
31·13 days agoI don’t see how systemd is in the wrong here. Curious, what would you change about it?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Timing Flaw in systemd Cleanup Enables Root Privilege Escalation
7·13 days agoWhen I need to create scratch files I usually operate in
/tmp. Almost all directories there that I saw were using randomized paths (e.g. UUIDs). I guess this is to prevent problems mentioned in the article. So, I believe this would be a vulnerability of snap, not systemd.I use Fedora where
/tmpis created as tmpfs, which lives in RAM and is cleared when the system is shut down. I wonder what’s the benefit of Ubuntu’s approach.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Tech Talk: How Electron went Wayland-native, and what it means for your apps | Electron
71·17 days agoDo they imply Wayland forces apps to have CSDs? It is only GNOME that does it.
I run it in a rootless Podman container using Quadlets. Instead of opening the server’s ssh port, I only port-forward the container’s ssh port (e.g. 22 -> 2222). I have sign-ups enabled, since I want people to be able to contribute (or just create issues). But I have configured the server so that nobody can create a repository. They can still fork my repos and send a pull request.
I have yet to experiment with Actions. I assume the safest option would be to only enable it for my own commits, but I am not sure.
Voyager has a built-in option for kaomoji and it puts 3 backslashes for it

Technology@lemmy.world•Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB fieldEnglish
189·21 days agoIt doesn’t need to know your age. It just provides a way to take a note of your birth date, only if you want to. The system already has a place to write your name and home address. All are optional and practically nobody uses them.

4610·21 days agoSystemd isn’t an init system. Systemd-init is an init system and it is a part of the systemd suite.
Well, some people called me paranoid and said “us regular people don’t have anything to hide” when I told them how much data Meta collects about us. Of course, this frustrated me as my threat model is very small compared to most people here.
I explained how free services where instead the user is the product work, and how much I disagree with this model. I informed them that I use FOSS almost everywhere and that they exist for the greater good of humanity.
Signal’s not great for privacy either tbf
Why do you think so? Yeah, it is not anonymous due to requiring a phone number, but all media and metadata are end-to-end encrypted.
