Wait, does that mean xmonad will get to live a tiny bit longer?

It’s so sad to see that voice of reason is trampled over like this. To see how bad is running Linux on phones, just ask the grapheneos folks. Linux phones have looong way to go compared to AOSP.

True, but asking user about permission to home folder vs. granting permission by default is huge difference. Also doesn’t flatpak also grant other permissions the app wants as well? Like the Mic permission.

While lots of this is problem of desktops in general, but:

• Linux applications can access your entire home folder, which likely contains most of your data. It can also access e.g. state of other applications, which can be bad.
• While flatpak somewhat mitigates the issues, it is half-baked: permissions are granted directly when you install the app, and user has to manually revoke the permission - Needing e.g. FlatSeal for this is insane as well. With Android/iOS, the user only grants permission when needed, which reduces lots of attack surfaces.
  • Doesn’t too many apps want your home folder access by default? If you think about it, it is a huge security issue - you basically have to trust the app to keep your secrets intact.
  • Mic access can be very problematic, esp when it would be enabled by default if app requests it. Although I don’t know to which extent this would be abused.

Pardon my ignorance, but why people keep trying Linux phones when you can develop on top of open source android version, like GrapheneOS? Linux desktop apps are not exactly secure.

Dumb me cannot get it

O hello, the one and only other ItB player! How was the mech chess today

And I thought the year of linux desktop was coming…

Honestly, I believe technical progress has grinded to a halt. Moore’s law was broken with regards to hardware. I cannot think of novel tech after smartphones. Now, it feels like everything new is a wealth hoarding scheme by corporate greed.

I see, guess I was overly paranoid. Bitwarden sounds good, then!

Wrong parts of reddit are starting to show up on lemmy

But I have been here for a year!

Indeed, I don’t get the post. Does OP genuinely think they could influence Affinity to support linux? Via freaking change.org?? Really, why is the post so well-received by community? Got so many questions.

Thanks, but I looked up and learned to prefer the idempotence to be handled by ansible. Ansible support iptables by default, while nftables need a plugin, so iptables it is for me.

Wait. I got the format warning in caddy, so does this mean it could contain substantial error? I gotta check

Thanks! I gotta get my hands on Ansible, was reluctant as I’ve heard it can be complicated. Should see myself!

Fortunately my VPS (oracle) has set SSH authentication to be default. Disallowing root login sounds good, gotta try that as well.

Thanks, I will try fail2ban. I am using ED25519 for ssh keys, it seems like it’s the best defense on the ssh side. Do you happen to know why this kind of attack is so prevalent?

Thanks a lot! Geoblocking makes a lot of sense, will try!

Thanks, though Shorewall looks intimidating. Do you have any good resources to go over how to set it up?

Thanks, but I am worried about relying on small repo like this. EDIT: But it did made me realize Goodnotes support WebDAV, thanks!
