Why are you using Arch as a reference for ubuntu? Also… I have secure boot on and I run arch and have for the last 5 + years it runs just fine lol

Oh this looks very clean! Great work and love arch

True I’ve seen much worse as well though. And even if this is just trolling it’s still incredibly disturbing and wrong that reddit doesn’t take action towards stuff like this.

Who jokes about this kind of stuff?

Uhh no… I just uhh… Exposed him… he sent me a message… So I uh… went along with it. It’s bad

No you just don’t get my point lol

I’m sorry what do you mean?

I’m not trying to make it better. I’m trying to make the internet as a whole safer for everyone. This isn’t just about reddit why can’t you see that? Lol

I’ll just delete this post but all I’m saying is they sent me a message for some reason and they said they wanted to confess so I went along with it to see how far it would go and I’m 100 percent on this one and it’s really bad.

My point in this post isn’t directed at reddit as much as it is about being on the internet as a whole and making it a safer place for everyone not just reddit.

I don’t like reddit at all I just want to keep people safe is all

Eh I’m being made fun of and ridiculed now.

And supposedly what I just showed isn’t morally wrong…

The people in this comment section are the issue here not me.

Thank you for being nice to me

“what should be done about people who don’t want it to be safer”

Are you fucking for real?

And somehow I’m the one that’s part of this problem?

Re read your comment buddy…

You’re the problem

You all attack me and then say something as fucking stupid as that 💀

did you fail to see the part that talks about sex with animals?

why are you people so dense

or the part that talks about drugging someone with sleeping pills so they can have sex with their own family member?

you might want to learn how to read or better yet learn what is legal and illegal

All I had to do was report a pedophile with direct proof to get me banned and it got them a temp 7 day ban -_-.

Reddit is disgusting

HotBoxghost2743,
@HotBoxghost2743@lemmy.ml avatar

Then you have to wait. And advertise your community on social media or something… you started a community it’s not going to open right away. It takes time for people to find it

Some dude admitted to grooming a girl and having sex and a relationship with a 16 year old dude is 27 so I reported it on an alt account

Now keep in mind I am banned from reddit like IP banned so I got on a new account through a VPN and reported this person. This report came back and they temp backend them for 7 days and I woke up the next morning getting perma banned

Now obviously there’s a reason why I was permanently banned for the 12th time but I keep doing this to piss them off and prove a point

I report accounts like these and harass the people and scare them off reddit

All I did was try to keep people safe and that’s why I’m banned.

Some dude also admitted to jerking off into a girl’s water bottle at the gym when she walked away then he admitted to watching her drink it

Like… Wtf is wrong with people and why do they get away with this shit

Look at what I just posted in this sub. I got a lot worse stuff as well

ClamAV is really only used to check for cross virus contamination. It’s a tool that checks for windows malware inside of Linux.

Linux doesn’t need any malware software. The way Linux runs and works is already way more secure in itself, almost everything you’ll ever download is pre compiled intro software repositories that are checked constantly.

The only way you’ll catch a virus on Linux is being dumb and clicking ads or downloading something from untrusted sources like websites that could be fake but look real.

What don’t you completely understand about Linux firewall? I don’t mind helping you learn

HotBoxghost2743,
@HotBoxghost2743@lemmy.ml avatar

There are way more viruses written for windows than there is for Linux

  1. Linux users find viruses and they report them and then everyone works on a fix for it and it gets patched as soon as possible. This is why open sourced code is good.
  2. Windows takes forever to fix or patch viruses most of the time they probably dont even care.

Everything virus related or even bug related gets patched almost immediately under Linux

Also… Everything you install on Linux is pre compiled and ore configured inside a package manager and these packages get checked constantly for bugs and viruses. Theres almost no need to install anything on Linux from websites that could be compromised

Out of the 13 years I have been using Linux I haven’t Once caught a virus but I also study malware and write malware so I also understand it more on a deep level.

But honestly it’s very hard to catch a virus on Linux

The main one everybody uses at least from my knowledge and from what I’ve used over the last 13 years is UFW. That is what you want to use.

A firewall is very important not just for being on public Wi-Fi connections. A firewall is your extra layer of protection

I don’t know what Distro you run. But it’s almost the same for each one

digitalocean.com/…/how-to-set-up-a-firewall-with-…

UFW is installed by default on Ubuntu. If it has been uninstalled for some reason, you can install it with sudo apt install ufw.

Using IPv6

sudo nano /etc/default/ufw

That command should come back with this

IPV6=yes

Save and close the file. Now, when UFW is enabled, it will be configured to write both IPv4 and IPv6 firewall rules. However, before enabling UFW, we will want to ensure that your firewall is configured to allow you to connect via SSH. Let’s start with setting the default policies.

Setting up default policies

sudo ufw default deny incoming sudo ufw default allow outgoing

These commands set the defaults to deny incoming and allow outgoing connections. These firewall defaults alone might suffice for a personal computer, but servers typically need to respond to incoming requests from outside users. We’ll look into that next.

To configure your server to allow incoming SSH connections, you can use this command:


<span style="color:#323232;">sudo ufw allow ssh
</span>

This will create firewall rules that will allow all connections on port 22, which is the port that the SSH daemon listens on by default. UFW knows what port allow ssh means because it’s listed as a service in the /etc/services file.

However, we can actually write the equivalent rule by specifying the port instead of the service name. For example, this command works the same as the one above:


<span style="color:#323232;">sudo ufw allow 22
</span>

If you configured your SSH daemon to use a different port, you will have to specify the appropriate port. For example, if your SSH server is listening on port 2222, you can use this command to allow connections on that port:


<span style="color:#323232;">sudo ufw allow 2222
</span>

To enable UFW, use this command:


<span style="color:#323232;">sudo ufw enable
</span>

I know all this already. But I also use arch and have been for the last 6+ years and I use ufw lol

Tumbleweed is rolling release so just make sure you snapshot your system once before an update and once after just Incase something goes wrong

@HotBoxghost2743@lemmy.ml avatar

Oh yeah that’s right. I totally forgot ooensuse does that 😆 been a long time since I’ve used it.

I’m on Arch myself. Been a Linux user for 15 years I love it

Thanks for reminding me

That’s awesome! Enjoy

Steam On Linux Usage Spikes To Nearly 2% In July, Larger Marketshare Than Apple macOS (www.phoronix.com)

According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! That’s a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most months… It’s also near an all-time high on a percentage basis going back to the early days of Steam on Linux when it had around a 2%...

I also noticed that. It takes all the pressure off me though because I’m an arch user and have been for 10 years 😂

Pop OS is based off of Ubuntu so I mean makes sense.

PSA: Reddit is refunding active Premium memberships, despite their official stance

I’ve recently contacted Reddit support in order to prepare my ten year old account for deletion. Although all official sources say, that they don’t offer refunds for Premium, I tried to get at least a part of the 50$ (yearly membership; last renewal in Feb 2023) back. To my surprise, they’ve actually refunded me the full...

I can’t wait to watch reddit burn while sitting back here with some really awesome people in a much safer environment

I’m working on a new app called Freddit (fuck reddit) 😂

You should give Gentoo a try. I’m a 12 year arch user. Gentoo is really solid and fun though. Or hell if you wanna go that advanced try LFS :)

github.com/arindas/manjarno

www.hadet.dev/Manjaro-Bad/

Manjaro also has a “rolling release” model that isn’t actually fully rolling release. They hold back packages for a few weeks which in return has almost always destroyed the AUR for not only manjaro users but Arch users.

They lie about it being fully rolling. Not just that they have forgotten to sign their signature keys multiple times before releasing big updates.

Sure it’s an easier Arch for “beginners” but I’d say it’s easier to just install arch on a VM if you really want to learn and use arch that bad a VM is the best way.

Pure Arch is better than Manjaro. Hell I hate Ubuntu but I’d rather use that over Manjaro
