Heya folks, some people online told me I was doing partitions wrong, but I’ve been doing it this way for years. Since I’ve been doing it for years, I could be doing it in an outdated way, so I thought I should ask....
Why do you have a btrfs volume and an ext4 volume? I went btrfs and used sub volumes to split up my root and home but I’m not sure if that’s the best way to do it or not
Not sure if that’s wrong or not tbh, I use snapper instead of timeshift and I wanted /home included in the snapshots anyway (I think it let me set them up as 2 separate jobs). The reason I went with subvolumes instead of separate partitions is that I didn’t have to worry about sizing. I also know I can reinstall to my root subvolume without affecting the others, depending on the installer for your distro I don’t know how easy that is vs just having separate partitions. I played around with it in a VM for a while to see what the backup and restore process is like before I actually committed to anything!
Hackers have reportedly found a way to use the Google Calendar as command & control (C2) infrastructure which could create quite a few headaches in the cybersecurity community.
I can kind of see the advantage to disabling it, we started using Windows Hello recently and while it’s mostly been good we have seen an increase in the amount of people forgetting their Microsoft password since they no longer need to use it to sign in every day.

Or one that makes me download their app. Reddit have tried disabling their mobile site in the past in favour of a link to open in the app, I even tried it a few times as I already had the app installed and signed in but the link just took me to the App Store instead! Thankfully the mobile site seems barely functional at the moment.
EDIT: You know, after some time to cool off, Google Authenticator 2FA can still be enabled and isn’t being phased out like the less secure SMS 2FA, so it’s really not the end of the world here. The chance of permanent lockout is avoided, even if the whole Google Prompt system is still wack.
My current setup is a NAS running on an old Acer Aspire laptop with an Intel core i5-6500u and 8GB RAM (and an Nvidia 920m but I’m pretty sure its not using that as I’m running headless Ubuntu server and haven’t installed the Nvidia drivers) with a 3.5" HDD plugged in via USB....
I set up a rule last night to allow SSH access from any device on my subnet, is it a good idea to add a separate rule blocking SSH from my router? I’ve already set up SSH with public key authentication so in theory there aren’t many devices that can access it but the firewall restriction seemed like a good idea
I don’t think my router has been compromised and I think it’s pretty unlikely it will be, but the extra rule seems pretty trivial to set up so if there are no downsides I may as well! I have already changed the SSH port and disabled password login. I’ll look into fail2ban, might be worth it if it’s relatively simple to set up!
Unity gave them a fantastic opportunity here, they now have an excuse to raise their prices as well and still look like the good guy by doing it somewhat reasonably
My favourite example of this is how it handles audio devices. Every other app just uses the default Windows audio devices, maybe with an option to change it to something else if you want, but not Teams. It has to handle the choosing of the audio device itself. I once saw this lead to the fantastic situation where the sound in Windows was working fine via someone’s USB headset, but Teams decided it wanted to use the headphone jack built into their laptop dock as it’s audio device instead (no headphones were even plugged in). We manually changed it but it kept defaulting back to the headphone jack every time the dock was disconnected and reconnected! I can’t remember what fixed it in the end, probably just a reinstall or something but it was still a stupid and easily avoidable issue.
I’m not sure if they were ever designed to be immutable, but that’s what a lot of people use it for because it’s harder to edit them. But there are programs that can edit PDFs. The main issue is I’m not aware of any free ones, and a lot of the alternatives don’t work as well as Adobe Acrobat which I hate! It’s always annoying at work when someone gets sent a document that they’re expected to edit and they don’t have an Acrobat license!
I’m assuming that will work similar to Microsoft Word where it’s fine for basic PDFs but if there are a lot of tables or images it can mess up the document?
I still haven’t moved away from memmy, it’s a bit buggy at the moment because it hasn’t been updated for a couple of months but the swipe gestures don’t feel right on any of the alternatives I’ve tried. They’re either slightly laggy, or seem hard to trigger without also vertical scrolling
This might make me reconsider my prime subscription. I already find prime video a bit lacking but combined with free shipping I find the service as a whole worth paying for, however I’m not sure I order enough for free shipping alone to be worth it
You need some form of backup though or you can lose access to your accounts if you lose/break your phone. A lot of sites give one time use backup codes but not all, and you still need somewhere secure to store those.
Back on Christmas Eve of last year there were some reports that Elon Musk was in the process of shutting down Twitter’s Sacramento data center. In that article, a number of ex-Twitter employees wer…
The manager began to explain in detail some of the obstacles to relocating the servers to Portland. “It has different rack densities, different power densities,” she said. “So the rooms need to be upgraded.” She started to give a lot more details, but after a minute, Musk interrupted. “This is making my brain hurt,” he said. “I’m sorry, that was not my intention,” she replied in a measured monotone. “Do you know the head-explosion emoji?” he asked her. “That’s what my head feels like right now. What a pile of f—ing bulls—. Jesus H f—ing Christ. Portland obviously has tons of room. It’s trivial to move servers one place to another.”
Sounds like he did his best to make sure no one could tell him

I’m on 6.4.12 so not the very latest but close. You did make me think to check the CPU frequency scaling though and I’ve spotted a couple of things it could be. I seem to be using the acpi-cpufreq driver rather than amd_pstate, not sure if its worth switching over? It also seems to be set to keep the frequency between 2.2-3.9GHz whereas on Windows my CPU almost always boosts to around 4.2-4.3. I might change that if I notice any performance issues but tbh I might leave it for now and see how things go. It might run a bit cooler if its not always boosting and I can probably still undervolt just not by as much
We can see through it but most people either can’t or just don’t care. Its barely talked about, I only ever see articles about this posted on here/Reddit, I never see or hear any discussion about it anywhere else, and there never seem to be any articles on the front page of BBC etc
