Could this be made easier by setting globstar or dotglob options, to include hidden files but not try to grab . and … Directory files

The firewall on your server may need masquerading set and IP forwarding set.

The problem is she isn’t trying to be funny.

Now you are changing words or read it too quick. I never said I. We as in anybody. Again another strawman second sentence. How do you think the researcher found the vulner for xz. He noticean tiny slow down and started scrutinizing code. Closed source is a false sense of security by obscurity. Open source means anyone can scrutinize the code.

Also we deal with enough proprietary software at work to get inside TSBs. Much of proprietary code also is built on open source pieces, so if your troll argument is opensource is bad, then proprietary is also bad on top of that.

Up till recently it was opensource right. But I’m sure those days are numbered, they are going to block side loading and then everything will probably go binary blobs

That’s a strawman if I ever saw one

First one I agreed he bowed to pressure. 2nd one, not sure which one you mean. Every software has vulnerabilities yet to be discovered, researchers work hard to breakstuff. Windows had tons that researchers disclosed to them and they refused to fix, until researchers started issuing the vulners daily (and said they had 100s more they could release all year). Open Source means we can check and fix once discovered, good luck getting a for profit corporation to act. Re: the recent national defense issue with MS not disclosing vulnerabilities because they didtn want to kill their sales.

I mean Linus did kick out some russians based on US sanctions, but technically nobody owns Linux. You can use a distro from the EU, and if USA did pressure Linus, people could fork the kernel in another country. As well as it being open source where US pull requests could be analyzed for backdoors

Every gamer does a sideways glance ;).

GrapheneOS for Pixels, you can be completely degoogled.

Humans could do it too, but there is always this selfish asshole ruining it. We have that exiting Richmond Vancouver area. Everyone is doing 100km/h and there is no congestion ahead, but there is a merge in lane from an alternate route behind, so the asshole sees that as a way to get ahead before the merge in tapers off. So they pull out speed to end of lane, dart in dangerously and have to heavy brake to slow to traffic speed. The reduced space makes the car behind heavy brake and that processes backwards until traffic starts to halt. If asshole had stayed in the flow, there would be no stop on the had highway

Yeah we had the bundle from a big ISP, home phone, TV, and unlimited internet and 10 email addresses. As kids moved out etc. We dumped home phone, and TV, just internet now as a bridge. I’d move to another provider but I still have 5 people using the email addresses; and for mine I’m slowly moving all my signups and bills over to another email so we can eventually make an easy switch.

I’m sure you could. I personally haven’t tried that, but games work well for me, as do the random windows engineering tools I gathered in the 2000s

Our ISP ships new routers that are admined from the cloud via a phone app. Its a disaster waiting to happen, so I told them I’m keeping my old outdated modem as a bridge and bought my own router.

Never turn on uPnP for external use, its a way to let hackers manipulate your network. It should never have existed as an option.

A job is about you and your employer (you do tasks they pay you compensation for the tasks), it is not you and your coworkers.

Do your work, go home and enjoy life outside of work. You have to stop worrying about other people, and the need for absolute fairness, life isn’t fair.

We have equality as a human rights concept, but equality does not mean the same. Men might have to lift heavy patients, women may be asked to console a sad person, senior workers may have become fixtures where they have freedoms juniors do not. Smokers might get smoke breaks.

Focus on you, and let everything else roll off you like water off a ducks back.

Maybe a buffer issue, does scp work?

Could be this https://omnitech.net/reference/2023/03/15/0x8007003b-timeout-copying-large-file-to-samba-server/

Or could be if you copy it via Nautilus GUI, people have suggests doing a straight cp from CLI has better results than Nautilus.

Microsoft being closed source hides their bugs and vulnerabilities. Even when security researchers have sent in reports MS has sat on them due to profit being motive not security, and not taking vulners seriously until the researchers say screw that and publish it.

Linux being open can have all eyes on it, and if there is an exploit, there is a community willing to help ASAP.

On many distros you may have weekly or even daily updates or patches coming through with fixes. A distro like OpenSUSE has various patch and list patch commands that show what security patches are avilailable, their status (critical, recommended) and if it’s needed on your system or not depending on what you have installed. You don’t get transparency on closed source systems.

If you are paranoid about security you can use AppArmor tools or SELinux. AppArmor can be set to learn how an app behaves, then you lock it so the app can’t do new things.

SELinux you set rules for files and folders, so even with remote access an attacker can’t access data if rules don’t allow file listing over SSH etc

I find it good for music and film suggestions. You feed it a set of ( I want a suggestion like these ) and it provides a good result.

Also good at building mermaid code for diagrams, just tell it write me mermaid code for this, and drop in a descriptive paragraph, then copy paste the code into mermaid.live

That use case became very useful so there is a paid mermaid page to automate that manual process.

You can solve that problem by making an additional efi/boot partition when you install Linux over the Windows install.

You have Linux setup with its own boot partition and the install should probe for a foreign OS, it then adds a chainloader entry in grub to point to the Windows EFI partition.

You set BIOS to boot from Linux EFI partition. When it comes up at boot you can chose Windows and Grub hands over control to the windows bootloader, but Windows is ignorant of Linux EFI existing. It now only messes with its own EFI and never touches the Linux stuff.
