Tried calibre for the first time this week. Geez how simple it was to get it up and place my first eBook on my reader. It was all done in a matter of some few minutes, very intuitively. I didn’t even need to get any documentation open. Great tool!

What are the specs of your setup?

So cloudflare admits they are bulk processing the reports and the article just goes saying yeah too bad, it happens. But this is just for me a solid argument that scaling companies to that level is not beneficial, neither for themselves (as they get this kind of coverage about not doing the job properly), then for the websites being unjustly blocked and for visitors being misguided. I wish we could have a more competitive market instead of cloudflare, google and possibly some few others…

What was the subject of the email? Because if they are alerting you to some security issue regarding your account, I think it is reasonable to prevent the user from unsubscribing, otherwise how would they be alerting you and would you then blame them for not having alerted you?

Of course, if this is a marketing email, that’s something else but then is it an important message regarding your account and products you are using?

I find KDE connect to be both useful and interesting to use. It’s not really recommendable in and of itself but it makes connecting between your various devices very effective, like file transfer, clipboard sharing, remote control etc.

With regards to casual gaming, I personally don’t have anything to recommend because that’s exactly the kind of game I try to avoid. I like involved games, interesting, with a story, a purpose, requiring thinking and such. But what I can say is that the steam deck is so effective with its sleep functionality that you can very casually play any involved game no matter how much time you have.

It is so easy to be back in the game: I’ve played the witcher 3 a lot (highly recommend it if you have not played it) and it is a very involved game, but I’ve been in and out for even just a few minutes thanks to sleep. It takes one second to be back in the game fighting some enemies and takes a second to pause the game and put the console back to sleep in my backpack. You don’t have to restrict yourself to casual games to benefit from casually playing, with the steam deck.

Oh sorry it was not obvious to me that this was a crosspost so I didn’t see the lengthy explanation provided! Indeed, my comment makes little sense, apologies.

This happens to me when using VGA and the connector isn’t well seated. Are you using an analog connector like VGA? Can you double check that the connector is well seated on both ends?

Yes, became my absolute favorite game :)

Yeah, even the bundle of the base game together with both dlc is a steal.

The Witcher 3 two DLCs, now that I finished the base game.

Thank you, I will dig into this to see if there’s something I’m missing, but I did use the same resources the poster did, but the thread may provide more information.

Thanks for the reply! Can you tell me more about what you mean with “check the efi grub install”?

Edit: to be clear, I have a vanilla initramfs booting properly, which is the one automatically built. I’m just trying to replicate it myself.

This is the way.

I explored whether this was a permission issue, but the permission is the same on the default and my initramfs:

mytestalpine:~# ls -l /boot/initramfs-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10734241 Nov 27 22:56 /boot/initramfs-6.6.58-0-lts.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17941160 Nov  3 17:39 /boot/initramfs-lts

Legend, I have been looking for that for a while, and it is the cherry on top that it does not require booting into the uefi!

I’m not sure I see the issue to be honest. The development is made in the open, the architecture is pretty flexible and is designed to be rather robust to rug pulls specifically such that less trust is required in the model.

Also, whenever these discussions happen, I can’t stop feeling that it is somehow also meant to imply that mastodon is somehow better. And I am not a fan of that, as if there could only be one good social network. The internet is better with multiple services, multiple of many things. That’s how there is cooperation, compatibility and development for the better.

I hear you, but how much time was Synology given? If it was no time at all (which it seems is what happened here??), that does not even give Synology a chance and that’s what I’m concerned with. If they get a month (give or take), then sure, disclose it and too bad for them if they don’t have a fix, they should have taken it more seriously, but I’m wondering about how much time they were even given in this case.

It’s about online games and anti cheat. Many companies will not allow anti cheat to work on Linux because they “require” kernel level anti cheat, a big security and privacy concern.

You can read more about anti cheat games and their compatibility with Linux here: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Was it that the talk was a last minute change (replacing another scheduled talk) so the responsible disclosure was made in a rush without giving synology more time to provide the patch before the talk was presented?

If so, who decided it was a good idea to present something regarding a vulnerability without the fix being available yet?

I’m not sure, I read that ZFS can help in the case of ransomware, so I assumed it would extend to accidental formatting but maybe there’s a key difference.
