From what I’ve read is not authentication bypass, it’s a RCE using certificates to deliver the payload. If a specific signature is found it runs the code that was sent in place of the signing public key. It also means that only someone who has the ability to generate that specific key signature could use the RCE.
There were some other bits that looked like they could have been placed to enable compromising other build systems in the future when they checked for xz support.
There are a lot of edge case characters around visually indistinguishable names. If that is a concern usernames should use a restricted known character sets instead of trying to block specific characters. You likely should also treat lookalike characters as equivalents when checking for username overlap.
As someone who also has produced code that looks like random characters spewed onto a terminal while using fpdf, I feel this one.
There is also SMS passive reading using LEO intercept. Hacked police email accounts are used to gain access to carrier systems where they use “imminent threat” no warrant lookups to pull the SMS in real time.
SMS is a terrible form of 2FA, better than none but not by much.
Your experience may depend on which distro you use and how you install things. If you use a distro with a stable upgrade path such as Debian and stick to system packages there should be almost no issues with upgrades. If you use external installers or install from source you may experience issues depending on how the installer works.
For anything complex these days I’d recommend going with containers that way the application and the OS can be upgraded independently. It also makes producing a working copy of your production system for testing a trivial task.
I think I remember running into that as well but for whatever reason I couldn’t get accelerated-x working with the opengl libraries I was using for school. Likely the issue was just a lack of understanding on my part as I don’t think I had a good grasp of the Linux library loader until well after I graduated.
I’ve had a system in the late 90s with a 3dfx voodoo card. Also had a laptop with a SIS card from the early 2000 era.
The voodoo card was THE card to have it it’s day (mine was an older second hand system though). The SIS card… for some reason they decided that standard VESA mode probing wasn’t a thing they supported and would hardware crash when that API was used. I eventually got it working in Linux after patching xfree86 to not attempt probing when loading the VESA driver.
The expression syntax for the GNU find command is very powerful. I would expect that it is up to the task. If you don’t have the GNU find command with it’s extensions I could see how it’s would be difficult.
QEMU supports either spice, vnc or sdl graphics output. If you want to copy/paste you need to use spice and install the spice agent on the VM.
My steam deck also unlinks family libraries with almost every os update. It might be an issue of overzealous hardware validation but it could also just be a bug.
It’s very likely that your disk is failing.
dd if=/path/to/file.mkv of=/new/file/path.mkv conv=noerror,sync bs=4k
Should give you a file with just the damaged bits missing.
PTSD from the days long ago when X11 error log would fill up the disk when certain applications were used.
The underutilized post pre increment operator.
Are they on a local disk? Thunar doesn’t render any thumbnails for remote storage by default.
When rsync copying the active root I like to bind mount / to /mnt/root_fs first. This avoids the issue with needing to exclude folders with sub-mounts and will expose files to copy that might be hidden by the mounts.
Right image, but under those each one below would also be wearing large pants covering each side of the subtree.
