Full disk encryption with LUKS. Don’t really see much point in a TPM for booting my personal device, although it definitely has use cases and I don’t know what’s backdoorsy about it.

No. But funny how people interpret posts in their own cultural context. When reading the post just literally, it’s clearly about polygamy.

Very typical projection (“I’m not political, you are”), but the reactions are unnecessary in my opinion (feeding the trolls as some would say). If you don’t like the attitude of the maintainer, fork it if you like, ignore it if you don’t.

Freeze them! Frozen banana is even better than fresh in milkshake.

Very nice. I’ve been daily driving KDE for 20 years and only changed the default wallpaper once or twice.

Someone once told me their grandparents in Brazil were part of a community where Latin was spoken as the primary language, but I can’t find any information about it online in English.

I also always start with “crane” 😁

Is it actually running snap or just unpacking its content and running it as a normal flatpak?

Arch does not directly link openssh to liblzma, and thus this attack vector is not possible.

Also, if I’m not mistaken the uninitialized prop is not guaranteed to be nullptr here, so this private destructor could be trying to free from some random pointer.

This was just an outline of what you could do in the scenario, not a full solution. Looking up the keywords, “Apptainer” (+sandbox), “.sif”, and “AppImage” should give you a starting point, and any specific questions can be answered separately. You are right that people could be jerks to beginners but this is rarely the intent. Not all discourse about Linux has to be at a beginner level, and packaging legacy software is not really a beginner topic.

I’ve been working with CUDA for 10 years and I don’t feel it’s that bad…

While it’s a stupid question which he wouldn’t have asked a white guy, it’s not wholly illegitimate. Shou Zi Chew has major business ties to Mainland China, which is not a secret.

Pull a docker image of an old distro into an apptainer sandbox, install what you need within, then make a .sif image, should work pretty much in perpetuity. You can also try to make an Appimage.

I’ve heard this trope before but I’m skeptic. I’m not a C expert but I can’t believe memory bugs in that language are so much more benign than in C++.

Nothing wrong with that… Most people don’t need to reinvent the wheel, and choosing a filename extension meaningful to the particular use case is better then leaving it as .zip or .db or whatever.

I’ve been using nothing but Linux at home and work for 20 years and it’s news to me that these words are not equal synonyms.
