Very cool. Wireshark is one of those things that has been around for so long it's easy to take for granted, so it is nice to be reminded that it took a huge cooperative effort over more than two decades to get where it is. One of the really great examples of what open source can do.

Yeah, I like having a few isos on Ventoy for live booting from random PCs for troubleshooting. Very convenient being able to have multiple architectures, DEs, versions of distros to boot from on one drive.

It is well established, if niche, software. I think your sketchometer needs calibration.

Also came here to mention Termux. It can be useful being able to ssh into devices and control them from my phone.

Because then we are just a cheap reddit clone. I'd rather see Lemmy continue developing on its own terms.

Odd that you've had so much trouble with Linux. My experience generally had been that it requires more time on initial config, then it just keeps working unless you change something.

I figure anything important I will either hear about or see on ~reddit~ Lemmy.

I wish I could give you links! I think I heard it on a security focused podcast? It has been quite some time since I tried to stay current on this sort of thing in more than a casual way.

Sure, but Windows Defender is built in and doesn't suck. I have even heard security professionals make the argument that anti viruses may increase attack surface as much or more than they defend you (not necessarily asserting that is the case).

The post is not about prisoners.

Just uninstall all of it and let Windows take care of itself. You don't need antivirus. Do avoid obviously suspicious files, and you should be fine.

Wtf? Its a ridiculous BS situation that support is dropped so fast, but if you do anything remotely sensitive on your phone you should absolutely use a device receiving security support.

 

There is finally a decent alternative to reddit, after one has been needed for years? And it's open source federated software?? AND I can sign up on an instance that supports free sharing of media?!

I have been waiting a long time for reddit to fuck up badly enough that something else could fill the vacuum they created and do it right. Awesome.
