Just want to say that a decade ago Warframe was the first game I ever played on WINE when I was first learning Linux in school. If it hadn't been so friendly and easy to keep playing I wouldn't have the skills and job I do today. Thank you!

For me at least I just use the prebuilt MicroG-flavor ROMs at https://lineage.microg.org/

This comes preloaded with the MicroG settings app, so no need to install the extra FDroid repo. But otherwise yes, Aurora Store gets you access to all necessary proprietary apps.

That was me that filed the Itanium test suite failure. :)

iwd does not wrap wpa_supplicant, it's a from-scratch implementation and a much nicer one at that.

Can you please share the tool in question? I have been desperately looking for something like this for my sandbox project.

This is the real answer, I have a paid domain and am still unable to get contact or transfer off (I have attempted this with all known registrars that support .tk, Freenom simply fails to respond to the transfer request)

Google Translate recently moved translated web pages to domains like this. If you plug a webpage into GT it will put the translated content under -.translate.goog. This user's actual domain is https://retr0.id

With nginx I also set the return code to 444 on the default virtual host, this is not a real status code but instead tells nginx to kill any connections to this vhost at the TCP level.

I use dnscrypt-proxy[0] which round-robins to a bunch of upstream servers, plus encryption.

Is there any sh4 or m68k hardware available that is capable of self-hosting?

Does Gsuite not count as competition? It even fills the MS Office role with Gdocs.

I bought one of these. Unfortunately due to supply-chain holdup the order is pending indefinitely. The primary use-case is as a core router for high-throughput networks like ISP backbones, hence the focus on built-in SFP+ which would usually need an array of PCIe cards to accomplish on a standard box. But you can also use it as a NAS which is how I intend to because of the 4x SATA. Both of these use cases require only moderate CPU power and benefit from the ECC support.

I use atool (https://www.nongnu.org/atool/) for unpacking random archives - it abstracts away all formats including zip/rar/7z, compression and also guarantees that nothing is ever extracted into $CWD.

I have this same mouse. It works perfectly fine as an HID-compliant mouse on Linux, including the forward/back buttons. You only need all that crap if you want to control the rainbow RGB lighting. And if you really that, there's a reverse-engineered driver here: http://roccat.sourceforge.net/

While this is true, the overwhelming majority of these incidents do not use or require zero-days. The attack vector is nearly always basic phishing/social engineering, or wildly misconfigured/unpatched systems exposed to the internet. Implementing a bare-bones security program, or giving an existing security program the tools & authority to enforce policies, would cut down on ransomware incidents by a factor of 5-10, easily, without touching cryptocurrency in the slightest.

It's closed-source and paid. Not allowed on F-Droid.

> How did Codecov learn of this event?

> A customer reported this to us on the morning of April 1, 2021. This customer was using the shasum that is available on our Bash Uploader to confirm the integrity of the uploader fetched from https://codecov.io/bash.

> Once the customer saw a discrepancy between the shasum on Github and the shasum calculated from the downloaded Bash Uploader, they reported the issue to us, which prompted our investigation.

Just goes to show that checking published hashes is not as useless as it may seem.
