I do this and then regret it when I’m on my laptop using slow WiFi and have to dowload 1g of stuff to run freecad or Krita or something

Nix / NixOS@programming.dev•permitted insecure package isn't actually permittedEnglish
3·4 months agoWe probably need more info. Exact commands and ideally the content of what you’re evaluating (a flake I’m assuming based on what you said about inputs).
It’s hard to tell if what you’ve done will actually apply to the evaluation of nixpkgs in your flake, and nixpkgs may be evaluated multiple times.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Sovereign Tech Fund invests over €1 million in KDE software development
107·4 months agoBecause it wasn’t obvious to me from the article, and I was trying to figure out whose sovereign tech fund it is:
The Sovereign Tech Agency is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation and is a subsidiary of SPRIND, the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Dirty Frag: Universal Linux LPE - allows any unprivileged local user to gain root access on a vulnerable Linux system - no patch available
51·4 months agoFor me the scariest thing someone could do on my pc is exfiltrate all the data from my home directory which is readable by my user account.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but that’s harm to me without root access.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?
6·5 months agoStill team Emacs. We’re a team because we use elisp, not because of something trivial like how our text editors work.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How Hard Is It, To Open a File? - From Sebastian Wick and related to recent flatpak CVEs
10·5 months agoThis is a good article because it immediately made me feel stupid for not knowing about
O_PATH.
I really need to figure out a better sandboxing method for shells. It’s crazy to be things where my keys, browser data, shell history are all accessible.
I do try to use firejail where possible, but it’s quite cumbersome. Every so often I look for tools to help with this, but everything is oriented around making a specific program (e.g. Firefox, steam) work.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Systemd preparing to comply with age verification laws
101·6 months agoYes, and you can do the same thing to your child’s non-root account. The point of the California law is to allow admins (parents) to do that.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux in California is in deep trouble - The Bryant Review
124·6 months agoEvery app does not need to check your birth date. An app will be able to query if the user is within one of a few broad ranges of age (e.g. under 18), but an app only has to do that if it needs to comply with some other legislation.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux in California is in deep trouble - The Bryant Review
111·6 months agoThe California law essentially allows a parent to create a child account on a device and gives a way for apps to query it.
I’m not sure what PH is asking for, but it doesn’t sound like the same thing.

Nix / NixOS@programming.dev•Patching package using override and overrideAttrsEnglish
2·8 months agoAre you sure that’s related to the packages? It says it’s evaluating font config.

Nix / NixOS@programming.dev•Patching package using override and overrideAttrsEnglish
3·8 months agoMaybe you need to use
overrideAttrsfor both packages? it doesn’t seem to take patches as an argument

Nix / NixOS@programming.dev•Patching package using override and overrideAttrsEnglish
4·8 months agoTo start with you need parens around the things in your list. Right now your list is like:
[ kdePackages.qt6ct.overrideAttrs (...) libsForQt5.qt5ct.override {...} ];So you want something like:
[ (kdePackages.qt6ct.overrideAttrs (...)) (libsForQt5.qt5ct.override {...}) ];

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is anyone planning on forking Plasma to restore X11 support when it is dropped?
5·8 months agoIt obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.
I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.
Strange, I’ve never seen that. Have you rebooted the system to make sure it has nothing to do with open files?
I did find one thread that seems related:
https://www.reddit.com/r/btrfs/comments/lip3dk/unreachable_data_on_btrfs_according_to_btdu/
btduis an excellent tool for finding out what’s taking up space in btrfs

Linux@lemmy.ml•Baffled at PC freezing on Linux, but not on Windows for the same workload
1·1 year agoSorry for the duplicate replies. Lemmy server drama…
That’s a tricky one if you’re getting no info from the kernel. I think the reply above about system instability under load sounds promising. Throttling things down to test seems like a good idea.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Baffled at PC freezing on Linux, but not on Windows for the same workload
2·1 year agoWere you running dmesg on another screen or over ssh or something? I’d look in
journalctl -b-1after a reboot.Is it completely frozen or does it respond to pings etc?

I think there’s a bit of confusion due to Microsoft’s insane naming conventions. These consoles exist:
OP is talking about (2).
Technically there has been an exploit found:

But it might be only for (1) and it’s not clear if there’s a practical way to use it yet.
