I think that was meant to be a reply to me, so I’ll respond.
Technically, /etc/passwd can have encrypted passwords in it, but as far as I’m aware, no distro has done that in decades, so realistically its not that risky. It does expose the user names though.
Can you share the lines from /etc/passwd for your user and the user your adding? Despite its name, there are no passwords here, that is in /etc/shadow
Edit: can you su to login as the user?
I think it perfectly highlights what can happen when the risk/severity is blown out of proportion. People will latch on to that and waste precious time and energy defending that.
If the original guy had just published “CUPS has a RCE, firewall it if you haven’t already”, the issue would have been patched in the next release, and the world would have kept turning.
It was a really cool bug, and a great find, it didn’t need the hype
Didn’t know that, but makes sense.
if you are from Russia, it is impossible to convince the US that you are not a part of a state-sponsored entity
This quote from your article does nail the problem on the head though.
Excellent, thanks for the update!
Russians can still contribute, they just can’t be direct maintainers.
Nothing will likely change in the short term.
We get drug spam and stock spam, no reason to expect that political spam is any less likely.
Lemmy has a huge amount of hardcore lefty’s. If you can get them to not vote, and especially if you can get them to tell their friends not to vote, that is a big win.
Astroturfing/sockpuppeting is dirty cheap to do, so no reason not to try.
You do see some users here that will post continously on about a certain topic repeatedly, with no other opinions. They might be legit, but I have my suspicions.
If only USA had ranked choice voting, then everyone could do that.
Remember that in online spaces (and IRL in reality), there are astro-turf/sock puppet accounts that will make claims to sway public opinions.
Can you make your docker service start after the NFS Mount to rule that out?
A restart policy only takes effect after a container starts successfully. In this case, starting successfully means that the container is up for at least 10 seconds and Docker has started monitoring it. This prevents a container which doesn’t start at all from going into a restart loop.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/containers/start-containers-automatically/#restart-policy-details
If your containers are crashing before the 10 timeout, then they won’t restart.
Yeah, rough situation. Ideally, Ukraine needs a way to signal to them, “If you surrender, we’ll say you were captured/killed so your family is safe”.
The smart ones for sure, but a lifetime of propaganda is a hell of a drug :/
Bunch of malnourished troops as well. They aren’t just genetically short.
Any survivors will bring back experience, so there is that. And they will learn modern warfare stuff, like drone/antidrone tactics.
His wife was a little less impressed /s
Hans Reiser was convicted of murdering his wife. He is (was?) in jail.
Minecraft can be pretty RAM/CPU hungry, especially if you want it to be playable. I can’t speak to fortnite, but usually a games “minimum” requirements are not going to result in a enjoyable experience.
It might be better to save money for a better laptop than to buy a min spec laptop that cant really play the games
Minecraft can be quite demanding, the minimum specs are a bit misleading.
If portability is not a real requirement, a desktop may be cheaper, but once you add monitor/keyboard etc that can defeat the savings somewhat. But you can also keep/upgrade the parts independently, which will be cheaper in the longer term.
At your budget, you want to be looking at second hand. New gaming laptops at staples are starting around $800. There are probably second hand bargains to be had, just look for anything with an Nvidia or AMD graphics card, and as much RAM as possible (minimum 8gb, ideally 16gb or more). Upgradable RAM might be good, but its very rare on laptops now.
I cant help on the second hand market, but perhaps its worth tasking your son with doing the research?
Plug in both ends, and send data through it, if the data stops, you’ve lost your ladder
Linux distros are getting mature
I think this is exactly it. Back in the early days of Fedora and Ubuntu a new release often meant major bug fixes, new software, and possibly a significant qol/usability changes and performance changes. Now, its all new versions of stable software, which all behave roughly the same. Which is exactly what you want in a daily driver OS. Stability.
/etc/passwd: you may be able to get to this from the GUI file manager.If not, open a terminal and type:
cat /etc/passwd. Copy the relevant lines.To test the login, from a terminal, type
su otheruser, replace otheruser with the username from/etc/passwd. It should ask for a password, put that in and it should log you in. Typewhoamiand make sure its the same username as you expected. Paste any errors here.
