Someone emailed my boss a while back pretending to be me. Asked that my direct deposit be changed. Boss told me he nearly sent it to the accountant but decided he should double check with me first. People are assholes.

Colonizers stick together.

I ran into this today using ssh-copy-id on a new Debian box. Seems like that tool is biased toward copying a second key instead of a first. Either that or they assume most users use one key pair everywhere (and thus only have one loaded in their agent). I use one key pair per user per box. Excessive? 🤔

Fucking hell. That’s depressing.

I’ve slept since the last time I set up sshd on a new install. Do you need to be able to authenticate with a password when you ssh-copy-id on a user without a public key?

Edit: Silly me. Yes, password is required.

Alarmist claptrap.

I think dying at work would really suck. Insult to injury.

Try harder Samsung. Google permabricked my Pixel 6. Twats.

When I installed Bazzite on my Asus laptop I got an Armory Crate application. There seems to be something similar for MSI laptops called MControlCenter, but don’t know anything about it. Hope this gets you going in the right direction.

I think it’s fine if Microsoft has their own nuclear power plant as long as every Microsoft corporate officer is required to live downwind of it. ✌🏻

Wouldn’t it be nice if documentation used the words index and offset consistently?

I sent her a few bucks when Biden dropped out and a few more when she picked Walz. If she said the words “embargo” or “war profiteering”, though, I’d send her a whole damn pile of money. Won’t hold my breath.

This commando raid bullshit has got to stop. How many have died since Breonna? How many more will die? Fucking pigs.

Good.

While I’ve had some nagging KDE session issues, thankfully using an xbox controller has thus far been a great experience for me in Bazzite. On Windows I had to replug my dongle after every. single. freaking. reboot.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

I mainly started using exFAT on flash drives (even on new ones) since it is interoperable between Windows, Linux, and Intel Mac. To be clear, I never don’t unmount the drive properly under normal conditions, but I remember reading around the time it was introduced that the Windows implementation guaranteed the buffers were flushed after every write (meaning no unwritten data remains when the activity indicator on the drive stops blinking) but now I can’t find any evidence that was ever the case. Wouldn’t be the first time I got bad info from the Internet. 🤷‍♂️

Random thoughts, no particular order

I think btrfs was the default the last time I installed Bazzite, but I don’t really know anything about it so I switched it to ext4. I understand the snapshot ability is nice with rolling release distros, though.

It’d been ages since I’d used FAT32 for anything until I made a Debian live USB when I was setting up my pi-hole on an old Core2Duo recently. It would only boot on FAT32 for reasons I probably once knew. 😆

NTFS was an improvement over the FATs what with the journaling, security, file streams, etc. I use it wherever I still use Windows (work).

Most of my general purpose USB flash drives use exFAT. I like not having to worry about eject/unmount.

Thank you. I was not aware. It does not make me feel better. Depressing stuff.
