Being a monarch or some kind of royalty seems to be excellent financially and often overlooked.

I think something like that would be an edge case. We aren't talking about Karen-land, people are worried about drugs, violence, and abuse.

Yes, exactly.

Are you using passphrases? Is it worth it? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

using sufficiently long passwords is your best defense

No, using 2FA is your best defense, along with wise recovery questions. It matters nothing if you know someone's password, but can't get the 2FA code.

Brute force is only a thing when either they have the password hash, or the login portal is susceptible to brute force (ie shite). Both cases are rare.

It doesn't matter in the slightest if you use 2FA.

Define 'strength'... against a dictionary attack? Brute force? Social engineering? 'forgotten password/recovery questions' hack? Stolen session cookie? Keyloggers?

If you're not aware of the above, take some time to learn about each of those things and how good security practices counter each one.

The question is kind of like, 'can you bake a cake?' .. probably yes, but it's really missing a lot of essential information, like what kind of oven, what ingredients do you have, what's your skill level, do you have arms, etc.

Any 'passphrase' can be secure or insecure, depending on the other surrounding factors. 2FA solves many security weaknesses.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

I definitely would have made this mistake.

If there was a strong possibility they would end up homeless, or in a much worse living situation than they are currently in, that would be a strong incentive to change their behaviour.

Respectfully, I disagree. Many people in this state really DGAF and especially DGAF about (/have no understanding of) consequences, or they wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. Consequences work for people who have something to lose. For these people, many don't (feel they) have anything to lose. Change will not come from within in these cases.

Systemd Homed users and what does 'login' mean? (lemmy.nz)
 

From homectl:

Home directories managed by systemd-homed.service are usually in one of two states, ... when "active" they are unlocked and mounted, and thus accessible to the system and its programs; ... Activation happens automatically at login of the user

What does 'login' mean? For example, I created a user and tried to su -l test, but I got: cannot change directory to /home/test.

What is required to 'activate' a homed directory if not a login shell?

What is up with all the 'threats' all of a sudden? Bomb threats, shooter threats, it went from never to this year it's every couple months. Am I remembering incorrectly?

Do you have a fire extinguisher on hand? (lemmy.nz)
 

This is going to be more of a life pro tip, but trying to reach the largest audience here.

Just had a frantic neighbour knocking at my door saying there is a fire in her oven.

I was over there in under 60 seconds with the fire extinguisher. There was a pot of oil on fire wedged between the element and the rack. No way to quickly and safely remove it, so I blasted it.

If I had tried to remove the pan, it's likely it would have ended up spilling burning oil everywhere and making the situation much worse. Now they just have a house full of dust to clean.

Will replace our extinguisher today and am considering buying a few more to gift this Christmas.

How to exclude SSH port from VPN so you can remote access while VPN is up (lemmy.nz)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I solved this problem for myself yesterday and couldn't find the answer anywhere online (clearly stated), so here's what I did.

This also works for Plex, games, etc it's policy based routing so you can have your VPN and remote access at the same time.

This configuration is for your ssh server (ie your home PC) that has a VPN running like ProtonVPN etc and allows you to connect back to your home PC remotely either for SSH, plex, anything you're serving.

This is changing the default gateway for particular ports, so that return traffic from connection attempts doesn't go back out through the VPN.

I used this page to figure out how to do this:

http://linux-ip.net/html/tools-ip-rule.html

Add a default route to some table, arbitrarily table 10 but you can use whatever number (RTFM), also obviously needs to be your router IP

sudo ip route add default via 192.168.19.1 table 10

Add a rule for the return traffic from your ssh host

sudo ip rule add sport 22 table 10

sudo ip route flush cache

check out your fancy new rule

ip rule show

And to make this persistent across reboots, add to:

/etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network

(or whatever your file there is, add the following to the bottom. This is the same as above, just permanent)

[Route]
Gateway=192.168.19.1
Table=10

[RoutingPolicyRule]
SourcePort=22
Table=10

SOLVED Beta closed source drivers: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module (lemmy.nz)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction to solve this issue please?

I installed the nvidia-beta drivers (Arch) and tested out Starfield. All is good. Then next time I try to startx, I get X failed to start etc.

Following the logs I get to:

` [ 1711.739] (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 545.23.06 Sun Oct 15 17:26:55 UTC 2023

...

[ 1711.740] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the

[ 1711.740] (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages and

[ 1711.740] (EE) NVIDIA: consult the NVIDIA README for details.

`

Wierd. Install nvidia instead, y to remove conflicts/nvidia-utils etc, and it's all working. Try to install beta drivers again, same issue, rebooted, etc.

The beta drivers definitely did work. But now they magically aren't.

Any tips?

I did try running sudo mkinitcpio -P but no change.

Before meds, did you get really freakin tired from driving? (lemmy.nz)
 

A two+ hour drive would really take it out of me. I would often have to stop and have a 10 minute nap.

I've found meds have really helped, I still feel tired, but I don't have to sleep afterwards or take naps.

Same with riding motorbike, but double. I think it's the intense concentration for long periods of time.

STARFIELD NOW WORKING WITH NVIDIA BETA DRIVERS!! (lemmy.nz)
 

Just tested on Arch, installed nvidia-beta

Was using GE-Proton8-17

Got to the first open area. No missing textures, graphical glitches, nada. Seems to be running well, but didn't have FPS counter visible to see.

Discovered recently that Electric Wizard were kinda dicks back in the day. "At the time, we were pretty bad people. I got arrested for arson of a car, outside a police station. Tim [Bagshaw] went to nick a crucifix off a church roof so we could use it onstage..."

R. L. Burnside killed a man "possibly at a craps game."

Varg of ~~Mayhem~~ Burzum burned a couple churches and killed a bandmate.

I could list other examples, but would like to hear from other people and other music genres.
