don’t know why you’d want to? you may trust your dns server but without dns over https the dns requests themselves are sent plaintext and are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack. with dns over https the dns requests are encrypted and that encryption would have to be broken for a MITM attacker to see your requests. more security is better and dns over https costs virtually nothing to use in terms of cpu resources.

edit: oh do you mean whole system mullvad VPN? if so, then yeah dns over https doesn’t really help much but it’s also still a case of why bother turning it off when there’s no benefit to it.

linux typically won’t hard freeze on errors like that no matter the distro. it can, but rarely. being an all amd build i suspect there’s some cpu bios feature auto scaling core clock or voltage and in my experience ryzen cpus need to have a manually set stable clock and voltage to perform properly no matter the os. try checking your bios and disabling any powersaving or auto-scaling features for your cpu and manually set it for stock clock and voltage. you may need to look up what these values are as the bios might not have a default value for you. this might not be your issue but it’s worth trying. good luck!

the ableist part is saying you must be crazy if you do a violent thing, when reality shows the mentally ill are far far more likely to be a victim than the perp in a violent crime.

edit: also, ya know, this whole thread of ‘probably autistic’ speculation.

lmao same

jesse what the fuck are you talking about?

no, it did not. the initial lockdown at the beginning lowered violent crime a great deal, and the rate rose back up after lockdowns were lifted, but still not to the rate from before the pandemic. this isn’t out of date; you’re remembering media reports and propagandists online intentionally misrepresenting this data by only looking at during lockdown and just after, pretending lockdowns and mask mandates and other covid response measures as causing crime.

seems similar to the set up for systemd snippets, where you can avoid changing default config files for systemd units and instead use a drop in file in that created .d dir to load and overwrite the defaults on boot for whatever specific thing. don’t know anything that uses this for bashrc, tho. most likely harmless, especially if there’s no created bashrc.d yet.

this may help, if you’re using apparmour.

on a bowden system yes, but just ever so slightly. not any more than you could fix with retraction and other settings, and prolly only nylon and other flexible ones you should be doing in a direct dirve anyway would be affected.

and even if it were worn down that much it wouldn’t cause any problem as the entire tube is made of the same slippery stuff, it’s not a coating.

cinnamon, lxde, kde, and mate are all desktop environments that mimic the basics of windows ui like the taskbar, start menu, and windows with minimize, maximize, and exit buttons at the top. and all can be installed/selected during install on pretty much every popular distro. there’s prolly some others i’ve forgotten but those are all solid choices.

edit: whoops had mint listed but that’s not a de that’s a distro

sounds like maaaaybe too little ram and no swap? what is your ram size and do you have any swap or zram enabled? i kinda doubt it because multiple distros should have a swap space or zram on by default on a fresh install but maybe not or you explicitly chose not to and it’s running out of memory.

fighting for bitcoin to get an emoji is stupid, but fighting against it might be even stupider. surely there are more important things to spend your time and energy on. it’s a fucking emoji. who cares?

google communism

yup, and both bluesky and threads will be/are exactly as bad, too.

prolly genocide denial.

sometimes a hangup in a widget or other taskbar or desktop customization can freeze up the menu. right click on the taskbar, enter edit mode, and resize the taskbar height one up and back down to where it was. if that doesn’t fix it maybe remove any widgets or other customizations.

lead’s bad for you, sure, but when some of the other metals on this scale’s red might literally explode your tongue/face/head depending on sample size and saliva accumulation, i’d say yellow fits it pretty well.

Permethrin is toxic to cats; however, it has little effect on dogs. Many cats die after being given flea treatments intended for dogs, or by contact with dogs having recently been treated with permethrin. In cats it may induce hyperexcitability, tremors, seizures, and death.

fyi
