Soviet Pigeon

Linux Kernel provides more security techniques than Windows indeed, but they need to be used. To point out CVEs is kind of stupid. The Linux kernel never commited any entries to the CVE database for years, they started since February 2024 doing so, because they gave up on their opposition. They warned, if they do this now, the databases will get flooded with CVEs. Because in the kernel context, every bug counts as a security problem, if you look at it from the right perspective. This is a difference to Windows CVEs.

Of course this is great for those CVEs database providers because they now can sell their stuff happily.

What you need are not CVE entries for the Linux Kernel, but the latest supported Linux Kernel installed.

And srsly: Antivirus is snake oil. Using software with Administrator rights in Windows or even Linux, which parses every file, is fucking dangerous. It is usable on a mailserver, where the antivirus process is containerised or virtualized.

And what is the point with firewalls I read here? The most distros have firewalls enabled. When were they not there? Iptables was always there and I had to configure it, so I could allow or disallow incoming traffic. I almost never had to install it manually.

I did it few times between 2008 and 2010 when I was way younger. Idk how I did it, but after two times I was used to it and learned also a lot. Today I don’t have the nerves to install arch without archinstall or anarchy. The wiki helped me a lot. The wiki gives an excellent guide to install arch and to set up everything you need. It is well written enough, that no deep Linux knowledge is needed

The archlinux wiki is great for everything. I used it when I had Fedora, Debian or sometimes if I used OpenBSD.

The comments are weird:

However, his videos are really stupid and often straight false. I wrote this comment from OnePlus Nord -12GB Ram - with LineageOS 21 using the NeverSettle Kernel (Not Apple!!!).

I dont have a list, but I usually use this site. It also does not only show Linux distributions, but also software products like nginx, mariadb or programming languages like go, rust and python.

Edit: Some Linux distributions habe older software, which they support with security updates and also stay on one kernel version. Fedora as example gives you a new kernel after few weeks. Maybe you can be more concrete

I really love KDE 6 and also loved KDE 5. But its not worth watching such content

Desktop environments are optional if using a Linux distribution. Also as long as a desktop environment doesnt take all resources, there shoudlnt be much difference in benchmarks.

Isnt that something PHP always was able to do? Maybe a title like “tool for uploading/downloading files in PHP” would be better and you could add in in the README.md that it doesnt use JavaScript.

I bought an E595 back then and it works great. But I dont know how the actual E series behave. There werent also no problems at all with Linux. More important is the question which wifi module you choose, and mine had one from realtek (there were no Intel Option sadly) and the wifi performance wasnt that great because of that.

Linux doesnt need GNU components at all to be a functional operating system. And you wouldnt see any difference if your http server works on GNU/Linux or Linux without GNU.

On the other hand there is difference between an AI and LLM. The difference is signifacant enough to distinguish. You may mean LLMs if you talk about AI, but tbh I though you didnt. Because many people dont.

but Im seeing syntax that Ive never seen in my life

Which languages do you know? What is your background?

What is wrong with “var test int”? There is no need for a return type, if the function returns nothing. Thats the language design and I think it is easy to remember.

func(u User) hi ()

u is something like self in Python and hi() is a method of User.

Please explain why do you think something is too messy, also with which languages you have already worked.

When I have problems like this, I start to question whether I can program at all and whether I should perhaps change my profession. This often happens when I’m tired or overworked. I make stupid mistakes and assume that the cause of the problem is something complex.

Just a guess, but I think it is also somehow connected to an handler object

To fully grasp how containers actually work, you should read the Linux kernel documentation on namespaces and permission control via capabilities.

Hmm, I thought the aspect of demystification would also include a brief explanation on, how namespaces and capabilities work.

It’s not security debt, it’s just general technical debt.

I would also say, that this is just technical debt. I also fully understand, that there are things like breaking changes. I remember clearly when we used asyncore in the past for Python at work and then it became deprecated. It was still possible to use it for a long time, but a change was needed. Such breaking changes caused work and are not nice. Especially if it is a big software.

On the other side, I am not happy if I buy software or hardware, which has probably insecure dependencies. I understand the developers, I am also one, and I know that many things are not under their control. I am also not blaming them. But it is a no-go if something new is sold with 10-year-old OpenSSH Server, 15-year-old curl or other things.

But I am not taking exotic vulnerabilities that seriously. Like, if you need specific constellations, so this is somehow hackable.
