This might help.

You could write a simple bash script to get memory and compare it to your desired memory usage then clear memory when desired usage has been exceeded. Then set your script as a cronjob.

Or you can just setup a cronjob to clear memory at a set interval in a cronjob described in the link.

There is also privacy.sexy. they have a bunch of scripts to do just about everything you want to increase windows privacy. They have a GUI that will help you customize the scripts and you can roll back if you want.

You can get POE(power over ethernet) cameras that dont require a separate power source. Closed circuit cameras are the only way to go.

Nationalize his business and sanction all his assets for aiding and abetting the enemy and working as a foreign agent against the US and our allies. Lock him up or deport his ass to Russia.

Any closed circuit security systems, ones that aren’t cloud based will come with an NVR (like a DVR) that hosts your recordings locally. Most are wired but some support wireless as well. Generally more expensive but in my opinion worth it.

My mom bought a simple setup for I think 3 or 400 dollars at Costco.

INAL but law enforcement can still request or subpoena your video if they suspect a crime has been witnessed by your cameras AFAIK. But at least you’ll know about it.

I’ve always thought that duplicate’s should be somehow grouped together in some way and not outright closed unless it truly is a true duplicate without that nuances. If questions that are similar can generate differing quality answers it would be beneficial. Then linked together as a group.

Cowsay, figlet, telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl, misfortune, cava, xscreensaver are a few that come to mind.

Testdisk, clamxTK, rkhunter or chkrootkit, mobile verification toolkit, lshw, time shift maybe deja-dup.

I think your idea is a good one. Like a linux Swiss Army knife. You can have lots of tools that you don’t need all the time but might be handy in a pinch. Especially if you don’t have internet.

Some people need external validation. Personally I don’t care about votes. However I do give upvotes very often hoping to increase participation. I often upvote comments I disagree with when their in the negative as long as they aren’t being a dick. I think differences of opinion are healthy. It takes no time to read an opinion I don’t agree with and maybe upvote it when they are riding the down vote bandwagon. I like diversity and think our differences could be more valued. I don’t like the whole reddit style popularity contest down vote thing some think social media has to be.

I upvote posts that I have no interest in as well. I want people to feel welcome and create content. I’m far more of a lurker than a creator so it’s in my interest to have others creating content feeling happy about doing so even if I’m not their target audience.

I really don’t hit the down vote button much, if I really don’t like what they have to say I just scroll on. I want Lemmy to be a more welcoming place then reddit. So I try to make it so.

I have no issue blocking obvious troll accounts though.

Wondering how/if this exploit would effect an OS with luks encryption? How could the arbitrary code compromise the encrypted volume? Could it be kept in memory and ran after volume decryption?

I don’t have any real understanding of how code executed before bootloader works or if it’s presistant after boot.

What about Hornblower’s, Bolger’s, Took’s, Sackville’s or Grubb’s?

We have lost control of our governance completely long ago. We let corporations become people while we became a product.

I totally get it but KVM/qumu is really awesome. Well worth the setup time IMHO.

Back in the day I used to watch NixieDoesLinux.

It’s strange to me how everyone’s experiences with manjaro is different. I’ve been running it on two laptops for 2 1/2 years without issue. On one of the laptops I’m purposefully trying to break it by not giving it updates in a timely manor. I’ve gone 2 months without updating and still can’t break it.

Honestly I wish it would finally break. Just using it for a media server/player now. I need to take it off the rolling release distros and put it on something requiring allot less manditory maintenance. It just won’t die though and I’m too lazy to fix something that isn’t broken.

No shade or manjaro fanboy bs intended as I believe everyone has different experiences with different OS’s and different needs that can be met or failed by any OS. I’m also weaning myself toward a full arch install by using distros closer to a full arch experiance on my new laptop.

My failure OS was Endeavour. Following Arch wiiki and assuming I had mkinitcpio bricking initramfs rebuild. At least I think that was the issue if I’m remembering right, been about a year. Obviously operator error in my case and no shade to EOS.

Tried out Garuda on the new laptop and have been pretty happy. As with anything there are issues to overcome. Like OBS not working because of some dependencies required by Garuda native apps for nvidia. I think this will push me to finally do a full arch install soon and roll back my other 2 laptops running manjaro to Debian.

The progression of my Linux experience over the last 15 years has been happiness to dissatisfaction with every distro I’ve tried. Not because the distros were bad but they mostly had some limitations I wanted to overcome.

My thought would be yes. Personality I don’t trust games requiring internet that have no online functionality or when using non multiplayer modes.

Installing mods from nexus in the past I have ran into several PUA and one virus modding original skyrim years ago. These were rare though and I haven’t run into one in a while. I’m an avid modder running 400+ mods in skyrimAE and fo4. Most mod makers just want to make the game better but there is potential for those who have other thing on their minds.

I have also seen on r/piracy that rock star was supposedly selling cracked copies on steam. While I don’t believe all cracked copies contain malicious scripts, viruses, rootkits etc the potential is there and sometimes what you might think are trusted sources might not be so trustworthy.

On Linux I run steam in a sandbox often disallowing internet. Whatever data collection is limited to playtime and in game choices.

It all boil’s down to trust and there bring money and motive in the breach thereof. Multimillion dollar companies have shown their greed and I have removed my trust.

You might want to check out this github link privacy.sexy. It has a bunch if scripts to do all sorts of things. It also has a GUI to customize your script the way you want. Disable telemetry, uninstall default programs like edge and skype. You can setup a task to run on interval’s of your choosing.

I run Linux on all my computers but one tablet/computer and have used privacy.sexy since I bought it. It seems to work well and you can roll back your changes you make if you like or if their script brakes something you need.
