I’m a Norwegian Linux enthusiast and have never heard anything about the government using Ubuntu or Linux. Seems unlikely, from what I know. I know that within healthcare Windows is still widely used, even on the server side…
On the other hand, a lot of software for official services is being developed as open source now, so that’s at least a good step in the right direction. Example: https://github.com/navikt
You should remove the executable permission, see my other reply. Movie files should never be executable, but directories should be.
chmod -R -x+X * should do the trick, that will remove the executable permission on all files, and set it on directories.
This is not correct. Movie files do not need to be executable, and never should be! Not that movie files being executable will cause problems, but it’s possible to imagine a scenario where an attacker could exploit it, especially if the files are owned by root. Extremely unlikely, but I work in IT and always think about security :)
You might be thinking of directories, which do need the executable permission to let a user/group/all be able to read its contents.
You can self-host Bitwarden, and sync your vault to your phone. Maybe not an option for everyone since it requires some technical skills, but very doable.
You can google “women in computing” for more details, or check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_computing - it’s amazing how much women contributed to this field and how little known that appears to be. (I only learned about it a few years ago myself.)
But the gist is:
Early on (i.e. the 1940s and 50s), men thought the prestige and honor was in building the giant machines (which back then could fill a classroom or more). Actually programming them was considered easier, “just like following a recipe”, so women got jobs as “computers” who did this part. To quote that wikipedia article: Designing the hardware was “men’s work” and programming the software was “women’s work.”
Fast forward to the 1970s and people had started realizing that programming was actually hard, and so it was promoted as a field boys should get educated in, while girls were encouraged to instead become nurses and teachers and such.
If you want to make your playbooks/roles more universal, there’s a generic package module which will figure out what package manager to use based on the detected OS.
Or, if that doesn’t fit your needs, you can add conditions to tasks (or blocks of tasks), like
when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"
and use that for tasks specific to a given Linux distro/family.
Ansible will detect a lot of info about each host and make it available as facts. See for example https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playbooks_vars_facts.html
I believe it was more like: a guy was accused of cheating (against Magnus Carlsen), and anarchychess on reddit came up with the buttplug theory. Now everyone thinks it actually happened.
There are many ways in. Sometimes no one has to click on or do anything, instead the attacker finds a security vulnerability in e.g. a web application, which gives them access to the server the app is running on. From there the attacker can look for other vulnerabilities to penetrate further into the network. Or if the system/network admin hasn’t properly configured/secured the network, then the attacker can easily move into other parts of the network.
No, you give the AIO container access to your docker daemon and it will create / handle / supervise all the other containers nextcloud needs.
I tried Volumio recently, and was prepared to maybe get the paid version if it was as great as it seemed. But the user interface was so god-awful! Absolutely unusable for me. Would never pay for it.
Instead I googled a bit and found Moode - a million times better, and free. Don’t remember if it does multiroom audio, but personally I don’t need that currently.
I also had one who went crazy if he smelled olives in the house 😂
They work great together. I have jellyfin as my media server / manager /backend, and kodi on my nvidia shield connected to my TV as my main media player / frontend. In kodi, the jellyfin plugin syncs all metadata from jellyfin to kodi’s library, and streams the media from my jellyfin.
Tell your friend to google stashapp.
I knew a guy who was a very outspoken but peaceful vegan, didn’t want to harm anything. Animal rights activist. Super nice guy, when sober.
But he also had a drinking problem, and totally flipped when he drank, you could almost see the switch happen in a few seconds when he was at 4-5 beers. His drunk personality was angry, paranoid, quarreling and violent, and he would often get blackout drunk and get into fights and whatnot. Got himself banned from several bars.
I didn’t know him well, but he probably had some trauma/bad shit in his life. He never talked about his family, except his grandmother who apparently had raised him, more or less.
Boxes of snus. Snus is a kind of smokeless tobacco, used by putting under your lip.
Had a similar thing at work not long ago.
A newly deployed version of a component in our system was only partially working, and the failures seemed to be random. It’s a distributed system, so the error could be in many places. After reading the logs for a while I realized that only some messages were coming through (via a message queue) to this component, which made no sense. The old version (on a different server) had been stopped, I had verified it myself days earlier.
Turns out that the server with the old version had been rebooted in the meantime, therefore the old component had started running again, and was listening to the same message queue! So it was fairly random which one actually received each message in the queue 😂
Problem solved by stopping the old container again and removing it completely so it wouldn’t start again at the next boot.
