The website looks AI generated to me as well. The style and especially the purple really give it that token AI look.

(Just pointing it out, not in a negative way, not implying anything)

ew why are you so toxic and arrogant?

I wanted to upvote you, cause I am not psrt of the anti-ai mob, but then I read you last sentence and the rest of this thread and holy fuck are you unlikable and unbearable.

The list of functional differences is too long to write here. I'm sure you can ask some llm to do the google search for you and it will shit out an ungodly amount of differences.

But I'd say roughly they are about:

• how you configure it (sudo has a much more complex and expressive syntax, doas needs many more lines for the same result)
• how it preserves env variables (sudo has more options for that, it excludes some by default while keeping others and can spawn subshells differently with -l -i)
• how it does persisting authorization over some period of time :

doas on OpenBSD caches via a kernel API.

The slicer69 portable doas port has no persist on Linux/FreeBSD - you re-enter your password every invocation.

OpenDoas implements persist via timestamp files, similar to sudo but with fewer tuning options.

"better" always depends on the usecase

I use sudo cause it's less hassle and I just want to use my pc without the OS being in the way.

If you want security: ofc. doas.

But if your goal is tinkering, then you can switch anytime anyway, so try all the options.

OP asked:

How can you grant access to an account to write remotely, but also protect the data from this account?

So I was thinking that the account should not be able to delete the filesystem in an unrecoverable way. Like overriding the current fs with random data or an encrypted fs and filling it etc.

Like I said on a Hetzner storage box, multiple users get access to the same system, but each one only has file editing commands, not fs editing and they can only access their assigned directory. So if the system does scheduled snapshots (outside of that user's scope of access) there is no way for a user to delete the files beyond recoverability. (no matter if their own files or other users files).

The user can still delete their own data. But because the fs is cow with snapshots (like btrfs) and they can not touch that, the data can be recovered easily.

Are they? I thought they only write/modify/delete data to the fs, not change the fs itself.

I think you could do it somewhat like hetzner does for their storage boxes. You get an account that has read and write access to a directory and nothing outside. The accound can only run a limited set of commands, like ls, cat, nano, rsync etc. but has no access to commands that modify the filesystem.

Then you can use a copy on write fs like btrfs and make scheduled staggered snapshots.

I usually do 1x per year, 1x per month of current year, 4 per week of current montg, 7 per day in current week.

I have no clue what they use to limit the user accounts like that btw. but maybe that gives you a new jump off point for further research.

a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed

Switch to self-hosting headscale when they enshittify in an attempt to become profitable, duh

Godot [...] is open-source. By proxy, Slay the Spire 2 is also open-source.

Written by somebody who naively thinks open-source means: the source code can be viewed.

Typical game journalism incompetence.

Unintuitive.

I heard of photoshop when I was 13 and I installed a pirated version, just started clicking around and I always found what I wanted in a minute.

10 Years later, I switch 100% to Linux, I have to do some light design work, I open gimp - I CLICK AROUND FOR HALF AN HOUR FOR SOMETHING SIMPLE - can't find it to save my life. Give up and google it, it gives me a reply like yours "just go to a completely unrelated menu to conjure a hack out of your ass that barely resembles what you originally intended to do".

Fuck that UX man. I am so glad pirated photoshop works well in wine nowadays and I have a VM with a legit Adobe suite if I ever need to actually whip up my license for some reason (fuck adobe as well btw.)

I pray that one day there is a real competitor that works natively on Linux. I pay, take my hard earned money every month, whatever it takes, just make it intuitive and reach near feature parity with PS.

If anybody is still reading, sorry for venting, the GIMPs always trigger me, have a nice day.

but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum’s decision that I am missing.

Licensing money.

tldr:

• life, work, family reasons for one of the guys. Nothing negative, he just has no time for the podcast anymore but will show up in their linux podcast from time to time in the future.

The one I installed, obviously.

Aaah finally, malware for Linux, truly the year of the Linux Desktop!

mainstream

is the keyword here. Mainstream is really big.

They come for the lions share first. You do nothing because you think you're unaffected. Then later they will come for you. And nobody will do anything for you either.

Of course, professional criminals like yourself (sarcasm) will find a way to escape the law. But I doubt it's nice to live on the edge of society like that anyway, being unable to interact with most services.

skill issue

The original ‘28 Days Later’ is less widely available due to licensing issues, so many have turned to pirate sites instead.

Piracy is a service issue.

I have a funny storry:

there is a book I really wanted to read. It is an old af psychology science book. There is no pirated version of it anywhere.

I found one copy of it on the used market and bought it because the price was ok.

At home, I open it up and see that THE MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTER WAS CUT OUT!!! Literally there were the ends of the pages still bound with strings and you can see a wavy scalpel cut where the rest of the page would be.

Thats the physical equivalent of an incomplete torrent. Felt so bad.

Any linux distro is significantly more lightweight than windows. But I'd say that there is not much difference between arch and for example the most bloated distro: ubuntu.

If you are a coder, the CLI will be easy. Most of the time the use of CLI is comparable to a single line in your code where you call a function with some parameters.

But arch is difficult for a beginner. (I wrote some more about my experience with it here: https://lemy.lol/post/61578059/24360161 )

If you have time, interest and discipline to read the documentation and learn a lot, then arch is great.

If you just want to use a Linux OS, install Mint and just use it. It's no big deal, just a normal OS. It's very intuitive, low friction and no microslop bloat.
