Oh I hadn't thought of how I'd installed Vivaldi. I always just choose the basic install -- no Vivaldi mail, ad-block, etc. Just their core browser. Then I install uBlock Origin on top of that. And, so far, I've never hit the new Youtube adblock-block.

I'm waiting to see Youtube block me using Vivaldi w/uBlock Origin on Linux so far. It hasn't happened, am I accidentally doing something awesome to evade their traps so far?

Vivaldi's Chrome-based, so I would presume the same tricks to detect uBlock Origin on Chrome itself would work, or is Vivaldi doing something sneaky?

I have no problem jumping to Firefox the moment they do it -- I just haven't had an issue yet. I should add I'm in Canada, perhaps that is a factor.

As article states, you're not vulnerable if you don't have the 'graphapi' app installed, whatever that is. Checked my nextcloud instance and it's not there.

I sincerely hope it turns out to be the case. I don't pretend I haven't torn out my hair on multiple occasions fighting with xorg.conf.. that's for sure.

Just being provocative for the lulz on a memepost, mostly :)

:) I'll try it again, promise. I just didn't have a good experience around two years ago. I do hear it's much better now.

I'll confess I've avoided systemd to this day however. Devuan/Funtoo are fine, and I don't miss any of the supposed improvements systemd brings. So I'll probably be rocking Wayland/open-rc or Wayland/sysv-init until I drop dead.

So is it a priori illegal in the UK to walk around on public sidewalks wearing a Guy Fawkes mask?

Time to recreate that crowd scene in VfV ...

Can't even mount a USB flash drive or SD card?

If you can't use any removable storage, then a web-based cloud or p2p service might be the only way.

How about magic wormhole? You could self-host that on your server. Unless the work PC bans outright drag 'n drop file uploads to a web page ...

Oh, but that will all happen after the rich jerks who caused all this are dead, so it doesn't matter! Why would they do anything to stop it?

EDIT: Plus they already have their apocalypse bunkers lined up so even if it all hits sooner, who cares about the poors right?

Just go read the original source, djb's blog post about it.

TL;DR: he thinks NIST either (through incompetence or NSA pressure) misrepresented NTRU vs. KYBER, and that KYBER-512 might be weaker than claimed so use KYBER-768.

Got Steam with Proton going on my Devuan laptop a few weeks ago, and very impressed with how many games work. I might just get a Deck, after trying out a friend's.

I think M$ needs to be very afraid -- probably why they bought Activision and are trying to dig their way deeper into the gaming ecosystem.

You're implying I have made a series of promotions spamming the fediverse -- I have not. Twice max, I think. I am merely a rando who found out about by accident around the same time as this story, and it looked kinda cool. Honestly haven't launched it since taking one or two peeks since.

Is there some reason for the antipathy I am not aware of? I admit to liking Louis' channel and his fight for right-to-repair...
