I'd honestly just go Ubuntu server LTS and learn to configure it through the terminal. It's not too difficult to setup. NFS and Samba shares.

If more than 0.1% of people do that I'd be flabbergasted

The unencrypted data should only be in memory when needed (copied to clipboard, shown on screen etc). After use the objects handling sensitive should overwrite themselves.

A string falling out of scope in C++, or an object being left to the garbage collector is still readable and not overwritten by default. It's a very easy problem to solve in C++, either through custom allocators or destructors. But it makes a bigger difference when objects having short lifetimes

"Leaked".

All leaks are deliberately orchestrated to fan the hype train.

Attackers need to access the system kernel to exploit the Sinkclose vulnerability, so the system would have to already be compromised. The hack itself is a sophisticated vector that is usually only used by state-sponsored hackers, so most casual users should take that into account.

So it's a vulnerability that requires you to.already have been compromised. Hardly seems like news.

I can understand AMD only patching server chips that by definition will be under greater threat. On the other hand it's probably not worth the bad publicity not to fix more.

I moved from an FX8350 to a R5 5600G a few years ago, having run it for about 9 years. Initially I didn't think I'd notice much difference, but frankly it's an entirely different ballgame.

At this point if you use Chrome I think there is something wrong with you.

"Already stable enough"

  1. no it isn't.
  2. if fucking should be, it's been around 15 years!

A big reason for owning a gun is protection of property. No one owns FOSS, so you can't shoot anyone, and that's no fun at all.

It started with Emby and pihole. I'm now up to about 30 different services from Vault, email, 3CX, home assistant, firefox, podgrab etc.
