It’s PKI, public key infrastructure. It’s secure so it’s used in many applications. Including ssh using keys.

I ended up reading it on bleeping computer since the linked site looks like an auto tldr bot saved 50% of the words. The important 50% was discarded.

For me I want to know how much frame latency there is since I’m suspicious and I want to try things to see the effect and I just don’t know how to get that information in an OSD like I can with msi afterburner.

If someone knows what can do this in Linux, please reply!

Instead I just stopped all competitive and cooperative gaming. Which is a bit of a shame. Sometimes I’ll load up windows to join friends but usually by the time I’ve updated whatever game I’ve gotten over it.

Don’t get me wrong, hiccups aside I’m very happy which is why I’m in Linux most of the time. But it’s not always a wonderful world.

This will be able to do cross site (apps) information collection within other sites (apps) in this profile. The way this works is one of many, and complicated so: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/cross-site-tracking-lets-unpack-that/

The idea of profiles is to stop this behaviour and other behaviours through isolation. Along with other practices makes up a privacy-in-depth (layered) approach. It doesn’t solve everything.

For example if you are in the same house sharing an internet connection, it is possible to say “at least one outstation in this house (IP) are interested in ‘x’ and therefore I should target everyone in that house because people who live together are interested in similar things”. Even if you isolate, you could still teach a data hoarding company like meta you like something simply by them by necessity needing your IP to communicate.

Some people try to say ‘I’ve got a VPS with a VPN to communicate all traffic through’ but that doesn’t add any privacy, your exposed VPS with its IP is an IP only for you and still all collected information about you would be able to be thumbprinted to that IP across many services (eg instagram whatsapp and Facebook). A public VPN provider in this case adds a layer of obfuscation since you can change your IP rapidly and it’s an IP that’s shared with other unrelated users. Which is exactly why many services like reddit are banning access from them under the guise of “oh training data leaks from VPN, and we want to sell it” bs.

Anyway it’s a tough world out there to be private. I’m at an age where after 10 years without Facebook and I never had instagram, everyone knows I’m contactable via sms. It’s not secure, it’s barely private, but I don’t really “chat” except at the pub. So that’s where they ask me to visit. Lol.

Giving you an up vote instead of myself leaving a snarky comment.

I keep asking the pets for their owners secrets but they don’t tell me? I’ve tried pats, compliments and treats? Am I doing it wrong? How are you getting them to tell you about their owners?

I checked too, it’s not a valid public DNS record, so then the question is, does Oktas internal DNS resolve this. Even if it does, how does okta even sit in this? Are they the identity provider for Twitter? Surely even if it’s identity, it’s got nothing to do with content moderation? So many questions.

You know it’s stuff like this that forces me to rewrite dns on the firewall, but that’s probably not even possible if they use DNS over TLS.

Hate to break it to you, but most IT Managers don’t care about crowdstrike: they’re forced to choose some kind of EDR to complete audits. But yes things like crowdstrike, huntress, sentinelone, even Microsoft Defender all run on Linux too.

Well, what I really wonder is if because the kernel can include it, if this will make an install more agnostic. Like literally pull my disk out of a gaming nvidia machine, and plug it into my AMD machine with full working graphics. If so this is good for me since I use a usb-c nvme ssd for my os to boot from on my work and home machines and laptops for when I’m not worrying. All three currently have nvidia cards and this works ok. I have some games to chill and take a break. My works core OS for work MDM etc unmodified. I like it that way.

I realise this is not a terribly useful case, but I could see it for graphically optimised VM migrations too not that I have many. Less work in transitioning gives greater flexibility.

Eating the onion is sure popular today!

Fundamentally what the alternative is, is to propose that you remain the sole owner of your privacy at the cost of sharing with advertisers that you have, say, 6 generic topics you’re interested in. Like motorsports. It, with the millions or billions of others looking. The ad tracking currently knows everything about everyone and then works out if motorsports is an effective ad for you individually based on their profile of you.

For me, I’m fine with the current system. For my family though, they’re just using phones and tablets with their default browser, blissfully unaware that there’s no privacy. Then their data gets leaked out.

I know it’s an extreme kind of case, but domestic abuse victims are always my thought when you think of a counter to “well I’ve got nothing to hide”. Those people if they’re unsure about privacy, will err on the side of caution. They stay trapped.

In conclusion, I’d rather move the needle forward for those who are at risk. Those who installing anti-tracking plugins would put at further risk. Where installing odd browsers make them a target. We can find perfection later. Make the Web safer now.

Plenty of people could justifiably take the opposite stance. But even just for my grandparents, they shouldn’t be tracked the way they are. They’re prime candidates for scams, and giving away privacy is one data leak away from a successful scam.

Kind of off topic to what you said I realise. :)

I’ve been thinking of running something using second hand usb cameras and raspberri pi 3+ since my switch already has poe and my nas has 40tb.

I have a 3d printer so a wall mount enclosure shouldn’t be hard either.

Was thinking of mounting them on the window frames indoors.

Nvr software like this might work: https://github.com/seydx/camera.ui

Tailscale will allow me to access the Web front end anywhere on my devices. Individually it could hold the RPis too just for remote troubleshooting later if anything happens.

Personally I’d like to reuse as many things that I already own and have no specific reliance on a vendor. If I got a rstp camera later, I wouldn’t need a pi to host the camera. But I’ve got a couple of pis and a couple of usb webcam to start. It won’t work for night mode so I’ll have to make sure the outdoor lights are triggered by motion.

But I’ve not done anything yet this is all how I’ve thought about it in my head. So I’m watching this space to learn more too.

I’ve seen similar on my desktop on proton when on wake it crashes the display manager and shows my locked desktop unlocked with all the running applications before it finishes crashing closing all my applications and then going back to login screen.

You’re right. Both cloud services (like Microsoft 365 measured by licensing) and azure each individually are about double Windows. They together make over half of Microsoft’s earnings while Windows is like 16%. Then you’ve got games and linkedin and others filling up the smaller %.

Microsoft doesn’t need Windows, you can run your office 365 off Mac or Linux for all they care. Just host all your virtual workloads on azure regardless of OS if it’s not serverless, and they’re fine with taking that money.

This thread teaches me that generally, most Linux people are looking at windows. Meanwhile Microsoft only thinks Windows is 16% of its business.

Basically, it seems, most Linux users do not think hard about Microsoft.

Yeah, my mum isn’t going into the shell. She’s 65.

I don’t really like the idea of ‘beginner friendly’ like ‘you’ll get better and start doing it the real way’. It’s not some esport where it’s easy to play and hard to master, it’s a toolbox where it’s only job is to get out of the way of you accessing your tools.

Operating systems are middleware.

Yes, you’re right about voltage and amp combined, but the problem is modern phones and their charges don’t generally want to be doing high amps at 5v, they increase their voltage to 9v, 15v or, 20v. Which like you would point out, is not the right voltage.

Personally I just feed 5v in via a ubec like this: https://core-electronics.com.au/ubec-dc-dc-step-down-buck-converter-5v-at-3a-output.html since I usually have some kind of 12v battery powered thing going on with mine and lots of 12v ac-dc adapters for bench testing and charging. Lots of ways to power them but it’s definitely not just ‘grab your usb-c charger and it’ll be right’ which can be frustrating for people since it’s almost all other usb-c things will ‘just work’.

I’ve used virtio for Nutanix before and not using open speed test, but instead using iperf, gathered line rate across hosts.

However I also know network cards matter a lot. Some network cards, especially cheap Intel x710 suck. They don’t have specific compute offloading that can be done so the CPU does all the work and the host cpu itself processes network traffic significantly slowing throughput.

My change to mellanox 25g cards showed all vm network performance increase to the expected line rate even on same host.

That was not a home lab though, that was production at a client.

Edit sorry I meant to wrap up:

• to test use iperf (you could use UDP at 10Gbit and run it continuous, in UDP mode you need to set the size you try to send)
• while testing look for CPU on the host

If you want to exclude proxmox you could attempt to live boot another usb Linux and test iperf over the lan to another device.

Are you trying to use kiosk mode in a way that was never intended? Kiosks being public use terminals like in retail or used for search only terminals at public places?

This sounds like an XY problem to me intuitively since your use case wouldn’t naturally match a kiosk situation.
