for running GUI app, I use flatpak which is a sort of a container / sandbox

it may not be a big deal for an average person but for a journalist or a political figure, it can cause big problems

why games get windows 3.1? Lot of steam games work well on Linux some even work better than on windows 10.

Windows 3.1 can not play any game developed in the past 20 years or so.

yes Syncthing should work just fine just make sure to only sync the save directory to minimize bandwidth. rsync is another common tool (at least for Linux) that does same job through command line. making it easier to automate the syncing tasks through bash scripts

Good article but not really cybersecurity related

I’d check https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search because most browsers including mozilla firefox rely on google safe browsing.

The other thing to point out is that if an attacker somehow got root access, they could install a so called “rootkit” and what it does it replacing some of the basic commands like top, ps, … with altered ones in order to hide the malware activities

few years ago I was contacted by digital ocean because they got reports about myserver being involved in ssh attack or something like that. Turns out my old drupal website had unpatched vulnersbilities that allowed attacker to access my system and use it for attacking others.

am not saying that to defend your provider they should have at least give you a warning. I an saying that to check yiur server as it may have been compromised

TLDR; main attack vector is misconfigured rabbitmq. Malware target mainly servers. Easiest way for detection is noticing unsually high cpu usage that stops when u ssh to the server

here is more detailed article https://web.archive.org/web/20241006122240/https://www.aquasec.com/blog/perfctl-a-stealthy-malware-targeting-millions-of-linux-servers/

would be easier if you tell us which distro are you running mkinitfs on

Seems that the file /etc/mkinitfs/features.d/ is only linux alphine thing so creating it for another linux distro does nothing.

https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Initramfs_init

I would create a systemd service instead if your distro is using systemd https://www.slingacademy.com/article/ubuntu-how-to-create-a-custom-systemd-service/#Introduction

Edit: Sorry please ignore my comment. Your entire system is encrypted so that won’t work. I’ll see if there is another solution and post it

Edit2: Maybe you need to place the file here instead /usr/share/initramfs- tools/scripts/ ? https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man8/initramfs-tools.8.html

Now that upstream Linux is adopting Rust,

is it? From what I read the old kernel developers are really opposing it

Are you even able to access the bios ? Could it be a problem with your montor ?

according to manufacturer Temp should be between 230-250. Maybe try with 230 and see if it helps?

A better option is to print a “temperature tower”

something like that: https://all3dp.com/2/temp-tower-cura-tutorial/

It should show which temperature is ideal

Could be too much heat so when film retracts some still drip and causes that. What temperature are you printing at?

“To abuse Visual Studio Code for malicious purposes, an attacker can use the portable version of code.exe (the executable file for Visual Studio Code), or an already installed version of the software,” Fakterman noted. “By running the command code.exe tunnel, an attacker receives a link that requires them to log into GitHub with their own account.” Visual Studio Code

Once this step is complete, the attacker is redirected to a Visual Studio Code web environment that’s connected to the infected machine, allowing them to run commands or create new files.

TLDR; the attack is very sophisticated, require hardware access and specialized tools. On the other hand its not possible to patch the vulnerability

First thanks for the official link from postgresql

race condition in pg_dump in PostgreSQL allows an object creator to execute arbitrary SQL functions as the user running pg_dump, which is often a superuser

This is serious.

Suppose I - the attacker - create a table somewhere in your DB then I will create a function that drops all tables in the whole database. Now if I try to execute that function, it would fail because I don’t have permission to do so. So what do I do? I know a script runs as postgres superuser to do full DB backup daily. I use this vulnerability to trick the script into executing my function. Now my function is running in superuser mode.

Microsoft found OpenVPN bugs that mostly affect windows

I have never had thunderbird crash. Not questioning what you say but perhaps its sonsthing else? Did u try deleting thubderbird data and starting fresh ?

Ya there is prboom which is installable on Linux. Also dosbox was a thing for playing dos games on Linux
