Given that the UUID changed, you almost certainly made a new LUKS container, overwriting the old one. Thatâs bad, because the LUKS header is the only source of the actual encryption key that was used, and making a new one will overwrite both the main header as well as its backup copy immediately. Your password/keyfile/whatever is merely used to decrypt the part of the header that has the actual encryption key, and thatâs gone in that case.
Unless you have access to a header backup from before that, thereâs a fairly strong chance itâs irrecoverable. Iâd suggest going through any archives you might have to see if you have such a backup - most of the instructions on the Gentoo wiki encourage making one, so you might have made one through the power of copying & pasting instructions. Should be a file of around 16MB.
Itâs the second field on the edit profile page. Canât recommend putting it in, but victim blaming doesnât help anyone that already did so.
The edit profile page has a statement that âproviding your real name can help friends find you on the Steam Communityâ with no indication that doing so also puts you at the risk of capital-G Gamers. I can see quite a bunch of people thinking that thatâs perfectly reasonable and not going to be abused.
Some people are opposed to sudo
being a fairly complex program with an awkward to understand configuration language and a couple of methods that can fetch config from elsewhere. Fixing upstream sudo
canât happen because those features exist and are presumably used by some subset of people, so straight up removing them is not good, but luckily doas
and sudo-rs
exist as alternatives with a somewhat stripped featureset and less footguns.
Others are opposed to the concept of SUID. Underneath all the SUID stuff lies far more complexity than is obvious at first sight. Thereâs a pretty decent chunk of code in glibcâs libdl that will treat all kinds of environment variables differently based on whether an executable is SUID, and when that goes wrong, itâs reported as a glibc bug (last yearâs glibc CVE-2023-4911 was this). And that gets all the more weird when fancy Linux features like namespaces get involved.
Removing SUID requires an entirely different implementation and the service manager is the logical place for that. Thatâs not just Lennartâs idea; s6, as minimal and straight to the point as it tends to be, also implements s6-sudo{,d,c}
. Itâs a bit more awkward to use but is a perfectly âUnix philosophyâ style implementation of this very same idea.
SO already was. Not even harvested as much as handed to them. Periodic data dumps and a general forced commitment to open information were a big part of the reason they won out over other sites that used to compete with them. SO most likely wouldnât have existed if Experts Exchange didnât paywall their entire site.
As with everything else, AI companies believe their training data operates under fair use, so they will discard the CC-SA-4.0 license requirements regardless of whether this deal exists. (And if a court ever finds itâs not fair use, they are so many layers of fucked that this situation wonât even register.)
This is a fork of the evaluator/language implementation/daemon/builder/whatever you want to call it. The other one (Auxolotl) is a fork of Nixpkgs, the repository of build scripts and all the NixOS misc pieces.
Or put into other terms, this is a fork of APT/RPM as well as their associated builder tools, while Aux is a fork of Debian/Fedora/whatever. The Nix evaluator is a much more complex piece of software than most other package managers so it does benefit from having a dedicated team working on it.
Lemmy (and Kbin for that matter) very much do the same thing for posts. I donât think they fetch URL previews for links in comments, but that doesnât matter: posts and comments are both fairly likely to end up spreading to Mastodon/etc anyway, so even comments will trigger this cascade.
Direct example: If you go to mastodon.social, stick @fediverse@lemmy.world
in the search box at the topleft and click for the profile, you can end up browsing a large Mastodon serverâs view of this community, and your very link has a preview. (Unfortunately, links to federated communities just result in a redirect, so you have to navigate through Mastodonâs UI.)
If youâre a gamedev trying to make a decent mobile game, youâre competing on all the usual fronts like price and perceived quality, but competing for attention has gotten a whole lot harder when [arbitrary card game] has a hour of dailies, [arbitrary gacha game] always has a special campaign going and [arbitrary fake gambling game] is about to have its battle pass end and theyâre only halfway through. And that has gone up by so, so much over the past decade. It was never good but itâs gotten absolutely egregious. At this point, even any generic snake clone will have a battle pass.
Every person that ends up committed to a couple of those long-term-commitment games ends up having much less time for other games. And they make a lot of money, which means they also end up having a hell of a marketing budget.
