I tried 5 different credit cards to setup my account and none of them worked for the free tier. Contacted customer support, they simply said “well we can’t do anything about it, it’s clearly a problem in your end and not ours even though you tried 5 different credit cards to pay for the service”.

Try Piper for your Logitech peripherals.

My issues with Samsung nowadays is that they offer a very low TBW warranty compared to other brands like Kingston.

I wanted to buy a 1TB storage for my games and I couldn’t decide between Samsung and Kingston. Samsung had a 600TBW warranty for the 1TB model, Kingston had 800. I ended up choosing the KC3000 from Kingston.

That’s usually what happens with FOSS. The problem as I see it is that the dev doesn’t have time to update the app and there’s almost no one stepping up to hel fix longstanding issues. I’m pretty sure the dev will be more than happy to see people submitting PRs to fix some issues with the app :)

For the panels issue, you can launch CS2, press Alt+F3 to open the window settings, go to configure special app settings, then set an option for the app so that it always launches in fullscreen mode.

I also added a shortcut to make games fullscreen by pressing Ctrl+Enter.

I believe this is a bug with KDE and should be reported to them. The same issue is reported on Valve’s repository but nothing has been done from Valve’s side to fix this issue.

EDIT: link for relevant issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/3274

the workaround is written in one of the comments:

  1. Open CS2
  2. Press Alt+F3
  3. Click on “More actions”
  4. Click on “Configure special applications settings”
  5. Add a property
  6. Select “Fullscreen” (click on the “+”)
  7. Select “Force” and “yes” for the “Fullscreen” parameter
  8. Click on “Ok” (apply and close)

That doesn’t seem to be the case. From what I read on HN, the dev quit because he thought it didn’t make sense to submit CVEs for temporary/wip solutions, and F5 thought otherwise.

So as I see it, the developer quit because he didn’t agree that a CVE should be opened for a work-in-progress solution that was live on Nginx.

So… not using Signal because it’s based off a conspiracy theory that it’s secretly funded by CIA?

Well, let’s stop using RSA and encryption because the most used secure crypto algorithms today were created by none other than the NSA!

EDIT: None of the alternatives provided are good alternatives for Signal. Matrix is an extremely complicated protocol that lacks some features compared to normal IM apps (I use Matrix and the experience is quite close to a standard messaging app). XMPP is dead and has a very niche userbase. The others are not suitable for being a daily messaging app.

Signal is a good alternative and while I do agree with some points, they are not bad enough to prevent you from using it (e.g. not having usernames).

It’s still not an excuse to just ignore the security update because you might not be a target for hackers.

Just check your logs, there’s probably a dozen or more requests trying to access wordpress pages on your server, or login via SSH. They want to take over your server so it can be part of a botnet.

I think so, but if you check the official image you can definitely find out how to include custom plugins in it. I think the documentation might mention a thing or two about it too.

You can install the log transformer plugin for Caddy and have it produce a readable log format for fail2ban: https://github.com/caddyserver/transform-encoder

I had this setup on my VPS before I moved to a k3s setup. I will take a look at how to migrate my fail2ban setup to the new server.
