I assume the problem is hardware. Matt’s hardware didn’t work well with LM, therefore Matt thinks LM sucks… I do wish there was better hardware support but it’s the reason apple went with 1 product = 1 OS = 1 general set of hardware. Sure not every iPhone has the same hardware, but that’s why they have the model numbers, and it’s so much easier to test 200 model mixes than 2,000,000 (Android). Windows gets all the debug info sent directly to them like the others but they also have a huge stack of hardware they can use or they can buy it to test.

This should have been much more well thought out The wording, image, buttons, specific wording for each page.

They really screwed the pooch.

Another 4-6 months minimum before release. But quarterly numbers must be met.

wget toteslegitdebian.app/installer.sh & chmod +x && ./installer.sh

was I not supposed to do that? but staxoverflown said it’s OK.

That does go a long way towards explaining why there are so many Bluetooth vulnerabilities, thanks for the info. Looking at the list of Bluetooth protocols wiki page gives me a headache. Surely there is a better standard, and I see things like HaLow, ZigBee, Z-Wave and other custom protocols, but it seems like there should be a very cleanly well-documented alternative to do the basics that everyone expects BT to do. This, coming from a total noob, speaking completely out of my anus. I just know that as a BT user, it’s a crapshoot whether there will be major audio delay, and pause/play actually worked, that’s if pairing works in the first place. But if something did come along I wonder if there would even be adoption among consumer devices.

Is it true the Bluetooth network stack is larger than the WiFi network stack? If so, why? I don’t know much about BT besides pairing, allowing calls and audio in/out, transferring files, and… is there more? It takes a day of reading documentation to understand all the advanced options on my ASUS router interface, and that’s without anything proprietary.

I’m just surprised and curious and never got a satisfying answer.

Honeypot? Dunno. Good discussions about it on hacker news.

And have eyes good enough to look very closely and detect any small . or `s that are out of place, and be current on all methods of sanitization, catching any and all confusing variable names doing funny things, and never getting mentally overloaded doing it.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if teams at NSA & co had game months where the teams that find the highest number of vulns or develop the most damaging 0day exploits get a prize and challenge coin. Then you have the teams that develop the malware made to stay stealthy and intercept data for decades undetected, and the teams that play mail agent and intercept packages containing core internet backbone routers to put hardware ‘implants’ inside them.

These are the things Snowden showed us a small sliver of in 2013, over a decade ago, some of which was well aged by that point.

The days of doing illegal things for funsies on the internet, like learning how to hack hands-on, are over if you don’t want to really risk prison time. Download vulnerable virtual machines and hack on those.

But if you’re worried about a random maintainer or packager inserting something like a password stealer or backdoor and letting it hit a major distro with a disastrous backdoor that doesn’t require a PhD in quantum fuckography to understand, chances are likely big brother would alert someone to blow the whistle before it hit production, as they likely did with xzutils.

That was supposed to be or, not of.

In turn it compromises ssh authentication allows remote code execution via system(); if the connecting SSH certificate contains the backdoor key. No user account required. Nothing logged anywhere you’d expect. Full root code execution.

There is also a killswitch hard-coded into it, so it doesn’t affect machines of whatever state actor developed it.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39881018

It’s pretty clear this is a state actor, targeting a dependency of one of the most widely used system control software on Linux systems. There are likely tens or hundreds of other actors doing the exact same thing. This one was detected purely by chance, as it wasn’t even in the code for ssh.

If people ever wonder how cyber warfare could potentially cause a massive blackout and communications system interruption - this is how.

Somehow I don’t think they’d mind too much, provided you give them a nice leech habitat.

Until Socraleech comes along and they force him to suck hemlock.

made out of plastic (nonstick material)

So is it plastic or PFAS?

The Y2K38 Epochalypse bug hit 2 years early due to Microsoft’s rushed implementation of Windows Subsystem for Linux under CEO Elon Musk, causing all newer systems running Windows to combust due to a combination of the bug, and a cyberattack on Musk’s new chip fab plant in the state of Mexas. The only widespread choices after that are WacOS and Ubuntrue, both parent companies owned by Elon Musk after winning in his presidential prelection in 2026 and removing all antitrust legislation. However there is a hobbyist Unix distribution still being passed around called Briarch that fixed the 2038 problem in 2025 when development started, but you have to be in close proximity to someone with it to get it, which is easy in the country of California but not as easy east of the Nutah border, you really have to trust someone to even ask if they have it.

Year of the Linux Desktop! 1999-2035!

They’re just smartphone apps as a way to interact with Lemmy, versus visiting it in a browser. If you mostly use Lemmy on desktop, search ‘lemmy frontend’ for other options.

Is docker virtualized or otherwise emulating something? It’s just a way to package things, like an installer? Then it’s bare metal.

I had to look this up too, I thought docker containers were virtualized.

That would make sense if the cause is some looping from hanging DNS lookups. Someone should (and likely has) notified the devs about this.

Another possible solution, from https://help.nextcloud.com/t/server-hangs-and-then-is-fine-for-a-bit-then-hangs-again/153917/16

Exactly this. There’s a massive difference between providing a product and laying it all out plainly in the terms of service, and providing a product to remotely hack phones through said service with no prior agreement by the user to be hacked.

First sentence of the article:

NSO Group, the maker of one the world’s most sophisticated cyber weapons, has been ordered by a US court to hand its code for Pegasus and other spyware products to WhatsApp as part of the company’s ongoing litigation.

NSO Group has been ordered to hand over the Pegasus malware code that allows them to silently infect phones via WhatsApp, so Meta can fix it. This isn’t NSO Group being forced to hand over WhatsApp source code.

There will be at most 5 software developers who have access to the code, on a non-networked machine, surrounded by a group of lawyers the entire time. No one will have the ability to leak the Pegasus code. After that, it will probably be handed to the random mormon-looking plainclothes guy nobody in the room can figure out, who will take it back to the NSA so they can scour it for any non-WhatsApp 0days they don’t already have.

It’s worth noting that NSO Group is an Israeli company, as are many ‘legal’ entities of hacking software and hardware used by many nations.

Works fine on Boost.

I tried Sync for a couple hours before I uninstalled.
