did you forget the USSR existed and was a global superpower?

Obviously not. That’s what I’m referring to, they had all the means to prosper. Crapload of our everyday things on medicine, power technology, engineering in general and a lot of other things are built on top of what USSR came up with. And even after USSR fell there was still all the possibilities for Russian Federation to grow and prosper but their leadership chose not to. With their natural resources alone, when managed sensibly, they could absolutely dominate the US and seriously challenge China.

no nation on Earth can brainwash people into supporting an unpopular war

But they have brainwashed people making the war popular in the first place. Creating enemies out of thin air, like claiming Ukraine with their jewish president is a nazi regime, is something Russia (and USSR) have been doing for centuries. Instead of improving their own country they just create distrust and destruction.

racist screed about how Russians are some kind of backwards idiot nation.

Russian people (at least the ones I know) are generous and hospitable. But Russia as a nation is really idiotic as they could just have it all. Practical global market domination with oil, forestry and agriculture, a crapload of minerals to refine and (once) some of the smartest humans around to advance their technology but instead of that they chose basically violence on multiple fronts.

I highly doubt that there would be any revolting, but if there is it’s all created by current leadership in Russia. They have all the resources and at least used to have one of the most advanced scientists on multiple fronts, massive culture and every other possibility to be an absolute global superpower with very few who could’ve challenged that.

But instead they threw that all away, didn’t push their country forward to prosperity and instead let the selected few raid and rape the country. And now with the war in Ukraine, over million russians are either dead or wounded, economy crumbles and the whole empire is starting to fall.

Nothing has changed since second world war in there and seems like nothing will.

There’s no nazi regime and never has been one in Ukraine, unless you want to claim that natzi party actually ruled in Ukraine around 1940. No one, nazi or otherwise, was threatening Russia, Putin just has his obsession of the Soviet Union glory (whatever that means on him) and that’s caused immense suffering and continues to do so every day.

I hope they’re playing swan song soon on your television and radio once again.

Putin can quite easily help. Just pull all of your troops well behind 1991 borders, stop the nonsense with ‘areas voted to join Russia’ and fly to Hague. Ukraine will happily arrange elections for new president once that’s done.

Ei nyt aivan suora vastaus kysymykseen, mutta effi seuraa kyllä tuota(kin) sirkusta sen mitä hyvällä ehtii.

You’re correct. All packages installed via dpkg/apt are on that list. What isn’t included are appimages, flatpacks, snaps and other non-dpkg software if you happen to have any.

I’m not sure about this latest approach but previously these have suggested that operators should provide either keys to decrypt the messages or straight up backdoors on server software to intercept messages there. At least I haven’t heard about a mandated user end scanner.

The whole idea is catastrophically bad on multiple fronts. It’s sold (as usual) via some twist of “protecting the children” or “protecting the populace” but in practise it would often just make it easier for criminals (CSAM spesifically) to stay under the radar and undermine all kind of privacy for EU citizens in the internet (whistleblowers, reporters, oppressed minorities and groups like that would be first to feel the effects). We need better politicians who actually understand what they’re proposing.

Nothing has these ‘glyph’ lights, but software support for them seems to be pretty limited (not that I’ve looked too deep, all these modern phones are just boring). I hope they can come up with more controls for them, hardware seems to support quite complex patterns.

And setting permissions on directories get’s them inherited by newly created/added files in there, right?

No. They’re created based on ‘umask’ and changing directory permissions doesn’t automatically change permissions on underlying files (unless you set privileges recursively) nor new files in the directory.

So how can i remove the ability from my homedir to execute current and new files but keep the traverse permission?

For new files set your umask on what you want. By default it’s usually either 0002 or 0022. For existing files you can use find: find ~ -type f -exec echo chmod a-x {} \; (remove echo once you’ve confirmed that it does what you want).

Tässä nyt tosin varmasti painaa se, että Nissen on myynyt kirjoja netissä ihan työkseen aikaisemmin niin tuo kirpparimyynti on nyt sitten tulkittu ammatin jatkumiseksi. Eli vaikka nostelisi tukia niin kyllä sitä kirpparikauppaa saa edelleen tehdä ja vaikka päätös itsessään on toki aivan järjenvastainen, on siinä silti hyvin pieni logiikan häivähdys taustalla.

Meilläkin kuitenkin on käsittääkseni syyttömyysoletus vähän joka paikassa, joten jos tuosta nyt epäily nousee niin olisihan se virkailija voinut laittaa selvityspyynnön aiheesta ja homma olisi sillä taputeltu, mutta nyt on syystä tai toisesta lähtenyt mopo keulimaan aika huolella.

Pikaisella nettihaulla nuo tuet on suuruusluokkaa 800/kk ja se kertaa 5 vuotta tekee mukavat 48 tuhatta lanttia. Siinä voisi palkkatyöläistäkin vähän yskittää jos pitäisi yhtäkkiä repiä vuoden bruttopalkka tuommoiseen sekoiluun ja lisäksi tässä tapauksessa vannetta kiristää vielä tukien epääminen. Töitä on hieman hankala hakea jos ei ole varaa puhelinliittymään ja aika kuluu ruoka-avustusten perässä kävelyyn. Toivottavasti asian julkinen puinti nyt pistää vähän vauhtia rattaisiin.

Mitä sellaista joku muu distro tarjoaa “nettipankki ja iltalehti”-käyttöön mikä ei hoidu yhtälailla Mintillä ja Cinnamonilla? Ei se toki ehkä ole niin trendikäs tai bleeding edge kuin muut jakelut, mutta edes näin “edistyneenä” käyttäjänä en ole kokenut että siitä varsinaisesti puuttuisi mitään. Jos nyt jotain pitää motkottaa niin en ole jaksanut viritellä kaikkia mukavuuttalisääviä pikanappeja omaani, jotka varmaan löytyisi valmiina esim. KDE:stä, mutta kun hommat hoituu muutenkin pääasiassa selaimella ja terminaalilla niin eipä sen ikkunamanagerin tarvitse paljon muuta kuin pysyä pois tieltä.

Täältä myös ääni mintille. Vaikka itselläni on linuxin kanssa “muutamia” vuosia takana niin mintti löytyy silti työpöydältä ja läppäristä. Toimii melkein missä vain perunassa mihin sen nyt vain suinkin saa survottua eikä hajoa omiin päivityksiinsä “ikinä” (toisin kuin Ubuntun snapit). Lisäksi jos ongelmia tulee vastaan niin Debian-johdannaisena siihen löytyy valtavasti tietoa verkon uumenista millä alkaa ratkomaan ongelmaa.

big begginer distros

I wouldn’t say that Mint is a ‘beginner’ distro. Sure, it’s beginner friendly, but it’s equally friendly for everyone. I’ve been a linux user for “a while” and currently I prefer Mint on my workstations. It offers me everything I need from a distro in a neat package and as I’ve been a Debian user since Potato it’s a familiar environment.

But if OP want’s somehting “more linux-y” then good old Debian should do the trick. Basically anything with decently long history besides Ubuntu (in it’s current state) will do just fine.

Based on quick seach on the internet, Ukraine currently has 6 active Patriot systems. If this shipment actually happens and, as the article suggests, includes also missiles and other consumables, it’ll be quite a big deal for Ukraine. My very much not professional guess would be that it doesn’t change the front lines too much, but it should help on shielding their civilians from missile/drone attacks quite a bit.

I think what just_another_person means that Lenovo, specially at the beginning when they got the Think-brand from IBM years ago, tried to ride the brand and released sub-par laptops under ThinkPad -brand. At least some of the L-series were closer to what you could get from your local supermarket than actual work machines.

The brand-riding is now greatly less and the crappy ones generally aren’t the models you can find refurbished from 3rd party retailer. I’m currently using T495 and it was ~300€ from a sale couple years ago, now you apparently can get L13 for less than that. And of course, when you buy used units do your homework and only make deal with a reputable seller, there’s always an option that previous owner didn’t treat the thing nicely.

The generic answer for this is to get a refurbished thinkpad. Pretty much any T-series fit your needs and there’s plenty of pre-leased corporate machines around which are refurbished and often have even a some kind of warranty.

Are all the distros having the same GNU/Linux kernel

Yes. Different distros have different versions, patches and so on, but the underlying kernel is the same.

if I replace all the Arch userland files into Debian’s, the system will become Debian?

If by “userland” you mean files which your normal non-root user can touch, then no. There’s differences on how distributions build directory trees, file locations, binaries, versions and so on. You can of course replace all the files on the system and change distribution that way, a convenient way to do that is to use distros installer but technically speaking you can also replace them manually by hand (which I don’t recommend).

My understanding is that they are producing a tank once per day or two days. Or?

Very brief search around the internet gives estimations around 250-300 tanks per year but the numbers seems to go down as they struggle to gather parts and resources, specially during 2025, but who knows what kind of supply lines they can arrange with China and other allies in the long run.

Over the past few posts I’ve set up a Windows VM with USB passthrough, and attempted to reverse-engineer the official drivers, As I was doing that, I also thought I’d message the vendor and ask them if they could share any specifications or docs regarding their protocol. To my surprise, Nanoleaf tech support responded to me within 4 hours, with a full description of the protocol that’s used both by the Desk Dock as well as their RGB strips.
