You can limit what a given package has access to with kernel based security package profiles for packages like apparmor, selinux, smack or tomoyo. Someone with root access can change this but it can be helpful at preventing someone from gaining that access in the first place.

The 6.12 kernel UHD630 graphics worked when not compiled for realtime but just voluntary preemption. So I have filed Bug 219510. I suspect the kernel team will refer me to Intel since they actually maintain this driver, then Intel will say well it worked when the kernel people didn't hack it for real time and it will end up going nowhere but time will tell. Without a working display, I can't really test KVM/QEMU so will have to wait for action on this bug.

99% of what I do is on Linux, I have one Windows partition I occasionally boot into to play games, it is and will remain Win10.

Microcode would not be a concern with that particular CPU.

Fact that you can still ping but not resolve means your name servers aren't set right.

@BCsven @fireshell Or Linus from moving the organization back to Finland, or Iceland, or Switzerland, or some other more neutral territory.

@possiblylinux127 @davel Since 2022, China has amplified its purchase of cheaper Russian oil after the West hit Moscow with unprecedented sanctions.

@linuxisevil @madthumbs Sorry but Dave Plumber isn't at the top of my list of trusted sources. I don't expect someone whose got a vested interest to be neutral.

@yogthos @theunknownmuncher I am in the US and I realize this. There was a funny meme a while back about look how aggressive Russia is, they put their country all around our military bases. Unfortunately there is a lot of truth in that. What other country has military bases throughout the world?

@theunknownmuncher The US has been involved in probably 300 regime changes throughout the world, has invaded many countries, including those that we were not affiliated with. Russia invades a neighboring country when we install a leader that is going to allow us to put missiles on their border. I really hate to see political hegemony get in the way of a good collaborative effort, we all suffer for it if we allow this.

This is a shame, I always thought Linux was supposed to be an International collaboration, hate to see it caught up in this bullshit political agenda.

Snap turns your system into a slug at boot time, makes it take forever to shut down as it unmounts fifty memory file systems, scatters files all over the place turning a neat organized system into a pile of shit. I primary run Ubuntu, but I excise snap from it as one of the first orders of business.
