 [cave johnson voice] Oh, in case you got a swapfile on a zstd compressed btrfs partition, here's some advice the lab boys gave me: DO NOT make a swapfile on an zstd compressed btrfs partition. We haven't entirely nailed down what it is yet, but I'll tell you this: it's a lively one, and it does NOT like the desktop environment.  @thememesniper Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine.  @thememesniper Gordon Freeman in the flesh. Or rather, in the hazard suit. I took the liberty of relieving you of your weapons; they are OSHA violations. As for the suit, it is OSHA-compliant.
enabling secure boot, kernel lockdown, etc only for a security researcher to discover a hardware vulnerability in the intel Binkleforden subsystem that lets anybody telepathically gain ring -3 access to your system by perceiving its existence @thememesniper (the binkleforden was not mentioned anywhere until this day, and is apparently responsible for 80% of the cpu's performance) @thememesniper Damn. I switched from Ubuntu to Parrot OS (home) recently and now I cant activate secure boot anymore. It's called Blink because you blink and it's taken the place of another native program  @thememesniper 🤓 um actually boot0 (assuming wii/wiiu) isn't "verified" okay but for real i would definitely use my ps4 as a server if it had an exploitable fw version  @thememesniper I'm going back to bed and crying myself to sleep for the weekend. (Arcade vendors aren't better, with encryption, SlapSTIC bank-switching bullshit, Capcom and their evil CPS suicide batteries, just to name three.) And oh... even after everything stated above, those developing emulators eventually crack the stuff anyway. god it feels like encryption and the entire sanctity of the internet is constantly under siege by people who can't open a PDF by themselves

  @thememesniper PDFs aren't helping. I remember when this was only the "one trillion dollar Amazon refund" signature failure: https://pdf-insecurity.org So… same year… "how to break PDF encryption"… if PDFs can't handle themselves, I don't expect my mother to. See also the obligatory "Schneier's Law" reference, since encryption's involved in this. cishet techbros think fedi is failing because nobody interacts with their posts they don't know the secret: clears throat meow

 @thememesniper i actually for a long period of time had something like this on my laptop, alias that ran a script that had the following lines (from my memory, they're probably wrong) rfkill unblock lan  |
Gregory's Server
@thememesniper i'm so happy i just made my swap inside an encrypted LVM
@thememesniper this just makes me want to try it
@thememesniper My google-fu is lacking in this brave new world of AI slop. I'm pretty new to Linux and I do have a swapfile on an encrypted btrfs partition. Seems to be working OK though. Should I be worried? If so, what should I do, please?
