What are good news sources from the UK?

BBC? Guardian?

What about telegraph?

What arrogance?

As I have been told, for years, av on Linux is used to protect windows machines on the network. Companies use clamav to scan files on network shares used by windows machines. Also, what about virus database/definitions, are they having Linux signatures?

Since I have no windows machines on the network, why? Has this changed and I should run clamav to scan for Linux viruses? Do signature files actually have signatures for Linux viruses?

Android most often is compromised by malicious apps, not viruses, which is not really (yet) a problem on Linux. Once it becomes a problem, I will install av. So far it has not been an issue.

Anyway, effectiveness here is interesting

What do you run?

No av on my machines on Linux.

What I understand, av on Linux is used to protect windows.

Use an ad blocker when surfing (ublock origin), install only via official repos and set up a DNS server with decent blocklist and you should be fine.

If this is so convenient, why wasn’t it made a part of a newer C standard?

Thanks! I don’t mind reddit, whether I like it or not, they tend to have content.

Regarding trump, this is becoming a world class circus. Especially when I saw the myspace link on Whitehouse.gov

Got a link for that other one?

Thank you for this explanation.

Two sentences that are a bit confusing:

The direction it would fly would be sideways, perpendicular to a line drawn to the center of the circle and not outward away from the center.

fly inward out of the bucket because that would cause a change in speed toward the bucket

What about the oven?

Linux is not what it used to be.

When you think linux (on the desktop), don’t think nerdy terminal thing… Think a bit more complicated Android when using gnome and when talking normal use. You still can use it for advanced features like self hosting, but for advanced things you would need terminal. Regarding normal use, I installed it for my mom… No complaints, no viruses, she is super happy since people today mostly use a web browser.

Mini PC can be used for selfhosting, yes. Server is a ‘role’. It’s not necessarily hardware. So you can selfhost a bunch of things on rpi, Linux phone or actual server hardware. Subscribe to selfhosted community and see what people do there. Easiest is maybe to start with network file share to work with windows (in Linux world this is called samba).

Self hosting will not come always with a gui and you need to learn things like podman (a container engine), but recently a management tool called cockpit bacame very usable. I think i saw that they even have samba configuration GUI, but I’m not sure. Anyway, Cockpit is a web tool, so if you have it enabled, you can fix and change things from another computer. Check the screenshots: https://cockpit-project.org/

If Arte Works via a browser, install Firefox and that’s it.

I use a mini PC from HP, elitedesk or prodesk not really sure, with Intel 8gen cpu. Size is like 2x 100g chocolates. I would advise against this specific micro pc - due to some hp firmware stupidity - it causes HDMI to not have Sound out-of-the-box. Some manual configuration is needed (if you do opt for it, I can tell you how to fix it).

To avoid these problems. I would go for AMD CPU of 4000 gen of later. That kind of pc on willhaben costs roughly 200-300eur.

You can check also afbshop they tend to have refurbished equipment for really good prices with warranty from time to time.

Since we are in the privacy community, maybe not. I only proposed it for convenience and if this didn’t cross your mind.

Privacy aside, with PS5 or Xbox you get a device with two features. Plus new games are insanely pretty, I really like Forza 5. Since this is not what you want, I can propose maybe one alternative, better fitting for privacy community: use Linux Box in the form of a mini PC and get a USB optical drive.

A while ago I was considering a similar thing, just instead of dvd, I was considering blu-ray. Couldn’t find really a cheap one which works with 4k, so im sticking with mini PC option and an Xbox

What about BluRay Player in the form of PS5 or Xbox Series X?

Did not think of doing that.

I guess i never expected anyone to have a fcking JavaScript on a simple page as that

Not OP, but what I do lack here is a decent server Implementation in a single binary and easy deployment.

Also decent native clients for various platforms. Do we have any good ones?

This probably isn’t a xmpp specific, but I’d like to have it work like wireguard. If the keys are wrong, self hosted instance would just reject it on the packet level. Then only authorized clients could use it. Outgoing connection on some hub instance would give access to outside world. All this would help with self hosting.

No idea actually, but for me works with no issues

Not an expert on the topic, but I guess this will come down to companies providing the services (meta, signal, telegram…) to embed the scanning.

If they don’t force google/apple to implement it somehow for all outgoing messages (traffic?)

Google removing sideloading conveniently plays into this…

EU regulation to scan all messages on user devices
