>>107700064>>107700365the 'trick' with ntfs is that if you have a crash or unsafe shutdown (i.e. power loss). you should boot into windows and let it run chkdsk before using it again, as linux doesn't have a fsck for ntfs. this doesn't necessarily mean you need a full windows install, even just attaching it to a vm and running it with a windows install dvd is enough to be able to run chkdsk on it.ntfs support in linux really useful for many things, but as a permanent solution it's not ideal, it's more for interacting with windows computers and being able to get your data off of it
>>107699749NTA, but I'm using btrfs with an LTS kernel, should I be concerned?
>>107700190>I'm the only user of this machinethere's your answer. more or less restrictive group permissions on ~ don't matter if there's nobody else in your group.it will matter a whole lot if you try to sync /usr/ /bin/ or /etc/ though
>>107699692Nothing would work if you needed a driver for your CPU. If the BIOS isn't even detecting it then it's not installed properly.
>>107700419I'm pretty sure any kind of write to NTFS using Linux is enough for Windows to flag it as needing CHKDSK on boot. Pressing any key to skip it used to be a constant thing back when I used an NTFS drive as shared storage. I use a NAS for this purpose now.
I know I'm a dumbass and this is probably a worthless question, but I do wonder how systematic they really are. it does sound like they simply try something like, say, 3 letters long, going from "aaa" to "aaz" then "aba" and repeat, until all "zzy" or all symbols, then moving on to 4 characters long, then 5, then 6, in that pattern.but do they really work that way? is it that systematic?reason I'm asking is because security tips always just say "change your passwords often so that you don't get brute-force attacked", but my dumbass is sitting here wondering whether or not only changing my (example) password from "melongarden2025" to be "melongarden2026" once a year would do little to nothing because it's right next in the systematical order.or whether or not having a password change from "aaaaaaa" to "bbbbbbb" would be less safe than, say, "zzzzzzz" due to their distance between each other in the alphabet order and how long it will take for the bot to go from one guess to the other.TL;DR in what order do these things try guesses, and how should I change my passwords to work around it? should all my passwords start with Z from now on? should all password changes be wildly different from what it previously was?
>>107700511>services put a character limit on password length sometimes to save up on storage.If they have issues with storage that mean a few bytes of password are unfeasible, they likely have bigger things to worry about. Additionally, they shouldn't actually be storing your password... Common practice is to hash the password, and store the hash. Depending on hash methodology, they should all have the same length entries regardless of the input pass...>doesn't help that the platform itself asks for specific thingsLong proven untrue to enhance security. Strongly indicates that platform doesn't take security seriously when it's parroting best-practices from the late 90's.>but that removes quite a bit out of the pool of possible guesses when it's a hard rule, surely?The opposite, in fact.I can instantly eliminate all combinations that *don't* feature that pattern....
It's twofold.You are thinking about brute force wrong.No one brute forces some login prompt. Instead, websites get hacked and databases get leaked.In the databases are your username, email, and a hash of your password.The hash is one way, you take your password and it one way converts it to a string of like 32 or so random characters using a math equation.Every time you type the password, it gets put into an equation, and then the result is compared with the value in the database.So you can just brute force that, generate and hash a billion passwords a second and compare them with the known hash until you get a match.Literally multiple billion times a second for some of the common hashes.But changing your password often and using different passwords for every service is the best solution, because once one gets leaked, it should be changed, regardless of how difficult it is. Completely just protects from immediate access or delays from the leak being announced.Unfortunately when a company gets "hacked", depending on the data sensitivity, they have either 6 months to report it or they don't even have to report it. So that's where changing it often and keeping complex passwords comes in.
>>107700153Here's the thing. They don't work like that. How it actually works modernly is there's giant files of millions of passwords. What hackers do is they sort by most commonly used and run the brute force. The reason security people advice you to change your password more often is because once one of your accounts is hacked it'll be posted online in some hacker discord or whatever. Most general hackers (indians) will take your email and password and try and use it to login to some other site like coinbase, or paypal, or whatever. So the actual reason it's recommended you change your password is because once your information is leaked it'll be associated with a certain hacked password and changing it mitigates all the bots that try to auto login to shit with it.https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords
>>107700589>No one brute forces some login promptEvidence suggests otherwise>websites get hacked and databases get leaked.And these details are augmented to lists to attempt.>generate and hash a billion passwords a second and compare them with the known hash until you get a match.Or just use a rainbow table...>But changing your password often and using different passwords for every service is the best solution,Untrue.Using seperate passwords is good security. Rotating frequently, not so. It's been proven to cause difficulties in recollect and demonstrates no evidence that what it's being rotated to is any more secure than what it's rotated from...>So that's where changing it often and keeping complex passwords comes in.Comment too long.

>>107700589>>107700641what if the difference is, again, literally only the service name? like >>107700422 ... is that stupid but good enough to protect against one place being leaked, since, again, most hackers might just be trying the same stuff on different places as-is without changing it whatsoever?

I am regularly amazed that we pretend folders are the right way to organise files. They’re entirely arbitrary. Every competent file system ignores them to its best ability. Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”? Why can’t I filter for files that exist in 3 folders with X extension?We’ve been played for absolute fools.
>>107695986sweet mother of joseph, what is up with the furfa/g/s?!
>>107697189I see now. The tag shit is what AI technophiles and influencers are pushing now. No wonder its so retarded.Directories work the same as tags. The one difference being that you find the task of making a coherent and logical directory structure tedious and you want the computer to do it for you. There is no difference between "year/month/a-d/contract.pdf" and throwing all the PDFs in Downloads and tagging it with " 'year', 'month', 'contract' ".Organizing files in a logical and coherent order was one of the basic functions of a secretary or a librarian. If they could be trusted to file and retrieve important documents, it really is your problem if you can't sort your AI porn slop properly.Then again I was taught how to look for books in libraries and how to search for topics/words in physical encyclopedias/dictionaries instead of mindlessly typing words in Google, so maybe it really is a unique set of skills that digital natives simply lack.

Reddit is the best source of accurate up-to-date information
>>107695724No, reddit is the easiest source to find for genuine comments made by real, innocent people (not paid by industries or marketers).As for the accuracy and truthfulness of the information on reddit, it depends. Most of the people who post there are normies with no education or culture, so I advise you to take their information with a grain of salt.
>breaking news>99% of comments [removed]>politically correct admin/janny approved narrative at the top>anything contrary nowhere to be seenYeah, very reliable.
>>107699753Most correct answer. Reddit has better bot and brigading resistance than most platforms, not because they care, but because it gets in the way of their own ad revenue stream.But the objective value of anything you find there will be an absolute crapshoot depending on the sub.

>>107696633>>107696617you two will make me make a few big posts, you get that right?first of all, Heroes 3 Complete from Gog, Horn of the Abyss, VCMI and modded gog are all different games that are very different to play and have huge differences where at some point the similarities are so small, Civ 5 or Chess are more similar to some of these games than how similar they are to each other:the Gog version, hd version, complete and I will add HotA to the mix are all essentially vanilla heroes 3 versions that are the standard campaign or small numbers skirmish games - they are balanced and all the monsters, skills ( except for like 5 god ones : town portal, fly, Dimension Door, implosion and resurrect ) are mostly balanced. depending on the size of map, the game duration is different and the power of the monsters and the hero battles is small and balanced. bigger maps may favor magic skills and imba shit like necro while small maps favor attack and defence bonuses.On a linux machine this version of the game is the easiest to install - just install the gog exe into wine/lutris and its done. But the versions mentioned above are boring : small number of factions to choose from, not so many imba monsters or skills, it gets stale after a while. Gog modded and VCMI both turn the game on its head:Gog modded is what i like: everything gets 100 times stronger and the early game is the only part of the game where decisions matter and army combat is very interesting. gog modded has the problem that there is a point where if you are from an op faction and you have town portal and dimension door, the game is over, but until that point the game is arguably the most interesting heroes 3 experience. its not the end point but the journey. i can go into huge details, but i am lazy. gog modded is the hardest game to run on linux - it requires 3 different lutris installs of 3 different Windows vms each into each other and the end result can only be played in Gamescope.
>The development comes a little over a year after the tech giant [Google] disclosed that its transition to Rust led to a decline in memory safety vulnerabilities from 223 in 2019 to less than 50 in 2024.>The company pointed out that Rust code requires fewer revisions, necessitating about 20% fewer revisions than their C++ counterparts, and has contributed to a decreased rollback rate, thereby improving overall development throughput.>We adopted Rust for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density compared to Android's C and C++ code. But the biggest surprise was Rust's impact on software delivery," Google's Jeff Vander Stoep said. "With Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one >With roughly 5 million lines of Rust in the Android platform and one potential memory safety vulnerability found (and fixed pre-release), our estimated vulnerability density for Rust is 0.2 vuln per 1 million lines (MLOC).>Our historical data for C and C++ shows a density of closer to 1,000 memory safety vulnerabilities per MLOC. Our Rust code is currently tracking at a density orders of magnitude lower: a more than 1000x reduction.https://thehackernews.com/2025/11/rust-adoption-drives-android-memory.html
>>107699968Rust's big guarantee is no UB.Privilege escalation isn't language-level unsafe either even though it's bad news, there will always be many things you have to watch out for manually unfortunately. I don't think anyone actually involved with this says that if it compiles it's ready to merge.
I bought into /g/'s seething about Rust for years, thinking it was some bloated just-in-time dynamically typed meme language with runtime bloat, virtual machines, and multiple layers of tranny garbage collection and reference counting stuff to make it "safe". Then I finally read about it and discovered it's a language which compiles into machine code like C/C++, and that it just has a strict compiler which doesn't allow programmers to create one of the most serious kinds of memory bugs. It literally won't compile if you try to shoot yourself in the foot. And programmers seethe because "manual memory management" is something "they can do", except they fuck it up over and over. It's like insisting on working in a factory with exposed spinning knives "because I'm smart enough to not put my hand there" - except accidents happen. The rest of the non-IT world has grown tired of your memory management fuckups, with zero day exploits and nation state attack vectors. Memory safe programming is becoming a mandate in some cases. The writing is on the wall, pointerchuds - Rust is the future.

>>107698553>measuring the voltage without a load
lower voltage is good for you because you pay per kWh and the lightbulb will now consume 0.054 kWh vs 0.06
>>107700089You and op are dumber than the dumbest gorilla nigger to walk the earth.Your power from the outlet goes to your house breaker panel, which is shared across your entire house, then that goes out to the power pole and over into your local power transformer, which is shared with your street or block, then that goes along some 10kv or so wires to your local substation, which is shared with your entire neighbourhood or more.Everything is under load. You can never raise voltage higher than the source, so a load in your neighbours house is all the same.There are two issues.1. Power factor overall across an entire city is fucked, which can lower measured rms voltages using a known load like this2. Reliance on cheap electronics can cause inaccurate results.If you want to measure your power at home accurately, use an oscilloscope
