>PVH qubes don't use QEMU. Also KVM is not used in QubesOS at all. QEMU is used for stub device domains for HVM qubes or sys-usb / sys-network / other pci device qubes (which are all HVM
I see, I didn't know/remember that (I haven't used Qubes in about a decade).
still, you have multiple points where your data passes through. doesn't mean you can easily obtain data or compromise everything, but the attack area is not small.

>that's up to you as a user to compartmentalize your system according to your threat model
sure, but the Qubes team could do a lot more, like ship hardened VMs or ways to automate the hardening mitigation measures on install.
that's one of the main criticisms against Qubes. isolation on itself does little, and does even less when you don't harden shit...

>the only connection is Xen backend drivers and yes they're included in the TCB.
notifications and command messaging are also communications. do you think there can't be vulns there?

>I don't know what that even is. I think you're just making shit up.

Using Qubes without taking advantage of its compartmentalization feature is just retarded. Qubes have passwordless sudo and are relatively unhardened by default compared to a standard Linux installation, so doing everything in one Qube can actually be worse than just using typical Linux from a security standpoint. If you're not compartmentalizing, then you're doing Qubes wrong. At the very least, you should keep your passwords stored in an offline vault instead of keeping them in an AppVM which connects to the internet.
>>
>>107743850
>still, you have multiple points where your data passes through.
no such major points where a data passes like you're thinking of (QEMU process on top of Xen etc.). Default qubes are PVH, which is paravirtualized mode with CPU virtualization extensions. The guest kernel natively runs on top of the Xen with paravirtualized interfaces. No QEMU process or such thing. There's stub domains with QEMU processes for HVM qubes but those are also VMs as well (except less secure since those are PV instead of PVH). I do not recommend running HVM qubes out of the neccessary sys-net / sys-usb and others.

If you mean sys-net -> sys-firewall -> ** -> app-vm network chain, the data is passed through xen netback/netfront. that's one thing that needs to be scrutinized (other than the Xen internal thingies). Proxy chains do not decrease the security. The attack surface is smaller than most other setups.

>sure, but the Qubes team could do a lot more, like ship hardened VMs or ways to automate the hardening mitigation measures on install.
Qubes' threat model assumes the guest OS is compromised. The trust boundry is between the VMs, not inside the VM. But it doesn't stop you from using hardened guests. In fact, the downloadable templates include Kicksecure which is same as Whonix but for desktop usage.

to ship with Kicksecure by default instead of one of the most used Linux distros (Debian, Fedora) makes very little sense because guest OS's security is not the project's main goal. They do not guarantee it. This is how an actual threat modeling is done, instead of throwing random things at the kitchen sink.

>isolation on itself does little
that's the whole point of the project. if you're not going to benefit from compartmentalization or deliberately avoid it then there's no reason to install Qubes OS to begin with.
>>
>>107744793
cont.

>notifications and command messaging are also communications. do you think there can't be vulns there?
actually... yes. I completely forgot about event channels, xenstore and grant tables since I haven't been using vanilla xen for quite some time too. They are the one of the most dense in amount of vulnerabilities. as I said here >>107742330 Xen isn't the pinnacle of type-1 hypervisor design. But it's still a hypervisor after all and its vulnerabilities are only compared to other hypervisors. see https://github.com/hardenedlinux/grsecurity-101-tutorials/blob/master/virt_security.md#avoid-xen-if-you-can

>Qubes gives you root by default, so it's not like an attacker needs that shit to steal data, but even if you modified the VMs to ask for root, an attacker could compromise your browser.
again that's not a part of the Qubes' threat model. An attacker inside an untrusted VM has no access to your browser. You're not supposed to do sketchy things inside your trusted VMs, like opening a random PDF file. Qubes actually has default dropdown entries for opening files in file-manager inside a disposable VM. It even has a document sanitizer which literally takes photos of the documents by opening them in a disposable VM and sending the pixel data over a channel to be reconstructed into a document again.

>it's ok to think you are protected by isolation. keep thinking Qubes will save you from getting pwned
What even is the argument here aside from the things I already answered? Why would isolation not work?
>>
>>107743986
>Qubes have passwordless sudo and are relatively unhardened by default compared to a standard Linux installation, so doing everything in one Qube can actually be worse than just using typical Linux from a security standpoint
that might be correct if you're using just one qube with paswordless root.
>If you're not compartmentalizing, then you're doing Qubes wrong.
it's not a matter of right or wrong. you claimed it offered no extra value, which I disagreed with explanation.

Does anyone know why when I plug in my generic wired gamepad from walmart it just vibrates non-stop?

For some reason it's being recognized as nintendo
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 057e:2009 Nintendo Co., Ltd Switch Pro Controller


I googled and tried modprobe -r hid-nintendo, that did nothing.
It's xbox style, but xboxdrv doesn't recognize it.

It just sits there rumbling non-stop as soon as it's plugged in.
I'm on void with x11 xfce
>>
>>107744671
What is the brand name? Some peripherals have firmware issues and this applies to mice even.
If it is fully USB compliant it should not vibrate because usb is a standard, so it's more likely a kernel module issue afaik.

8bit do controllers have this feature for example.

Is this setup optimized for space or image quality, or balanced? Since this is not important stuff I could live with some image quality degradation if I could significantly reduce the file size. I encoded two minutes and I got 775 kB/s (or 6.2 kBit/s), which is only a sixth of the original (the h264 encoded file), which is great (it didn't have audio however).

Now, I'm tired of this fat FUCK popping up in all of my fucking Applicant Tracking Systms when I'm looking for a FUCKING server janny! I don't give a FUCK about the aftermath of ANY of you Powershell fans that feel sorry for this greasy fuck!

I know there's gonna be a lot of people out there calling me a bully, well guess what? I'm not! I just don't feel sorry for lazy fucking people, especially fat fucks who sit there all day, gorge and eat, and make no money because they've studied absolutely nothing! While a bunch of sorry fucks like yourself play into it!

You don't like what the fuck I'm saying?

Then FUCK YOU!

Closed source software is not the same as patent protected software. Releasing a offline usable closed source binary under no license is so much more ethical then a proprietary (patent) license that threatens people with prison time and civil liability for sharing/modifying software or using it the wrong way. Also the addition of spyware sometimes and cloud tethering. Which I also oppose.

But it seems TMK that Stallman may conflate offline usable closed source and patented software as if they are both as bad. but maybe some people know more about him then I do, Does he recognize the difference and what does /g/ think of the difference? I'm saying I strongly agree with Stallman big tech patent hoarding and patent trolling is harmful, and and I view the GPL3 like a voluntary contract programmers agree to participate in and hope to abolish all patents one day, but I'm not following his logic that seems to hint at closed source software being illegal as an ultimate goal. Patents should be illegal but not software with no public code.

my brain had a malfunction I conflated patented software and copyright software with heavy restrictions.

I think all copyright should be replaced with non disclosure and public agreements. NDA for closed source among a team of developers. And the GPL3 and BSD reimagined as a public contract that activates whenever someone modifies GPL code.

Honestly if it was just copyright laws preventing sharing of software I wouldn't care. What pisses me off is how ideas are protected by the state. In example Adobe held a 20 year patent on adjustment layers, or Namco patenting the loading screen mini games. Or how some licenses say you can't legally modify the software even in your home or only they can fix the hardware. Similar to right to repair laws. That is what I am against.

It just seems that Stallman views it as a human right to modify other people's software, that is where I disagree. Its a voluntary agreement of people participating in GPL3 software.

Fact check them. Grok and DeepSeek do not understand but they do have very good fact checking abilities.

The most likely hallucinations are when Grok gives something that sounds like an answer but is a complete fabrication. DeepSeek doesn't do that much at all but Grok does from time to time. Other then source checking the best thing to do is have the same conversation with different AIs several times and look for consistency and tell them to cite the sources.

Just like people on Mastodon fall short of understanding freedom. The concept of positive vs negative liberty.

Dude on Mastodon rails against software patents, big tech cloud tethering everyone's software, and supports local offline software use. I strongly agree with him there. Then I read more of his post and he goes on about how much he loves the EU and thinks that Government should pay all FOSS devs and how a massive welfare state is salvation. That's the point I diverge on. Its positive vs negative liberty and I have taken negative liberty to its logical conclusions. Where as the people on Mastodon and Stallman are mixing both in inconsistent ways.

Stallman wants total digital sovereignty as do I
but he also wants to keep the strong centralized government to provide welfare state creature comforts.I don't think you can have a Government that represents the people and as I cited in a previous post the EU is violating civil liberties while leftist on Mastodon celebrate them . Stallman expects both total privacy where Government doesn't know who you are and a massive welfare state to care for people. That is a huge logical contradiction he has. You can't have both and you must pick one, freedom or dependency!

When taking negative liberty to its extreme conclusion it would be better to live in a world without GPL3 licensing if it meant that most copyright and all patents were abolished since the early 90s onward.
