It’s not well explained for sure but judging by the names of the cookies I bet those store the consent (opt in/out) values for the other tracking options. Another way of putting it would be those are functional cookies related to the cookie consent form itself so that you don’t have to re-select consent options every time you visit the site.
The reasoning is that it is not illegal to fake most student ID cards but it is a federal offense to fake or alter government issued ID documents.
That way if it becomes an issue they can just pass it on to the authorities as their problem.
As someone who also has produced code that looks like random characters spewed onto a terminal while using fpdf, I feel this one.
It can still have issues with potential attacks that would redirect your client to a system outside of the VPN. It would prevent MitM but not complete replacement.
Likely you needed to include the intermediate cert chain. Let’s encrypt sets that up automatically so it’s quite a bit easier to get right.
There is also SMS passive reading using LEO intercept. Hacked police email accounts are used to gain access to carrier systems where they use “imminent threat” no warrant lookups to pull the SMS in real time.
SMS is a terrible form of 2FA, better than none but not by much.
Your experience may depend on which distro you use and how you install things. If you use a distro with a stable upgrade path such as Debian and stick to system packages there should be almost no issues with upgrades. If you use external installers or install from source you may experience issues depending on how the installer works.
For anything complex these days I’d recommend going with containers that way the application and the OS can be upgraded independently. It also makes producing a working copy of your production system for testing a trivial task.
I’n Windows it is not stored in a keyring but instead in the registry. This has basically the same security threat model as a local key file.
The ssh-agent on Linux will do what you want with effectively the same security. The biggest difference being that it doesn’t run as a system service but instead runs in userspace which can make it easier to dump memory. There are some other agent services out there with additional security options but they don’t change the threat model much.
My memory of the cp command is that attributes such as file times were transferred at the last step. I think this would make rsync safe in most situations where a system crash wasn’t involved.
I think I remember running into that as well but for whatever reason I couldn’t get accelerated-x working with the opengl libraries I was using for school. Likely the issue was just a lack of understanding on my part as I don’t think I had a good grasp of the Linux library loader until well after I graduated.
I’ve had a system in the late 90s with a 3dfx voodoo card. Also had a laptop with a SIS card from the early 2000 era.
The voodoo card was THE card to have it it’s day (mine was an older second hand system though). The SIS card… for some reason they decided that standard VESA mode probing wasn’t a thing they supported and would hardware crash when that API was used. I eventually got it working in Linux after patching xfree86 to not attempt probing when loading the VESA driver.
QEMU supports either spice, vnc or sdl graphics output. If you want to copy/paste you need to use spice and install the spice agent on the VM.
If you want an automated system that can protect against ransomware your backups need to be hosted in some way where the backup server has control of the retention and not the client (NAS, local disk, etc are not sufficient). If your NAS supports automated snapshots that can’t be deleted by the backup user it can mostly fill this gap but may need to be checked for how it handles snapshots when the disk fills.
For self-hosted solutions I’ve used BURP, Amanda, and Borg backup in the past but have switched to Proxmox backup server as my VMs all run in Proxmox. You still need to consider full disaster recovery scenarios where both your primary and backup system fail. For this PBS sports both tape and remote server replication.
There are also many cloud solutions that do this automatically. For cloud I would always use them in tandem with some kind of local backup.
For all of these they should have an admin account that has strong protection and doesn’t share credentials with any of the primary systems.
My steam deck also unlinks family libraries with almost every os update. It might be an issue of overzealous hardware validation but it could also just be a bug.
It’s very likely that your disk is failing.
dd if=/path/to/file.mkv of=/new/file/path.mkv conv=noerror,sync bs=4k
Should give you a file with just the damaged bits missing.
PTSD from the days long ago when X11 error log would fill up the disk when certain applications were used.
Are they on a local disk? Thunar doesn’t render any thumbnails for remote storage by default.
You can still enter audit mode and change some registry settings to switch to a local account. Last time I did an 11 install on a device with Wi-Fi it also let me create a local account after trying to continue with a blank password a few times.
When rsync copying the active root I like to bind mount / to /mnt/root_fs first. This avoids the issue with needing to exclude folders with sub-mounts and will expose files to copy that might be hidden by the mounts.
It can often improve performance and memory latency and usually only has a minor CPU performance impact as it trades cycles waiting for memory for cycles decompressing memory. It is usually decent even on low power embedded devices.
There are a few edge cases where ZRam is not great. If your data is already compressed or encrypted copying it around in memory is much more expensive. It’s also harder to tell exactly how much data can be loaded into the “free” memory. It’s also a bit slower for serialized memory access in large data sets if the compression ratio is low.
