Agree.

Years ago, I was troubleshooting something (can’t remember what) on Ubuntu and realised the package had fixed the bug, but it wasn’t in the repos yet… like months behind.

Looked at Arch with it’s up to date repos, moved over and never looked back.

I’ve reported bugs since, watched the package get updated and seen the improvement on my system… now that’s what it should be like.

Critical Synology Vulnerability Let Attackers Remote Execute Arbitrary Code

Just build your own. It’s easy. Move on.

Ah, I see what you’re asking now.

I have a Hauppauge TV dual-tuner card for terrestrial TV.

Dual tuner so we can watch one thing whilst recording something else, or record 2 things at once.

Myth picks up the card and also uses that for the schedule guide, so we can just set up the scheduler with a TV series or some key-words and leave it to it.

We’ve not watched live TV for ages and it’s weird sitting through adverts now when we’re at friends / family

We also have GBs of films and music on the same machine, so it’s our central AV device. The Audio is sync’d off to other devices from here rather than having a 2nd NAS for it.

I had a 2nd MythTv frontend on another box in another room for a while and that worked well too.

TV programs…

Similar here.

MythTv + Firefox + VLC - all on Arch

Used to be easier when Myth was in the main repos, now I have to compile from AUR, but it’s still ok

Thanks for the TL;DW, I can go about my Arch updates without fear now…

Yeah, that’s all fine - when it works, it works well… But sometimes it just seems to get caught up in an error and can’t seem to reset for a few minutes. But ok, looks like your setup’s working ok, so must be just mine. I disabled a load of Google stuff and run trackercontrol (a local VPN on the phone that blocks stuff), so maybe I’ve broken something…

Hmm… I’m using gotify with a Ras Pi to send the alerts and I sometimes get long delays…

AFAICT it’s the phone, not the Pi, but all I can see are lots of websocket errors in the gotify client the time… are you not getting those then?

Never heard of it, but still, sad to see something ending… seems like it was a good learning resource.

So, just spear-phishing then, but I do agree, it’s novel to have a dynamic target site.

It does seem like a hardware issue to me too…

It might be a driver issue… Windows does have the resources to test them more than Linux community, so - kinda hardware related - but Framework should be able to help here.

And as others have said, try memtest, I did on a laptop with similar issues to yours and found the RAM was the culprit. Personally, I recommend using this version, not the passmark version: https://memtest.org/

It’ll boot from a USB stick

It will take hours.

For Linux use ‘sudo journalctl -xe’ (from memory) - it’ll explain the issues it finds, as best it can. You’ll probably see something in there

If you’re dual booting with Windows open the event log viewer and check under System (from memory) and see if there’s any red X warning logs… esp. Hardware ones.

On the up-side, at least you have a chance of fixing it… If that happened on a Windows box, you’d be reaching for the gun / installation media by now

We were aware of these vulnerabilities and exploitation risk prior to these reports and promptly developed fixes for Android.

So… they’re aware of the vulns, but won’t fix until reported? 🤔

we are very excited about being part of the Claudflair team

Guess they’re so excited (and thrilled) that they forgot how to spell

Yeah, my reading speed has decreased a lot as I’m continually trying to assess if what I’m reading is true or not

Like, maybe the AI was the true story and the April fools story was the April fools? 🤯

Are you saying I could get Linux running on my Fairphone 3+?

Mind you, yeah, 3G switch off would then make life difficult…

Enterprises just lease desktops / laptops and replace them with the latest version of Windows… my team used to be after reasons to get the latest OS / laptop, now IT have to prise them out of their hands

Yep, hence my comment…

You should see the fear on people’s faces when I suggest they restore a backup - esp. on Production.

My advice (to combat their fear) is to take an offline backup that has some kind of checksum and then immediately restore it.

That gets them past the initial fear and then we progress onto other backup strategies… if needed.

Backups… fine

When’s the World “test you can restore” day?

Ok, didn’t think about “unlimited” actually being slower - thanks for the insight.

I’m running a pfSense f/w at the edge, so split horizon DNS and haproxy are already sorted… I’ll check out wireguard - should be straight forward

Thanks
