Implausible deniability.

Guess Russia has the right climate for snowflakes lol.

According to https://en-gb.support.motorola.com/app/software-security-update/#gs=eyJndWlkZUlEIjo3MTEyLCJxdWVzdGlvbklEIjoxLCJyZXNwb25zZUlEIjo0LCJndWlkZVNlc3Npb24iOiIqVzktTEJpciIsInNlc3Npb25JRCI6IkxMZVlMQmlyIn0. the G55 and G56 get 4 years of updates (at least in Europe), randomly checked others are between 2 and 6 years.

I think that’s for Play Store accounts, so you can share an app there with a small audience without the otherwise necessary verification, not for installs from Github / F-Droid etc. which will have some new kind of “are you sure you’re not getting scammed here?” confirmation for installing apps from completely unverified developers.

https://github.com/nullobsi/cantata is an active fork, used by the link above.

music player demon runs in the background and plays music (always remembers its position, and if you reboot while playing music it’ll continue playing automatically when the system is up again), and can be controlled by various clients like Cantata, Euphonica or Plattenalbum (they should all do 2.) and many others. It can output network streams, clients can connect over the network (control the music on your PC from your phone), utility demons to feed your play queue with similar or random songs…

Very versatile, though setup is a bit more complicated than with one simple program.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirect-bypasser-webextension/ in desktop Firefox seems to work for your link. For mobile there might be apps that you share the link to and they dissect it, but a very quick search didn’t turn up anything.

I think you need to run sha256sum -c *.iso.sha256 (note the -c) to check the .iso file against the downloaded .sha256 file. Or just cat the .sha256 file and check that its content matches your output here.

There’s the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinkclose vulnerability which afaiu could compromise the CPU itself. Haven’t heard about it being actually exploited, but who knows.

My main system runs Debian stable, so it will be running 13 at some point as well. For people who want a system that works and keeps working and don’t buy new hardware all the time it’s a good choice.

Is that a realistic attack scenario that end users need to be concerned about?

Most of the recent(ish) updates are vulnerability fixes (after all, the platform is over eight years old now), and they’ve removed various intermediate versions already or there’d be even more.

This board has a dual BIOS, the integrated flashing utility by default only flashes the main BIOS, and you have to enable the option to flash the backup explicitly. Never had to use the backup, afaik it activates automatically if booting the main BIOS fails several times.

My ASUS “only” has a recovery function (flash BIOS from USB stick automatically if bootup fails) and no warning that I could find.

From https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AX370M-Gaming-3-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios (manual contains the same, plus a recommendation to keep the default settings):

" Warning: Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction."

According to https://www.computerbase.de/artikel/grafikkarten/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-16-gb-test.92119/seite-8#abschnitt_leistungsaufnahme_gaming_die_lastspitzen it peaks at 201 W.

As others mentioned, the rest of the PC is important too, but there’s also differences in PSU quality. IIRC ATX 3.x requires them to actually be able to supply the nominal power continuously, with short spikes up to twice that. While older and cheaper PSUs often listed the peak output which they couldn’t sustain, that’s why a lot of power supply calculators recommend a much higher wattage than strictly necessary.

So, assuming a “65 W” AMD CPU which maxes out at 88 W plus the 200 W GPU plus a 50 W buffer for mainboard and drives etc., a good new 350 W PSU should run such a system (assuming you could actually buy one, the lowest ATX 3.x PSUs I’ve seen start at 450 W).

But to answer the question if you can continue to use your old PSU you a) need to know how much the rest of the system needs, mainly the CPU (which as others have mentioned can range from under 100 W to ~300 W), and b) the real power your PSU can supply which depends on its age and quality - maybe tell us the exact CPU and PSU in question.

Something like https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger to crop pages might work, or https://flathub.org/apps/net.sourceforge.Pdfedit (old and possibly insecure) for more options.

GNU parallel, to run commands on all cores, and for its filename pattern substitution.

For example: ls *.flac | parallel ffmpeg -i {} {.}.mp3 encodes a directory of FLAC files to MP3. parallel -a <(ls *.flac) -a <(ls *.mp3) --xapply copytags {1} {2} then copies each FLAC file’s metadata to the corresponding MP3 file (which ffmpeg already does, just to illustrate the --xapply option).

edit: copytags is https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/copytags if that’s useful for anyone.

People had throwed shit at it because of their own specific issues and its “slow” development pace without realizing it’s a titanic endeavour

I think most realize that it is a titanic endeavour and know that it might take years until their issues are solved, so they get angry when people are like “works for me, so everyone should use it now”. I’ve tried Wayland twice, each time it was deemed “ready” by someone, and each time something obvious was broken. x.org works and does what I want, so I’ll continue using that.

i was for the most part only heating a single room

Have you made sure that your other rooms are not getting moldy? Cold air can’t carry as much moisture so your walls, furniture, etc. might be getting damper than they should be.

They should have focused on the name change, to prove that there is a demand for “GIMP but with another name”. Everything else can be done in the main project or any fork, and that those don’t exist show that the manpower needed for that isn’t really available.

There was a separate project that changed the name to “Glimpse”, and then got too many other great ideas for the few people they had to actually get somewhere and it dissolved.
