biribiri11 , to linux in Immutable distros and dot files / config files

To add onto this, if you really wanted to rebase and don’t want config file clashes, you can use ostree config-diff after rebasing to show what config files changed. You can also simply remove all the files in /etc, and on the next boot, ostree will re-populate it with the contents of /usr/etc in a three way merge. Just be sure to copy, at bare minimum, /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, and /etc/fstab otherwise it’ll be very awkward when you try to boot again and your boot process fails because it doesn’t automatically mount your disks and you can’t login because you have no users. It’s kinda cool tho, that, at least for this very specific issue, those 3 files might not be needed if/when systemd-homed’s JSON User Records and Discoverable Partitions see wider adoption.

(Note: this is dumb and error prone, and you should absolutely do what the other commenter said)

Ragdoll_X , (edited ) to technology in BitTorrent is No Longer the ‘King’ of Upstream Internet Traffic
@Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world avatar

In early 2019 bittorrent’s website views fluctuated between ~6M to ~9M. Now it’s around 3M to 4M.

In early 2019 utorrent’s visits fluctuated between ~26M to ~75M. Now it sits around 25M to 21M.

The fact that there were far more captures in early 2019 for both of them might be an indication that this was their peak, and while visits have reduced since then they’re far from dying.

Streaming services may be part of the reason, though I also think it’s because many games and software have switched to freemium & microtransactions so spending money is optional, along with the fact that free and open source alternatives to mainstream software have become more robust and popular. When I was a kid I torrented Sony Vegas, but now that’s simply not necessary since we have DaVinci Resolve.

Be civil.

The vast majority of coverage is local sources, with a single line in a Reuters daily report. Says so in your article.

Your source may have a good ranking on MBFC but it is not a mainstream source in terms of readership. Looks like its somewhere in the 500-1000 range of US news sources.

Not to denigrate the tragedy. There are eight dead from inside a pediatric oncology department.

wols , (edited ) to technology in 1Password discloses security incident linked to Okta breach

The main difference is that 1Password requires two pieces of information for decrypting your passwords while Bitwarden requires only one.

Requiring an additional secret in the form of a decryption key has both upsides and downsides:

  • if someone somehow gets access to your master password, they won’t be able to decrypt your passwords unless they also got access to your secret key (or one of your trusted devices)

  • a weak master password doesn’t automatically make you vulnerable

  • if you lose access to your secret key, your passwords are not recoverable

  • additional effort to properly secure your key

So whether you want both or only password protection is a trade-off between the additional protection the key offers and the increased complexity of adequately securing it.

Your proposed scenarios of the master password being brute forced or the servers being hacked and your master password acquired when using Bitwarden are misleading.

Brute forcing the master password is not feasible, unless it is weak (too short, common, or part of a breach). By default, Bitwarden protects against brute force attacks on the password itself using PBKDF2 with 600k iterations. Brute forcing AES-256 (to get into the vault without finding the master password) is not possible according to current knowledge.

Your master password cannot be “acquired” if the Bitwarden servers are hacked.
They store the (encrypted) symmetric key used to decrypt your vault as well as your vault (where all your passwords are stored), AES256-encrypted using said symmetric key.
This symmetric key is itself AES256-encrypted using your master password (this is a simplification) before being sent to their servers.
Neither your master password nor the symmetric key used to decrypt your password vault is recoverable from Bitwarden servers by anyone who doesn’t know your master password and by extension neither are the passwords stored in your encrypted vault.

See bitwarden.com/…/bitwarden-security-white-paper/#o… for details.

mvirts , to nostupidquestions in If gas is lighter than air, do we get heavier when we fart?

I don’t think so, but it is definitely possible. We have incredibly precise measuring devices, and although it would be complicated by all the other things our bodies do it may be possible to measure.

I used this calculator with density of 1.225 for air and 375ml for the volume of a large fart and it reports a force of about .0045 N. This is about .45 grams, which is about .001 lbs, which is what this company claims their sensitivity is… So since the boyant force excludes the gravitational force on the fart itself the measured force would be much smaller. you would need a scale much more sensitive to measure it. If you farted pure methane the force would be about half. A good measurement should probably have about 10 times the accuracy (.045 grams). Since you can buy a scale for a couple thousand dollars that almost gets there I’m going to guess that this would be measurable, but there may be some hidden gotcha I’m not aware of.
