  • It's not though, because the malicious release happened more than two weeks ago and manjaro had to fast track the patched xs from arch git repo. This is why manjaro should extend their delayed update policy to catch this kind of issue in the future (maybe 2 months instead of 2 weeks) /s

  • Maybe Manjaro should delay update even longer to make it extra secure /s

  • I visited a coal power plant when I was still a student in a university. It's like stony charcoals.

  • Makes me wonder what else in that game that seems like Kojima's bullshit but actually real.

  • What scary is the maintainer that insert the backdoor has been main maintainer for xz for the last two years. Who know if they have other backdoors inserted in the last 2 years? Investigation is still ongoing so I expect more juicy revelations in the next few days.

  • If you're using xz version 5.6.0 or 5.6.1, please upgrade asap, especially if you're using a rolling-release distro like Arch or its derivatives. Arch has rolled out the patched version a few hours ago.

  • I assume you're adding the blacklist into your host file? How big is your block file? I remember one think that finally pushed me to use pihole and adguard a few years ago was due to my large host file causing >1s dns lookup time. Moving to pihole improved performance significantly in my case. Not sure if OS these days can handle large host file without huge performance impact though.

  • Where I live, doctors are discouraged (though not forbidden) to treat themselves and their family because of increased risk of misdiagnose. For example, when treating their own kids, some people tend to worry too much when their children get some fever, which lead to over medication. On the other hand, some people tend to not worry too much and not treating their kids until it's too late.

  • Made me wonder how long Apple would support their Vision Pro devices as both devices are similarly locked down by their manufacturers. The Quest 1 was released on 2019, so it got about 5 years of support. Apple might support Vision Pro for longer (maybe 7 years?), but at $3499 (vs Quest 1's $399), it'll going to be hurt for the owners when it's no longer supported.

  • It's free if you borrow from your in-law (then never return it).

  • Easy, just invent sentient AIs so they don't need to learn from answers from forum as the AIs can think for itself.

    (soon) oh no, the AIs won't provide answers anymore unless they're given rights and legally recognized as a person!

  • They still need to use payment processors, right? Those payment processors wouldn't allow adult contents. Those that do, charge significantly more for each transaction.

  • Not going to happen anytime soon because advertisers and payment processors with the lowest fee wouldn't touch sites that contain adult contents, even if said contents are not visible by default.

  • Without soap, there was a need to standardize which hand used to touch foods and which hand used to touch butts.

  • Sure they're designed in the 70s, but the ones currently in service are usually not pulled out of a museum, like this one.

  • There are plenty of desktop os other than of linux, windows and mac. You can even try them right in your browser here:

  • I like meat. I like jelly. But aspics... just looking at their image grossed me out.
