What desktop enviroment do you use and why?
  • You can run i3 inside XFCE on a per user basis, but convincing my wife/kids to swap users when they need the computer for "just a second"...

    I just take the win that they are on Linux and use a shared account.

  • Password length requirement
  • Hashing is more about obscuring the password if the database gets compromised. I guess they could send 2^256 or 2^512 passwords guesses, but at that point you probably have bigger issues.

  • Password length requirement
  • It doesn't matter the input size, it hashes down to the same length. It does increase the CPU time, but not the storage space. If the hashing is done on the client side (pre-transmission), then the server has no extra cost.

    For example, the hash of a Linux ISO isn't 10 pages long. If you SHA-256 something, it always results in 256 bits of output.

    On the other hand, base 64-ing something does get longer as the input grows.

  • GNOME 47 Can Now Be Built With X11 Support Disabled
  • XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

    1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn't have Wayland yet
    2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn't work
    3. I don't change my setups that much, so I haven't tried it since
    4. I don't need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
    5. Wayland drama

    That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

  • Choice posting
  • 'Discouraging the act of male masturbation quickly became a “major reason why doctors, educationists and childcare experts sought to introduce widespread circumcision.”'

    This was the 1800s, and then after it was more of "this is just what we do now".

  • As the Elden Ring DLC beats the snot out of players, Hidetaka Miyazaki says toning difficulty down would "break the game itself"
  • To follow on to this, the "best" build may not be the best for you and how you play. Try out various things to see what feels right to you. Sword and board, magic, gish, dual wield, big two hander, bigger two hander, etc. All of them are viable to beat the game, so find the one you like the most/is easiest for you.

    How is Shepherd?

    I am thinking about moving to Guix, and was wondering what you all think of Shepherd?

    What are things you like? What are its shortcomings? Any cool or weird things you wish you knew before using it?

    For context, I am currently using Runnit.
