I’d be looking up otherplaces if given the chance… 😅

…and a stranger.

I am this stranger. 😅

I actually assumed there was a new asian band called Chinese Persons Unlimited or something… 😅

I just use *.loc.al as a local dns entry in my own server with local addresses using devicename.loc.al and loc.al itself going to my gateway/routerpage. 😅

There’s a button to exit vim on your pc. Just hold it 7 seconds and vim is closed. 😅

I’ve always used Veracrypt since I discovered its existence.

Nice inconspicuous encrypted loop-files you can mount manually when needed (or automount at boot, but that already makes them a lot less safe) and backup to any cloud safely, as without the password they are useless.

Yeah, as said in another comment too: That’s very likely VLC’s post-processing. It doesn’t look bad on your Kodi, VLC just enhances it as it plays while Kodi actually just shows you the real quality. 😅

I use Kodi too as part of a whole automation setup (so I can use it like a free Netflix that only adds anything I watch while I only need to add filters once per series) and I have gotten used to it now as it doesn’t bother me anymore, but in the beginning I do remember noticing it more too, thus having to make that hard choice for the ease of automation over post-processing. 😅

Kodi is worth it on my Android box, though, as VLC’s magic doesn’t seem to be so effective on Android(TV)… 😜

You’d be surprised… 😂

Sorry, not taking part in that nonsensical logic.

Maybe open a dictionary and look up the word Sexist,… Sexual is not the same thing. 😜 You do realize how the human race reproduces right?

Anyway, the pics are by an artist I know, especially made for this. And I couldn’t care less about “woke” Karen comments. 😅

No offense though, but it just shows no style to keep doing this, and certainly holds no ground with me. 😜

If you feel like breaking down other people’s achievements for unrelated issues you have, please stay off the internet. It’s dangerous out here. 😅

Have a great day!

You shouldn’t… You should also not be on the internet with that temper against strangers with different opinions…

You do know it’s full of those, right?

Either way, I did not advocate for any such a thing. I’m only saying that the way to deal with a problem is by taking on the cause, not the results… Results will keep coming if the cause remains.

Go stick your effort into getting rid of CSAM’s creation. That way there’s no more children harmed instead of you just making yourself feel better cause you attacked someone on the internet that wouldn’t hurt anyone, but you just preassumed did cause he thinks differently on the subject. I’m not even a CSAM interested person. I hate children getting hurt as much as the next guy. I just wish we worked on a solution instead of bandaids.

And I’m just not taking part in the bandaid part. 🤷‍♂️

This comment could answer your previous… 😅 You’re not even being consistent in your attacks that have no base.

I certainly did not advocate to enable child abuse anywhere. I just advocated against going after the wrong people and outing frustrations on the ones that didn’t do it. Just like you are proving to do now with me… 🤷‍♂️

Why are you so offensively upset on a comment that did not say what you put into it as retaliation. Literally changing my point to be able to attack me with it. 😅

Like I said. Keep your anger for people actually doing wrong, not on the ones that merely think differently than the exact way you do.

Also if somebody films a murder, do we punish everybody that wants to see the video? No.

Then why are we punishing people that just watch it while not solving anything on those making them? 🤷‍♂️

Logic is a thing people apparently give up for authority. Not me though. Someone that wants to watch CSAM is not your business, just like it isn’t if they watch murder, space stuff of baby cats… (And no, I don’t think they are the same. Taking that from this would just be not wanting to think logic to make another inconsistent counter-attack, so please, don’t.)

The harm with CSAM is already done and you’re taking it out on the wrong persons with help of even worse people, wasting time on targets for what they might do instead of using it on people who actually did/do the bad things creating them.

Good job… Meanwhile I’ll continue to focus on people that actually did something wrong…

I agree, yet privacy is still more important than people watching media they didn’t make. I advocate any and all people making those should be our target, not senselessly give up rights so we can punish those that didn’t hurt anyone. And I just don’t believe in the current legal system and allowing people that unpunished do attrocities to deal with other people doing them does not form an ok with me. 🤷‍♂️

You are literally going to idiots that don’t solve the problem and are proven to do similar bad things themselves, who are using offense towards the people so attention diverts away from them, and you are arguing to ‘me’ that I don’t want to do the same stupidity…? 🤷‍♂️

Go take a better look at your own actions, dude…

Yeah, well, as you said: it’s probably fixed by now, but I used to have a universal su that would work on any armv7 linux (so basically every phone back then, but also on my armv7 little laptop I had at the time…) with which I was able to easily root any phone by putting it in /data/local and making it bootable, then using full path to move any Android root files in place (though I did also just copy that su itself to /system/bin for root on cheaper phones sometimes, which is just playing with fire as it basically makes any root action unseen and allowed. 😂). That did work for years though, but that’s probably cause Android minimizes the linux and never actually updated the kernel so much, and the laptop’s flashed OS was something altered with also very little updates. And ARM was still quite new to the public too. 🤷‍♂️

I remember I came across it in the rooting package for my Kindle Fire and only found out it could do that by accident,… 😅 It couldn’t change user, though, it had only 1 use without parameters, which resulted as if you do a ‘sudo su’ if you remove the sudo password-requirement.

Hence why I used the example. I wasn’t being limitative to it, though. There’s so many things that could screw you if it has a vulnerability, if it happens I very much doubt it’ll be through nano, though.

Any attack is usually non-intended vulnarabilities. Same argument applies to any software, like nano, if it can open doors to your system.

I appreciate all the answers on what started out to mostly be a joke (the first comment, I’m not saying the rest was, I actually do mean my follow-up discussions and am enjoying them more than I should). 😅

Anyway, first I must disagree with sudo being useless in a single-user environment since some services have non-user (nologin) accounts as which you still need to run things sometimes, so sudo is commonly useful in single-user environments (though you could technically go set bash for those, I suppose.)

But yeah, I’m already used to “bad practices” as I have been using linux for 24 years now (when it still was it’s predecessor ‘pico’ 😅) (I said over ‘10’ years in an earlier comment, but I just realized I’m 40 and still calculated from 30. 😂 Wishful thinking. 😅) in what is assumed a bad practice, not only without any problems, but even because it never gave me problems.

Might be an age thing too, but I hold on to ease of use over best-practice, especially if it hasn’t failed me in two decades and a half. I think it would take an actual attack on me abusing this behavior for me to stop doing it by now… And even then, I installed linux so many times in my life, even that seems more musclememory and not such a hassle anymore… 😅 At least I could make use of my backup system for once then… 😅

You assume this malicious code is lame enough not to gain root itself with a modified su.

Indeed… Hence why I use ‘sudo nano’. 😜

Wouldn’t that logic count for anything, including sudo itself?

But, in that example:

If I’m the admin it doesn’t matter I use it.

If I’m not it’s not my problem that I could get more privileges than allowed. I’d probably even use the possibility then. 😅

So it poses a risk if you allow none-admin users to do that on your system, but I still don’t see why I must choose to not use nano as root myself. 😅

Anyway, good practice to me is ease-of-use instead of with 7 protections against things that rarely happen.

Like, I’m pretty sure you are better protected from burglars if you also lock all doors inside your house, but I’m definitely not doing that either. 😅

Edit: Also, if you have users on your system, just chroot/vroot/lxc them, so they be free to ‘sudo nano’ too… 😅
