Huge mistake from Tor developers:
The privacy slider has had no effect without restarting the browser for almost a year after disclosure, leading to a false sense of security, and potentially huge consequences for at-risk people relying on it.
Their proposed solution? Remove the sliderā¦
The slider was a stupid idea. Tor stays secure because of a strict set of setting that arenāt suppose to be changed. Then in a shear stupid move they all the privacy level to be changed.
Wasnāt set to safest from the start though?
All over Europe, individual countries are constantly pushing for chat control, etc. This will only stop when it is implemented across the board. Of course, only because of terrorism and the safety of poor children (do they also mean the children in poor countries who dig raw materials out of the ground with their bare hands? Who knowsā¦)
As far as I can tell, thatās been debated for ~4 years
\ Set Safer as the default security level [desktop] (#40087) Ā· Issues Ā· The Tor Project / Applications / Tor Browser Ā· GitLab
\ Set Safer as the default security level [android] (#41170) Ā· Issues Ā· The Tor Project / Applications / Tor Browser Ā· GitLab
My concern is a setting that requires a restart lying about its status rather than the default state.
Itās been known for quite some time that the 3 letter spy agencies pay code monkeys to insinuate themselves within the Tor project to undermine its security features.
If Linus Torvalds suddenly starts hanging out with Elon Musk and flying about the world in his own private jet we can safely assume he finally accepted the payoffs from these clandestine three letter organizations to introduce backdoorss into the Linux kernel.
Itās not exactly a well kept secret that many countries secret services are trying to worm their way into any project that that tries to prevent the surveillance state from having 24/7 access to everyoneās digital info.
Might be best to purge everything of theirs from anything arch related as well.
But unfortunately, Iām just not surprised considering how their software manager used to act and call home
When taking the geometric mean of all the file-systems tested, XFS was by far the fastest with this testing on Linux 6.15 and using a Crucial T705 NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD. With each file-system at its defaults, XFS was 20% faster than F2FS as the next fastest file-system. EXT4 and Btrfs meanwhile were tied for third. Bcachefs out-of-the-box on this PCIe 5 SSD was in a distant last place on Linux 6.15 Git.
Of course, there are more factors to consider when choosing a Linux file-system besides just the raw performanceā¦ Features and data integrity/safety and overall file-system maturity being among the other key areas.
This includes hitting a notable milestone that some websites like Gmail and Google Chat can now render correctly.
The advisory lists the following EoL Linksys and Cisco models as common targets:
Linksys E1200, E2500, E1000, E4200, E1500, E300, E3200, E1550
Linksys WRT320N, WRT310N, WRT610N
Cradlepoint E100
Cisco M10
SUSEās findings suggest poor quality code, thrown together with insufficient concern for system security. Issues with quality control are well known, which is part of the reason that, remarkably, China only developed the tooling to make ballpoint pens as recently as 2017. Additionally, of course, thereās less reason to rigorously secure your OS if your government may compel you to install spyware in them anyway.
What about ZFS or rather OpenZFS? In my uninformed opinion, shouldnāt they have also put OpenZFS? Maybe not tested enough yet?
I think I finally understand why some piracy websites have existed for so long, or take a long time to actually take down.
This is a bit of a longer read but it honestly makes you sad.
Do take note here. While they are nice, they make things seem like you can only open with x or close when opening a file.
here is my 2 cents after reading his blog post:
Linux isnāt about avoiding challengesāitās about thriving on them. The real reward comes from solving problems and learning along the way. And if you prefer a Windows environment, configuring a Windows 11 VM with dedicated resources can offer near-native performance, making the āLinux is too muchā argument less compelling. āwithout getting on privacy/security partā
nothing is perfect, its just about how you can use it and how you use it.
This is as well important, currently RT performance even on 9070XT under linux is ass. Its not even worth to turn it on. But I am glad to see they actually didnt forget about it and are working on improving it 
Impressive but expensive
SanDisk WD Black SN8100 2TB SSD Review - Approaching Optane
Powered by a customized Silicon Motion SM2508 controller, SanDiskās first PCIe Gen5 SSD is so powerful that it is approaching Optane P5800X levels.
I know its bit too late butā¦ a milestone!
Obviously itās not enough to be dependent on G
