(not really on topic) linux BTW discord server is utter chaos


this is gonna be a very very short story compared to what happened, just so you know. if you dont know, linux btw is a discord server that was created after the owner of the previous server, all things linux, did some questionable things 😭 it was all sunshine and rainbows UNTIL the owner (i think) started adding people under the "summer shrimpin role" and then it basically snowballed from there. they flexed their wealth and called people poor, started really controversial topics for seemingly no reason and much more that i cant remember right now 😔 so i left and joined a NEW server called i use linux btw (this isnt my server, i just joined it for the sake of joining a linux server with the same vibe)

this isnt really linux related but MAN i just wanted to rant about ts 🥀

The AI Hacking Scandal That Keeps On Giving...


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

OpenAI's rogue AI agent turned out to have hacked more than Hugging Face, and the more details come out, the less impressive it seems. Then Anthropic came forward with its own disclosure: three companies accessed during testing, two of which had no idea. Plus Iran-linked hackers burrowing into dozens of US water and energy systems, an activist facing a felony for wiping his GrapheneOS phone at the border with a duress password, and thousands of private Claude chats and Artifacts turning up indexed on Google. An AI-heavy week, with the usual data breaches, threats, and FOSS+ updates.

Is multi user nix safe?


I'm thinking of setting up multi user nix on a compute cluster.
The advantage would be to have a shared storage where common packages are reused, this is a great advantage compared to conda where every environment duplicates storage and inodes.

However, the packages are installed as root. As such I'm a bit wary of whether a user installing something could have the system run malware as root by installing a package.

What are the safeguards in place and how do I know I can trust them?

can I take the audio track from a video in one language and use it to replace the audio on a different file?


I'm trying to reduce the size of my video collection because I'm running out of storage.

My strategy is to look for smaller sized files to replace very large ones. When that fails, I am using handbrake to rencode. Its working, but very slowly due to my ancient computer. Redownloading is the much faster method.

Some titles, which were originally released as non-english, have existing small files, but the English audio is only available less commonly as a huge file.

Is it possible to redownload the non-english video and map the English audio onto it? It might be too much fooling around to get syncing correct.

Extra question, does anybody know how to set up sonarr/radarr to try to reduce filesize automatically? Ive been doing all the downloading by hand.

in reply to InnocentZero

It's a mix of --codec copy to not reencode the streams, --map 0:1 to select the audio stream of the input file and for merging back you need multiple -i input files and then --map 0:0 to map the first input file's video stream and --map 1 to map the second input file (English audio stream). Mappings may vary - use ffprobe to check your files.

Linux desktop use spikes to over 10% in North America for the first time. There is also a corresponding drop in Windows and OSX use.

Cloudflare stats also seem to support peaks of 15% usage but around 9-10% on average. In the United States alone, the market share for Linux is nearly 12% now for the whole month and Cloudflare stats suggest peaks of up to 25% (!) Linux desktop usage on certain days and times.

The trendline suggests this is just the start. When will companies realize they cannot ignore Linux anymore?
