I'm writing a tutorial for very secured #communication. I think it can be useful in the near future. I have some thoughts about what #tools to use but want to hear your #experience. What tools would you use for communication if your life depends on the #security? For example if you want to sell 0day #exploits.
@Just Bob 🇺🇲♒🐧🪖 I have less an issue with a city telling me what I can do with their property (forgetting whose taxes BOUGHT that property) than them telling me what I can do with mine, which is an issue here in Shitline (Shoreline), WA.
My "issue" is because I don't live in a box like others, pay extreme hi "bills" to multiple corporations, I don't have a right to life so they do everything they can to murder me.
I swore to defend the US Constitution against foreign and DOMESTIC terrorists. The US Constitution gives me the right to be in public spaces... Are you saying that your okay with them stealing shit (4th Amendment) that literally keeps me from freezing to death?

Wine is basically an almost complete reimplementation of multiple Windows APIs in a format that Linux can understand. So you're not running a virtual machine, or emulating the system, you HAVE a whole windows environment, except it's not developed by Microsoft, and you don't need a copy of windows to use it.
Wine creates a fake C drive inside your home directory, in the .wine hidden folder, and stores everything here.
Do note that Wine does NOT protect you from viruses. Ransomware and other weird malware can still access your fake C drive, and sometimes even the regular folders in your /home directory on Linux, so don't use it to try some weird stuff you downloaded off the internet, cause it's still not safe.
Bottles is a graphical user interface that sits on top of Wine. It lets you handle each program in its own "Bottle", a bottle being a wine prefix, with different rules, dependencies, libraries, and settings, so each app can run optimally without risking breaking the other ones you're using. It also lets you use Proton to run games that aren't available on Steam, for example, or if you have boxed copies of various games.
The first step to install anything will be to create a bottle to run the application in. The "+" button lets you do that, and you'll get a nice graphical window to let you pick between a Gaming focused bottle, which will have a lot of tweaks specifically for running games, an Application Bottle, with improvements for running desktop apps, or a custom one that has no specific tweaks, so you can experiment yourself. Just select the appropriate Bottle type, enter its name, and click the "Create" button that appeared in the top right corner.
Once the Bottle is created, you can either straight up select an executable you'd have downloaded yourself, and run it, or you can go into more detail.
For now, Bottles only has a few installers that are mostly gaming related, but that list can expand, as anyone can contribute one of these, so I'd be surprised if we didn't see a lot of installers appearing pretty soon, especially for the most used windows apps.
These installers all have a rating, from platinum to bronze, letting you know how well the program will run, just like what you could find on protonDB. Platinum means it should run exactly as on Windows, and Bronze means it will run, but expect a few glitches here and there or some performance problems.
If your favorite program doesn't have an automatic installer script yet, you can configure your own Bottle manually. Just create a Custom Bottle, and head over the the details page.
Here, you'll find a ton of stuff you can configure or install.

00:00 Intro 00:40 Sponsor: Learn about kernel livepatching with this free webinar 01:45 Why social media sucks for news 04:04 What is RSS 04:55 Advantages of RSS 06:49 What can you add to your RSS reader 10:13 Choosing an RSS Reader 13:02 Use RSS, not Social media for your News 13:45 Sponsor: get a PC that runs Linux perfectly with Tuxedo 14:29 Support the channel
The big, main reason social media sucks for news is that they were never designed for that. All the big social media platforms have one goal, and one goal only: to keep you there for as long as they can, so they can show ads, and make more money.
On top of that, things you are subscribed to might also never be shown to you.
You can't really go back to older things, search through what you archived, sort it in a specific way, create your own organization system.
RSS works with 2 components: an RSS Feed Reader, and RSS Feeds. Feeds are what you'll subscribe to: they're just a simple file a lot of websites have, that can be read by the Feed Reader, which will aggregate all these feeds in one place. And RSS has TONS of advantages!
First, you'll only ever get what you subscribed to. There is no algorithm, no recommendations, no ads in between posts. And you can add a LOT of sources: websites, video channels, podcasts, social media accounts, and even newsletters.
Second, all feed readers have organization capabilities.
Third, you can sort things. Fourth, you can go back and search through older articles. Fifth, you can navigate super easily from one article to the other. And finally, it's portable: all readers will let you export and import your feed list.
RSS is all about adding sources, or feeds to your reader.
A lot of websites will display a small orange square icon, which is the RSS logo. Clicking the icon will bring you to the feed, or give you a URL you can copy. That's what you want to add to your feed reader.
But some websites don't have an RSS feed, or an icon to access it. No matter, most RSS feed readers will let you add any website URL, and automatically create an RSS feed for you.
If you want to add videos from a youtube channel, let's say a bearded french Linux content creator, most feed readers will also just let you copy paste the channel's URL and add it as a feed. On Peertube, it's even easier, just click the subscribe button, and you get the ability to access the feed.
You can even add social media posts if you really want to. Using rss.app, you can just copy paste a social media profile in there, and it will spit out an RSS feed you can add to your reader. And you can also add podcasts.
If you're really into RSS, you can also add newsletters. Using the website kill-the-newsletter.com, you can generate an email address and a feed.
The first thing you'll need to pick is obviously an RSS Reader.
If you want a single device solution, it's very easy. On Linux, Newsflash is the one I use. A few web browsers will give you access to an RSS Feed reader built-in, like Opera or Vivaldi, and Thunderbird also has the ability to do that.
If you want the simplest multi-device solution, Feedly is a good bet. You can create a free account, add up to 100 different feeds, create a few folders, and if you want to go over that, they have paid plans. They have mobile apps, and a web interface on PC.
There's also Newsblur, which does the same thing, and is open source, but the free version limits you to 64 feeds.
There are few doubts in the White House about Jill “Lady Macbeth” Biden’s role in covering up her husband’s cognitive deficits as she urged him to run for re-election.
A gift of friendship from the people of France to the United States "The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World" is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. It was dedicated by President Grover Cleveland on October 28, 1886.

Public Call for DarkMod Beta Testing, "The Last Night in Stonemarket"
After a long year of tinkering and slaving over a hot DarkRadiant, I'm finally ready to start public beta testing of my new Dark Mod Fan Mission, "The Last Night in Stonemarket":
It's is a much bigger and more ambitious map than my first outing, and I'm sure it's in desperate need of outside eyes to help find and quash bugs. I'm mainly coordinating beta testing over at forums.thedarkmod.com/ , but if anybody plays DarkMod and wants to do some testing "out of band" over here, please feel free. I'd be happy to respond to feedback here.

There were two big opportunities in 2021 to significantly damage the fascist agenda, without even addressing the (eventual, inevitable) need for structural reform. Long-term high-visibility impeachment hearings, or meaningful improvements to voting access.
> But even that is expected to fail because Manchin and > Sinema have said they are unwilling to change the rules on > a party-line vote by Democrats alone.
Ah, well, nevertheless...
Anybody with a lick of sense could see what was happening, and yet here we are.
Reading the article it's tempting to give Schumer credit for claiming he would try to force a talking filibuster. Or to credit Obama for backing Manchin's stupid little headfake, *just in case* it could work as a real play.
Don't bother. Maybe Schumer was sincere, maybe he wasn't. Schumer lies constantly and without remorse. Maybe Obama's approach was worth a shot, maybe it wasn't. Obama doesn't like to lie, but what he really hates is arguing.
None of that mattered. The fundamental non-recoverable error was treating Manchin and Sinema as if they were acting in good faith, when they so obviously weren't.
Funny how there's always plenty of carrot for the rotating villain, eh? Never even the hint of a stick.
It doesn't matter whether the failure of the John R. Lewis Voting Act was tragic stupidity or shocking evil or just plain old laziness. It should have been disqualifying. Except it was just one more thing in an endless stream of disqualifying failures of Dem leadership. Going at least back to 2002, arguably much earlier.
Point being, 2024 wasn't "when things went wrong." Neither was 2016, really. 2021 was when things went wrong. 2009 was when things went wrong. 2003 was when things went wrong.
It helps to take that into account when you're thinking about what needs fixing, and how to fix it.

The Pangolin looks like your standard 15 inch ultrabook. It's pretty thin, at 0.71 inches, or 1.8cm, and it weighs 1.79kilos, or almost 4 pounds. It's 16:9, with a 15.6 inches screen, and it's made of aluminium. The aluminium chassis is robust, with minimal deck flex around the hinge or the palm rests, and a bit more give in the middle of the keyboard.
And it's also pretty modular, you can open the laptop easily with 11 screws. Only the battery, wireless card and storage are accessible, the RAM seems soldered.
It comes with the Ryzen 7 6800U, an 8 core, 16 threads beast that goes up to 4.7 Gigahertz. It's paired with the integrated Radeon 680M. You also can only get it with 32 gigs of RAM. In terms of storage, you get a minimum of a 250Gig PCIE4 NVME SSD, and can go up to 16 TB.
It comes with WIfie 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
The display is 15.6 inches, and only 1080p. It's 144hz refresh rate, and has a 70 Wh battery.
So, on the left, you get the barrel charger, an HDMI 2.0 port, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 type A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 type C port that supports display port 1.4 and also support charging the device.
You also get a headphone jack, and, interestingly, a physical killswitch for the webcam complete with a little LED to let you know when the camera is off.
On the right, you have another type A USB 3.2GEN 2, a full size SD card reader, which is nice, a pop-out gigabit ethernet port, and that little kensington lock to keep your laptop attached to your desk.
The Ryzen 7 6800U is a pretty powerful CPU. On Geekbench 6, it got a single core score of 2002 and a multi core score of 8662.
In terms of graphics, the integrated Radeon 680M can deliver surprisingly good performance. Running the usual Shadow of the tomb raider benchmark, at the native 1080p and medium settings, it got 30 FPS. On low settings, it managed an average of 42 FPS.
As per thermals, at idle, the CPU ran at around 34 to 38 degrees Celsius, and under load, during gameplay, it never went past 91 degrees.
Now for the battery life, with the display at 144hz, in balanced mode, running youtube videos in a loop on Firefox, it lasted for 7 hours.
When putting it in battery saving mode, with the display running at 60hz, it lasted for 8 and a half hours.
The Pangolin comes with a chiclet style keyboard. It's backlit. It comes with a numpad, and it's nice to use. Key travel is good, the stroke is precise, and the keys are large and nice. It comes with a SUPER key, of course
As per the touchpad, it's a decent size, it's very smooth, and while it's not centered which always annoys me, it works really well with Pop OS's gestures, the click is solid and doesn't rattle at all and the sound is satisfying. The only issue is with the two button spaces at the bottom: they don’t react to tap to click, which can lead to some missed inputs.
The webcam is 720p, and it's just not good. It's super stuttery, it's still a potato cam. The microphone is above average.
As per the speakers, they get pretty loud, but at max volume, they'll definitely start vibrating the chassis and you'll hear that sort of rattly sound. Apart from that, they do have a bit of bass, and they don't sound too tinny. They're good enough, basically, but not at max volume.

To switch to a more comfortable interface, open any of the applications of the suite. Click on the "View" menu, then "User interface". By default, it's the standard menubar and toolbar combo, but if you click on "tabbed", you'll see that you can now use a ribbon interface, just like what Microsoft Office uses.
Next, we'll look at the icons. From the tabbed interface, click the main menu, in the top right corner, and select "Options". Then click the "View" menu, and in the "Theme" drop down menu, you'll have plenty of options.
You can also reorder any of the icons from any of the tabs of the ribbon. CLick the main menu again, and then "customize". Then click the "Notebookbar" tab. here, yu'll see the "target" dropdown menu that lets you select which tab you want to change.
To install Microsoft fonts, you generally have a package in your distro's repositories, provided you enabled the non free software ones. the package is generally called ttf-mscorefonts or ttf-mscorefonts installer. On Ubuntu or Ubuntu based distros, for example, open a terminal, and run
sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
If you're using an arch based distro, you can find it in your graphical package manager through the AUR. For Fedora, I left a link in the description of the video.
If you want to use these fonts by default, you can configure that as well. Click the main menu, then Options. Then, go to the name of the app you're using, here it's LibreOffice Writer, and select the "basic fonts" tab.
You'll want to enable all compatibility features. To do that, open the main menu, then Options. In the Load Save tab, click on Microsoft Office, and make sure all the checkboxes are ticked.
Next, in the LibreOffice Writer tab, and the Compatibility tab, tick the "Reorganize form menu to have it MS compatible" checkbox. Also tick the "Word compatible trailing blanks" checkmark.
Next, if you interact with MS Office users a lot, you'll want to send them documents using the Office formats. Click on the "general" tab of the Load / Save panel, and in "Always save as", select Word 2007-365 (docx). Then in the document type dropdown, select spreadsheet, and change the "always save as" field to Excel 2007-365 xlsx, and repeat that step for Presentations and the pptx format.
To import styles and templates, click the "File" tab in Writer, and then "Templates". There, click the "Manage" button, in the top right corner, and click "Import". There, you can select "templates", "presentations", or "styles".
LibreOffice lets you install extensions to add features to the suite. You can head over to extensions.libreoffice.org to view a full list.
To install extensions, download them from the extensions portal, and you'll get a .oxt file. Then, in LibreOffice, click the "Extensions" tab, then the "extensions" menu, and "Extension manager". Click the "Add" button, and go find your oxt file to import it.
After that, these extensions will all display their commands in the "Extensions" tab.

It's a full 10 key design, complete with numpad and media keys. It comes in a US qwerty layout by default, but you can basically do anything you want with that layout.
Dimensions: 39 centimeters, by 13.5 cm, and 2.8 cm in height. That's 15.5 inches by 5.32 inches, and one inch in height. It weighs 1.3 kilograms, or 2.8 pounds.
Your keys underneath tab are indented to the right, and everything from the Enter key is also indented to the left, with the arrow keys touching the shift key. The function keys are just Fn keys, you don't get any specific logos or pictograms on them for system functions. You also get 2 spacebar keys.
Anyway, this layout is just the base one: all keycaps are removeable, and you can completely remap the whole keyboard thanks to a configuration tool.
My review unit came with the Kailh Box Silent Pink switches, which I like. You can also get Kailh Box Jade, Royale, or Silent Brown switches.
The keyboard is wired through USB C, and it's also a USB hub, with 2 additional USB C ports, they're 3.2 gen 1, and 2 USB A ports, also 3.2 gen 1. The keyboard also has per key RGB, which you can adjust using the configuration utility.
Since it's a modular keyboard, you also get a bunch of stuff in the box. First, you have 2 USB C cables: one USB A to USB C, and one USB C to USB C. You also get a keycap remover tool, and a lot of additional keycaps.
In the box, you also get 2 small magnetically attached bars of aluminium, with rubber feet, that you can just slot in at the back of the keyboard, to raise it by a 15 degrees handle.
This keyboard doesn't reach its full potential unless you use the configuration tool. It's available in the Pop Shop for Pop OS users, or you can download it off their website as an appimage.
It's a super visual tool, with the full layout of your keyboard on display, and a list of actions you can map to each key. Click the key you want to change, then click the action it does.
You can configure the keyboard with 4 different layers, which all have their own set of actions per keys. And, more importantly, you can also have RGB settings per layer, and per key.
And the best thing is: once this is saved, it's saved to your keyboard: all your layers, layouts, key mappings and RGB settings, they're all saved on the board itself.
Another important thing to mention, is the fully open design of that keyboard. The chassis design is open source, you can download the CAD files and mill or 3D print your own. The PCB design is also fully open, you can access it on github, and so is the firmware, and the configuration tool.
All other Launch keyboards, the "regular" and the "Lite", have the same advantages: fully open design, access to the configurator tool, a choice of 4 different switch types, and additional keycaps in the box, with the keycap removing tool and the USB C cables.
Where they differ, of course, is in the number of keys. The Launch is a 10keyless design, so without the numpad, but apart from that, it has all the same great features, including the USB C and USB A ports. It doesn't get the additional super key with icons on it though, and it's raiser bar is a single piece, not 2 small ones.
As per the Lite, it's an ultra small design, with the numbrs row and the function row merged into one. It also, of course, dpoesn't have a numpad, but it has all the same accessories, additional keybcaps and cables, RGB, and access to the configuration tool, like its bigger siblings.
What it doesn't have, though, is the USB hub: it's just one USB C cable to plug it in, and that's it.
