    hey I just wanted to share that I moved to a small, remote-ish village in Greece about a year ago (born & raised in Athens, a “big” city for our standards, the biggest in Greece) and it’s quite close to that.

    It’s been amazing although I miss ordering food online and maybe the occasional bar/coffee with friends.

    It’s almost inside a forest and 15’ drive from both mountain and amazing beaches

    Thank you for listening, I honestly hope that everyone has the choice to do the same <3

    yeap steam is the best example of a service i’d very happily pay - I’ve paid LOTS to them and just last month, I downloaded “have a nice death” for yuzu, played 30", loved it and insta bought it on steam. It was 25 euros but having my saves forever and being able to single click install & play is something that I value more.

    you don’t get to get my money AND fuck me, pick one (netflix, youtube, etc.)







  • I’ve not looked into fire jail in depth but I’ve read lots and lots of bad takes on it

    What we need is docker with a better graphics integration, in terms of both ease of use and security. maybe wayland can help in that (cause with X you just forward the whole management socket and that’s it, anyone can draw anything)

    There’s a chance that snap has done it right (I know that everyone hates it but there’s a CHNACE that they got it right in terms of security and ease of use)

    flatpak “is not enough” since the controls it gives you are not enough. first you need flatseal to disable stuff per application and the defaults aren’t good enough and steam for example REQUIRES access to the whole home folder which defeats the whole purpose


  • what kind of privilege separation? you’re talking about containers/namespaces?

    cause as it is linux desktop has 1 unprivileged user and that’s it. from an attackers perspective privilege escalation is irrelevant - you have access to the screen, keyboard, browser, files. there really is nothing left to gain from gaining root

    and if you have any reason to gain root, it’s super easy by just replacing sudo with an alias in .bashrc you’ve got the user’s password

    We REALLY need sandboxing and soon, that’s why I want to give fedora silverblue a try but my hopes are quite low

    btw windows is in a bit of a better place and M1 mac is in much better place




  • I never got where the misconception of “*nix doesn’t have malware” came from. Maybe from the 2k era where “malware” was anything that was slowing down your PC (I also don’t get why a malware would slow down your PC, unless it’s a ransomware)?

    I remember the c99.php shell from way back which is an amazing example of cross-platform (PHP can run anywhere) “virus” and it was considered a golden standard (2010 era?)
