It’s running Fedora Atomic and my desktop is also running Fedora Atomic.

Then why are you using Samba? It’s primarily for Windows. Use nfs or sshfs. Or if you’re running a media server, you could run an additional file management service like filebrowser.

Security updates are provided by each package maintainer and released on their own schedule. Microsoft releases updates monthly on Patch Tuesday, unless there’s a severe vulnerability that can’t wait. But since Linux is a bunch of different packages rolled into a distro, there’s no one authority managing updates.

So, this means you might get them faster, or if a maintainer is not engaged, slower. Or, if a package is abandoned, not at all. Distros generally make sure their provided packages are maintained, but updates to third-party packages are not guaranteed.

You’re going to need to be more specific. There are dozens of aspects of security.

But if you want to have the most secure machine, then never turn it on, encase it in lead, and drop it at the bottom of the ocean.

Revenue, not profit. Even if they make a net loss they’d will be sharing the money.

I’m more concerned about the individual and independent creators. How will they be compensated for the use of their work?

Maybe something immutable, then. Solid updates, easy rollback.

What do you do when Windows crashes and you’re not there?

I’ve had several things break in the process of getting Mint installed and updated on this machine

Like what? That doesn’t inspire confidence in the PC itself.

If your password is set this year, and suddenly the clock says it’s 2018, then yes your password was set in the future, at least as far as the computer believes.

Not just you, that’s a pretty common principle.

Does this mean they’ll finally stop giving the fucking mobile site on desktop just because someone couldn’t edit out the “m.” from the link?

Strange. Memtest? I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head, unless you sit up and watch it.

Does it have a system log in the BIOS? What’s the battery like, present and healthy or dead/removed? Fans working, not overheating? Does it die if you stress test the CPU/GPU/memory?

Define “crashing”

Nova launcher has been dead since it was sold to an ad company three years ago.

And it does not mean the data is encrypted at rest.

Companies whose primary product isn’t security are shit at security. What else is new?

So not hashed, and readable through whatever API accesses it anyway.

Bruh it literally happened this afternoon, chill.

Also, the direct link is more readable: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/on-discourse-rules-about-politics/66986 The archive page strips some of the formatting.

Neither. It’s an aspect of identity, like enjoying spicy food.

Seems like a pretty shitty report in the first place, so that seems fair.

That doesn’t make sense. The only change to the comment was to remove part of their statement of identity.
