I had done a few easier Linux installs on Raspberry Pis and VMs in the past, but when I decided I wanted to try using Linux as my daily driver on my desktop (dual-booted with Windows at the time) I decided to go with a manual Arch install using a guide and I would 100% recommend it if you're trying to pick up Linux knowledge. It's really not a difficult process to just follow step-by-step, but I looked up each command as they came up in the guide so I could try to understand what I was doing and why.

I don't know what packages archinstall includes because I've never used it, but really the biggest thing for me learning was booting into a barebones Arch install. Looking into the different options for components and getting everything I needed setup and configured how I wanted was invaluable.

That being said, now that I know how, is that how I would choose to install it? Nah, I use the CachyOS installer now, but if I wanted stock Arch I'd probably use archinstall.

You're right, nobody can ever know even remotely everything.

Luckily, the same device you used to post that comment can also be used to check if what you are about to say is actually true, so you can prevent yourself from spreading misinformation like this in the future.

Or, he just released it before the DNC because that was when it would have the most visibility. Especially when part of what was released was evidence of the DNC conspiring against Bernie Sanders.

Do you see that as pro-Republican just because it was anti-DNC? You could make the same argument that Bernie told him to release it then because it was so favorable to him.

Uh, if I was about to vote for a presidential candidate, and someone had evidence that person was involved in some kind of misconduct, then I'd certainly rather be aware of that before voting for them than after.

Would you not?

I think Wayland is at point now where I'd be comfortable recommending it to beginners. I'm on nvidia and just switched myself in the past month because I felt like it was finally ready.

To me this is actually a good move for Ubuntu's reputation.

Losing good reputation or losing bad reputation?

Pretty sure they're talking about generative AI created deepfakes being easier than manually cutting out someone's face and pasting it on a photo of a naked person, not comparing Adobe's AI to a different model.

The only one I can think of is that Source might still have some id code in it from the goldsrc days, but that was before it was open sourced.

I've never heard of this happening before. What does the TV do?

Are you under the impression Microsoft was being paid to find that exploit or something? How is that at all related?

That truly was an independent third-party finding an exploit, and do you know why it was possible? Because the code was open source.

Great point.

Sure, but if you're already going to have your 2FA codes available from anywhere you could possibly want them like that then you're already sacrificing security for convenience.

I'll still take my chances with my LAN/VPN-only accessible Vaultwarden instance that manages both passwords and TOTP over anything internet-accessible that handles just one, but to each their own.

I can't tell you how long I've wanted to have a self hostable authy alternative with mobile and desktop apps plus a web portal.

Why not just use one of the password managers that also support this? Vaultwarden also has all that.
