Not just that the bug they reported only affects some obscure LucasArt codec which isn’t even included in the build by default. Plus I’m pretty sure Google heavily uses ffmpeg for YouTube.

There’s a hell below Emacs called neovim I’m going there.

VLC???

Running dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda this protects your data \s

I hate to agree with you but I can’t deny the reality. Even with what FSF is trying it’ll be really hard for Linux phones to break into current market…

Gentoo

Thank you everyone for sharing exactly where you keep your valuables. Now I’m gone dox you fly to wherever you live and do pick pocketing.

Yes my Linux journey started with nethunter 10+ years ago on a 4.8inch phone. I solved overthewire bandit on that nethunter and a few very very easy htb boxes.

RTFM!!!

How do you know?

I see you already got the answer. But if you are new to Linux I’d suggest to play overtwire bandit. This will significantly improve your Linux command knowledge.

2TiB ram is good enough if you are running ZFS but just make sure it has ECC.

OK make a graph of swear words used by Linus and all others against Linus’s age. I’ve a theory.

I’ve been using custom ROMs since Cyanogen Mod 14. I know. But still the share of google spyware is high.

There are only 2 types of people. Who hate systemd and those who don’t know what systemd is. \s

Wasn’t it always the year of Linux phones like Android has huge share of market and it is running Linux kernel but with Google spyware. Now it’s just Apple Spyware.

From technical point of view it is possible. eBPF already has almost everything needed for doing that. And I think it can be done with a simple LKM but if they want it included in the main tree I’m sure they’ll get some colorful email from Linus.

OK there are 2 completely opposite thoughts on shredding SSDs

1. All SSDs have a trim functionality so any unused data gets set to 0 automatically by the os or in some cases by ssd controller

2. Even if trim sets it to zero there is always some deviation from the original zero and a very very sophisticated attacker can find the actual data. And simply using shred or /dev/zero doesn’t help because SSD controller always writes to different physical location even for same file. And the only real way to ensure data can’t be recovered is to smash it

Pick and choose depending on your threat model. If you’re just selling it to someone or you know that no nation state actors are after your data then just do normal delete and then do the trim. If you think someone with capabilities is after your data and that they are willing to spend few hundred thousand dollars or even few million for whatever data is in your SSD then just microwave it and then smash with hammer. No need to shred or zero.

You might wanna rephrase that or some feds are gonna have a field day.
