Any security configuration advisable after install? (slrpnk.net)
 

Are there any security things I should set up or configure after installing Trixie for normal desktop use?

I would assume that Debian ship it in good shape out of the box. Or should I look at things like firewall and apparmor?

I wonder how many people travelled end-to-end between the two. It would have been an incredible journey back then.

What is Intel Microcode anyway? Been bugging me for ages seeing it reported for violating vrms.

Syncthing 2.0 Launches With Major Database Overhaul in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] oeuf@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think the original wasn't getting maintained properly or something. There was a big conversation about it a couple of months ago on one of the open source communities here if you want to search for it. Nothing shady iirc.

Overheated homes: why UK housing is dangerously unprepared for impact of climate crisis in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] oeuf@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

Man it's not even just housing - pretty much everything that's already teetering on the edge like water, transport, NHS, the National Grid, agriculture etc. is going to get clobbered. Bad timing for the UK.

UK taxpayers on hook as failed Cumbria coalmine investors sue government in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] oeuf@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

I agree. I think the government will pay out though, because they are so wedded to the idea of private investment and want to get patted on the head by the City.

The one thing that would turn around Labour's abysmal polling is to grow a pair and stop bending over for capital and tyrants. They won't do it though. Sad times for the nation.

It's great. It's the most "just works" experience I've had with Linux.

SOLVED Where to get .iso checksums? (slrpnk.net)

I've downloaded an iso for trixie but I can't see any checksums for it on the website. The 'Verifying Authenticity' page makes it sound like the download should include something but all I got was the .iso file.

How do verify it?

Thanks

I love this

Allotments are vanishing when the UK urgently needs more of them in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] oeuf@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 days ago

I think everyone should have access to their own garden or allotment. Allotments have an added social side which is great.

'Wipe' SSD before reinstalling Linux? (slrpnk.net)
 

Are there any benefits, in terms of performance or security in 'wiping' or overwriting an SSD before reinstalling Linux? And if so, what is the best way of doing it?

I'm planning on doing a clean install of Debian 13 on my laptop soon.

I'm currently on Fedora and using encryption and will be using encryption on Debian too. I do not have a separate home partition.

Thanks :)

Running a business/working in 2025 (slrpnk.net)
 

How do I make money - self-employed - without using corporate social media?

I was coasting along on an extremely minimal income and I embraced an ethical position of using only privacy-compatible technology.

I subsequently had a wonderful little person come into my life who has made me want to have more material capability & flexilibilty. And so I have turned to trying to sell my skills again.

By refusing to use to use corporate social media to promote my services, I am handicapping myself in getting work.

I also struggle to bring myself to cooperate with powers which are working to undermine my child's opportunity to have a good life.

Would appreciate your thoughts
