    True… except maybe

    places with lots of snow; no reliable snow plowing

    People have dag tunnels under snow whenever tall enough. And then they just walk. People usually use Kamchatka, Russia as an example of that, but it happens in other areas as well. Well, that’s the extreme; normally once again people just walk on top. If you are careful enough, you can avoid getting snow in your shoes even when stepping on loose snow. Most of the time you don’t even have to deal with that because (at least where I live) people just silently all agree to shovel out snow on sidewalks they own. On city/company/nobody owned property, “desire paths” of sorts appear rather quickly. Personally saw lots of cyclists on snow, and actually much less cars for obvious reasons.

    Well, all of that assuming you are not in north america lul






  • Noooo, don’t look at the bad, look at the good. We have this place and Gemini (the good one) to express ourselves.

    And besides, the title in this repost is a bit sensational. That specific captcha needs a phone with the Google app. You can just delete data + refresh until you get a different one. Nothing about specifically degoogled phones, people without phones are affected just as much. I am sure MicroG would work just as well (if not now, at least later). Also, ideally you should click the fuck away from recaptcha sites either way. Paradoxically, Google’s own sites don’t have it usually except the search but nobody needs that (at least anyone you would ask on here), DuckDuckGo + StartPage (OR SearXNG) is good enough.





  • If there’s no ForceCommand (I think that’s what it was called?) in sshd.conf and no command=x in .authorized_keys (if any), you can probably use mosh. It spins up SSH to authenticate and then immediately start a UDP based connection afterwards. Instead of logging out every 15 minutes, you will get a “Last contacted X seconds ago” overlayed every minute, that’s sure an improvement. Do note, however, that it keeps your shell running with no way to reattach to it if your machine turns off.






  • Most compromised routers scrape the hostname (both regular and mDNS) and MAC address. What you do is disable mDNS related daemons like kdeconnect and avahi (until you want them) and put this in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

    [main]
    hostname-mode=none
    
    [device]
    wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=yes
    
    [connection]
    ethernet.cloned-mac-address=random
    wifi.cloned-mac-address=random
    connection.mdns=0
    connection.llmnr=0
    

    (yes, the mdns bit above is a bit redundant, but systemd has something related that might read it and better be safe than sorry)

    This won’t protect you if the router is a bit smarter and can see your NTP server (usually like “x.archlinux.pool.ntp.org” instead of just “x.pool.ntp.org”), your connectivity check (same as NTP) and other servers your machine connects to (like Tor nodes if you have the daemon running and oftc.net if you have an IRC client). The good news is that none are known to check that (at least to me).



  • fs, scheduler

    So performance? Idk, I zone out or go get a glass of water whenever something’s compiling or some bloatware is trying to launch. Probably like 0.x second improvements (in addition to the random “faster paths” the maintainers add from time to time regardless).

    drivers, mesa/vulkan

    I have an AMD APU, kind of sharing a lot of code with the Deck hardware. GPU suspend was broken twice (when the machine was new + 2 weeks ago). Oh, and whenever my uptime exceeds like 10 days or so, it sometimes decides to wake up to a black screen with my cursor (and the entire plymouth shutdown screen) being colored stripes. Now, the popularity of the Steam Deck made navigating issue trackers near impossible. Constant dump of random bullshit daily. Lots of shit is being closed as duplicate of other bugs which are slightly different but “close enough”.

    gamescope

    If we are talking about impact, may as well mention that they could have forked cage or something for the compositor.

    proton

    Cool. The ReactOS/Wine people do most of the work on matters other than obscure graphics and application specific quirks though. One must really hate themselves to understand Win32 internals in the first place, so you have to give them credit. Also, Valve’s fork is often pretty outdated to upstream which is why lots of people are using the third party fork of the fork that rebases with the original (Proton GE).
