Won't be long now, unfortunately.
Oh you mean that same legal system that would have nailed one of our proverbial balls to the wall if we had a list of so many charges like that?
The one that would never, EVER let us wait a few months until some job promotion or something similar was over?
Well I'll make this easy for you, that same corrupt ass stinking piece of shit system is gonna let this fucker go Scott free on all his crimes. Maybe a few fines.
Land of the free
It was actually because they gaslit people into believing that Biden was a competent candidate until like 3 months before the damn election.
THEN didn't even hold a primary.
And then let Kamala Harris completely train wreck the campaign and say shit like 18-24 year olds were stupid (notice how most of those votes from men for trump were around that age?) And sure, the video was taken out of context but she did say it and these dumb fucks didn't care what the context was when they see that clip droning on their TikToks and shit.
America does have a racism and sexism problem but to tell yourself that that is the only reason she lost this election would be lying to yourself in a very major way.
I did vote for her too, btw. First time I ever voted. But Jesus Christ the democrats just seem like they don't want to win at this point.
Perfectly on brand for Windows then lol
Where to start as a beginner
My ultimate goal with learning this is I want to self host my own Monero node and eventually maybe even self host emails and after that learn docker as well.
But I am a long, long way from there.
Where do I start with something like this if I have no experience with networking?
Should I just start with learning a VPS? I just don't like the idea of me not being able to physically control the server because I think one day Monero might be outlawed or something.
But I'll do whatever I have to to learn.
I have a laptop with pop os and it will not let me format the USB to FAT
[Solved] just had to create a new partition and then it lets me select FAT.
I'm not sure what happened, I remeber using gnome disks to do this before but it isn't working now now the only options I get are (MBR/DOS) or (GPT) and neither one will let me access the actual USB afterwards in anything other than GNOME disks. I can't use file explorer and add anything to it.
What is going on here? I swear this worked well before but now something has changed suddenly and I can't get it to work anymore.
When I restore a Debian disk image to the USB it will finally show up in the file explorer but I can't add anything to it and the only options I get to format it are those ones that won't let me access it in the file explorer and actually use the USB.
What am I doing wrong?
I haven't heard of any set up problems. What system are you using?
Perfect I just wanted to make sure I was worried it may have automatically added them without the CD ROM one holding it in place or something like that. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Its been a lot of fun learning and all of you on here have made it a super enjoyable experience.
Question about updating packages with aptitude in Debian 12
[Solved] So I disabled the CD ROM repository using the software and updates application on Debian 12 because it kept asking me to insert the CD ROM when I would try to install stuff.
After disabling it I used Aptitude to update the packages I had already installed but I noticed that before I disabled the CD ROM repository it told me that because I didn't have it inserted that it used some older versions of software.
After removing the CD rom repository it just updated everything and didn't show that message.
My concern is that I know Debian uses some older versions of stuff because of its stability and I read very briefly about "Franken Debian" situations where people use versions of stuff that weren't intended to be used with the stable version of Debian.
Did I mess up by doing that and create a situation like that? And if so, after a fresh reinstall when I get here again is virtually mounting the USB stick I have the Debian DVD ROM on an option for it to stick with that CD ROM repository? (I don't have a physical CD ROM on this machine)
Dude seriously and I can't believe how many people don't seem to see how sad that is in this thread.
Even if you hate this country or that, not even responding about it and keeping the code and using it anyway and only removing the attribution to the maintainers they removed (although that will escalate to banning them altogether I imagine this seems like a step one kind of thing) is just salt on the wound .
Super sad shit honestly.
I totally think them invading Ukraine is fucked up too but I also think the Israel situation is messed up too and would you be against someone maintaining code just because they are from Israel?
That would be wrong. Linux is supposed to be about more than political alignments its supposed to be a collaborative effort its always been about that.
This is wrong and its super wrong they don't tell anyone what compliance they are following or who issued it to them which is also supposed to be against what open source is about.
I don't agree with communists either but open source software is supposed to be about more than that
This is poetry
The problem is they aren't even saying what those requirements are even after numerous inquiries about it.
Don't you think its wrong to ban someone only because of their nationality? I mean for real man. Every country in the world has done some fucked up shit but open source software is supposed to go beyond politics and ideologies.
They weren't doing anything malicious it was wrong to remove them.
Dude, WHAT. This is totally against what Linux and Open source in general stand for.
I don't support the thing that I'm sure was their reason for this but I definitely don't support banning someone from contributing to an open system solely off nationality.
So what eventually only the "good guys" can contribute to and use open source software? Who exactly decides who the "good guys" are in this scenario? USA? China?
The implications of what this can cause in the future for potentially all of the open source community is absolutely sad. We should welcome all our fellow human beings to contributing to open source.
I have a question about flatpak
I see that it can be slower because of having all the dependencies included with the flatpak itself instead of relying solely on whats installed on the system. I read that this means it isolates or sandboxes itself from the rest of the system.
Does this not mean that it can't infect the rest of the system even if it had malware?
I have seen people say that it isnt good for security because sometimes they force you to use a specific version of certain dependencies that often times are outdated but I'm wondering why that would matter if it was truly sandboxed and isolated.
Do they mean that installing flatpak itself is a security risk or that also specific flatpaks can be security risks themselves?
user is not in sudoers file
[Solved] just had to log out and back in Original post: I'm running Debian 12 and I set a separate root password from my username password.
When trying to install a .deb file I noticed that it said I was not in sudoers file so I looked it up and tried the command SU and successfully entered my root password.
The I tried doing
sudo usermod -aG sudo [username]
And then I verify the addition of the user to the sudo group with
groups [username]
And this does indeed show that I am in the sudo group however when I try to install a .deb file after that or even sudo apt update its still telling me I am not in sudoers list.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
Truthfully just am not an experienced enough user to understand all the potential risks of having it enabled although I'm figuring out now that pretty much every distro I've used until now had root by using sudo.
Does installing one desktop environment over another in Debian decrease my privacy?
I went with GNOME just because I'm used to it and want stability as my main focus but I was wondering if using one DE over another can affect security or privacy at all? Or is that all dependant on the distro you are using?
@bloodfart I figured out what it was thanks to all of you! It was just that I had to change from RAID to ACHI in the bios! Since I didn't want to keep windows I didn't even have to open a command prompt or anything.
Man I love this whole community I can't thank all of you enough.
Dude @minibyte@sh . it just . works This was it!! Thanks to all of you
@Johnny5 This was it! Changed to ACHI and no problems after that thank you so much!!
It wasn't that it was that the windows partition wasn't showing up at all. In this case (DellOptiplex 3070) I had to change from RAID to ACHI and it showed up
When installing Debian 12 from USB it only shows that I can change the USB drive in Partition Disks
(Dell Optiplex 3070 mini) Edit: Successfully installed thanks to all of you! In this specific case all I had to do was change from RAID to ACHI which I was able to do in the bios settings themselves. A warning to anyone who might do this if you want to keep windows I believe you have to edit the windows registry somehow but I did not care to keep windows at all so simply changing boot order to boot the USB with Debian installer first and then change from RAID to ACHI and boom, the windows partition will be discoverable.
Original post: What am I doing wrong here? The computer has Windows 11 on it but I don't want to use it I want it all the way off the machine.
Can this installer not overwrite the Windows OS with Debian? Edit: Just want to say thanks to all of you I'm going to experiment around with the advice you all have given and see how it works out! Absolutely love the passion and helpfulness of this community here on Lemmy for real!
When putting Debian.iso onto a flash drive do you have to use root?
On Debian's website it is saying to write the image to the USB stick I should use a bash script "# cp Debian.iso /dev/sdX
sync"
Is there another way to do this without using root access?
Questions about an install
So I've never actually used a machine with UEFI before I've always been on older machines with BIOS.
I got a Dell Optiplex 3070 Intel core 9500T (gen 9) 2.1 GHz 16GB ram 256gb SSD but it has windows 11 on it.
I hate Windows, and I don't want any trace of it left on my machine. I'd prefer Debian but would even take Ubuntu over Windows What is the best guide for this for someone who has never messed with UEFI before?
PLEASE HEED MY WARNING!
We should be worried.
There is a post on the Monero subreddit about this AllArk (honeypot) site that is advertising an openly illegal amount of cash for in cash trades. That breaks the first rule of the monero subreddit (no illegal discussion)
now, I don't give a fuck if someone wants to break the law, it isn't my business. But in my eyes this is clearly a fucking honeypot site and what's more as far as I could find on the site and as other users in that discussion noticed as well it
-doesn't even accept Monero-
So at this point, I'm wondering why the fuck the mods would allow this elitedragon guy to post this shit like this and how it has stayed up for 4 days.
What is the cheapest way to host my own server?
I'm wanting to run my own SimpleX chat server and set up a Monero node as well.
Can this be done on the same machine? I was considering getting a mini PC to do this so it wouldn't be too much of an issue with it being always on.
Or should I take a different approach and set up both separately on two different machines like a raspberry pi or something?
As I'm sure you can tell I don't have a lot of experience with self hosting anything but want to get into it to help strengthen the networks of these communities I care about.
How viable is using a Spitz router with a Visible sim card in it for internet?
Specifically for gaming and streaming in HD? Would I be able to share play games still as well or is that not happening even if I get the better Spitz router?
Question about using default router and modem
Is using the router and modem my cable company provided for my internet putting my privacy at risk? And if so, I have heard of openWRT routers but it seems like there's quite a bit of a learning curve with that but even if I got one would I need a non cable company branded modem as well? Any specifically that anyone here would recommend?
Can anyone help me with switching wallet software for my hardware wallet?
I'm currently using Exodus wallet with my Trezor model T and have been having a rough time with it. If I download another wallet software and plug my trezor model T in will the same wallets come up if the wallet passwords are the same or is that not how that works?
