Works with non-Steam games as well. I even had community profiles for Diablo 2. You just have to give the game the correct name and it should just work™.

I was glad my server did this the other day to make sure the data Lemmy put into my database is secure.

Well, for that look at @cmhe@lemmy.world’s link.

Luckily their work is still done in the open and I can use the driver on my Deck on OpenSUSE despite it not being in the kernel.

OpenSUSE is that you can use it was the game ia gone far right eithee.

Ugh, I’ve got to get rid of my typos from the autocomplete.

That is absolutely not a slow laptop. If it takes a long time to boot there must be something wrong. I have a similar system that takes about ten seconds to boot.

Anyways, like others said, LVM with LUKS is the simplest. It uses your hardware to quickly decrypt the drive on boot. While it is running access to your data is protected by your login manager or lock screen.

In anticipation of the Remake I’m playing Gothic again. First a swordfighter and now as a magician.

There are instructions for both games on reddit and they even give tips for Linux. Important on Linux is that the directory is set to case insensitive. Otherwise you will have problems because files from several mods are duplicated.

Looks like a SUSE/Debian hybrid.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a recent one.

Signal!

Stay away from the Thinkpad T580 with the Geforce MX150. It’s horribly throttled and can’t even run Quake 3 properly although it should actually be capable of running Doom 2016.

Might be the same with the T480.

That’s more or less what a virtual machine does. And I bet cheating programs do as well.

At it’s simplest you just start the programs with Wine. So when you have Wine installed you can just select to run an exe file with Wine. By itself it will install them to a hidden folder where a mock-Windows-folderstructure is created and add entries to your start-menu equivalent.

Most people use helper apps that add a separate mock-Windows environment for every program. Makes it easier to manage them, especially if one program needs different settings from another to work.

Bottles is such a helper for general programs. Heroic is mostly for GOG and Epic games. Lutris generally for games. And Steam uses it’s own Wine version Proton automatically for verified games and you can trivially configure it to automatically use it for every Windows game.

Look at https://protondb.com for games and https://appdb.winehq.org/ for general programs.

And in reality they’re all just in the 2.6 branch. I still remember the transition from 2.4.

Report them separately and clearly. Don’t hide by omission the fact that they are security bugs (common practice in Linux apparently). Coordinate with major vendors how to push fixes.

That’s exactly how it works. Vulnerability found, reported and fixed in secret and when everything is in place everyone is informed to update.

They are generally more important than other bugs so you should put more effort into detecting and preventing them. E.g. using fuzzing, sandboxing, formal methods, safer languages, safety annotations, etc.

I don’t want to sound condescending, but what do you think all this talk about Rust and AI tools is about?

In the end you want to prevent all bugs from happening. Some filesystem bug randomly deleting data can be just as catastrophic as remote code execution.

And if some feature turns out to be a gaping security hole you’ll quickly see it turn into a bug. That’s what the quote is about. Every security issue is a bug so it has to be handled like a bug and squashed.

Priority in bugs exist independent of them being security related or something else. A critical bug will always get the highest priority fix.

security vulnerabilities are simply bugs

I don’t know how he can still maintain this clearly insane stance. Pride?

How else should it be handled?

Invasion.

I wonder how that will play together with Distros like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed where you basically do a whole OS upgrade and are not supposed to do “just” updates.

I hope we can easily supply our own script to run.
