The usual problems with parsing ls don’t happen here because Nu’s ls builtin returns properly typed data.

Isn’t that the point that the previous commenter was making by linking that answer? I read their comment as “here is why you should use Nu shell instead of parsing ls output.”

Sorry to be a doofus, but could you paste the output of iptables-save and ip6tables-save instead? The default iptables output actually just leaves out important information like which interface the rule applies to.

I think the best thing to do would be to see if you can get support from Windscribe and find out whether it’s a known issue or a bug that needs fixing.

Thanks, looking at it now, but I should have remembered, iptables has a separate tool for ipv6 called ip6tables. Could you also paste the output of

ip6tables -L

If you put it in the comment between backticks like this:

```
<paste here>
```

then it will keep the formatting exactly as it was when you copied it, instead of munging the linebreaks.

Check your cron and systemd timers to see if a regular scheduled job is running at that time.

It might help if you paste a complete dump of your firewall rules. I’m not sure if ufw uses iptables of netfilter since I haven’t used it before, but you can do:

for iptables firewalls:

iptables -L

for netfilter firewalls:

nft list ruleset

That might help debug exactly what ufw and your vpn are doing.

First paragraph after the introduction:

what is a “modern terminal experience”? Here are a few things that are important to me, with which part of the system is responsible for them:

• multiline support for copy and paste: if you paste 3 commands in your shell, it should not immediately run them all! That’s scary! (shell, terminal emulator)
• infinite shell history: if I run a command in my shell, it should be saved forever, not deleted after 500 history entries or whatever. Also I want commands to be saved to the history immediately when I run them, not only when I exit the shell session (shell)
• a useful prompt: I can’t live without having my current directory and current git branch in my prompt (shell)
• 24-bit colour: this is important to me because I find it MUCH easier to theme neovim with 24-bit colour support than in a terminal with only 256 colours (terminal emulator)
• clipboard integration between vim and my operating system so that when I copy in Firefox, I can just press p in vim to paste (text editor, maybe the OS/terminal emulator too)
• good autocomplete: for example commands like git should have command-specific autocomplete (shell)
• having colours in ls (shell config)
• a terminal theme I like: I spend a lot of time in my terminal, I want it to look nice and I want its theme to match my terminal editor’s theme. (terminal emulator, text editor)
• automatic terminal fixing: If a programs prints out some weird escape codes that mess up my terminal, I want that to automatically get reset so that my terminal doesn’t get messed up (shell)
• keybindings: I want Ctrl+left arrow to work (shell or application) being able to use the scroll wheel in programs like less: (terminal emulator and applications)

There are a million other terminal conveniences out there and different people value different things, but those are the ones that I would be really unhappy without.

So basically it’s the features that have been standard in shells and terminal emulators for the past couple of decades.

Have you ever experienced any kind of rate limiting or lock-out based on how fast and how much you are downloading?

You’re welcome. I’ve been using Linux for 26 years and had never heard of (or at least didn’t remember hearing of) MPD, so it’s not just new users. We all feel a different part of the elephant.

What is MPD?

MPD (Music Player Daemon) is a server-client audio player long popular with Linux users. The headless daemon runs as a background service, typically on a remote audio server. Music is then accessed via a GUI client frontend, which connects to the MPD server to stream content.

Kind of like running your bespoke, curated music streaming service, in a sense.

Yes but I think the commenter is saying that if a person had installed this package, removing the package in the package manager is probably insufficient to remove the infection from the machine.

How did you bypass the password?

I just did a couple of test searches and it didn’t work at all. Obvious AI images stayed in the results, and the ones that it removed when I selected “AI: hide” were obvious photos or human artwork.

Hopefully they can improve their detection method and make it actually useful.

But in May, the founder announced he was abandoning the tech and pivoting his company to something entirely different: Muscle Mem, a cache system for AI agents that allows them to offload repeatable tasks.

So a completely normal pivot from something more general to something more specific within the same subject area. This isn’t really newsworthy, and the rest of the article reads like an ad.

Terrible article that doesn’t even speculate about how it’s going to change the way we use the internet.

Compliant with RVA23* (excluding “V” extension)

Does this mean that it will or won’t be compatible with Ubuntu 25.10 (that is targetting RVA23)?

They are included in the updates to -testing.

Only after they meet the requirements to be moved from unstable.

From the wiki:

It is a good idea to install security updates from unstable since they take extra time to reach testing and the security team only releases updates to unstable.

and

Compared to stable and unstable, next-stable testing has the worst security update speed. Don’t prefer testing if security is a concern.

- https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting

There is some advice on that page about how to deal with security updates for testing and I’m wondering how people who use testing take that advice, and what changes they make to get security updates. Or maybe you don’t bother. That’s what I mean.

What do you do for security updates?

I do not want to waste everyone’s time by continuing this discussion that is not leading anywhere.

Not leading anywhere? That’s a strange perspective to have given the “overwhelmingly negative feedback.” I think it led to a fairly concrete conclusion.

I think what he meant to say was “I don’t like that my arguments did not sway your opinion.”
