did..did you really started using linux because of porn?

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 53 points 5 months ago

Of course not, it was because I really liked this girl, and she used Linux too.

lmao, this is unironically the reason one of my exs stared using Linux. Because I kept hyping it up so he figured it was a good bonding activity to learn it. To my knowledge he still uses it.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 months ago

I was actually kidding... I don't know any girl that uses Linux 😔.

[-] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 22 points 5 months ago

Then allow me to introduce myself.
Not that I'm a Linux pro, but I at least know how to copy and paste terminal commands until I fix whatever problem I caused by copying and pasting terminal commands.

this is such a mood lmao

Will you marry me 😊?

/s I'm already married, just said it for the joke 😂... not happily though, so there's always a chance 🤣🤣🤣.

[-] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago

I've learned the dumb way going for married people is always a bad idea regardless of the status of the marriage, so I must politely decline.
I'm an Ubuntu user anyway, so I'm unfortunately unfit for marriage in the first place.

Lol 🤣, this is why you are, you're funny 😂.

Seriously though, I completely agree with you. I was just kidding anyway, that is completely my problem to have and/or solve, don't need to drag others with me.

relationship is temporary, linux is eternal

[-] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 15 points 5 months ago

Takes all types I guess.

But maybe take OP's distro recommendations with a grain of salt...

Instruction unclear, put a pound of salt into the void

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 5 months ago

I mean, I'd wager it specifically was a hard choice.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

I mean, if OP is going to the type of websites that have that significant of a risk of hacking him, he's pretty deep into the depravity.

[-] folkrav@lemmy.ca 6 points 5 months ago

That’s… quite the dedication. I personally just never downloaded things or ran random executables from porn sites, but hey… who am I to judge, I guess

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 months ago

There's always a risk of JavaScript breaking out of the sandbox and crap like that. Browser vendors do their best to protect against things like that but security is often a trade-off for speed and people like fast software, not to mention browsers are huge and complex and they're going to have vulnerabilities. A browser's whole job is to execute remote untrusted code, do you trust it that much to be flawless?

...... I mean, I don't but I use it anyway so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[-] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

Linux security noob here but can't you just run the browser in a chroot with everything isolated?

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, that should work too... but you don't get to see any of your local files...

[-] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Made a Nix library for this. For a simple setup you can just build this (untested) and run the result:

import ./encase.nix {
  name = "firefox";
  rw.home.nathan = /home/nathan/home-for/firefox;
  # other dependencies it might need...
  tmp = /tmp; # fresh tmpfs for this sandbox
  network = true;
  command = pkgs.firefox;
}

It doesn't have user isolation yet, so if it escapes the browser and the chroot (which doesn't have a /proc unless you set proc = /proc;, and runs in a PID namespace either way) your files are still at risk. However, this is still pretty secure, and you can run the script itself as a different user (it creates a new UID namespace so chrooting can be done without root).

[-] folkrav@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

I mean, yeah, sure. But at this point, if that’s really a worry, one should not trust any sandbox. OSes are huge and complex and will have vulnerabilities too. Hell, there could be a xz level backdoor currently in the wild and nobody knows any better lol

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Right, that's where OP comes in - most malware will be made for Windows, so if you visit such a malicious website, it'll likely be inert under Linux!

.... I'm not saying this is a great reason to use Linux, but there's at least a little bit of merit to it.

virus.exe has downloaded - Kalm
Wine opens up - Panik!
