A .deb install for Debian and Ubuntu would be good please. I also know people will ask for flatpak's too.
elitistphoenix··on Social media bans and digital curfews to be trialled on UK teenagers
The UK is turning in the very definition of a nanny and police state under the usual guise of think of the children. And don't get me wrong I'm just all for banning social media entirely.
elitistphoenix··on Ubuntu Planning Mandatory Age Verification
Let's post the mailing list link directly? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2026-March/04...
elitistphoenix··on Keep Android Open
I paid someone via payid via the web ui. Was via an email address. It was a while ago though and haven't used it since. Also I've never used the app since the blocked rooted devices, magisk stopped working (cause of safetnet) and moved back to sms "security". I just logged in then without having to enter a code. I do note you need to allow browser fingerprinting to allow the login to work. Otherwise it's some generic error.

I've made a lot of noise about it so maybe they've "unblocked" me to shut me up. Email the CEO so it registers a complaint. Make some noise. Definitely have another bank though as you can't just depend on one.

FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now.

elitistphoenix··on What's Inside a Linux Kernel Core Dump
Is it just me that feels dirty learning about the linux kernel from an Oracle page?
elitistphoenix··on Thanksgiving 2023 security incident
Was the self hosted environment running a AV like the Crowdstrike agent? Or was it running different AV and that's why you chose to use Crowdstrike as someone different?

I guess no need to specific names. I'm just using that as examples.

elitistphoenix··on Breaking Free from DRM: Hacking My Air Purifier
That's what I thought it might have been. Tried there and through Home Assistant. Neither worked. It's weird that the bottom "buttons" on the unit itself work and light up and the colour indicator works but not the "top" panel (still in the round circle). Was wondering if I or someone else has hit the wrong button at one point but I think it might just have broken. Not a massive deal can still monitor in app and HA.

elitistphoenix··on Ask HN: What's the best car without undesirable features?

elitistphoenix··on Australia Faces Prospect of Becoming Bing Nation as Google Plans Exit
I wish the Liberal government wasn't so in bed with Murdoch so they wouldn't constantly fuck anything technical.
elitistphoenix··on Visa Advertising Solutions (VAS) Opt Out
