[completed] Working on a project and a survey about GNU/Linux security. Survey results in post.
~~i have created a short questionnaire, regarding how GNU/Linux users secure their system. if you are somewhat knowledgeful on this topic and willing to share, i would appreciate if you would fill out my questionnaire~~
okay, so, my research is finished. here are the results:
The "other" distributions include: NixOS (8x), Gentoo (4x), Slackware (1x), Void Linux (1x) or a combination of multiple distributions

When was this questionnaire posted? I didn't see it and get a chance to answer.
Also, I treat servers different to desktops due to different threat models. The server automatically applies security updates and keeps most feature updates sitting for a while for stability, but on desktop I just install everything within a couple of days.
It's nice getting a glimpse as to what fraction of Linux users are using disk encryption. Full disk encryption is becoming the default on mainstream OSes, but not in most of the Linux installers I've encountered. Always made me curious just how many people went out of their way to encrypt their Linux install.
I personally encrypt everything except for VMs already in an encrypted device or USB drives that need to work with non-Linux machines. It'd be interesting to hear what other people's reasons to encrypt their disks or not are.

The thing that gets me is the “ghost gun” they found on him doesn’t look like a 3D printed gun according to the pictures that were released. It looks like a typical factory manufactured pistol with a metal slide and a metal barrel. Both machined. He would have spent a lot of needless time adding this much detail to the gun, like the grips on the machined metal slide. Why put so much effort into something like that?
Everything on that gun looks highly machined. This isn’t what you would expect from a home brewed 3D printed gun.
Now it could be they just took a random gun and photoed it to make the media happy and didn’t want to show the actual gun. But it’s odd.
The descriptions I have read have let me think that the only 3d printed part is the receiver, the rest is made from matching spare parts
The receiver was the only part with a serial number (law has changed recently and now all parts are marked)

Our migration from SVN to GIT has already started! You can now access our new repositories on a-lec.org/ 😍 :The repos are now open! Please feel free to play around with them, ask questions, report feedback, etc.
To avoid confusion, please keep in mind the following TODOs:
- Migrate existing assets (tracks, driver liveries, cars) to their own repositories.
- This can be done at a slower pace, since we can only migrate assets whose licensing is clear and fully free (as in freedom).
- Non-free assets should be ideally hosted elsewhere.
- Illegal assets (e.g.: those under proprietary licenses and/or violating intellectual property, such as lancer09-wr) will not be migrated.
- Migrate existing tickets/issues from SVN to forge.a-lec.org/speed-dreams/.
- Make some suggested improvements to the in-game download manager.
- "Download all" button.
- Filter by category (car category, track type, robot type) and quality (pre-alpha, alpha, beta, production).
here: github.com/TerraRoot/SD-Lemons…
I'm not so happy, it goes well but it's not really fun. it'll get more tweaking now i've setup the repo how i like. ignore the rest of stuff, none of it is usable right now

BBC Staffers Reveal Editor’s ‘Entire Job’ to Whitewash Israeli War Crimes
BBC editor Raffi Berg has almost complete control of the British broadcaster’s online coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza and is ensuring that all events are reported with a pro-Israel bias, according to a new report published on 28 December by Drop Site News.
“This guy’s entire job is to water down everything that’s too critical of Israel,” one former BBC journalist said.

This isn't 32000 in 1 wave, though. This is ~2500 a year over 13 years. Even the answers given at the beginning of the study could have changed wildly if the same people had been polled at the end. And even if not, 4 people per city is not representative of an entire city at any given moment of time.
What demographics in China did they poll each year? Did they poll people of different racial profiles? Did they poll uyhgurs? Were the candidates selected randomly or were the assigned by the government? If the latter, were they coached or paid? Any number of things could throw off that study.

in reply to schizoidman • • •Makes sense when you unapologetically commit genocide, deny it at every turn, while endangering entire populations of Palestinians and Jews all over the world in the process.
So maybe stop killing children? It'll do wonders.
