  • It can, but it requires creating your own signing key, registering it with secure boot, and signing your nvidia driver.

    There's a guide here: https://askubuntu.com/a/1049479

    But if you're running any out of tree drivers (e.g. the nvidia driver), I'd recommend just leaving secure boot off.

  • I never mentioned vulnerabilities, I just wanted to point out that, RDP doesn't really work without a graphical session, Windows Server Core gets around this by being a graphical session (although very basic).

    Also I'm not sure, but I don't think Windows handles RDP on the kernel level, it's just nicely tied in with DWM and doesn't have to deal with the multitude of window managers on Linux.

    Handling RDP on the kernel level does sound like a bad idea security wise, but there should be a better way.

  • I hadn't restarted my serial logger after I rebooted my laptop, leaving me with no clue about what caused the crash.

    Probably way too late now, but if it was a proper kernel panic, it should've saved the dmesg in the kernel's pstore which saves to either ACPI or EFI storage (depending on BIOS or UEFI), which systemd then extracts to /var/lib/systemd/pstore/ on next reboot.

  • Unless you are moving gigabits of data, you won't notice the difference the smaller header payload of ipv6 offers.

    IPv6 headers are usually bigger anyway1, so the only advantage is more efficient routing (so infinitesimally better latency), but in my experience most routers only support IPv4 hw offload and not IPv6, so it's only more efficient in theory.

    I just like IPv6 because I get a whole /56 prefix to play with, and devices often randomise their host portion through the privacy extensions, meaning they use a new address each day or so.

    1 IPv4 is usually ~20 bytes, but it can be up to 60 bytes if you stack a lot of options, IPv6 is only 40 bytes AFAIK.

    FOSS App Idea: A browser with Wireguard built in

    I was basically thinking of a simple browser app for Android that automatically makes its requests over a Wireguard tunnel.

    I don't publicly expose a lot of my self hosted services, most are only available over a Wireguard VPN. I don't think my family could work that out, and I also don't usually keep it enabled all the time on my phone.

    It doesn't have to be a fully featured browser, I'm fine for it to be the built in Android WebView or something, and just have a configurable menu of pages that can be easily visited.

    I have some Android app experience from Uni, so I could maybe help out somewhat, but I feel I'm going to be in way over my head to do this alone. I'm happy to donate a little anyway.

    KDE: Fix to weird theming in flatpaks

    This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

     undefined
        
    [preferred]
    default=kde;gtk;
    org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;
    
      

    Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

    Source: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474746#c12

    Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.

    Anglican Church sacked Headmaster over compensation to child sexual abuse victims

    I'm not usually one to share links, but my old school's Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul's School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren't his problem but he refunded their tuition fees anyway because it's the right thing to do. However the Anglican church doesn't see it that way and sacked him.

    I graduated in 2021, but he was truly an amazing person, somehow remembers everyone's names, greeting them whenever and while I never had him as a teacher, I've heard he was really an amazing & energetic teacher when in the classroom. I was even at the school earlier this year and was asking how I was doing with uni and stuff. I genuinely believe he doesn't deserve this.

    Please share this as much as you can, there is a change.org petition, but I feel raising awareness and maybe writing to Bishop Greaves and
