In the case of a usurper government that was massacring citizens within 8 days of taking power, under the veil of "removing human obstacles" and eliminating "hostile groups"... I would argue that support and willful ignorance are one in the same. Unwillingness to refuse supply of arms or materials to the government that is undertaking these actions does nothing but strengthen their campaign of violence.

Do you mind answering why you feel this way about homeless people? You or I could be among them tomorrow for all we know, I would hope that someone wouldn't feel that animosity towards me.

To build a fire is so good! Would highly recommend it to anyone that is familiar with 'The Cremation of Sam McGee'

I really dislike the idea of "needs ring 0 = nothingburger".

There's plenty if ways to gain ring 0 access like a user to approving a UAC prompt... Or for an attacker to utilize any number of existing ring 0 escalation vulnerabilities on an unpatched system, or for a UAC bypass to be utilized, or for the attacker to establish a RAT on the system using a tech support scam or similar.

Difficult? Yes!

Only viable via a supply chain attack as some like to suggest? Absolutely not.

I'll admit, if it wasnt for this, and the other comments, I'd have been Poe's Law'd

I mean, the broader thread has been talking about the philosophy and such included in the Jefferson bible. Seems pretty reasonable to put a note on a link to the thing just for the edification of anyone that checks it out.

Its more akin to being adjacent to a conversation about the history of the autobahn, and being the one to say "so for anyone who's not aware, the autobahn was largely built by the Nazis"

It wasn't an attack on you, just context for those who weren't aware.

What a terribly bad faith interpretation of their comment. Theyre making the point that while it's neat that Jefferson de-religioned the bible, and left the philosophy, Jefferson himself wasn't exactly an ethical paragon and that should be remembered. It wasn't an attack against you.

A. Care to provide any evidence for your "gender is a mental disorder" point? Even a little?

B. No one actually cuts a penis off, just FYI

C. Its not uncommom for Cis teenage girls get breast reduction surgery, or even implants. Do you have issue with this? Or do you only have an issue when it's trans men getting a mastectomy?

D. Why you gotta be weird dude? I guarantee you've interacted with at least a handful of trans people in your life and were genuinely clueless about it. (I'm pre-empting the "we can always tell")

Edit: didnt notice he's banned. Leaving it anyway.

Neither have you it seems

I did it with Debian 12 bookworm. I'm working on getting the web interface accessible externally, as it's bound to local host only by default.

Theres 2 steps where you need to watch for noob traps if you plan on using Debian, one in particular being where the link to Rustup is contained within the command block, you need to navigate there in your web browser to grab the rustup install script before you run the commands. If you hit a wall, feel free to message me and I may be able to help!

Just about to get the web interface running!

The build from source is actually incredibly straightforward! There's a few noob issues if you don't fully read the command blocks included in the instructions (They have some links you need to navigate to to install dependencies) but beyond that, for how large everything is, I'm very surprised how easy they make it! If it was difficult last time you tried, I'd give it another shot!

I genuinely didnt even realize I downvoted in all honesty. Genuine mistake that I'll remove once I hit post.

Your source was outdated and asking for, but otherwise accurate. I was asking for what caused them to form, but your source is their (for lack of better words) manifesto. Why they do, but not why why they are.

In the past, I've used nessus for vulnerability scanning my lab, but as my service count has grown, the 16 IP limit is becoming a little unwieldy.

Is anyone able to recommend an alternative that fits at least most of the requirements I have?

  • Free (preferably in both senses of the word)

  • Doesn't use Docker, even if containerized, I'd prefer to avoid having my scanner share a host with another service... and I'm not incredibly well versed with Docker

  • Scans multiple systems (I tried Trivy, but as far as I can tell it only scans the system you install it on)

  • Has a webui for management of scans

Alternatively, if anyone is willing to lend some advice for the configuration of Wazuh... I deployed the service months ago with the expectation that it could be used for vulnerability scanning (the Dev was in a few reddit threads suggesting that it had the capability), but i haven't been able to configure it properly.

I appreciate any advice people are willing to offer!

Edit: fixed formatting

I'm pretty new to using linux as a desktop solution (I use it for servers but have been working on switching over for desktop). I recently installed NixOS on my P14S Gen 2 and have found that while my backlight works inside the OS, I have no backlight in UEFI and GRUB.

I did complete a microsolder repair on the eDP connector on the motherboard due to liquid damage, however all SMDs and downstream chips have been thoroughly verified, and as detailed below, issues doesn't persist in windows.

Boot sequence goes as follows:

  1. System powers on (No backlight)

  2. Smartbeep diagnostics screams it's head off (No backlight)

  3. BIOS/UEFI beep (still no backlight)

  4. Diagnostic Grub beep (You guessed it, no backlight)

  5. OS splash - Backlight is now on

I am unsure if there is a way to resolve this, but any advice would be greatly appreciated as I can't seem to find anyone else with this specific presentation of a "no backlight" issue.

Troubleshooting already tried:

  • Update firmware using fwupdtool, fwupdmgr, and vantage in windows - no change

  • Reinstall windows - behavior stops

  • Dual boot windows - behavior stops if windows was the last OS booted

  • New display cable - no change (tried before realizing this is OS related)

  • Install a different distro - Ubuntu, Debian both have same behavior and I'd like to stay on NixOS if I can

  • Increase GRUB compatibility delay - no change

  • Increase UEFI boot delay - no change

  • Change graphics adapter in UEFI - no change

  • Disable quick boot, secure boot, TPM, set sleep mode to Linux, etc. - no change

  • Probably more that is at this point, forgotten

Edit: fixed formatting, added troubleshooting completed so far and more detail that was initially neglected
