Forensic data on you is already pretty easy to obtain unless you're taking special effort to avoid it being taken. Also when you get arrested they take whatever biometrics they like. The info on you those DNA testing companies are getting is info already easily available to the government. I guess if you're concerned about your DNA being used to tailor ads to you, not just to criminalise you, it could be an issue, but idk I don't think your DNA can really predict what ads will be effective on you.

I like how simple and fast runit is. And the added security is nice.
More specifically, it's the name used by the attacker. Could well be multiple people, or if it's one person (still almost certainly state-funded, but the state can fund one person), a fake name nevertheless. We have no info about this person's real life identity. They used a VPN in Singapore, and some people have looked at the times of the commits to try guess a timezone, though that's not foolproof as they could've just been a nocturnal person, or even tried to schedule commits to happen at a time to suggest they're in a different timezone, though I think the latter is unlikely and overkill.
I think I've found myself wishing manpages were more detailed far more often than I've found myself wishing they were shorter. In any case a man page or help text should put the most important info/FAQs at the top.
There are plenty of guides on how to do a PR online
Yeah afaik any AMD card should work out of the box with the Linux kernel, which includes AMD drivers. Never had any problems with my AMD card. Even on Nvidia it worked, admittedly proprietary Nvidia graphics driver updates frequently broke my graphics but downgrading (in a tty or even a chroot if I can't do it graphically, I think I only ever needed a tty though I don't think I ever needed to chroot because of an nvidia update) fixed it, and using outdated Nvidia drivers was not too big of a deal, I didn't notice game performance issues.
And gaming on Linux is completely fine if you don't have any kind of funky setup (like musl or whatever). The majority of my steam library has native linux versions, those that don't play fine with Wine/Proton.
Tbh Manjaro has made my system unbootable before with a system update, base Arch has never done that for me. I think Manjaro is just poorly constructed, or maybe it's bc of all the packages that come pre installed with it causing problems. Minimal installs ftw
By the sounds of it it was an organised social engineering attack. Almost certainly "Jia Tan" is not a real person, or if it is a real person then it's a case of stolen identity. Even if I were being threatened to put a backdoor in some software I wouldn't do it under my real name.

If you're spending money on a book you may as well get a physical one.
Yes, I don't see why not. What else am I gonna do with my organs when I'm dead?
Wow, I didn't know about the covid lung transplants. If you don't mind me asking, could you describe the covid lungs/how they looked different to healthy lungs? Just morbidly curious

Also, I thought Neofetch just always interpreted River as Sway, but I've now seen people's Neofetch screenshots saying River. How do I get Neofetch to tell I'm using River not Sway?

I had no idea!
If anyone else is curious, it's pretty much what you would expect:
cryptsetup -y -v luksFormat /dev/sda
cryptsetup open /dev/sda topLuks
cryptsetup -y -v luksFormat /dev/mapper/topLuks
cryptsetup open /dev/mapper/topLuks bottomLuks
lsblk
Then you can make a filesystem and mount it:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/bottomLuks
mount /dev/mapper/bottomLuks ~/mnt/embeddedLuksTest
I've tested putting files on it and then unmounting & re-encrypting it, and the files are indeed still there upon decrypting and re-mounting.
Again, sorry if this is not news to anyone else, but I didn't realise this was possible before, and thought it was very cool when I found it out. Sharing in case other people didn't know and also find it cool :)

Wow, that was really interesting. Thanks for typing that up
