well at least they aren't trying to make me install snaps, and patching apt so if I sudo apt install firefox it installs the snap version.

[-] noisypine@infosec.pub 9 points 2 days ago

This should be a jailable crime.

especially as the hack flows downriver to distros with actual dignity like mint. Like this is pollution of the water supply dog!

Btw I use Debian

NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for staying more than ONE VERSION behind

Joke's on you, my servers are largely unaffected by regreSSHion because they're too outdated.

[-] Rainb0wSkeppy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

so old that they are still vulnerable to the same vurnability

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

I use Debian btw

[-] NathanClayton@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

KDE? Who needs anything other than FVWM2 or CDE?

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

As someone who loves the old designs (I've run Chicago95 for years now), the only thing stopping me from running CDE is it lacks first-class support from any distro I've used

The ssh vulnerability didn’t affect Debian because the packages were too many versions behind

[-] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 42 points 3 days ago

AFAIK, the xz vulnerability was designed for Debian based on its workaround fixing systemd service status detection. Even if it shipped to something like Arch, the malicious code wouldn’t load.

Isn’t this meme format completely written in sarcasm?

[-] bisby@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Except this isn't true at all.

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2024-6387

Regresshion impacted bookworm and trixie both. Buster was too old.

With the downside of me doing an apt update and seeing that openssh-server was on 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3 and I had no idea at a glance if this included the fix or not (qualys's page states version 8.5p1-9.8p1 were vulnerable).

If you are running debian bookworm or trixie, you absolutely should update your openssh-server package.

This is great! No better way to demonstrate how perfect Debian is! Debian for the win!

[-] marduk@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 3 days ago

The "install lib-blah-blah-blah" bit doesn't bother me 'cause whenever I need to make something work, I just copy and paste the "sudo apt install ..." commands straight from the internet :)

[-] steersman2484@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

I also never used version pinning in debian

Truly the dumbest meme template of the year.

[-] stepan@lemmy.cafe 32 points 3 days ago
[-] Norgur@fedia.io 12 points 3 days ago

I don't. So... uhm... you're wrong I guess.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

This is a pretty old template iirc

[-] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

It's so old it's still shipping in bookworm

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 10 points 3 days ago

I would uninstall the screensaver so fast if I saw a nag screen. Wtf it's a screensaver, what does it matter? I'll use a version that's 50 years old if I want to.

[-] bisby@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

Because the dev gets a huge number of bug reports for bugs that were resolved 5 versions ago.

They actually asked debian to stop shipping the screensaver, because they were getting tired of saying "this is already fixed, debian is just not going to ship the fix for another year". Debian didn't want to stop, so the dev added the nag screen, because it was the only way to stop the flood of bug reports for things that were already fixed.

I know this is just a meme, but the "Stop using xxx!" posts are really annoying.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 3 days ago

Whaaat, i love them. They are so unpredictable. Sometimes they are fully serious opinions, sometimes only half serious and sometimes just fully ironic shitposts.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

I think the comments calling them annoying are more annoying

I think it is a funny format

Oh, Debian!

[-] bobc7@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Debian was the first distro I tried when switching to Linux. Didn't ever make it through the install process..

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago
[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Was he supposed to start with a higher skill level or something? That's like the "just be born richer" attitude of tech

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Nah, it sounded funny...

"Just be born richer" sounds funnier though

Anyway, Debian had a reputation of being really difficult to install in the late 2000's. I probably got lucky with it. I started using it in 2011 (first time using linux and a computer illiterate just as today) and i went through it just the MS way, like "whatever, continue, continue".

It's my main OS since 2013

debian? kde? arch? nixos? gentoo? Ubuntu? what the hell are all of these? just use mint, it basically fits every use case.
