Anyone else experience something similar with #spotify on #windows11 via #pihole ?

#homelab and #selfhost folks, where are you buying your hard drives for a good price? Looking for a WD black 3-4TB spinny HDD. Thanks!

A bug in MATE Desktop has decided for me. My new distro and desktop is #Debian with #XFCE. Things are very good. I'm still using a bunch of MATE apps like Caja (file manager), Engrampa (archiver), Atril (document viewer) but those all integrate fine. I kinda wish #LinuxMint would move to #LMDE as the main distro, Debian could do with the extra polish and settings and helper apps.

Doli, of the Great Jul 10, 2023

Taking any recommendations on a UPS for ye olde #homelab. Just had the power flicker and this junk did nothing to stop my equipment from losing power/staying stable. Got a CyberPower EC850LCD and it's just not cutting it. Unsure if it's not enough or the batteries are already dead after maybe a year and a half?

@Nouvanity speaking of #security , I find #dbus secret service a bit concerning.

Any desktop app can talk to the secret service and view passwords in unlocked wallets.

Some basic searching indicated other OS' might be doing similar stuff, but I never dug too deep. Thoughts?

@Nouvanity both of us agreed during the discussion that #xserver is dated and wasn't designed with #security in mind. #wayland is a completely different story, and gaining adoption - #ubuntu defaulting to #gnome on Wayland for example. I think #kde is on its way there too.

The bigger discussion left me wondering if I was missing anything. I think the common attack surfaces for most users are:
- social engineering
- bad browser plugins
- browser compromises
- Trojans
Nothing #linux specific.
