@revv @stown My problem with mailinabox is that my outgoing mail gets blocked by Spamhaus. Mailinabox was fairly easy to setup thanks to @MickInTX. However, until I figure out the outgoing block, its unusable. It could be a problem with Linode where I host my mail server, but neither Linode or Spamhaus could give a me a resolution.

@radfordhound ok, so bloat or break

@radfordhound wow, this is starting to make more sense to me. I started trying to use Linux a few months ago. I’ve seen a lot of controversy over Snap vs Flatpak and I see a lot about Wayland (havent looked into what that is yet). thanks for the explination.

@radfordhound interesting, so is there some reason that developers dont use the first option and/or prefer the second?

@radfordhound @hikari newbie question, what about AppImages? Don’t they work on all distros, are they bloated?

Interesting. They didnt mention using a password manager. I dont type many passwords these days. I wonder how much using a password manager with MFA reduces the risk to this attack. https://fortune.com/2023/08/08/artificial-intelligence-listen-keyboard-typing-steal-sensitive-information-cybersecurity-research/

A.I. can identify keystrokes by just the sound of your typing and steal information with 95% accuracy, new research shows

Researchers had artificial intelligence listen to the sounds of typing through a phone and over Zoom, with eerie results.

@kellogh do you have a favorite example?
