Ungoogled-Chromium and Youtube

I'd rather not use #brave-browser on my #GhostBSD installation, since I have to resort to using all kindsa Linux-compatibility stuff I don't want, so I have #ungoogled-chromium from the repositories. It's excellent! I even managed to get #uBlock-Origin to work on it in some roundabout way I found on #github.

The only issue is that I can't watch #youtube on it, since #Google has gone to war against all adblocking and everyone who doesn't accept Google as their Lord and Master.

I can watch youtube videos that are embedded in posts to diaspora, weblogs, and other sites, just not on Google's youtube site.

But y'know what? Screw Google and Youtube! I can watch youtube on brave, but why? People who make #BSD and #Linux videos need to use Rumble or Odessy or any other site to post their videos on. Google wants a war? I say we give them one.

Still on #GhostBSD and enjoying it! But as a #Linux guy until only last week, I've got a lot to learn. One thing I totally don't understand is #BSD's "snapshot" system. I was hoping to be able to write a snapshot to a bootable USB stick (as an ISO file) now that I've pretty much got all the little bugaboos taken care of and am left with an awesome desktop BSD OS.

#BSD Runs Faster than #Linux - even in a Live Session

Pow, zoom, zip! Snappy, nimble, and quick! No #systemd pollution and monitoring of every little process. 30,000+ software titles available including most all my favorites (except BSD thinks that Seamonkey is "abandonware").

Everything works. Including wifi. It's not very much different from running Slackware-based #SalixOS, and it has lots of nice GUI tools for users like me who are scared of pushing the wrong button and accidentally igniting the Earth's atmosphere and destroying all life on the planet or something.

Got a sweet Xfce desktop on at the moment, but I think I'll try Openbox + Plank and a few little bits of eye candy here and there. Lots of room to play.

Rolling-release, too! No having to re-install and reconfigure every so often, or trying to preserve /home and finding that configuration files won't work after an update. All that trouble goes away as well.

If you're a GUI boy like me, and want to explore a UNIX-like system that hasn't been bought, gone woke, or been politicized down to the very kernel itself, I heartily recommend #GhostBSD as an introduction to the still-unsullied FOSS world of #FreeBSD!

Well, dammit, now even #Linux has gotten "political." All developers and maintainers with ties to #Russia are being kicked out.
Linux - until now - has been a global, free and #open-source ( #FOSS) project. But Microsoft, IBM, and others who are big money "contributors" to the Linux Foundation have been using their Embrace --> Extend --> Extinguish strategy to mess it up.
It appears to be working.

So today I'm experimenting with a different UNIX-based desktop operating system called #BSD (also free and open-source, with less of the politics and none of the influence imposed by Big Tech (Micro$oft, IBM, etc) their #systemd pollution and influence-buying bullcrap.

Airlines, banks, health care have operations disrupted in global IT outage

A global tech outage was disrupting operations in multiple industries on Friday, with airlines halting flights, some broadcasters off-air and everything from banking to health care hit by system problems.

According to an alert sent by global cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike to its clients and reviewed by Reuters, the company's Falcon Sensor software is causing Microsoft Windows to crash and display a blue screen, known informally as the "blue screen of death."

HyperbolaBSD

The Hyperbola Project is a community driven effort to provide a fully free (as in freedom) operating system that is stable, secure, simple, lightweight that tries to Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) under a Long Term Support (LTS) way.

Hyperbola is an independent, free and libre system built from scratch using the package-management from Arch GNU/Linux and especially patchsets for security from Debian providing packages that meet the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG). Packages are provided for the i686 and x86_64 architectures.

https://www.hyperbola.info/

Works on Hyperbola

"Analysis for binutils and gcc: ... we review the needed code for our implementation and needed backporting. With this we have now a good base for a near first working pre-alpha version of HyperbolaBSD as full BSD-descendant operating-system and the next step for Hyperbola as project in a whole."

One of the many good aspects of gnu/linux is the huge choice of window managers (wm’s).
Live, maintained or not, they usually work and, with the obvious exceptions of gnome 3+ and kde, are not a great overhead to the system.
Below is a small random choice of wms and screen shots - to awaken, not satisfy, appetites.
I use slackware, a no-bloat distro, but even that comes with fluxbox, fvwm2, kde, mwm, twm, wmaker and xfce (default) installed.
Twm is the old and venerable wm - there are some yt vidoes about it - I like it, but I use tiling wms such as ratpoison and dwm.
You can have more than one wm running at a time - you just point each to different display numbers (0 is default)
Everything is easier if one starts the wm manually from runlevel 3 instead of having it done automatically - yet another example of how automation cripples us and makes us ignorant.

Abuser des SIMD, via les registres utilisés pour ces opérations vectorielles, peut conduire au vol de clefs 256Mb.

Il y a encore des trous dans la raquette chez Intel.
Downfall attacks.
Je me demande si l'on peut jouer de la même manière avec les NEON de ARM, qui servent aussi à faire du memmove ou du memcopy.

GhostBSD

Bild/Foto

GhostBSD is a simple, elegant, and friendly #BSD operating system for desktops and laptops based on #FreeBSD. #GhostBSD is a slow-rolling release, while some GNU/Linux distros are on the bleeding edge side; we tried to offer a stable update and release cycle. The official desktop environment is #MATE. The system comes with a graphical application to install software and update your system. Most codecs to play multimedia files are pre-installed. The installer leverages #OpenZFS, makes it easy to install GhostBSD on ZFS with other OS on the same drive, and is suitable for newcomers to FreeBSD. With modest hardware requirements, GhostBSD is ideal for modern workstations and 64-bit single-board computer hardware.
