  • Looks like you used hardware that was designed for windows and are blaming it now on Linux.

    I am not understanding the issue you have that requires signing of drivers.

    Yes some Bluetooth devices lack the support from the manufacturer’s for Linux, the Controllers i have used work great, at least for my needs.

    Controllers have better support Linux for ages. Not understanding the issue here either.

    Troubleshooting on Windows sucks at least to the same degree. The same non specific error message gets you 50 possible solutions.

    No need to announce your departure.






  • Initramfs and initrd are 2 different things, the problem where the confusion happens is that initrd is deprecated since a few years.

    Now, systemd has implemented an interface called systemd-initrd which basically is initramfs.

    I guess here is were the confusion lies. Nowadays everything is initramfs even if it called initrd.

    The original initrd differs from initramfs, but it is no longer a thing.

    Sorry if i came across a little bit snappy have not had a great week so far.









  • That is why you use an open source manager. KeePassXC for example is not owned by a for-profit company.

    Losing the container due to corruption disk failure etc can be easily managed with backups.

    Losing the password. Yes this is a real valid scenario. I personally have no problem with that i manage fine for years without having to write it out on paper to backup it. A solution would be to actually write that password out somewhere and hide it/ put it into a safe. An attack then needs to attack both, depending if you use disk encryption it is easy to get access to the password safe or not. There are other things to consider, like you could try to hide it in a very long string of characters like 20 pages of random characters, even if you forget it you will be able to find it cause it is very likely that you remember a few characters.


  • I know a lot of services that log you out regularly. Or need a password when you change settings or whatever.

    Well yea people with the “I don’t care. I just press the button and it always works” model do exist.

    WTF no. Password managers are reasonable secure. That is no i don’t care behavior.

    And when you are worried about password managers you should not use cookies. Stealing a cookie is much more simple than stealing and encrypting your password safe.
