I no longer have any complaints about Beszel. Thank you!

"The hackers gained initial access using a stolen account credential that lacked multi-factor authentication security, according to UnitedHealth."

Absolutely unacceptable. I might be easier to forgive them if some zero day was used, but that's so easily preventable.

That account presumably had some level of privileges, the policy should have been to enforce MFA, and if the account was inactive, disable it until the user needs it at which point set up MFA again.

Seconded. My only complaint (which this might already be a feature I haven't found yet) is it doesn't seem to support multiple drives. But yes, it is shit easy to set up and has a beautiful UI

Seems that everyone else has said the same as what I mostly already do, but I'll just make a couple comments on the student communication topic:

My university already created a Microsoft 365 account for my university user, which included Teams. For my threat profile, I don't consider Teams a terrible option if I'm only using it for study purposes, so I've communicated over that for assignments before (web UI only).

Otherwise like others have suggested, some students are open to something like Signal (a fellow student got me onto it years ago) if you kindly ask and mention upfront that it just requires a phone number. I did an assignment over Signal with two other students, so it's very doable.

Everything but the fingerprint readers just works.

Good to know the struggle for the fingerprint reader wasn't just me. I did "get it working" but it was extremely hacky and it wasn't what I was after; I only wanted fingerprint for login, not additionally for sudo, but that's not how it set up and I didn't want to spend even more countless hours trying to fix that

Hey guys, my Dad was always a neck bearded Unix admin so I’ve grown up my whole life on FreeBSD, then moving over to Gentoo during my teen years.

I’m starting to have thoughts about switching to Windows given that’s what my new job uses, but I couldn’t find any instructions on compiling Windows outside of very outdated releases like 2000. Also, does anyone know if emacs and htop are compatible, as those are my most used applications?

On that ThinkPad, LMDE.

Genuine question because I've been out of the loop on this. I had a Galaxy S5 that only got one major upgrade from Samsung (4.4 to 5.x I believe) but CyanogenMod and later LineageOS took that thing right up to Android 11.

Why can't the same be done with modern phones today? What changed between that old S5 and the Pixel 4a I ultimately sold for going EOL on GrapheneOS?

Edit: apparently I shouldn't compare apples to oranges without so much as quickly checking support for the Pixel 4a..

Oh god, I got Murena (LineageOS distro). How does one install that onto a ThinkPad T480..

For devices I need to be productive on, I have LMDE 6. It is rock solid being based on stable Debian, but with the niceties you expect from Mint.

For my gaming PC, I've got Bazzite on it and so far so good. Just used it for entertainment and gaming but if I were doing coding or app development I'd either have to adjust how I do that to suit an atomic distro, or I'd just use LMDE as I feel I have easier control of what I'm doing on there

Its pedantic and distracts from the real conversation happening. I've always considered "stock" to mean how the device ships from the factory (that's how the term is used in the automobile world), whereas I would think it fair to consider AOSP a standard, it's something you can compare other ROMs against.

Regardless of mine or anyone else's opinion, we're just ultimately wanting to talk about how GrapheneOS is much closer to the clean and uncluttered experience AOSP offers

Hi guys

I have a Retina MacBook Pro 2015 13 inch with 2.9GHz i5, with Ventura on it using OCLP.

I have a StarTech DisplayPort to DVI Dual Link Active Adapter (DP2DVID2) which I use with my 2560x1600 Dell monitor that only has a DVI Dual Link input. This adapter works flawlessly with my work laptop, a Lenovo ThinkPad L14 via a HP USB-C dock, but connecting it to my MBP (using another adapter going from Thunderbolt 2 to DisplayPort), the built in display goes blank for a second, and then comes back but there's no image or activity on my Dell monitor.

If I boot my MBP into Windows 10 via Bootcamp, it works totally fine at full resolution, and the same can be said for a live installer of Linux Mint. Booting into El Capitan, Monterey or Ventura does not seem to detect my monitor.

I've got a couple images of System Information in case it helps: one and two.

I actually originally posted this issue to MacRumors but no one replied to me at all, so I'm now trying this Apple community, but if this isn't the right fit then I apologise in advance and would like to know where I should post this instead.

 

I actually intended to post this to Reddit but I thought I would contribute content to here instead to get the ball rolling here and do my part.

Anyway, this is a Windows XP-era machine I have at work for testing, and I had just this monitor plugged into it and saw the CPU fan trying to spin. I spun it a bit myself and it just kept going. I disconnected the HDMI cable and it stopped.

The monitor is actually DisplayPort, with a passive adapter to HDMI which then goes to the HDMI cable connected to this PC. The GPU is just PCI-E. The computer has some old ~2007 AMD CPU in it. The GPU actually doesn't seem to work anyway, the PC posts normally but there's no image from either the GPU or onboard, but when putting either another GPU or no GPU, there's an image from the appropriate output.
