Yup. You can only add the nopax flag as root, so if your system is already hosed, not much else you can protect. Root has access to ring 0 so anything goes with access like that. Stuff like pax would slow them down for sure and stop script kiddies, but root access is root access.

No privileged accounts can’t do anything with the nopax flag. That’s why you should configure your system to not run things as root as much as possible. Personally; on desktops, I don’t even use a sudoer natively. I have to su into my sudoer account in order to run root commands.

GrSecurity adds so many layers of protections to the kernel. They are literally decades ahead of the vanilla Linux kernel in terms of security. With all of the hardened GrSec settings checked/configured correctly, it stops the majority of 0 ring exploits (at least when I was running it before they went full GPLv2).

PaX is an awesome part of GrSec. Mprotect stops any read and write and execute access to memory in both user and kernel lands (only rx or wx). Stuff like web browsers won’t work unless you have a program to mark it in elf to not use pax. However, this kills a lot of exploits with that turned on by itself (though there are probably work arounds if you are developing exploits which the other features would hopefully catch). That’s why people installed 3rd party unmainlined security patches, but that’s just me maybe idk.

I hope this venture will be more fruitful than the copy paste code that people kept trying to push to the hardened Linux kernel project (despite the maintainers best intentions and countless efforts to stop that)

Uhh sir Linus, this is a Wendy’s Linux kernel.

Why force your political beliefs on something that has nothing to do with?

Its about the same difference, but you can definitely tell the difference between 1600p and 720p.

I got a onexplayer for like $600 and it has the 7840u in it. No matter how you slice it, the 7840u is much more powerful than the steam deck. However, it doesn’t do well in low tdp. That’s what the steam deck is best at - low tdp gaming and battery life.

But so long as I’m near an outlet, I can play more AAA games and on much higher resolution and graphics than the steam deck for however long I’d like. On battery, only about 3-4 hours vs 6-8 hours on a steam deck.

Hardened gentoo was great when grsecurity had their kernel patches opened freely to the public, but now idk. I’m more into hardenedbsd than anything gentoo nowadays.

People can and do make idols of anything, but Linux in itself is not a religion.

I think the last 2 seasons of enterprise has got to be the best seasons of all star trek series

I think the main reason Firefox isn’t on there is because redox os doesn’t use Wayland and x11. Porting firefox would be a massive effort unfortunately.

😂

If you want something like Mac, use elementary os.

For me, its the way they used procedural generation. Like its literally the same exact points of interests on every planet.

I remember going to a planet full of high level fauna and discovering a cave where you find a dead pirate that says these things are everywhere ahhhh. I thought it was cool. Next planet I went to had no fauna, and sure enough that same cave and dead pirate was in there saying the same thing with absolutely no fauna or enemy NPCs in there.

Its like they made 20 unique assets for the procedural generation tool to pick from. This is the exact laziness I found and drove me away from ESO. Just the same experience, with maybe a different faction here and there but the same points of interest over and over.

Other than that, I liked it. Basically skyrim in space. But very empty and they forced you complete like a 2 -3 hour mission before stuff opened up to you. And another 20 or so hours before a mission locked skillset is introduced. Huge waste of time IMO.

Its an alright game if you have a lot of time to kill.

In my experiemce, Java shoots processing usage up while COBOL uses much lesser CPU / memory

I think the majority of exploits in metasploit are for Linux, but could be wrong.

Lord have mercy. Canada has lost their minds.

I was just thinking about this the other day…like games are optized for windows usually, but windows is not optimized for games. A fresh Windows 10 runs at 2gb ram on idle. It all went down hill for gamers when Microsoft killed xp
