Might be a good idea to state your country. AFAIK, PayPal has no fees at all in my country, I assumed it was the same everywhere.
Can you get another bank account and card with no overdraft, and keep its balance near zero when not using it? When you buy, transfer the amount to the card and use it in whatever sketchy site you like. As long as its zero balance the rest of the time its relatively safe.
/etc/passwd: you may be able to get to this from the GUI file manager.
If not, open a terminal and type: cat /etc/passwd. Copy the relevant lines.
To test the login, from a terminal, type su otheruser, replace otheruser with the username from /etc/passwd. It should ask for a password, put that in and it should log you in. Type whoami and make sure its the same username as you expected. Paste any errors here.
I think that was meant to be a reply to me, so I’ll respond.
Technically, /etc/passwd can have encrypted passwords in it, but as far as I’m aware, no distro has done that in decades, so realistically its not that risky. It does expose the user names though.
Can you share the lines from /etc/passwd for your user and the user your adding? Despite its name, there are no passwords here, that is in /etc/shadow
Edit: can you su to login as the user?
I think it perfectly highlights what can happen when the risk/severity is blown out of proportion. People will latch on to that and waste precious time and energy defending that.
If the original guy had just published “CUPS has a RCE, firewall it if you haven’t already”, the issue would have been patched in the next release, and the world would have kept turning.
It was a really cool bug, and a great find, it didn’t need the hype
Didn’t know that, but makes sense.
if you are from Russia, it is impossible to convince the US that you are not a part of a state-sponsored entity
This quote from your article does nail the problem on the head though.
Excellent, thanks for the update!
Russians can still contribute, they just can’t be direct maintainers.
Nothing will likely change in the short term.
We get drug spam and stock spam, no reason to expect that political spam is any less likely.
Lemmy has a huge amount of hardcore lefty’s. If you can get them to not vote, and especially if you can get them to tell their friends not to vote, that is a big win.
Astroturfing/sockpuppeting is dirty cheap to do, so no reason not to try.
You do see some users here that will post continously on about a certain topic repeatedly, with no other opinions. They might be legit, but I have my suspicions.
If only USA had ranked choice voting, then everyone could do that.
Remember that in online spaces (and IRL in reality), there are astro-turf/sock puppet accounts that will make claims to sway public opinions.
Can you make your docker service start after the NFS Mount to rule that out?
A restart policy only takes effect after a container starts successfully. In this case, starting successfully means that the container is up for at least 10 seconds and Docker has started monitoring it. This prevents a container which doesn’t start at all from going into a restart loop.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/containers/start-containers-automatically/#restart-policy-details
If your containers are crashing before the 10 timeout, then they won’t restart.
His wife was a little less impressed /s
Hans Reiser was convicted of murdering his wife. He is (was?) in jail.
Opening a new account should be relatively quick, even if you don’t get your card. So create a new account, and transfer most of your money into it. Buy the item with your current card.
Fwiw, even without 3d secure, eBay is pretty safe to use, they are a huge corporation, and they know how to safely do transactions.
