Linux@lemmy.ml•What reasons do people have for disliking SELinux?
1·4 days agoThank you, this is a really helpful answer and string of replies. I do not work in computer science, nor do I have any prerequisite knowledge on how security on Linux is typically handled, but this got me a little closer to understanding things and I appreciate it.
Sorta kinda not really related- I appreciated your less-than-topical section a lot, maybe for slightly different reasons than assumed. As someone trying to learn how to tinker with computers and self-host services ‘the right way’, I have been trying to comb through a lot of information written by folks with years and years of experience. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt like the weirdo when I am told to ‘just do X’, so I try to ‘just do X’, and I’m expected to have a job doing this stuff to understand what ‘X’ even is and how it works.
It’s a massive turn-off from learning anything, especially when those knowledgeable people suggest only the most jargon-laden explanations and pointers, and then shut down others who suggest forgoing their methods altogether. Maybe my problems arise from appending ‘reddit’ onto most of my searches, but that’s about the only place I know I can see (what looks like) actual people interacting, and more specifically, people asking newbie questions. Stack overflow is hell to find good answers with, I find…
I posted this both because I feel like Lemmy benefits from people posting engaging questions like this in its’ current state, and mainly because I couldn’t get a straight answer out of anyone when I was wondering why people were trashing on SELinux so often. I want to do things the right way! I deeply value security and doing things ‘correctly’, but I’ve not the experience, knowledge, or time required to do things ‘the right way’ as it exists in others’ eyes. I’m not you, dude! I just want to learn how to host Jellyfin in my bedroom; it’s hurricane season and I need YouTube videos to play while I do things, and I’m aware anything to do with networking should be handled carefully. I don’t care about stuff like leaving SELinux enabled, because I don’t understand why I should. Help me care instead of being a dick and/or unaware of how much you actually know and can do yourself.
Arrrgh. Hopefully that was coherent. (Also, if I get told to use an LLM again, I’ll lose my mind! I’m learning, I don’t need the hallucinating plagiarism machine as a teacher!)
I see, thank you for explaining. Personally, I will stick with alternatives as I’ve a moral obligation to LLM usage for things like this, although it sucks to say that as the ‘selling features’ of this app are really enticing to me. Hope things work out.
Was AI used in the process of making this app, and if so, how? I have personal issues with using ‘vibe-coded’ software. This looks very, very nice, so I figured I’d ask.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In your opinion, is space exploration necessary?
2·2 months agoi think many rational americans are excited for the development of science in general that comes with space exploration endeavors. it doesnt all have to be doom and gloom, although i do agree the US as an empire definitely had reasons along the lines of, “hey look at how big our dick is we went to space”

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Alright, y'all were right, fuck Proton. This was the last straw for me.
1·5 months agoWhat have the people behind Proton done wrong? I only use them for email and will switch to another provider if it is egregious, I value these sorts of things greatly (any alternatives to look into?) Edit: I do pay 40 euro yearly for email through them. Do not care at all for their other offerings.
