They definitely mean selinux. There only needs to be a single issue for an average user to disable selinux.

That's it! I was just having trouble connecting to my local rmq server on a fresh fedora 39 install. Forgot to disable selinux!

I always thought that admins of Linux installs other than Fedora and Red Hat installs rarely bothered with selinux and that it is definitely not enabled on an initial install.

I thought selinux was available as a package on non-RH distros, but install it and enabling was very painful unless you are an selinux expert, so almost no one on those distros does.

Are you sure you don't mean AppArmor?

I've been a fedora user and Red hat user since 2010, and worked at Red hat for a few years, though not on RHEL.

I think they did mean selinux. You are absolutely right that nowadays it just works for the most part. The big exception is for people deploying applications that don't have selinux config shipped by Red hat. Those people have to configure things properly, and rarely do people bother. If you do things like change the default ports for services, that can also get you in selinux trouble.

One of the best shell skills you can have is knowing when to write it in another language.

I like the idea of Tor but I don't like the idea of federal governments running nodes and snooping.

This is the "workaround" now that websites aren't given free range access to your cookie jar. They make a unique identifier out of a range of info like OS, browser, screen size, whatever seemingly harmless info they can get.

Fonts you have installed, what certs or APIs you have enabled in your browser, someone else can continue with their favorites..

This happens shortly after Twitter pays out five figure sums to users that amplify Musk's own posts. Obviously they're within their rights to do this and also to take @x but it's not a great look.

Exactly, the give and take of social media has mostly turned into taking more and giving less. Social media sites have less and less to offer users as content has become soulless cash grabs or attempts to go viral.

Take 'till it breaks.

It's the only way to uncover the boundaries.

Just imagining trying to search for anything related to x.com is ruining my day

Because my twitter ads aren’t already 50/50 “male enhancement chewables” and crypto scammers.

Apparently searching for hair loss treatments gets you put on the dick pill list.

I tried "x com" in google and it worked fine. The first result was actually quite interesting

>X.com was an online bank co-founded by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho in 1999 in Palo Alto, California

So he's returning to his roots more than arbitrarily changing to something random

He certainly had his wallet involved with some interesting things but I think it's a stretch to say he had any beneficial hands-on involvement.

He’s produced a lot of value for a lot of people over the years, and many things some of us see every day (like Teslas) are only the way they are/have been successful the way they are because of his influence.

It’s always been more as a promoter and image seller, but he has also been willing to make big calls and take risks others won’t which has allowed them to grow. That is valuable. And he has been hands on in some areas sometimes in ways that have been instrumental in shaping things. For better or worse.

He’s far from perfect. But no one is, and honesty is important.

I suspect the big issue here is something typical of narcissists - he’s gotten older, and he can’t keep up his game convincingly enough anymore to fool a large enough percentage of the public, so he’s downward spiraling. And internally he can feel it, which makes it worse.

It would explain a lot, especially the often bizarre and destructive attacks on anyone who says anything he doesn’t like. The over the top edgy/controversial behavior to get reactions, etc.
