Bullshit wtf! It seems somehow my laptop's hdmi is slower than it's laptop display?     (Linux)

I bought an expensive laptop with 4k and I was expecting performance when watching videos etc. I've already got a performant desktop that is doing great / playing smooth.

I got my laptop working and played a video I played earlier while it was still running windows and it ran like shit (now the laptop runs linux). I played the video again on the desktop and I could swear that although some scenes weren't perfect, they were indeed pretty dang smooth. I went back and forth between the laptop and desktop on the same monitor and definitely the laptop on some portions of the video was unacceptably shitably choppy. It seems that it's during times of significant large visual movement.

I ran the video again with mpv, as I had to compile vlc without vaapi support, and indeed now on the laptop's screen the video is smooth as butter, even better than the desktop on the monitor. However when the laptop was set to back mpv with the monitor, it was back to noticeable shit chop.

Wtf is my expensive ass laptop cheaping out on their hdmi hardware! wtf!

This is pissing me off because for this damn thing to be worth my time it needs to be a full desktop and laptop replacement. wtffffffffff

The enterprise cryptographic filesystem for Linux     (www.ecryptfs.org)
submitted by iSnark to Linux 3 weeks ago (+8/-0)
2 comments last comment...
https://www.ecryptfs.org/

eCryptfs is a POSIX-compliant enterprise cryptographic stacked filesystem for Linux. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the header of each file, so that encrypted files can be copied between hosts; the file will be decrypted with the proper key in the Linux kernel keyring. There is no need to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the encrypted file itself. You may think of eCryptfs as a sort of "gnupg as a filesystem".

eCryptfs is widely used, as the basis for Ubuntu's Encrypted Home Directory, natively within Google's ChromeOS, and transparently embedded in several network attached storage (NAS) devices.

Originally authored by Michael Halcrow and the IBM LInux Technology Center, eCryptfs is derived from Erez Zadok's Cryptfs, and the FiST framework for stacked filesystems. eCryptfs extended Cryptfs to provide advanced key management and policy features. eCryptfs is currently actively maintained by Dustin Kirkland (of Canonical, Inc) and Tyler Hicks (of Canonical, Ltd).

"Hello fellow Linux users". Anyone have any recomendations of apps to use?      (Linux)
submitted by Monica to Linux 3 months ago (+6/-0)

One thing I'm looking to do is backup old dvd files and I need a DVD-RW app to read/write using my DVD-RW burner. I also would like to rip some old audio CDs I have.

I also would like to know of a secure browser to use.

Any recommendations to help get me started ... anything really.

edit: I just installed i2p and it's working. I'm kind of excited to see what it's like.
edit 2: I would like a good IRC app.

I finished installing Devaun and wanted to install brave browser. That took a while to figure out then it finally looked like it installed. Now I wondering where the is it? How do I launch it. The install instructions said to use the app launcher.

I found 'app finder' and brave browser was not in the list. I have no idea where this installed to.

Edit:
Can't change the title: *Devuan

I've used many different versions of Linux but I thought I'd ask and see if there's something else I might be interested in. I'm looking for a secure way to access the internet. Does anyone have any experience with Qubes-Whonix?

Please list any good Linux OS's you recommend.

I've used red hat, ubuntu, mint, whonix, and I tried installing Arch. I probably installed others but that's all I can think of right now.

'Critical' vulnerability in OpenSSH uncovered, affects almost all Linux systems      (www.computing.co.uk)

More info here: https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/linux/comments/1dsvgli/critical_vulnerability_in_openssh_uncovered/

============Below is a comment with other links=============

Debian system on stable seem like they're not affected. I checked my open SSH version using sudo apt show openssh-server and looks like I'm running:

Package: openssh-server Version: 1:7.9p1-10+deb10u4

And the article listed states that this version isn't affected.

My Ubuntu machine is on version Version: 1:8.9p1-3ubuntu0.7 and looks like this version IS affected by this bug. I'm on the jammy release and they have released a new version that fixes this problem, so just a quick update should fix the issue.

Looking at SalixOS. Anyone tried it before?     (Linux)

Its a stable fork of Slackware, and I like the underlying philosophy.

I only have experience with Mint, and I don't actually know what I'm in for. I mostly use my laptop to browse the internet, light office stuff, and to play old video games.

Any current/former slackers here?

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-1086 and carrying a severity rating of 7.8 out of a possible 10, allows people who have already gained a foothold inside an affected system to escalate their system privileges.

Anyone know why a mysql query call to simply select count(*) would take 9 seconds for 2.3 million entries?     (Linux)
submitted by CoronaHoax to Linux 5 months ago (+0/-0)
2 comments last comment...
I moved a db from a personal machine to a VPS, mariadb to mysql, and now -

select count(*) from table_name;

calls are taking like 9 seconds.

Also a lot of other calls that used to take like 0.5 seconds now take 10. They're all calls that are under an index...

Can anyone please tell do you know are there any settings that are likely to alleviate this? I'm finding it hard to believe just 2.5 million records are causing this much slow down just because it's a VPS (4 gb ram, 2 cpus, should be respectable enough hd access)?

Spoiler, the first "rules" are the 10 commandments. They have 72 rules, strangely enough. Not in agreement with this list, as my code of ethics is far simpler than this. However, it seems who made this list wanted nothing to do with the new BS intersectional crap and put a bunch of hard bible shit in there instead.

Ubuntu (from the wikipedia site):

There are many different (and not always compatible) definitions of what Ubuntu is.[7] Even with the various definitions, Ubuntu encompasses the interdependence of humans on another and the acknowledgment of one's responsibility to their fellow humans and the world around them. It is a philosophy that supports [u]collectivism over individualism[\u].

So, the Ubuntu movement by Mandela is the basis of philosophy for ubuntu linux?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Experience_ubuntu.ogv

It seems Ubuntu is now "communism for linux".
