Mine are random: my old build server was an HP z800 so I named it "bigzbox". My new desktop is named after a location in an old video game. I haven't gotten around to naming my laptop yet...
I am a white hat - I hack for a living but under controlled conditions where the victim knows and approves of my activities. I have to say that it is my opinion hacking is not a crime for those...
Possibly - a malicious hacker will either use your machine in a botnet or will steal data. A single individual is rarely the target of a data theft simply because it's one person. Why target one...
Completely agree - hackers with ill intentions rarely target a single individual, especially the average individual. A CEO of a major company, then yes, but Joe on the street, almost never. Maybe...
Public WiFi is dangerous because everyone on that WiFi network is on the same network and anyone on that network can see the traffic anyone else generates. Good example is if you were to invite...
Sorry, I meant physical access.
Yes, it's called privilege escalation. If no remote access, the attacker would have to have local access.
None of the things you mentioned are evidence of being hacked. "Being hacked" means only 3 things: someone brute forced in remotely via an open port/service, or malware got installed that provides...
Which is one reason I hate html email. Email should be text with attachments. Just my .02.
Exactly. Why do you believe you have been hacked. What is being hacked, your Ubuntu PC, or an online account? Please provide details. Typically, hackers (script kiddies, black hats) could care...
Please provide an example of this ridiculous situation.
Ran Ubuntu on my z800 with no issues using an Nvidia GTX 1050ti. No wifi on the 800, only dual nics. It's loud as well, but that's not Ubuntu's fault...
So, I have to say this up front: I use both Linux and MacOS. Started with Windows back in 1993 and hated it at first sight. Switched to Linux in 1998 but kept Windows around for gaming. Eventually,...
Gnome, among all other DE's, is the highest resource user. Normal memory usage at login with Gnome, even vanilla Gnome on other distros, is close to 1GB. Also, the lovely piece of "software" named...
Pretty sure the G4's were PowerPC - are you using the PowerPC version of Ubuntu, if there was one, never used Ubuntu back then. Also, PPC is a dead architecture, does Puppy still support this?
The ever present launcher bar - hate it. I know you can hide it but that's annoying. When Ubuntu said they were moving to Gnome I though "yay, no more launcher bar". The meta key doesn't open apps...
"Havohej Pantocrator" by Behemoth.
This depends entirely on the Desktop Environment you are using. The Gnome DE is moving to not having any icons on the desktop at all, or there were as of last year. The desktop is just a directory on...
Well, between my work and personal computers, I currently have 4, 2 of which are sharing a single 34" Dell ultrawide 4k monitor. My FreeBSD machine is headless and not hooked to a monitor. Work...
It would also be useful to know what the message say because then you can determine what app they are from or if they are from email, etc. Turning the notifications off will just hide a potential...
Chromium does that regardless of how many tabs are open. I've seen that on both Linux and FreeBSD. I don't have a technical explanation.
I'll have to chime in here and say that KDE is, compared to Gnome anyway, not a process "hog" at all. Maybe compared to Xfce4 but I cannot remember on Linux how much RAM Xfce4 uses. I have used Mate`...
