Linux with AMD graphics is much more stable than with nvidia.
I have also counterintuitivly found Arch Linux (a rolling release distro) way more stable than Ubuntu LTS. Things like sleep works, and any bugs are small and fixed quickly, bug reports are followed up on within a couple of days. With Ubuntu bug reports go without any replies from the maintainers, and maybe it will be fixed by happenstance by the next release.
I'm thankfully out of the loop on Windows these days, but as I remember it Paint did not have any network features? Is that still true? If if is, maybe it is a misfiling of the CVE and it isn't remote?
Or are they chaining a browser auto opening a download in paint, (but browsers shouldn't do that)...
Why for the love of everything that is good does MS Paint have network trash in it. It's a super simple bitmap editor. Like Notepad, it's simple and just works.
Make a new product and bundle that as an option if you want to drastically change the functionality.

Alpine is mostly used in containers, where you don't run sshd anyway. It apparently doesn't use PAM by default though.
OpenWRT also doesn't use PAM by default apparently, and there is a risk of people using password login, which you should never do past initial setup.
But outside specific niches, musl is rare, with good reason. Performance is a joke compared to glibc, especially the allocator. The only reason to choose musl in my opinion is for memory constrained devices (OpenWRT etc) or for building static binaries where performance doesn't matter but portability does. I consider the "small container" use case questionable: performance will suffer, and you could share large base layers instead which would amortize the cost over many different images.
Yeah, OpenWRT doesn't use openssh by default - it uses dropbear. You can install openssh, if you want more features and there seem to be 2 packages - one with PAM support (openssh-server-pam) and one without it (openssh-server). PAM-less one is the one without the suffix so perhaps it's more likely you'd install that one out of the two, but only if you were trying to switch to using openssh in the first place.
Yeah, a funny thing with leaded solder being forbidden these days is that it isn't really about dangers when soldering with it, the issue is when it ends up in a garbage dump and leaches out.
The reason you still need fume extraction when soldering is the flux, those fumes are quite nasty to inhale. (How nasty varies based on the specific formulation, I recommend using proper ventilation for all of it though.)
(For those who don't know, the flux is there to prevent/clean oxidation and make the solder flow onto the metal pads and pins. Most solder wire contain a core of flux and you can also add additional flux if needed, usually liquid or a paste that melts into a liquid.)
> lean-zip beats every single compression level miniz_oxide
Miniz_oxide is an intentionally simple implementation. It would be more fair to compare it to the newer zlib-rs[1], which even beats zlib-ng (fastest implementation in C)[2].
So, lean-zip "outperforming an equivalent Rust package that crates.io says has been downloaded over a billion times". Yes, zlib-rs has only been downloaded 200 million times... But it is way faster!
Yes, but it also has many conditionals, for example:
- The faster package may have been available for a shorter amount of time and so downloads have not had the time to catch up yet.
- Many people may not be aware of the faster package, but they would switch if they knew.
- Maybe people are aware of the faster package, but there are switching costs that prevent them from adopting it right now that are greater than the costs incurred from the slower package.
Recent downloads per day show the opposite trend, with 2500k vs 1600k per day (with zlib-rs leading). The issue is zlib-rs is far younger so looking at total downloads is nonsense. And there is inertia to switch over as well.
The term you are looking for is viscosity. Water has higher viscosity than air. Honey and syrup even higher still. It basically describes how "thick" the medium is, or to be a bit more precise, how much it resists forces applied to it.
Personally? I'd agree with you. FWIW, you already have to trust your browser vendor, so you might as well trust Mozilla and Google and Apple and MSFT who can spin up one each, or collectively two or three CAs in US, UK, Switzerland, Ireland or sth like that.
That said, starting from the status quo, not sure that's the path of least resistance to get there.
