That is disgusting. 'nuff said.

Firewalls: what SHOULD I block? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Cornflake_Dog@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This seems to be some of the most worthwhile advice. I do use a pretty reasonable DNS client (NextDNS) and it allows me to configure some useful filters and such, and when I'm browsing the internet I also use uBlock Origin and manually allow any third party content one by one.

I did configure UFW to block incoming and allow outgoing, and that should be more than enough for me. I think I'm a pretty "standard" user in the sense that I would make a fairly average target for a would-be attacker. It's not like I own a web server with goodies worth exploiting.

A part of me really wants to learn more because at some point I'll have my own router that I'll want to ensure is configured properly because I'll likely end up making my own server for media stuff.

Thank you for your reply!

Firewalls: what SHOULD I block? (lemmy.wtf)
 

Hey there folks,

I'm trying to figure out how to configure my UFW, and I'm just not sure where to start. What can I do to see the intetnet traffic from individual apps so I can know what I might want to block? This is just my personal computer and I'm a total newbie to configuring firewalls so I'm just not sure how to go about it. Most online guides seem to assume one already knows what they want to block but I don't even know how/where to monitor local traffic to figure out what I can/should consider blocking.

Thanks for letting me know, I think that's the best news I can get so I don't go on a wild goose chase trying out random drivers with no success lol

It's just an intel i7, there's no dedicated GPU, no separate graphics card. The program doesn't seem to recognize the CPU for an iGPU.

DaVinci Resolve not recognizing iGPU (lemmy.wtf)
 

Hey there folks! I recently made the switch to Linux and I really want to do some editing using DaVinci Resolve. My computer is running an intel i7 7th Gen with no dedicated GPU. I used this tutorial to get through the initial installation but now the app just crashes warning "Unsupported GPU Processing Mode," advising me to "Please review the GPU drivers and GPU configuration under preferences." This is what I see when I go to that menu. Any idea what I need to do to make DaVinci recognize the integrated GPU?

Fedora: GNOME or KDE? (lemmy.wtf)

Hey there, folks! I'm about to do my first Linux install and I'm trying to figure out which DE I wanna use. I'm not concerned about how analogous the DE is to any other OS because I'm willing to learn and develop a new workflow. From a performance and overall compatibility perspective, does either GNOME or KDE outshine over the other for this? This is specifically considering the latest non-beta/stable versions of each. Does the Anaconda installer work in the KDE spin of Fedora, or is the install process different altogether? I know Fedora's default is GNOME, does this make for any less stability with KDE?

Edit: I appreciate all of your comments, thank you for taking the time to write them! Initially I was really interested in GNOME for its minimalist design, but it seems KDE can be altered for a similar form without needing to rely much on third party pieces because of how much is already built into it. Although I'm certain the GNOME DE is a really nice one, I think I'm gonna give it a go with KDE simply because it has three customizability already out-of-the-box and it seems to be slightly lighter weight. Of course, there's no reason to ever settle and it's likely I'll try GNOME at some point instead. Thank you! :)

Finally bit the bullet and got a Thinkpad and I'm leaning towards putting Fedora on it. I've never used Linux before but I've done some research and I like the idea of something that updates more often than Debian but isn't as DIY as Arch. Do y'all think Fedora would make a good starting point? I hear it's stable enough and offers enough non-free applications through the RPM file management system.

Also, are there any drawbacks in using the immutable Silverblue version? I'm considering it just so I don't do anything dumb by accident.

Where to find FLAC music? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] Cornflake_Dog@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 months ago

This. Physical media is awesome to own, and ripping extremely high-quality copies is actually pretty easy, just time-consuming.

I recommend EAC (Exact Audio Copy). It's free and there are some awesome guides online for setting it to get the best quality for your rips.

That's awesome! Now how can I add it to Libreoffice?
