The accusation that Jarczak bypassed their authorization controls in violation of section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Why the fuck is the DMCA even a factor when the parties are in Poland and China?

That’s a shitpost

Arch on desktop since 2020, RH-flavoured on servers.

Used Kubuntu from 2012ish to 2020, distro-hopped in the decade before that.

I wonder how many countries’ laws every Linux distribution violates by existing (e.g. North Korea, Turkmenistan) but these bozos at Arch Linux 32 don’t proactively block.

That is the way. I just don’t understand open source projects that have no ties to regions where these dumb regulations exist blocking users from said region. Why is it your problem? If California (for example) wants to block your website, let it be their problem.

+1 for the headphone jack

There are jobs with flexible hours and partial or full work from home arrangements, and more importantly jobs where you can feel some amount of purpose and personal growth instead of just making money (mostly for someone else, i.e. shareholders). To get such a job you might have to get some specialized skill, or just get lucky.

Hey, hope you are recovering from this ordeal. I attribute some of the oddities in your post to panicked writing, but it would be great if you can clarify these points:

listed as .BRM for windows 6

What does that mean?

As soon as they saw me, they wiped everything from my home folder, everything that wasn’t a base part of kde was gone

What do you mean base part of KDE? Did they delete more than just the home directory?

because since they schroot, none of those processes were available to me to view

Why wouldn’t you be able to view processes running in schroot? Doesn’t it use the same pid namespace and uses the same /proc as the init process?

I went digging and found the schroot under /run/ I took a look at the properties and the env showed 128.7TB of storage

You wrote in a comment “that was the server farm rooted into me”. Why do you think that is the case?

Also, it’s not quite clear what the screenshots are meant to show. The first two are a list of files in your home directory, showing it’s not empty. So did they wipe everything or not? How are we supposed to know what those files are and what you expect should be there… And then the other screenshots are of you trying to recover files from the disk image.

I understand if you don’t, but do you actually have any evidence of an attack? Like cellphone video of the screen while you are seeing suspicious activity on Wireshark? I can definitely understand being more concerned with minimizing the damage once you realize files are being deleted than gathering evidence. But can you for example fish out that .dll file from the disk image?

Had to think about it… The answer is nowhere. I built my digital life around Linux for 23 years.

Agree except that having your web crawler hiding itself by pretending to be Googlebot is bad. Preferable to Google search monopoly. For search, Brave is not actually a terrible option (but I won’t touch the browser with a 3 metre pole)

I think that’s the issue. It’s xhost + if I remember correctly.

No, secondary clipboard Ctrl+v paste is a Windowsism

It could also be that the app is looking at parameters other than the hash (which would probably be that of the certificate authority rather than the domain’s certificate), like the CN, which is potentially fakeble. You can also try to mess with the APK file, maybe find the strings associated with the certificate check and replace them. I won’t fault the app’s authors for making such a check though, MITM is so easy to do without certificate validation.

I use Linux on my work computer

No, I think they should ignore it and let the British government do what they will. Again, they are not bound by UK legislation. Similarly they don’t block Chinese IPs because of censorship laws over there.

I’m not an expert but I feel like organizations like Wikipedia that are not based in the UK and do not do business in the UK shouldn’t fight or comply with this nonsense. If the British government instructs ISPs to block access to Wikipedia, let them, and see the uproar it generates.

That’s very unfortunate but hopefully you developed skills that will help you in your future career.
