Debian 12.1 Bookworm (Xfce4) Linux-6.1.0.x Fujitsu LifeBook E736 CPU: Intel i5-6300u SkyLake 6th Gen (undervolted) RAM: 8GB DDR4 (Samsung) SSD1: Crucial MX500 250GB (Debian OS) SSD2: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB (TrueCrypt (v3.3) encrypts) WiFi: Intel AC8260 - WPA3-SAE/ EAP-TLS-Suite-B-192

Could you please give me the link to the corresponding article?

Hello, could you please explain to me exactly what you mean?

I generated an 8 GB large dataset of random numbers for my project. How can I verify that the numbers are truly random and do not repeat?

I suspect that encryption tools that can be decrypted with a password all have the same issue. I've been exploring OTP for a few days now ONE-TIME-PAD. I believe this type of encryption will likely be the only way to securely encrypt data. A side-channel-attack isn't possible with it...

You're right, updates and patches mitigate the risk. In the case of the Intel bug "Downfall," the bug has been present for at least a year. And whether the current Intel microcode firmware is truly helpful for it remains to be seen. Tools like KeepassXC, which can be compromised at any time, are...

I'm already concerned that security tools like KeepassXC and Gnome Keyring are vulnerable due to bugs in Intel and AMD CPUs. After all, I've secured all my access data for banking, brokerage, safe deposit box, vault, etc. in Keepass. :confused:

The condition in the "if" statement leads to displaying "disk full" even when the storage hasn't reached 90% yet. Instead of considering only the partition with over 90%, it considers all lines, and that's incorrect. I've slightly modified your script. Please test it. #!/bin/bash df -m >...

Thanks for the link. It just goes to show again how little I know about Canada. The last time I had visited Canada was 20 years ago when I had visited my half-brother. :eek:

That's a beautiful picture. What's the name of the lake and where is it located?

Using a packet filter for desktop computers is comparable to trying to fight lions with a nail clipper. It doesn't make much sense.

When installing third-party packages, it's important to ensure that they haven't been altered by external sources. Verify the checksum and import the GPG key. For instance, with AnyDesk, you can import the GPG key and install the software manually or using "apt." Scripts can be created for...

For GNU/Linux, you need a lot of patience and, of course, a lot of enjoyment as well. If you still want to give it a try, and especially if you want to share your difficulties with us, I'm always ready to work together with you to solve them. Your laptop shouldn't be the issue, as the hardware...

TurboBoost is enabled by default. If one doesn't want it, it has to be manually disabled. However, performance with TurboBoost is very good. I don't want to give up on TurboBoost.

As mentioned before, the issue isn't limited to the IvyBridge CPU. The 10th generation CometLake 14nm CPU in a LifeBook U9310 also tends to reach 95-100°C with TurboBoost before the CPU throttles itself. The solution to this is to change the power limits PL1/2 and prevent the Embedded Controller...

CPUs in laptops run very hot, so a thermald doesn't really help. I've experimented with thermald for a long time, tried various configurations. In the end, I wrote my own cooling mechanisms in Bash/Python. CPUs like 22nm IvyBridge, 14nm Skylake/CometLake can reach temperatures as high as 100°C...

You're comparing apples to oranges. That's not accurate. 29°C on a laptop is very unlikely. Especially not with a 22nm IvyBridge CPU. You probably have a tower with at least a 700g heatsink. As heavy as a whole laptop, in fact. What CPU do you have running?

Do you have Mint installed, and how hot does the CPU get, for example when you're using YouTube?

Happy 30th birthday, Debian! Here's to three decades of stability in the world of Open Source. Cheers to your past full of milestones and to an equally bright future. May your code always be error-free and may your community continue to thrive.
