Using the device filename, /dev/sda1, is a bad idea. Those can change at every reboot depending on the order that storage devices are found. Use either a UUID or a LABEL instead for the mount.

Typically, HDDs are like car tires. 10 yrs is beyond the expected lifespan and with things start failing, it is time to replace the HDD. 10 yr old car tires and the rubber has already started...
a) this belongs in "Chat".
b) I've been using Linux since about 1993, at Linux servers at home since around 1995 and made it my main desktop around 2007. Still, I have a few programs that only...
I looked up Entra - seems to be some sort of LDAP for Microsoft stuff. I fear you won't get many responses here, since we tend to use Linus for decentralized LDAP. There are a few cross-platform...
In the far right tab, set the microphone you don't want used to "off". That's it. When you want to use it again, run the program again and turn it on and turn off the other microphone.
Or you...

If you unplugging/replugging works, then you don't need it.
pavucontrol is the Pulse Audio Controller from the pulse team. Ubuntu doesn't ship with it - they provide a stupid version - that must...
It is the plugging in, not the unplugging that matters. So, you may need to unplug the webcam, then unplug the USB mic, wait 10 seconds, plug in the USB mic, then start your application. Many...
Certainly a quality hacker would trivially be able to find one of my email addresses - I have hundreds. That should make it even easier.
You'll need to contact the wiki server admin for help. Nobody here can help with credentials.
There are many different sorts of encryption. Should a critical part of the encryption header become corrupted, all data inside the encryption container will be lost. This means that having a backup...
The CAPS LOCK initial setting is in the computer hardware BIOS. That's controlled BEFORE any OS is booted.
I think there are tiny applications that can toggle the state, but I've never needed to...
PulseAudio will switch to a new input whenever it is plugged in. This is the default policy. I think one of your connections is flakey. The easy answer is to only have 1 connection active at a...
If a critical part of the file isn't corrupted, most programs will continue until they cannot. This is very common for media files, since they are often streamed and streaming has hiccups.
For...
That's no guarantee.
It isn't that easy. Behavior matters, assuming everything else is done correctly too. You can be determined just by behavior. Heck, most browsers can be "fingerprinted"...
And none of that works against emails that are
7-bit ASCII
and
no attachments (including MIME attachments). Block them all.
Which is what my email servers allow.
I don't know anything about installing Linux Mint. I've only installed it once and at the time, I selected ZFS as the root file system.
OTOH, I know much more about installing on Ubuntu with...
Do you have a link for this attack on Linux? I've never heard nor seen it.
On Android and iPhones, where we don't have control, I can see it and on MS-Windows where they have MS-DOS and Win3 image...
Found the SELF schedule - Fri 10am - Sunday 12:30pm.

There are 13 presentations on Sunday morning! It is a packed...
For cavemen,
No attachments.
7-bit ASCII email only. No MIME attachments.
Period.
Tor is only for HTTP/HTTPS traffic. I don't even know if they tunnel DNS. They definitely do not tunnel all other traffic ... unless there is another Tor setting.
VPNs are for all ports, if...
SELF - SouthEast Linux Fest is happening in a few weeks in Charlotte, NC.
https://southeastlinuxfest.org/ Attendance can be free, though I think they suggest $50 for individuals, but if you...
Which OS? Which release?
In general, you'll need to reinstall choosing to setup RAID1 before the OS is installed. But if you don't already have a 100% solid backup and restore method, RAID makes...
Anyone with a Linux distro on a USB flash drive can gain access outside the system you installed, so the root password is meaningless. 99% of the world will never look.
Software developers...
The point of livepatch is that new kernels can be installed and used without any reboot needed.
Technology like this has actually existed on IBM Mainframes since the early 1980s. It really came...
