Some questions about DRM

I was reading up on DRM (Netflix, Spotify thingy and not the X11 thingy) topics like widewine, playfair, playready etc.,
+ If ms edge comes to linux will it have playready pre-loaded?
+ I was thinking if it was possible for the vendors to write their own DRM implementation in wasm which will be cross platform and we can enjoy 4K in all the platforms.

Noob here. Please go easy if the questions are stupid.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer - is it working properly?

I was curious if Linux does use my audio card properly to decode audio with hardware acceleration or decode it with CPU, then put it through my card to simply play the audio.

Do you have any info about it?

Theoretical Question - Malicious Shell Aliases?

I was thinking about this the other day and it got me thinking...my .bashrc/.zshrc is user-writable and doesn't need root permissions to edit.

What exactly would stop something malicious from adding an alias to either rc file like this:

```
alias ls='ls;./someMaliciousSilentScript.sh'
```

...I would never actually know this is happening, unless I frequently look at my aliases, right? I don't think I've ever seen any shell show me the expanded alias prior to running.

Or I suppose, this just comes down to "don't run stuff you don't know/don't pipe curl to bash/etc"?

Push Notifications for SSH Logins

Hi,

For anyone that is interested I decided to create a quick noscript to get a push notification whenever a successful login to my SSH server occurs. I thought I would share it with anyone that is interested, at the moment it is very basic and requires a bit of manual installation but it does what I need.

If you have any questions or concerns let me know.
