Do you have any SATA disks? I'm asking 10 seconds of your time to help with fwupd/LVFS

I'm trying to make updating ATA drives a bit safer and want to lock the firmware to a specific vendor. I've got a big (possibly incomplete) table-of-data with some globs that detect the vendor for each model string. There's nothing in the ATA spec for the vendors to use and so it's all quite inconsistent, hence the fuzzy matching.

Can you add a reply to this post with the output of `cat /sys/class/block/sd*/device/model` please. It's completely safe to run and no device access is done. Thanks in advance!

There is more information here for the curious: [https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2019/12/11/improving-the-security-model-of-the-lvfs/](https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2019/12/11/improving-the-security-model-of-the-lvfs/) \-- comments and questions welcome.

Considering switching to Ubuntu

So right now I have Win10 and its just horrible. Its slow, my computer randomly turns on and off for updates and the UI is a fucking nightmare. I actually dont do a lot on my PC other than web surfing, word for essays and some light gaming. Like Minecraft, Terraria and a special client (iw4x) for MW2 that is still played by a few hundred people. And generally games that are available on steam. Would I have to refrain from some of those things?

how do people guess what is your linux username ?

brute force is trying a combinaison of username:password to gain access to a system right ?

but how do hackers in the first place knows what is the right username ?

more specifically to brute force ssh ?

does linux servers tell hackers what are all the usernames that exist in it ?

I plan to change my Linux. I was thinking about Kali Linux but today I found Parrot OS. Apparently Parrot OS is the same as Kali "but better done". I would like to know opinion people who use both systems. Where is one better / worse than the other.

Thank you!
