Also, I find it really funny you commented on my 3 month-old comment.

Michael J. Fox and JG Hertzler have secretly been the same person all along... somehow. I don't how; how does spacial scission thrown together with some other sci-fi stuff sound?
Yes. In fact, almost every XFCE component can ran on Wayland now. At this point, they’re just a few bugs to hash out and figuring out what they’ll actually use for the compositor.

From what it sounds like, there will be a somewhat usable Wayland release in late 2026 alongside X11, and I imagine we’ll get a more polished release in late 2028.
I haven’t used Nautilus in ages, so I can’t say for certain, but Thunar is a more traditional-feeling file manager. It feels more like an older version of the Windows file manager but with tabs, while Nautilus seems more Mac-like.
They also messed up the DS9 theme; it drove me nuts when they sped it up and added that horrible drumbeat that doesn’t stay synced up the whole song.
Reminds me of when a client walked in to the help desk I work at the other day with a 2015 Macbook Pro still running El Capitan. I upgraded her to Monterrey - it’s been EOL for a year, but it’s better than sending her away with El Capitan. Monterrey is the best I can do since OCLP would be outside our policy.
My rare non-OC, but contextually relevant.
I enjoyed the D & D movie, so maybe they can pull off something good. Maybe they could just do something set in, say, 2467.
However, I’m extremely sad that it probably won’t be Crisis Point 3.
That's precisely why secure boot and TPMs exist - the TPM can store the keys to decrypt the drives and won't give them unless the signed shim executable can be verified; the shim executable then checks the kernel images, options, and DKMS drivers' signatures as well. If the boot partition has been tampered with, the drive won't decrypt except by manual override.
The big problem is Microsoft controls the main secure boot certificate authority, rather than a standards body. This means that either a bad actor stealing the key or Microsoft itself could use a signed malicious binary used to exploit systems.
Still, it's at least useful against petty theft.
TPM sniffing attacks seem possible, but it looks like the kernel uses parameter and session encryption by default to mitigate that: https://docs.kernel.org/security/tpm/tpm-security.html
I just want a Lower Decks Vol 1 vinyl reissue and a Vol 2.
That joke's so funny, it's making me a bit wheezy...
Meanwhile on startrek.website, blissfully mostly unaffected other than being unable to access a few other Fediverse servers:
At least my Canvas isn't out again. It was fun to chill during the AWS outage, but the rest of the week was quite stressful as I worked to catch up.
