Not so sure. What if these 4/5 nukes explode on the launch pad? Even if this is in a remote area you’ll cause some damage to your own country.

Ah, so they don’t actually say that they read kernel space. They check the version of all installed packages and checksum the installed DLLs/SOs.

If the user still has root privileges, this may still not prevent sideloading of kernel modules. Even if it would detect a kernel module that has been sideloaded, I believe it’s possible to write a kernel module that will still be resident after you unload it. This kernel module can then basically do anything without the knowledge of userspace. It could for example easily replace any code running in userspace, and their anticheat would miss that as it doesn’t actually check what code is currently running. Most simply, code could be injected that skips the anticheat.

Of course, in their model, if a user isn’t given root privileges it seems much harder to do anything, then probably the first thing you’d want to look for is a privilege escalation attack to obtain root privileges. This might not be that hard if they for example run Xorg as it isn’t known to be the most secure - there’s a reason there’s a strong recommendation to not run any graphical UI on servers.

Another way if you don’t have root is to simply run the code on a system that does but that does have such a kernel module - or perhaps modify the binary itself to skip the anticheat. I don’t see anything preventing that in their scheme.

I’m having a hard time understanding how this would work. udev will load kernel modules depending on your hardware, and these modules run in kernel space. Is there an assumption that a kernel module can’t cheat? Or do they have a checksum for each possible kernel module that can be loaded?

Also, how do they read the kernel space code? Userspace can’t do this afaik. Do they load a custom kernel module to do this? Who says it can’t just be replaced with a module that returns the “right” checksum?

For example, maybe branching is something you’d like to be able to do without it being a nightmare?

Right, afghans aren’t arabs

Services are automatically restarted. There is no automatic reboot by default, but that can be enabled if you really want to. Otherwise it’ll keep track of whether a reboot is necessary or not.

I’ve been running Debian stable with unattended-upgrades on servers for years and have had no issues whatsoever.

I think if they just filled the alt= attribute with the emoji this would copy fine.

Word. First thing that gets installed by me on any windows install.

Under Santa’s hat

Yes it does, I use it all the time

Solid explorer is great. One of the few apps I bought.

That’s why we use Linux, free software and no cracks

Did something similar recently. Turns out rsync by default, if it encounters a symlink to a directory and it’s instructed to copy a directory with the same name, will remove the symlink and create an empty directory.

So I had a script that installs crosscompiled kernel modules via rsync /path/to/nfs/path /

This worked perfectly until Debian 12, like other distros, decided to merge /usr, so now /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin. First time I run the script after upgrade /bin gets replaced and then no programs can be started as all binaries look for /bin/ld-linux.

I managed to fix it by booting into busybox and recreating the symlink, but it took a while until I figured out what was wrong, wasn’t familiar with usrmerge.

But it had the bestest music!

I don’t really tweak much. I use the Debian default of 50 percent RAM used. For the NAS’s I tell it to use lz4 as they’re pretty weak cpu-wise.

I’m running ZRAM on my old Netgear ReadyNAS’s, which has 512MB or 256MB RAM. It enables them to do a lot more than they otherwise would be able to, running a modern linux distribution.

I’ve been so satisfied with it that I even started running it on my modern desktop with 32GB RAM, it helps with my tab addiction :)
