As long as you copy from the device file (/dev/whatever), you will get "the raw bits", regardless of whether you use dd, cp, or even cat.

Patent infringement claims in 2019 saw Mozilla reach a settlement to avoid litigation. As part of that settlement it was forced to make changes to MLS that impacted its ability to invest in (commercially exploit?) and improve the service.

Yet another nice thing ruined by IP trolls. It's long past time we threw software patents into the dustbin of history where they belong.

You're thinking of Mtgox, a Magic card trading website that reinvented itself as a Bitcoin exchange—and then disappeared with its users' money.

Posting something on a website does not make it public domain. Typically, the website's Terms of Service will require that you grant the website operator a license to use any content that you post on the site (so that they can display it to other users). That license does not extend to other visitors of the same website.

Of course, in practice, it's very unlikely that someone would take you to court over copying a website comment. But if someone posts, say, an original work of art or a short story in a comment thread, you should be aware that it is still protected by copyright.

As someone who occasionally dabbles in music production on Linux, I love that Pipewire lets me run JACK and Pulseaudio apps side-by-side without having to jump through hoops.

On my distro (debian) I can use systemctl --user restart pipewire.service.

This website explains the process: https://git-send-email.io/

You could try the solution suggested in this reddit thread, and use systemctl to start and stop wireguard instead of wg-quick.

This is an advertisement.

For me, Crunchbang was a great introduction to the possibilities of customizing your Linux experience. No giant, monolithic desktop environment, just a handful of programs that you could (and were encouraged to) tweak or replace to your heart's content.

I still run a Crunchbang-inspired setup on my vanilla Debian install—openbox, tint2, conky, nitrogen, gmrun, Win+Letter hotkeys for frequently-used apps, etc. While I've outgrown the need for a preconfigured distro myself, I'm glad to see these projects still providing an on-ramp for users looking to dip their toes into the deeper end of the Linux pool.

The first step after you untar is always "open the README and look for build instructions."

In "set" mode, the game doesn't ask you if you want to switch every time an opposing trainer sends out a new pokemon.
