The software I use doesn’t get significant updates often. Kennel, vi, grep, find? They’ve been around for decades.

I’m genuinely curious what kind of things people can’t do because of lag on package updates.

What’s your point? At one moment in history everybody would buy leaded fuel. That’s my strawmen reply to your strawmen.

So, since I live in Australia, it means no changes. Got it.

I’ve been more fortunate than you apparently. I’ve got a xps15 5520 which is not officially supported, but thx to the return policy I felt safe to buy it and give it a try.

I’ve been using mint on it without any problems. Hibernation was what took me the most with to get working. Very happy user so far.

I wonder exactly why ssh was taking so long more. Perhaps the bits that scan ssh logs with a regex to extract IP address and username?

Whatever it is, that particular bit should be easy to deactivate since somehow a full fledged binary file with executable code was being bundled. I can imagine it only being active under a toggle that would make it harder to detect, such as a specific time of day.

That’s my take as well

That’s way more steps than I thought

I wonder if something so complex makes it easier to potentially detect than something slightly simpler.

Btw what does the .o file do, is that the one running inside ssh through system d?

It’s proprietary protocol so no

My work VPN works on Linux but my company only paid for the Windows and Mac licenses. So the binary tells me it won’t work.
