It’s not well explained for sure but judging by the names of the cookies I bet those store the consent (opt in/out) values for the other tracking options. Another way of putting it would be those are functional cookies related to the cookie consent form itself so that you don’t have to re-select consent options every time you visit the site.

The reasoning is that it is not illegal to fake most student ID cards but it is a federal offense to fake or alter government issued ID documents.

That way if it becomes an issue they can just pass it on to the authorities as their problem.

As someone who also has produced code that looks like random characters spewed onto a terminal while using fpdf, I feel this one.

It can still have issues with potential attacks that would redirect your client to a system outside of the VPN. It would prevent MitM but not complete replacement.

Likely you needed to include the intermediate cert chain. Let’s encrypt sets that up automatically so it’s quite a bit easier to get right.

There is also SMS passive reading using LEO intercept. Hacked police email accounts are used to gain access to carrier systems where they use “imminent threat” no warrant lookups to pull the SMS in real time.

SMS is a terrible form of 2FA, better than none but not by much.

Your experience may depend on which distro you use and how you install things. If you use a distro with a stable upgrade path such as Debian and stick to system packages there should be almost no issues with upgrades. If you use external installers or install from source you may experience issues depending on how the installer works.

For anything complex these days I’d recommend going with containers that way the application and the OS can be upgraded independently. It also makes producing a working copy of your production system for testing a trivial task.

I think I remember running into that as well but for whatever reason I couldn’t get accelerated-x working with the opengl libraries I was using for school. Likely the issue was just a lack of understanding on my part as I don’t think I had a good grasp of the Linux library loader until well after I graduated.

I’ve had a system in the late 90s with a 3dfx voodoo card. Also had a laptop with a SIS card from the early 2000 era.

The voodoo card was THE card to have it it’s day (mine was an older second hand system though). The SIS card… for some reason they decided that standard VESA mode probing wasn’t a thing they supported and would hardware crash when that API was used. I eventually got it working in Linux after patching xfree86 to not attempt probing when loading the VESA driver.

The plastic and wire twist ties that come on cables would work too.

Are they on a local disk? Thunar doesn’t render any thumbnails for remote storage by default.

You can still enter audit mode and change some registry settings to switch to a local account. Last time I did an 11 install on a device with Wi-Fi it also let me create a local account after trying to continue with a blank password a few times.

When rsync copying the active root I like to bind mount / to /mnt/root_fs first. This avoids the issue with needing to exclude folders with sub-mounts and will expose files to copy that might be hidden by the mounts.
