Have you used it for this lately?
I want to believe it used to be okay for this, but just yesterday I uses it to generate some pretty basic bash and I’m honestly not convinced it saved me any time after I cleaned it all up and actually made it functional
I’m Aussie and I don’t really closely follow the news, but that sounds more like a censorship problem than a privacy one? Even the Chinese find a way around the wall though. My governments been trying to protect its citizens from the horrors of the open internet for decades, they’re… not good at it. I understand the desire for more freedom though.
Buy a nice TV
Give it a static IP
Firewall it off from the internet
Voila!
Edit: Make sure it cant call UPNP on your router or any such tomfoolery
How to quantify that?
Number of surveillance cameras per square km?
Being members of international intelligence sharing networks?
Data protection laws in place? Level of enforcement?
Not sure theres an easy answer to the question, I think you’d have to put together data based on a wide set of criteria, and even then you would only be able to work off publically accessible/known info
Why do you ask? Did your government put a camera in your bathroom?
We’re seeing a few of these lately, hey
Token Aussie reporting in. Good effort.
Given this is was described as a shout this probably more of a ‘COOOO-EEEEEEEee!’
Or maybe a ‘OI OVER HERE YA CUNT’, but I cant speak to the tension level at the Canberra DSC.

Yeah that seems pretty gross.
Being bad at a thing is the first step to being kinda good at a thing.
First, many distros ship with sudo so its pretty ubiquitous, anything you learn about managing sudo will apply to most if not all distros, not just debian. (Great choice though ❤️)
The correct answer is “it depends”.
In a production environment you’ll typically have some external authentication source like IdM, FreeIPA or active directory set up. In this case its common to just give full sudo access to the group that comprise your admin team, as in most cases you have to trust that they know what they’re doing.
Ideally you want to follow the priciple of least access and avoid privilege escalation as much as possible. For example, there may be specific instances where a non-priv user needs to run $x as a super user, in which case, you should only grant the ability to ‘sudo’ for that executable as opposed to ‘ALL’.
As you’ve already discovered, with great power comes great responsibility. 😉
I come to the fediverse for a bit of interaction with humans, or at least observe a bit of discourse 😅 I just unsubbed from another community because it was non-stop bot links. I have RSS for that, don’t need it in my lemmy feed too.
Apparently this was a controversial take
When I first started learning how to Linux long ago everyone recommended Ubuntu… and I had a similar issue to the OP.
I had to dump the EDID of my monitor from a Windows machine to actually get X to recognise any kind of monitor modes …it was an eye opening experience for a newbie.
Today, I still dont really like it for other reasons (I’d take Debian over Ubuntu any day). Call me crazy here guys but I think its okay to share an opinion without being called an edgelord for it.
(I use arch btw 🎩)
