Quoting: subDo they have enough docs from Nvidia in order to not rely on reversing stuff?

It's mostly reverse engineered. Collabora posted about it a while ago.

Thanks!

*MEH* so much wasted energy on stuff that should just be documented.

Agreed, nVidia basically released everything BUT actual documentation. Hopefully that doesn’t deter the devs from working on it.

You should also check out MeseCraft. Fedora ran a Minetest server with it for the release party. It was very polished, and I honestly don’t miss Minecraft anymore :p

Quoting: fireplaceThis is all old stuff. NVidia (and most companies in general) publish these reports long after everything has been privately patched. Your software update may look like any other, but there is a good chance it has security fixes. That's why Torvalds doesn't like when people treat security fixes and bug fixes differently. They're all equally important :)

I'm afraid it's not all old stuff. In this case previous drivers were compromised, as their bulletin points out you need all the latest drivers in each series, as all previous are vulnerable and the fixed drivers were only released on November 22nd so many people will be out of date.

The standard "Make sure to keep X up to date" has nothing to do whether any previous version was vulnerable. The CVEs are reported at a much later date by then. Updates will keep coming and new exploits will arise. But all of that doesn't matter. You should keep your software up to date regardless of whether it's a "security fix" or not. Bugs are bugs.

I really don't know what you're trying to get at. The security bulletin is clear about all prior versions to those listed in the article released on November 22nd as being vulnerable.

What I'm trying to say is that all updates are of equal importance. This one isn't somehow special as nvidia probably addressed those privately even if it says that this latest one is the one with all the fixes.

Quoting: fireplaceThe redirect links you listed are from an ad tracker company with a bad privacy policy. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but you should just put out the direct link because it's listed on EasyList and 99% of ad blockers use that.

GOL is always transparent about that. :wink: This is shown above all articles on the site;

We do often include affiliate links to earn us some pennies. See more here.

This site's privacy policy is fine and small. However that 3rd party's is a lot more shady. https://legal.epsilon.com/us/privacy [External Link]

Quoting: davidakYou also have to link your Steam account to get the free Garfield Kart.

In order to complete your purchase of Garfield Kart - Furious Racing, you need to link your Fanatical account to an Unlimited Steam account. This is an account that has spent over $5.00 USD in the Steam Store.

Still not sure if the site is legit.

The site is legit, but I don't like this steam account linking bs. Humble does it for some giveaways/deals too, so I just don't claim them. Linking my steam account which has a huge catalog of games to bunch of 3rd party sites...seems like a problem just waiting to happen if one of these sites have a breach or something (I'm not sure how the linking stuff actually works, but I will assume it gives them some control/integration of your steam account, otherwise what's the point).

So in this case, with the game being 92% off, it came out to 63 cents CAD without having to link your account...that's still a good deal so I just chucked them the 63 cents :) You get a code, you redeem the code in the steam, no integration/linking necessary this way, all good :D

That's not how OAuth works. Doesn't matter if site got breached or became malicious, they don't have access to your account. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/webapi_overview/oauth [External Link]

Silverblue and immutable/hermetic /usr/ operating systems are the future. First, Steam Deck. Next, GNU/Linux desktop as a whole!
