[13:51] <BikerMike> Hi. Is there a way to install Xubuntu in Win10 like how WUBI did for Ubuntu some time back? The BIOS key on the keyboard doesn't work so I can't boot off USB :(
[13:59] <brainwash> BikerMike: try this https://www.windowscentral.com/how-enter-uefi-bios-windows-10-pcs
[14:02] <BikerMike> thanks brainwash, will do
[19:54] <hansh_> why is xubuntu 20.04 fetching updates over http by default?
[19:54] <hansh_> with package signing, the security offered by httpS is largely redundant and http use less cpu? :p
[19:54] <hansh_> or what's the justification?
[19:55] <hansh_> (just installed a fresh Xubuntu 20.04 from the official iso, and to my surprise it fetches updates over http)
[20:00] <brainwash> hansh_: you couldn't find an answer for that?
[20:00] <hansh_> brainwash, i haven't found an answer to that yet, why?
[20:00] <hansh_> is it trivial to google the answer or something?
[20:02] <hansh_> brainwash, at least the first 9 results didn't seem to contain the answer, https://i.imgur.com/fGv3l3n.png
[20:02] <brainwash> oh hmm
[20:03] <brainwash> whydoesaptnotusehttps.com was hijacked/sold :(
[20:06] <brainwash> apparently you can manually switch to https and it still should work
[20:06] <brainwash> by adjusting the sources.list
[20:07] <brainwash> in any case, it's not something specific to Xubuntu
[20:09] <hansh_> and why is http the default?
[20:09] <hansh_> for one, HTTPS would protect your privacy. with http, any MITM attacker can see what packages you install.
[20:11] <hansh_> HTTPS might even protect the whole fact that you're using Xubuntu (probably doesn't, but it could be set up that way if it was behind a generic CDN and TLS1.3)
[20:11] <hansh_> (that's part of the reason why The Great Firewall of China blocks TLS1.3...)
[20:11] <brainwash> I'm not here to discuss that
[20:11] <hansh_> kk, but can someone give me an answer? why Xubuntu's apt configured to use HTTP by default?
[20:12] <brainwash> the answer is: because Ubuntu is configured this way
[20:12] <hansh_> i see, thanks
[20:12] <brainwash> Xubuntu is built on top of the Ubuntu base
[20:13] <brainwash> that is why this channel is not the right place to discuss this matter
[20:14] <hansh_> yeah after you told me "the answer is: because Ubuntu is configured this way", i decided to take the question to #Ubuntu
[20:14] <brainwash> alright :)
[20:14] <hansh_> (there's a chance the answer is "because Debian is configured that way", in which case, eventually i may take the question to #Debian, who knows)
[20:26] <hansh_> (in case any1's curious, here's the reason Ubuntu is configured that way: https://paste.debian.net/plain/1168866 )
[23:52] <syb0rg> hi guys. Any way to prevent xfce from screwing up my window placement when I turn my monitors off and back on?
