While your statement was true regarding phone (and WhatsApp) being a lifestyle choice, it has become a critical requirement for participating in the society.
In India, every little thing now requires WhatsApp. Want to contact your doctor, lawyer or want to get receipt? Good luck if you don’t have a smartphone and WhatsApp.
So not having WhatsApp is not a choice. Believe me. I have been running GrapheneOS, WhatsApp free. It is so hard.
Wtf are you talking about? GrapheneOS logo represents hexagon structure of Graphene, one of the strongest material on Earth. It symbolizes the strong security it offers, not a butthole.
This. Google would not be fucking us with Play Integrity and other DRM craps if Linus made the kernel GPLv3 licensed. It would have been a dreamland to have hackable phones, TVs and a whole lot of IoT devices where the users would be controlling them instead of other way around.
Agree. Using AI as a tool is very productive. On the other hand, letting AI drive everything is insanely time consuming and tiring work due to back & forth prompts.
Fedora is very stable until a kernel update breaks a hardware function.
He is. This shouldn’t even be a question.
Firefox already supports Manifest V3. It’s just that they retained critical V2 APIs required for adblocking in V3 too.
That’s why my bank does not hash the password. They directly send me plain text password over SMS. It is secure that way.
Because ARM is a fucking mess. Each device has it’s own way of booting. There’s no standard like UEFI or BIOS.
Plus you need propreitary code for modem to support 2G, 3G, 4G…etc. which are complicated to implement.
Who provides free cloud VM?
You can use GitHub.
Well, I can’t say they don’t deserve it.
No. Offline password managers are also suspectible to supply chain risk.
It is e2e encrypted and just works. Everything in Firefox Sync is encrypted including Bookmarks, History, Passwords etc.
Two of the evil internet companies work together? What could go wrong.
Read GPL v3 and why it was introduced in the first place. Code being open source won’t do much.
Home Assistant OS on Raspberry Pi 5. Simple and maintenance free.
banIP works at IP layer. It basically injects additional firewall rules to nftable to reject packets from specific set of IP addresses. It is not aware of layer 7 like HTTP.
What is your goal exactly? Do you want to allow /.well-known to all countries including the bad ones you are blocking? Then you’ve to do it at application layer or setup a reverse proxy that has WAF (Web Application Firewall) and serve ./well-known from the proxy.
Totally agree. I still wonder how anyone even accepted this horrible mess as a backend language. Combine LLM + Go, the resulting code is a verbose vomit that I don’t want to cleanup.
The doctor isn’t the problem here. They’re simply trying to communicate in the most frictionless way possible. So do the billions of people. The real failure is our governments. They allow basic communication protocols to be privatized and monopolized rather than mandating open, federated standards.
