I’ve got a GLiNet router with OpenWRT, running adguard on it. Best router experience I’ve ever had. I wonder how quick this ruling takes effect, might be smart to buy another while I can lol

The US government violates its own constitution all the time, that’s really not an impediment

It’s the most popular single distro on ProtonDB now, so that’s something

Can’t believe they really rebranded around this shit when we all knew it was a nonsense non-concept five years ago, lmao

It’s arch based but they just arbitrarily hold back all packages by a week for “review” (nobody actually reviews them). This means that security updates etc are delayed for no good reason. It also means that if you use the AUR, which their official package manager GUI allows you to, you will run into dependency hell and system breaking issues frequently. On top of that, regular infrastructure maintenance, like SSL cert renewals, just doesn’t get done, and it breaks everybody’s install.

I agree, it’s a nice-to-have but it’s far from necessary. I like having the option as a backup in case I forget my wallet, but I’ll live without it

Already happening with Windows. Also supposedly with Nvidia GPU drivers, with some AMD execs pushing for the same now

When I first joined Reddit, it was so similar to Lemmy in its principles. Relatively progressive, open source, tons of interesting people having real convos about the nerdiest stuff and talking about the world. It was real, and the fediverse has absolutely nailed recreating that sense of community. What a beautiful safe haven we have

True. The OG GrapheneOS alternative was DivestOS, which actually pulled a lot of features from Graphene. Still so sad that project ended

Maybe if you used TPM key storage to automate the unlock. But ofc that reduces security

I used to use a variety. I’d use Arch on my desktop/gaming machine, Fedora on my laptop, and Debian on my server. But I got the NixOS bug a few years back and now I use that everywhere. It’s great to have every change and configuration documented and available for easy review or modification, and built in generation rollbacks are a lifesaver.

Thinking of building an HTPC from some spare parts, and I think that’ll be the machine to buck the trend. Bazzite will be everything I need out of the box for that purpose without any effort for maintenance. It’s not getting customized or doing anything but games and media

Wow I joined a community that wasn’t actively hostile to my morals and beliefs, how astute of you to notice

Ah fuck off with your LFI slander, standing by social liberals will do nothing but perpetuate the system as it exists

Yea they removed Linux support in 2022 or 2023 I think? I used to play a lot with my friends but I’m not installing windows just for that game so they lost me

Can also use mullvad’s DNS, it’s free

I’ve been on Linux for 14 years now and all the projects I’ve used as my daily driver are still kicking and doing great. Arch, Fedora, Debian, and NixOS. I’m on nix and I’d happily stay here ten more years if the governance stuff settles down, that concerns me. But from a technical and package availability perspective it’s amazing

Using NixOS means when I had the time to customize I wrote it all declaratively, so now that I’ve got obligations it all stays configured and reproducible. No need to swap lol

You’ll almost certainly want to disable some of the more extreme privacy settings. Specifically, enabling Canvas and WebGL will make it much more usable, at the cost of some reduced privacy.

I use Zen as my daily driver, and Firefox on mobile. I isolate different areas of my life with containers and profiles but you don’t necessarily need to do all that. It’s good and private out of the box

I fully agree with you. I use biometrics but if I’m in a situation where I think I might be pressured to unlock my phone for direct state surveillance, I.e. security or customs at the airport, I’ll just restart my phone then so it prompts for a password. Whatever suits your threat model
