Excuse me for my ignorance, but what is the importance? Which questions does this answer, what does it confirm, and what does it mean for the future? As a layman, I’m in the dark on this.

However, in a study we published in 2023, we found that, while European countries have banned the use of colistin in farming, paradoxically they still actively export livestock feeds that contain colistin to low- and middle-income countries such as Nigeria for agriculture use.

When people complain about people fleeing their countries in the global south, they often forget or omit that the global north plays a large part in the state of the countries being fled from. A majority seems to believe that they can continue living their lives, built upon the extraction of wealth from others, with no repercussions and constantly amazed when they are proven wrong.
People do not vote for improvements in other countries. In a globally connected world, people stay myopic in time and space, only caring enough to take action related to things that happen to them, those close to them, or those that are like them.

As usual, the grapheneOS fanboys are replying. It’s like asking for macs alternative and getting recommended macs with “but they are more secure and buying a used one doesn’t give Apple money” comments.

LineageOS supports a bunch of phones. Some of them even support relocking the bootloader after flashing a new ROM (you’d have to look up which, I can’t remember).

Then there’s Murena which runs eOS.

Of the 3 phones he had, yes. That’s a very small sample size.

Very cool. If telnetd is on there, maybe it’s already running and just spinning it up could be enough to then log into it - dunno if he tried that already. That would be even worse because anybody with access to the WLAN could then log into the camera if it’s on the same network.

Do both have to run on the host machine or can a remote machine execute the probes (over ssh or something).

It might be worth looking more deeply into. From a cursory glance, it might be usable for my usecase, but many service have configuration examples for NGINX (or Apache if they’re old). I’ve never seen caddy examples. What has your experience been with adapting those examples to caddy?

Anti Commercial-AI license

Apache still is a pain in the ass. The only guide I found useful were from 20 years ago or so. All “modern” ones I found didn’t explain stuff, but were more like “copy paste this, now you’re done”. They never fit my usecase.

I honestly don’t know why people new to webhosting even bother with Apache when NGINX is around. It’s just so much easier.

What is the context of this? License vs unlicensed? What’s going on?

What’s up with Owncloud? Why did devs leave for Nextcloud? And what happened to prevent that from happening again?

I too dislike that Nextcloud is in PHP, but if Owncloud went closed-source, then opened it up again (not saying that’s the story here), who’s to say it won’t happen again? Putting my eggs in that basket might seem quite dangerous as I don’t want my server to suddenly stop working and sit behind a paywall or something because management decided they want to make a quick euro.

That’s great if it’s your experience.

I’m just saying me and others have consistently had different experiences, and OP can get a better experience at half the price, with the same (or better) energy consumption, all while supporting the Linux ecosystem directly.

That may be, but buying a Mac Mini is like buying a device made from the ground up for Windows, where any other operating system has to reverse engineer 100% of the things to work well, or you have to emulate another OS on it (which comes with its own pitfalls), and it’s 200+€ more expensive than its nearest equivalent.

Every single company I’ve worked at which introduced Apple Silicon to its developers has had headaches with compatibility. The worst I’ve seen was it taking a developer a month to get up and running because the specific component we used didn’t have a build for the specific ARM architecture. Multipass, UTM, podman, docker desktop, all didn’t work until colima and forcing the VM to emulate x86 + forcing docker in the VM to use the x86 image worked. There was a persistent problem with disk IO since it used 9p or whatever. Installing dependencies from scratch meant waiting 30 minutes on the M2.

Why pay a premium for less compatibility and worse specs? Just get yourself something that works, which is cheaper, maybe even supports a company that invests in Linux and its ecosystem, and be able to ask an existing developer community instead of asking the subsection of linux users that run your specific app on however you’re running linux on Appe hardware.

The problem with Mac hardware is that it’s ARM and vertically integrated with everything Apple. Not all hardware is supported by Linux because Apple won’t write any linux drivers and everything is reverse engineered. You’re better off buying something non-Apple which linux properly supports.

If power consumption is an issue for you get, a R9 7950X consumes as much and at times less power than an M1/M2 (I think even M3). Check out GamerNexus’s charts. IINM AMD in W/Ghz performs better than Intel across the board.

No idea where you are, but you can get a small factor PC from one of the vendors that preload linux, or configure a small form factor PC of your liking for cheap and put linux on it. You’ll get more out of your money for the same or better performance with about the same energy consumption (or a bit more).
Somebody I know who happens to live in Hungary got himself this cheap beauty. They deliver all over Europe, but if you live elsewhere on this planet, there probably is something similar like this out there.

TIL about garrotes. We are such a fucking evil species, goddamn.

The blogpost was hilarious though. I’m just sitting here sipping my drink while I watch this AI thing play out. May the AI overlords come within my lifetime.

Now, if only human brains were able to more accurately tell apart fake from real news, we’d have much less of a problem. I bet it has to do with training though. Once we get used to having deepfake voices talk to us as often as normal human voices, we probably won’t be able to tell them apart - just like like with fake news. People trained to consider fake news normal will have much more difficulty telling it apart from genuine news.

I think the problem is of keeping the rubidium atoms at near zero. I wonder what the future will look like once they can shrink it down to the size of a handheld device.

A single folder and power consumption is important --> syncthing. It doesn’t have great power consumption, but since the devices aren’t constantly on, you can just start syncthing up on the portable devices when needed. You can configure syncthing to sync when connecting to a specific Wifi, when power saving mode is turned off, I think even specific times.

It’ll run fine on a server and can be configured .

Let me write a list of requirements that only a specific phone can fulfill and call that “secure”.

GrapheneOS devs probably.

Like:

At least 5 years of updates from launch for phones (Pixels now have 7) and 7 years for tablets

Why? The image is based on AOSP. Are they going to reverse engineer the releases of other vendors and incorporate whatever fixes are in there?

Complete monthly Android Security Bulletin patches without any regular delays longer than a week

Same as above. It’s like like red hat releasing a security bulletin but a Debian based project has to be up to date with that bulletin. Makes no sense - unless you aim to build upon red hat enterprise Linux (which you won’t).

Inline disk encryption acceleration with wrapped key support

Optimisations are part of the requirement? Come on.

Support for A/B updates of both the firmware and OS images with automatic rollback if the initial boot fails one or more times

How is this not a nice to have?

Seriously, basically what they’re doing is grabbing the newest pixel and setting that as the baseline regardless of whether other phones do things better or worse.
