I’m looking at suse tumbleweed for an upcoming build. Ubuntu is getting obnoxious, mint is ugly and way behind on Wayland support and fedora I can’t really trust at this point as it’s a community version of a corporate American product. Like I could ignore the corporate stink before but -gestures broadly- not in this climate.
I liked arch but now that bcacheFS is getting yanked out of the kernel I don’t really have a reason to manually do so much myself anymore.
This looks….abusable. I mean, the immich thing is nice but what’s stopping me from breaking into an iCloud account, dumping the photos into this and letting it tell me the best way to stalk someone?
Also, Java in 2025 is an odd thing to see. What problem did using Java solve?
Dude, Luigi and I were playing twisted metal black that afternoon.
Hmm you’re right. It looks like it CAN draw more power but under the same load would draw less. How did I make that mistake? Thanks for correcting me.
Look at the idle power draw. The 9900 is higher and the performance is not that much better.
Seed boxes are also dumb. You are making a honeypot for yourself that can be monitored by the hosting provider.
Yes and no. It’s certainly better than stock android. You won’t find anyone who says otherwise. But it creates unnecessary dependancies on apple’s ecosystem and Apple can’t be trusted. Nothing with shareholders can be trusted. Apple might be an ally today but they are a US based-company operating within the confines of what the US will let it do.
All their cloud services are pretty poorly protected too. Every year or so me and my friends will find Chinese gibberish entries in our calendars that link to phishing sites. These get cleaned up eventually but it proves that Apple is lying about not being able to access your shit.
I’m planning my exodus from the Apple ecosystem and looking at grapheneOS but I’m still in the skeptic stage. I have lots of cloud decoupling to do and my self hosting ambitions are big so at the moment my iPhone isnt the biggest priority to change out.
But I absolutely do not trust it.
I2P is king here but it has a limitation that makes it stronger but less practical. I2P doesn’t generally do outproxies. A few exist but they typically aren’t trusted or used. Instead, I2P tries to keep private by only routing around traffic the originated within its own network rather than piping things from clearnet from one place to another. An issue with arrives that do that is you can see traffic from a honey pot going into a black box and with enough monitoring where it ends up leaving that black box. It’s very difficult to track traffic flow within the network but once it jumps back into clear net you can find it again.
Now while you can argue that it doesn’t come out on clearnet, just originates from there, I counter that with Microsoft Windows telemetry, it might as well be clearnet. Windows is the dominant player at the moment so it’s most likely the traffic ends up on a windows machine. There are really benefits behind the telemetry date but they also means there’s a single point an authoritarian regime can apply pressure to to monitor whatever they want. With advances in AI, chewing through tons of collected data is much easier to do, so the idea of “they can’t stop all of us” is ridiculous. They will just pick off the undesirables in smaller chunks.
Ultimately nothing is completely safe but if you really value privacy, make yourself such an enormous pain in the ass that monitoring you becomes a chore.
I2P and postman are free.
Incorrect. It just means someone has to throw money at proton to get that data instead of throwing at ISPs and marketing nuts. They are subject to the same capitalistic pressures as anyone else.
I2P needs more torrents and more people.
It’s also a shit product riding on marketing laurels from its past glory days, like Norton. It leaves pieces behind that can cause malware to come roaring back.
It isn’t hard to just nuke a system or restore a backup people.
We’re likely on those lists already for using lemmy.
TDPs the same? Bah! I’m looking at a 7900 build and this would be two generations that cannot match its energy efficiency.
Matter is fine too. It’s off the cloud. MQTT is great but generally not exposed directly to the consumer.
I’m actually so incredibly lazy I use a firewalla purple. And I love it. You’ll never take it away from me! Hiss!!!
We americans have been conditioned to accept common means convenient.
It is of the utmost importance that you understand I see what you did there.
Man, FireWire was such a cool name for an interface.
You would think after ditching a bunch of rich fuckers on an island they wouldn’t get another chance to try that again.
I’m surprised you didn’t post that PSP ad with the white lady beating the shit out of the black lady…to promote the sale of a white PSP.
