  • Probably a good idea to go see how much storage will be necessary...

    Jump

  • My rationale with Debian is that distros are kind of like portals to entire compendiums of free and open-source software. With the increasing attacks on vpns in particular right now, I'm concerned there are any number of programs we take for granted that we might not have access to soon.

    The internet is already deeply enshittified. There is a real possibility that it will no longer be a free and open web in any capacity soon. So it's past time to make archives, and start setting up meshnets.

  • Nothing in particular that I'm aware of, just a growing recognition that things are very much not well in the US these days.

  • Curious about the mindset of the one (so far) person who has downvoted this post. What is there to dislike about archiving Linux and Wikipedia? 🤔

  • Is it possible to just run a pirate video streaming site from Kodi?

    Jump

  • This looks promising, I'll look into it more. Thank you.

  • I think you're exaggerating about those sites. With an adblocker turned on they're generally totally fine, and often a nicer viewing experience than some of the big streaming services - especially YouTube.

    I actually wouldn't mind playing directly from those sites in fact. My biggest priority is having a convenient home screen or desktop on the TV, and providing easy one-click access to those services to make it easy to use if I have guests over or something.

  • Yeah currently I'm just leaning toward using a docked Steam Deck, and using desktop mode with a wireless keyboard that has a built-in touchpad. The browser as is would be fine.

    Maybe if I want to put in the extra effort I can see about adding the browser as a "non-Steam game" and set it to open straight to a streaming site, so that I can open it directly from gaming mode.

    Have you ever traveled outside of America? (Not to Canada or Mexico)

  • That looks like paradise.

  • I've heard a little bit about India having their own issues regarding animal rights. 9% is still a lot better than 1% though.

    Biking is my freedom, which means I'm very unfree.

  • The only traveling I've done outside of the US was to Canada, very briefly.

    What countries are most friendly to a vegan lifestyle? Which ones are most walkable and bikeable?

  • FSF announces Librephone project

    Jump

  • It sounds like they are basically doing the same thing Replicant does (they even mentioned Replicant), but based on LineageOS right now, and with enough resources to hire someone to work on reverse engineering the proprietary bits.

    Not the most glamorous endeavor, but a cool and necessary project. Pretty pragmatic too, focusing on Android instead of mobile Linux.

    Encrypt your Linux with LUKS, like seriously.

    Jump

  • It's a Thinkpad P51 with a Xeon chip of some sort. Yeah I don't know what happened there, only that switching to fedora without full disk encryption has resulted in much greater performance, like a difference between being able to do some gaming or not. So many variable changed there that I don't even know if the crypto had anything to do with it.

  • What will you do after Android starts restricting FOSS apps?

    Jump

  • I will switch to Android roms that don't have that defect, and continue to buy and tinker with Linux phones when I can afford it, until they become daily-drivable.

    Jump

  • Currently I have fragments of my data stored on at least half a dozen devices that I've accumulated over the years. My digital life is as messy as my adhd brain. I plan on setting up a NAS at some point, and will likely both consolidate all my data there and use LUKS. But until then encrypting one drive is the least of my problems.

    Although anti-theft tech in my laptop might be kind of neat.

    Jump

  • The type of partition I created was Debian's default settings at the time.

    This is where the threat modeling comes in. The laptop in question is not currently likely to be physically searched - nor does it contain any data that is likely to put me at any risk if it is searched, and the more prudent things I can be doing to protect my privacy have more to do with getting away from Android/Play Store, and being less dependent on other surveillance-capitalism services like YouTube, Google Maps, etc.

    I will likely use LUKS again in the future, but there are broader overhauls I need to make to my digital life first.

    Jump

  • Last time I had LUKS setup on my main laptop, there was a surprizingly sharp hit in performance.

    I'm glad I have the option, but is it really the most appropriate thing for me to use right now? It just doesn't make sense to talk about security and privacy without a clear threat model first.

    Do you believe in Supernatural things?

  • Without a doubt, but, it's complicated. I try not to make assumptions, or get my own personal interpretations of things mixed up with direct experience.

  • Even if it's a small amount of people, it still matters. Even if boycotts can't be made big enough to force a company to change, the change that does occur for the people boycotting changes their own lives. Things don't happen in a vacuum, there is opportunity cost. Nintendo might still be bullying the rest of their customers, but the boycotters themselves are already free. They're already using alternatives, supporting those alternatives, and the growth that can happen from that support can potentially mean the world to who is being supported.

    I could be playing a Zelda game, but I won't. And because of that, one way I've scratched that itch is by buying indie games with a similar style like Blossom Tales and Anodyne. Indie devs can use all the support they can get, so every customer counts.

    It also has me looking into open-source alternatives like the Zquest engine and Solarus engine - both of which seem pretty cool.

    And of course as I said earlier it means more of my time, energy, and money go toward Steam, and Valve is doing great work driving increasing popularity and technical capability of Linux, and largely doing it in the right way by substantially supporting open-source software like Proton.

    One or few people don't make much of a difference in the short term, but they are always the first ones necessary to get network effects going. I mean come on, we're having this discussion on lemmy.

  • we did a little bit of branch fuckery

  • At least twelve lanes on a single track. If I recall, the cool keytar instrument you could get for... was it Rock Band 3? might be able to make a song with that track in it. Not sure how many other games or instruments could do that though.
