  • "My BIOS is password locked but proprietary (due to compatibility issues)."

    "I use full disk encryption, multiple disks, and a second layer of encryption for specific important files (NSA style)"

    I recommend switching to Libreboot, I've recently helped add support for the Dell Optiplex 9020 MT, and will soon add support for the Dell Precision T1700 MT. Libreboot allows for full disk encryption, including the automatically encrypting the /boot partition during installation of an OS. I use RAID 0 with 3 disks (LUKS and LVM) on my desktop, with my /boot unencrypted stored on a SD card so I can easily toss it whenever.

    For gaming, I've had success using Proxmox to play games like GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege through a VM, even passing through NVIDIA drivers (though I plan to switch to AMD). Although, currently the Haswell boards (9020MT and T1700MT) can't use IOMMU correctly so I recommend using the T1650 for passing through your GPU to a VM. Beware though, the T1650 board can't be freed entirely in the BIOS I believe.

    Also, updating your CPU microcode can help avoid potential performance issues. If you're concerned about security, consider GPG signing your kernel with Libreboot GRUB for an additional layer of verification at boot.

  • Are gun designs open source?

  • So what about when you are getting raped? What about when someone doesn't want to let you go? Do you know what its like to almost be murdered?

    If you want to say "Why do you even need to fight bro" you're basically just saying good luck to all the people who can't defend themselves and just letting them die. And do you not understand how regimes come to light? Just take a look at Russia, Putin just got to serve for another 6 years. Do you wonder how somebody stays in power for 24 years and more? Because nobody can fight back.

  • What about the innocent lives lost because they didn't have a gun? You think everyone can fight with their bare hands or a knife?

  • Well, that's hard to do when your government are the only ones with guns and power.

  • Docker - what use is it?

    Jump

  • Wondering too, since Docker has a non-root mode, is there a reason to use Podman?

  • Does ProtonVPN no longer offer the option to pay in crypto?

  • BTC --> XMR --> BTC is the simplest method to achieve anonymity with Bitcoin, or you can just purchase Monero directly via cash by mail.

  • No thanks China!

  • Thank you American software

  • LibreCMC and MullvadVPN?

  • What is the dumbest reason to kill somebody?

    Jump

  • Well if you kill everyone, will there be anyone left to shame you? Therefore, it wouldn't be dumb to kill people then.

  • Dealing with people like that can be super draining. I had this 'boss' once who was actually just a coworker. He loved to pick apart everything I did. When I stopped trying to go above and beyond and just worked at a pace that felt right to me, he got really annoyed. He acted like he had authority, saying our real boss sent him to nag about my 'bad' work.

    Before I left, he made a big scene about being the best worker there and called everyone else terrible. He'd complain about me sitting down to do inventory and then sit down himself a minute later, just showing off his hypocrisy. If you called him out on anything, he'd sulk and be a pain for the whole day. It's tough working with someone who's both a bully and acts like they're the victim. You never knew what mood he'd be in; if he was mad, he'd come in trying to make everyone else mad too, even yelling at his girlfriend on the phone and blasting music all over the warehouse.

    And the drama never stopped with him, always bragging about how he never got help from anyone. But I'm like, you were fed as a baby, right? You had a roof over your head? He just seemed ungrateful. Someone needs to give him a wake-up call. The worst was my new manager never stepped in to stop him, and they both acted like I was the problem, making fun of me every day. I didn’t want to sink to their level, but sometimes you've got to stand up for yourself quietly, keep notes, and be ready if they push too far. Some people are just awful.

  • Please don't use Discord for FOSS projects

    Jump

  • We shouldn't be mixing FOSS projects with proprietary communication platforms. There are a lot of FOSS enthusiasts who want their setup to be entirely free and open, including Discord into the mix basically goes against the whole philosophy.

  • What VPN would you recommend for torrenting?

  • Is it really that bad? I haven't had any issues torrenting stuff with Mullvad, although I usually don't torrent files above like 20GB

  • Yeah, Linux phones are cool and stuff but is there any benefits compared to using GrapheneOS? Sure, you can have more freedom on the OS level, but is it really a big benefit compared to just using GrapheneOS?

    The killswitches on the phone seem nice, but I do wonder if they're using any proprietary firmware or something to make it switch on or off?
