For configs I use Home Manager on a public Git repo. And for everything else I use Pika Backup.

too late I signed up for Revolut.

Wtf they’ve done for the sponsors to pull out?

We call that user namespaces and seccomp on Linux.

It’s also happening in Linux through fwupd.

Just keep your main profile from GMS and GMS-dependent apps.

Set up profiles: one for your day-to-day activities and one for your proprietary apps and GMS. I also have one profile for all things Musk and one for WhatsApp.

When it comes to apps on your main profile, you should keep it as Google-free as possible.

Same with your home screen. It’s supposed to be as useful and not provide access to every app you have installed (another operating system does this).

I have GMS installed but on a separate profile.

Signal so you can actually communicate with your relatives and HeliBoard for a nicer keyboard.

Plus the verification. If it’s FNS-based verification, then I’m all for it.

Arcticicons on F-Droid and Accrescent.

You can always host your instance yourself.

Keep in mind they’re more likely to search for alternatives when this will be in force. We already have a federated equivalent for every platform there exists.

So if this passes we should start pushing Fediverse to masses by every means possible.

At this point just get an e-bike or a normal bike if you have calories to burn.

Vibe coded code whose “author” understands the language and actively challenges the agent for his decisions in the interest of long term window is OK. Vibe coded coded that are one-off without any future prospects should be 100% banned.

I intern at a security company and half of our office (including me) runs some kind of a Linux distribution. I got Ubuntu on the company-assigned computer.

Use Mullvad DNS instead, it’s a very blatant honeypot.

Honestly we really need a phone with a proper Linux distro that does have same hardening as Graphene and also underclocks the modem and the rest when idle.

Please don’t expose your services to the internet directly. Use something like Tailscale/Headscale/whatever mesh VPN is relevant now. It’ll always be 100 times better than this and you wouldn’t worry about Authelia, f2b and CrowdSec (though updating your services and server(s) is always worth it).

Rule 0: don’t get any TV. Just get a office projector, paint your wall white, get some nice sounding speakers and plug your PC to it.
