What a fun thought experiment

Omg the amount of times I’ve clicked on a Medium article in the last month and immediately knew it was AI is so frustrating!!! They aren’t even helpful articles because you can tell there is no real understanding.

Yes, very. I’ve seen people do a similar thing with a separate encrypted home partition which is decrypted by a key stored in your encrypted root. However, I’d strongly recommend you use an LVM on LUKS setup (this is what I do). That way you decrypt one partition and you don’t have to mess around with keyfiles. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LVM_on_LUKS

Yes, but according to that same article, “49% of the SSNs exposed don’t include the minimum quality to pose a risk for identity attacks”. So it’s more like 136 million.

This is so cool!

What do you mean? I’m running signal on my laptop, desktop, and phone.

You will always have to interact with these company’s servers at some point. Stay in control, but don’t obsess. What matters is getting further away. You have succeeded in many ways by taking these steps. Do not lose sight of that.

I always manage to forget the locale or NetworkManager or set a password for root etc… Unless you have a hyper-specific partitioning scheme or system config these work great

It seems like a lot of open source projects are getting DDoSed right now.

This might depend on where you’re uploading/how you’re playing this file, but you could add a thumbnail to the audio file? I know that vlc and mpv will play your audio file and show the thumbnail, but I’m not sure if YouTube would take that. Not sure if this is exactly what you’re looking for but it is pretty efficient.

This was exactly what caused the problem for me too.

Fedora. Fedora is solid, but coming from arch I felt it was lacking so much in the way of the package repos and doing things like secure boot was more effort than it was worth.

Could you provide some criteria for what you’re looking for in the way of security? Wayland is far better for security than Xorg, but it’s hard to say how much it varies between wayland compositors. I can’t imagine it would matter too much, but depending on how much security you’re looking for, choosing more minimal software is probably better. Rust can be better for security but I’m not entirely sure how much can really get compromised through poor memory management in a window manager.

Maybe not strictly privacy oriented but I’m a fan of https://sizeof.cat for general nerd stuff

Been using fish for awhile. I don’t need much more than smart autocomplete (which is built in) and some small QOL plugins. Sometimes it sucks because the syntax is slightly different than bash or zsh so you will have to get used to that.

GNOME 45 Mainly because of libadwaita 1.4 being released with its newfangled widgets

You’re right, but the AirPlay protocol has been updated over the last 9 years. I found something called UxPlay and it works pretty well. https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay

The repository you linked has sadly not been updated in 9 years

Sorry I haven’t really messed with docker on my server. I run multimedia servers and that’s about it.
