Until you find out about snap

I’m going to kill that motherfucker!! Hurting Tux is beyond bad!

fsck

Yeah I would also want that but a radio network without sector and base station sectioning but it is unfeasible. Frequency spectrum is limited and scarce, sectoring is used in order to share the same frequencies between neighboring base stations. Thus a rough positioning is intrinsic on the system.

Completely anonymous radio link requires a unique radio " address " for each terminal. This is not possible because you need multiple base stations in order to cover big areas, thus you need multiple limited frequencies.

WiFi is a good example. It’s concept is very similar to cellular networks but in small scale (well or it was designed for small scale). WiFi access points suppose they have a more or less clear frequency (from other WiFi stations), with that in consideration they can search for any device that responds for a given address.

But notice that in the modern days new WiFi standards have come up. This is because now we have tons of WiFi AP per building, per house, the freq band is limited too. Modern WiFi implementations are copying the cellular designs with OFDMA. They are starting to use sectoring and MIMO techniques in order to separate the WiFi coverage in sectors.

From a telecommunications point of view cellular networks are better and more efficient that legacy WiFi implementations.

The problem is that because of this some knowledge about the positioning of the terminal can be known. But so do it with modern WiFi.

Again the problem is not the technology but how we use it. Do we have laws that respect user privacy? Nowadays you can geolocate someone by their IP because most ISP nodes are gelocated in order to map network shortages.

Tracking does not depend on you after all. Any station to which you are connected knows you are near them and since most stations.know where they are they also rougly know where are you.

The problem resides in the way we protect our data. Should users be linked to terminals? Well always that you identify yourself from a terminal you are somehow telling that you ARE that terminal.

The problem here is trying to separate the user part from the rest. We must focus on techniques that allow a user to identify themselves in an a remote service without linking it to its real terminal. Tor does that in a way by separating layer by layer.

Is a complex deal. Just be aware of this issues and try to not be fooled by the WiFi VoIP is the new thing super mega privacy. Because when you think you are safe is when you get stabbed in the back.

Mull from divestos repo works fine! Use FFupdater to install it or link the fdroid repo to your fdroid

The most problematic is the stuff that is not standardized and the south-bridge of the chipset. You can always check on coreboot, they are not unbloated philosophy but you can try.

Same, I just switched to mull. Use FFupdater

It’s only VERIFIED to work on old stuff. But you can try. The idea of libreboot is having an unbloated bootloader that is easy to install without having to configure all the setuip yourself. Because of that the libreboot community only verifies it on old hardware or few hardware that the testers have.

This VoIP vs cellular doesn’t have sense. Cellular networks are only link layer. They stablish low level telecom techniques to be able to transport any data to a cellular mobile belonging to the cellular net. The main difference with other link layer aproaches like wifi, ethernet, bluetooth, etc. Is that terminals are linked to a net of base stations in order to keep the best connection to the net at all times from every posible place. In order to do that each base station needs to know which terminals (phone numbers) are in his vicinity and in which sector. This way the cellular network knows where to look for when searching for a given terminal.

VoIP is an application layer service. Which means you can use VoIP over link layers like bluetooth, wifi, ethernet, cellular network. There’s no VoIP vs cellular network. Cellular network can carry VoIP data because cellular network can carry IP datagrams. All modern cellular network use VoIP as their way to carry the voice information over the net and to maintain connection.

Wifi calling vs VoIP also makes no sense. You can do VoIP on wifi. Wifi is a link layer it can carry any digital data encapsulated.

What I understand you are saying is using VoIP through Wifi instead of using VoIP over cellular network.

In order to help a bit more, this are some.VoIP services:

Discord. Linephone Skype. Mumble.

Damn and does it work as an init too? xD.

Yeah libreboot is the right coreboot distro, but meh I felt like letting others decide. I personally have my x220 with libreboot and Guix system

Yes, why?

That poor x220 deserves a coreboot and a good OS

Hell no. I want passport, no biometric facial recognition.

Wait linux community is removing maintainters because of their nationality???!!

Go RISC-V phones please!! Omg. I really hope RISC-V goes mainstream because of this.

He must’ve been very anxious in order to count up to that…

Go RISC-V!
