I think they’re referring to the fact that bash is GPL while ZSH is licensed permissively

Personally, the only thing that would help me for is if I wanted to kill myself

You can keep only grub on the USB so windows can’t touch it. Avoids all those issues since the main install remains on the SSD.

Personally I just boot windows from usb. Rufus has the ability to install it there

I believe the idea is that even if the machine is running Windows, an attacker could just boot an affected grub version from a USB to perform the exploit

Android is fine because you’re able to use a web browser to get an auth key. You have to register devices where you can’t do that, and it seems to be impossible in the case of the pixel watch

Edit: Also, they’re not concerned about privacy. They want to know who every device belongs to

The Pixel watch has this problem too. However, it randomizes the MAC per network, so that strategy won’t even work. I’ve tried to get it from the debug log but failed I’ve resigned that it won’t be getting connected to the school network

I’ll admit to doing this (but with tmux)

If they’re using md5 (which would be in line with their security practices), the block size is 512 bits. That means that everything less than 64 characters is the same cost

Packet loss would be quite costly though

Don’t most routers run some form of BSD?

At least with AMD on Wayland, gpu offloading works seamlessly. But I’m not sure if the GPU is actually powered off when I’m not using it; my use case is an egpu rather than a dual GPU laptop so I don’t notice battery from it. I don’t know what the situation is with Nvidia or xorg

Theoretically they could be reported by federated servers that do have it enabled

My friend has a 3060 ti. Nouveau resulted in random freezes, and the proprietary drivers made it so GPU accel didn’t work in flatpaks under kde wayland. Had to switch to xorg to fix it

They realized banning convenience is bad for business. You can still pay in private ways

What? You can use dd to read/write any block storage device (or file)

Does impression support Windows ISOs? Or only ISOHybrid (what Linux ISOs use so you can add them)

I was just pointing out that it is in fact possible, and has been done

There’s YaCy, it’s just not good

Looks like it’s only on the play store and GitHub, you could use obtainium. But it’s not been updated since 2023 apparently.

I’ve used Island in the past and it worked fine
