Qubes is the gold standard

Network namespaces also work

Portmaster is a good gui for this approach

Stray was excellent

It’s kind of funny. The studio wanted to spin off to be independent. So everybody resigning, is effectively doing the same thing. It’s not like there’s big heavy machinery they have to move. The studio is the people.

If they start their own company, they have successfully totally spun off

oh no! Not Johnny drop tables!

You have to be in the same region to setup a steam family with someone.

This isn’t the right community to complain about reddit moderators.

More rarely: some poorly configured USB controllers can actually provide enough backwash power to the motherboard that some LEDs still blink, like the Ethernet indicators.

I ran into this myself, I notice the lights being on, and they stayed on when I unplugged the computer. Took me a good 5m of debugging to figure it out.

this 100% factually incorrect.

I just finished this, yes it took me a month.

I found his literary style, very compelling, it was a fun read.

I found his predictions while interesting, not very clairvoyant. BeOS is sadly no longer with us.

I did like his tie-in to the Church of the simulation at the end, though this predates the official organization of such an church.

I think it was a thought-provoking essay, I disagreed with some aspects of this predictions, especially around what a monopoly is. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a good read. It is not gospel

He did talk about hacker culture, and anybody being able to fix anything, but was not able to make the connection between BeOS and proprietary license and Linux with an open license.

best season ever!

Calling GenZ tech savvy for always using a cell phone is like calling grandma a mathematician because she spends all day at the slot machine.

Really you need to first define your threat model, the EFF has a good guide on that.

Maximum paranoia would be Wi-Fi only connects to a restricted VLAN that can only talk to a VPN server. You must use a VPN to access your network over wireless. That’s probably too much work for most people. But it would be the most compartmentalized, not trusting Wi-Fi encryption, which really isn’t that strong

Super basic data hygiene means you only use WPA2 and above security for your Wi-Fi network.

Depending on your actual threat model, what you choose to do will probably be between those two points.

Over a long enough time span… everything returns to star dust

Dreaming of your code when sleeping.

Pros:

• You get your hands dirty
• You learn a lot
• You have total control of everything

Cons:

• It takes a lot of time to do anything the first time
• You’re always going to be tweaking something
• Things are going to break at random times when it’s inconvenient

No matter what you do, have an extra cheap open WRT router you can throw in when something breaks.

I for one like unifi, I would recommend their dedicated router product rather than an all-in-one device. You can always run there management software in a docker container when you need it
