Have you used Google Maps? Or OpenStreetMap?

Does Bernie suffice?

It’s real hardware dimming.

The graph shows weekly active users. So you wouldn’t be counted unless you actively boot Bazzite.

One has to find the right balance between security and comfort, and this entirely depends on the threat model one has. Nowadays, I will always enable full-disk encryption on all of my devices, even if I then decide to store the keys in TPM and unlock the disk at boot.

I have at least 5 half-broken HDDs sitting around, completely unencrypted, I have no idea if they still work, but they are surely full of private data that I would like to have purged. I fear mechanical destruction might be the only solution for some of them, but just wiping them manually is more effort than doing nothing, so I guess they will still be around for some time. And with SSDs, there is no reliableway delete all data.

With encryption? Just delete the key and you are done.

The threat model changes in the future? Easy, the data is already encrypted.

Google sold 40 million Pixels between 2016 and 2023, and that number has grown rapidly in the last few years. I think an estimate of around 40 million active Pixel phones is reasonable, which would give GrapheneOS a relative market share of 1%; certainly less than 2%.

Depending on the input method you use, you might be able to move your .XCompose file to ~/.config/X11/xcompose. Don’t let the X11 in there confuse you, I am using this with fcitx5 under Wayland.

That is not correct, gsconnect has no dependency on KDE Connect, it is an independent implementation of the same protocol, not a wrapper

Wait, so 0.2% of all Aurora Users are me?

No, Audacity is licensed as GPLv2+.

Audacity was bought in 2021 by Muse Group, and a few weeks later, they announced that they would introduce Google Analytics and Yandex-based “telemetry”. After strong criticism by the community, Muse Group backtracked, emphasized their commitment to the GPL license, dropped their plans to include Google/Yandex tracking, and instead opted for a self-hosted solution for bug reports and update checks. Both can be disabled, and some distributions disable them by default.

Still, a few forks emerged, Tenacity is the only one that is still actively being maintained. The last commit is from today, but their repository is at 16k commits, compared to 21k commit for Audacity, so it seems the two projects have diverged.

I did the same last week (and am still in the process of setting up more services for my new server). I have a few VMs (running Fedora CoreOS, with podman preinstalled), and I use ansible to push my quadlets, podman secrets, and static configuration files. Persistent data volumes get mounted using virtiofs from the host system, and the VMs are not supposed to contain any state themselves. The VMs are also provisioned using using ansible.

Do you use ansible to automatically restart changed containers after pushing your changes? So far, I just trigger a systemctl daemon-reload, but trigger restarts manually (which I guess is fine for development).

The last millennial to be born!

Yes, absolutely. Right now, SSDs are probably superior in comparison to HDDs in every category except for price (and long-term data integrity when switched off). But when you consider large parity raids and take into account the cost of electricity, even the price difference might only be small, making SSDs even more attractive.

Hmm. Let’s say I add 6 SSDs, 2TB each, for a total of 600€. In a RAID6 configuration, that gives me 8TB of storage. Compare that to a classical NAS with 2×8 TB HDDs for a total of 350€.

The HDDs will draw around 4W idle each, 8W in total. Assuming 0.3€/kWh, over a span of 5 years, that is approximately 100€. The power consumption of the SSDs will be negligible.

So, just in terms of storage, the SSD solution is around 33% more expensive over 5 years. If you include the cost of the NAS itself, the price increment is even less noticeable.

Very helpful. I was just looking at this the other day.

You can have untrusted peers in Syncthing that only receive an encrypted copy of your data.

I just checked, and I have connectivity while on cellular. Maybe (just wild speculation) your mobile network is IPv6-only? Android (not Linux) should list 192.0.0.4 as an IP address in that case.

Yes, Linux is running in a VM, and the network interface is a virtualized veth interface connected to a host bridge. The host android system has IP address 192.168.0.1, and this network interface is called avf_tap_fixed (as seen from termux).

While this is very exciting, I just tried it, and the network connectivity seems to be broken. No IPv6.

Building nuclear power plants is not a science problem, though, it’s an engineering problem. Just because we can harness energy by breaking up nuclear bonds does not mean that we can do so economically, given the constraints under which we have to operate power plants.

And OP never disputed the science anyways?
