Because ARM is a fucking mess. Each device has it’s own way of booting. There’s no standard like UEFI or BIOS.

Plus you need propreitary code for modem to support 2G, 3G, 4G…etc. which are complicated to implement.

Who provides free cloud VM?

You can use GitHub.

Well, I can’t say they don’t deserve it.

No. Offline password managers are also suspectible to supply chain risk.

It is e2e encrypted and just works. Everything in Firefox Sync is encrypted including Bookmarks, History, Passwords etc.

Read GPL v3 and why it was introduced in the first place. Code being open source won’t do much.

Home Assistant OS on Raspberry Pi 5. Simple and maintenance free.

Same setup here. Worked for years and I’ve no plans to switch. As long as Nextcloud is up, bidirectional editing is simple. Trouble comes when one of the clients edited the KeePass file and can’t sync.

banIP works at IP layer. It basically injects additional firewall rules to nftable to reject packets from specific set of IP addresses. It is not aware of layer 7 like HTTP.

What is your goal exactly? Do you want to allow /.well-known to all countries including the bad ones you are blocking? Then you’ve to do it at application layer or setup a reverse proxy that has WAF (Web Application Firewall) and serve ./well-known from the proxy.

Good for you. I use OpenWrt on a decent router yet it’s so flexible. I can create multiple VLANs with different firewall rules, multiple APs, Ad and IP blocking etc.

Honestly I can’t imagine going back to a shitty ISP router ever.

Update your browser or OS. It’s all good here.

Poor Windows. It got caught in the hands of middle and upper management who absolutely have no clue what they are trying to do. Last time I used Windows 11, it looked horrible with each app using different design language and tonnes of MSN stories, advertisements etc. Is that what they are calling AI? It didn’t help with any of the task I needed to complete and was more annoying than anything.

I’m definitely not against AI and in fact I wish AI becomes much efficient so it can run on local machines. I can see it is useful in many areas like translation, video compression, accessibilty tools, code reviews, grammar check, writing etc. But shoving it everywhere makes me puke. It’s waste of time, power, minerals, water and also investor money.

Get real Microsoft.

That repo does not have any source code or license. The license file has a link to their terms & conditions.

Agree. Saying TPM is bad is same as saying Encryption is bad. It’s not about the technology. It’s about the evil hearted corporations using these technologies to limit user freedom.

I replaced Raspberry Pis with Intel NUC mainly because NUC comes with TPM 2.0. I can now encrypt my drives without storing the key in plaintext.

I could not read the blog because it blocked me for using VPN (speaking of DRMs :) ). While I agree DRM is evil and should be ablolished from user’s computers, readers should not get wrong idea about TPM. It’s what protects your phone and servers from attackers. Desktop would also benefit from it a lot.

I could not find the license or source code for their desktop app. Is it even open source?

That too on ARM. Whereas modern applications on Windows (and Mac, Linux) even on high performance x86 sucks so much. Slack and Chrome are two of the worst pieces of software ever designed by humans.

It’s the Supreme Court of India not Telangana which is a state in India.

That was a rhetorical qustion. It’s their servers which generates the key. So Telegram has both the lock and the key and claim they are “heavily encrypted”.
