I was incredibly stupid when writing this comment. I meant torrent client. Fixed it.
Not PeerTube, but still ActivityPub: The Linux Experiment uses CastoPod, an ActivityPub-based podcast platform for his Linux & Open Source News show
It is a PC. In fact, a good PC. It runs Linux. But it's better than a ordinary Linux PC, since it also has an amazing console UI that's actually fun to use with a gamepad. It's the best of both worlds, and it's build on top of FOSS software. It's excellent.
Maybe bring back Tesseract? Why was it shut down in the first place?
Another idea I had: Hosting our own Matrix instance? That way, every community could create their own spaces while being independent from matrix.org and not putting more stress on their already overloaded servers. Running a modern Matrix server implementation like Conduit, which is written in Rust, shouldn't require as much resources.
Because I want a secure phone with relatively good specs, relatively good design, battery life and camera quality. And because it is one of the very few devices with a user-unlockable and re-lockable bootloader.
And we really have no idea how close of a relationship Google, or any other corp for that matter, has with various intelligence agencies
Ok let's assume this is true, and US intelligence agencies have actually backdoored all US phone manufacturers. What about foreign phones? If this was true, someone the NSA is interested in could just defend themselves by e.g. buying a Chinese phone. All this effort, just to be defeated by foreign phone manufacturers? It wouldn't be worth it, which is why it's so highly unlikely.
But it could be used for smaller scale surveillance, like targeted at specific individuals
Why would this only be present in Pixels then? Google isn't interested in specific people. Intelligence agencies are. This would mean, that every phone in the world needs to be compromised using this sophisticated, stealthy technology, which is even more unlikely.
Not today, but recently at work, I, a DevOps engineer specializing in Linux and other Unix/Unix-like systems, was given the task of doing some admin and maintenance work on a few Windows servers...
I FUCKING HATE WINDOWS
THIS OS MAKES NO SENSE AND ADMINISTERING IT IS A NIGHTMARE
FUCK MICROSOFT!
Yeah, but it sucks, because of the heavy constraints of MV3
Nah. The only thing root does is massively decrease security. To actually own your phone, you need to install a proper, FOSS, private and secure OS in the first place. Pixels are great, because they support GrapheneOS.
Yes, @oranki@lemmy.world wrote a great article about that: https://oranki.net/posts/2024-07-10-passkeys-on-grapheneos/
Sorry I meant to say torrent client
