Until homeomorphic encryption becomes a thing, cloud can’t be secure or private.
Why do you need homeomorphic encryption? Isn’t client-side encryption good enough for most use cases?
Using your shared libraries is always a good thing, no? Like your distro’s packages should always have the latest security fixes and such, while flatpaks require a separate upgrade path.
Access to your entire filesystem, however, I agree with you on.
Unpopular opinion: Gnome software is pretty solid, and if your computer usage patterns overlap with their design, it is quite a lovely DE. I’d rather have something that works well, even if it doesn’t do everything under the sun.
Yes we should allow them, because the problem isn’t that this tool is available. The problem is that cars and other devices aren’t more secure.
If you broke into a bank vault with a screwdriver, you don’t ban screwdrivers; you get mad at the bank.
I’d like Gentoo ebuilds to run in a fully isolated namespace/container with only the dependencies explicitly enabled by portage configuration. Something like a mix of nix but with the ebuild syntax.
Yes, this. Don’t put your whole home directory in git.
Pine and BeagleBoard have some decent options, but they’ll always be more expensive than rpi because of the economy of scale.
Chiming in to also recommend Gentoo. It’s a pretty stable rolling release distro, with access to pretty new packages when necessary.
Snaps just aren’t ready yet.
Go for it then! Gentoo is a blast (if you enjoy this sort of thing) and is surprisingly stable once you get it set up.
One tip, before I forget, is to save your firmware from MacOS before wiping the drive. Unfortunately I don’t remember where it’s located, and no longer have access to try and find it 😅
You’ll need to be a bit more specific about the iMac. What year is it?
If it’s pre-2017, I’d expect some difficulty with the WiFi. If it’s newer, you might have luck with https://wiki.t2linux.org/distributions/gentoo/installation/ . I haven’t followed that guide, so YMMV.
Bit of pedantry, but ~/boot
expands to something like /home/username/boot
.
/boot
is a folder at the root of your filesystem, while ~/boot
is a directory in your home folder.
I recently discovered emerge --jobs 8 --load-average 8
instead of just make -j8
. Not gonna help much on a 900MHz pentium, but it has really sped up my build times.
Inserting/updating a link rel=“icon” … tag is one approach.
Let me preface this by saying I don’t see the value of 99% of NFTs either, but it is technically possible to make one that stores the image on the blockchain or on IPFS. Most don’t, obviously, but it is possible.
