Big surprise. 🙄

Sounds like a lot more effort than to simply cremate the bodies.

What the actual fuck.

It never was a democracy. The fact that the popular vote and the representative vote can produce different results proves this.

Yeah, good luck with that. Lawsuits and convictions have been working great so far against that orange twat waffle.

The U.S. has been doing stuff like this for a while in the war against terrorism, e.g. transporting suspects to other countries where they can be tortured for information.

Playing lots of RPGs and Jrpgs has trained my Patience. I never buy a game at full price, regardless of how much I want it. I simply wait for a sale until it’s below 35 euro.

Because everybody believes their bullshit snake oil.

PIVOT!!!

“Trusted officials”… Um… yeah, but no.

What I would like to know, where did these people get the phone numbers and names of the people they sent the texts to.

From what I’ve read, these texts included the recipients names.

I guess personal data in the U.S. is just a big all you can eat buffet?

Oh ffs.

I’m curious if anyone has ever done a longevity test. Rather than Io performance, I’m more interested in how quickly they wear out.

You can either describe what you want, or show a picture of a haircut that you like.

You could setup imapsync and sync your Gmail to a self hosted IMAP server and just never delete your mails.

Anyone else find it sad, that coming out is even necessary?

Check out dattobd sometime. It’s a tool that allows you to make a snapshot of a block device for backups, while the OS is running. Useful if your filesystem doesn’t support snapshots.

Gitea or forgejo, for hosting your repo and managing access rights. WoodpeckerCI when you eventually need a CI/CD. (Is a fork of DroneCI and integrates nicely with gitea.)

If the immutability in OS is well designed, then there shouldn’t be really an downsides or loss in comfort. That is, unless you’re a linux expert and like to tinker under the hood.

The general idea is, the core of the OS if read-only, and everything else that needs to be modified is mounted writeable. Ideally, protecting the core of the OS from writes, should for example prevent malware from installing a modified kernel or boot loader. Or maybe preventing the user from accidentally borking something so that their system becomes unbootable. How much of an advantage that is practice is dependent on use case. In the case of Steam OS on the steam deck, it’s perfect, since boot issues on the steam deck could potentially be tricky to fix as opposed to a standard PC.

Another advantage of immutable could theoretically be wear and tear of certain storage devices. e.g. Think of a raspberry PI and SDcards. If you could have most of the important stuff of the OS as read only on the SD card, and everything else on a usb disk or even an NFS mount, then the SD card should last much longer since no writes are happening on it.

As far as true security benefit is concerned… I can’t really say. It depends on how updates and eventual writes are actually handled to the immutable part of the OS. Obviously at some point, changes do happen. Like during a system update. In the case of Steam OS, The system portion is wiped and replaced the new version. Chimera OS, did something similar (I don’t know if they still use the same method). They had a read-only BTRFS partition, where they would then provide a new snapshot during an update, which would be downloaded and applied at the next reboot. This approach would hinder automated crypto malware for example (at least for system files).
