Which is a real shame. I can definitely see some value in winepak, and flatpaks could be built from Lutris install scripts, etc. I don't have much interest in windows apps, but I wouldn't mind donating a bit of money (as opposed t

It's a shame winepak never really took off https://www.winepak.org/ To make this clear, there hasn't been much activity since 2018: https://github.com/winepak/winepak

Android office apps seem to work for me via waydroid. Otherwise, web office seems to be enough for 90% of people (where libreoffice and onlyoffice already seem to cover the needs for 70%). Of course, you might have a very specific need for

On the other hand, maybe we'll get to perform more long-term thinking. Long-term issues like climate change might get easier to tackle.

No, I got rid of it for multiple other reasons: started using a mechanical watch again, got rid of all proprietary software on my phone (though I used gadgetbridge for a while), realized anybody could just track me as the band was broadcast

Right, my bad. I now read the article, the technique is intriguing, but I can't say much more for lack of details!

Could this get implemented in userspace with BPF used to offload some processing in kernel space? Could this be implemented in an unprivileged process?

HTTP/1.1 is so simple that I can just open up netcat and ask a webpage from a website by hand. And this is not even my field. Now, you can also build a lot of complexity upon it. And while the simplicity is nice for inspecting and debu

You are assuming the signal is strong enough to be read at a distance. I just used the RSSI, and going away a few meters was enough. Moreover, since that was just a nicety in case I forgot to lock my computer during a corridor conversation,

Of course, this is a kill switch, but that's usually detectable if the attacker is sophisticated enough. Plus, they can always backup the disk before. Plausible deniability lets you pretend you do not have incriminating data, but it&#x

I once wrote a script to automatically lock my computer if I got too far away from it, back when I was wearing a bluetooth wristband. I guess you could do the same, but shut down the computer instead.

I'm a bit disappointed this is just accessing a service you expose as a hidden service, not a p2p NAT traversal service that happens to perform a handshake on Tor. IPFS p2p is also usable for that kind of thing (and will perform NAT tr

Are you going to run Apple software on your servers? Most servers leverage the Linux ecosystem, most of which is open-source and maintained by developers who do not have big $$$. M1 probably enables the same transition for customer-orient
