My experience is that SMBs are generally not run by people who feel confident doing any kind of self managed IT. No amount of LLM usage is going to change them into full stack vibe coders who moonlight as sysadmins. I just don't see it

I am sure you know this, but just in case: Europe is a continent, with many disparate nations and cultures. This continent is not hostile towards Graphene users. In Europe there is the European Union (EU), which also is comprised of many di

When this whole thing got announced, I purchased a new Pixel 9 and flashed it with GrapheneOS. I am hoping that in about 6-8 years (when I realistically need to update) the landscape might be a bit better. Or who knows, maybe I'll just
