People want products that "just work" and I don't think it is fair to blame them for that. The problems mainly arise when the locked down stuff breaks or treats the user badly in some way, but even if stuff were not locked do

Don't forget how much of a pain packaging apps for end users is. There are helpful tools out there for it, but nothing that comes close to the ease of Go's default static builds that I have found.

I've been writing a literate multi-file program in Go and Copilot has been partially compensating for the lack of tooling support, especially since Copilot can infer from prose. I intend to make a post about my experience.

Magnet links can specify a name for the download ('dn'), tracker addreses to find peers ('tr') (but DHT can be used these days), and actual links to the files on the web via web seeds. However they can be as bare-bones

It's because 200 is correct if you are getting the correct image. I believe you're meant to hotlink the images in an HTML error page when your site returns the given code.

See gridcoin, it is a proof of stake currency where you can additionally earn coins via mostly useful scientific computing. It's a neat project, but it gives effective control to the boinc server managers. The users have to sign up to

Using it for fixing availability is fine, but I disagree that it provides protection. I don't deny that in theory someone could deploy a Firefox zero day that steals ssh keys and that having an abnormal setup via docker could throw a w

As others said, you don't need to redirect the keyboard if you don't use a USB qube. Points 2 and 3 you're right about. You can convert virtualbox VMs to qubes hvms[1] although it requires a bit of CLI work. [1] https:/&

Related, see https://gerda.tech/ which is a KaiOS fork (and therefore in the FirefoxOS family) I wonder if Capyloon can run FirefoxOS apps like Kai can.

I know you said no Android roms, but GrapheneOS can be installed from a website over webUSB in just a couple steps. It's as simple as enabling OEM unlocking and clicking install - just make sure you have a supported non-carrier variant

I run Windows inside Qubes for work and get by well, but of course I took the time to learn how to do that and have a beefy workstation. I also don't have any special requirements for GPU acceleration or other hardware usage. Side note

I think part of the problem is that even people who don't want to drive or hate driving are all but forced to do it in many areas because of lack of other "affordable" options. More work from home has improved that at least.

Shallot (at least that version) is for v2 onions only which are truncated sha1 hashes of RSA keys. v3 onions are base32-encoded ed25519 so 7 characters translates to needing to force 35 bits of ed25519, which according to [2] should be in t
