The title for this blog post should be "I Miss BSD/Linux for Apple devices". Unsurprisingly, if you buy hardware from one of the most FLOSS hostile hardware manufacturers in existence, your BSD/Linux experience will not

It sounds like upon expiry, you could redirect all 80/443 traffic to the same node, serving an error page. In my mind, that's better than having to install a client.

This sounds very similar to Head- or Tailscale, nice to see some alternatives to managing wireguard networks. Is there a comparison anywhere to understand what functionality overlaps, what is added, what differs and what will perhaps never

If you have plenty of money, I’m curious how you define “expensive” (since it’s clearly not whether it affects your personal economy or not) — what’s cheaper than mcdonald’s, or better at the same price point?

Exactly, this tip only applies if you reconfigured ssh to automatically forward agent to all hosts, which is absolutely insane.

I always set up two passkeys, one in iOS and one in bitwarden. I use the former on my phone (obviously) and the latter on desktop, in addition to “normal” logins with 2FA. I haven’t had a single issue yet, and while I accept that it would b

Also only free for non-commercial use since it’s “extended” support, but it’s relatively affordable if you’re in a pinch and must buy it.

If you’re ever feeling adventurous, I would suggest trying out Debian with XFCE instead of Xubuntu. I recently migrated and even though the installation isn’t as pretty, I find both the installation and the distribution itself to be much mo

Because functionality isn’t the only thing everyone cares about, I use Forgejo for ideological reasons and so do probably most people since it’s mainly an ideological fork. Why would it not be worth mentioning? The question is quite strange

Strategically this makes sense if the goal is just to get people to use Thunderbird, but ideologically JMAP support would be a lot nicer in my opinion.

For a lot of people, myself included, it’s ideological. It’s not about “feeling bad” for gigantic corporations, it’s about what FLOSS stands for. Something either is or isn’t free software, and for a lot of people that doesn’t matter, but i

Booting off USB sticks is still done all the time and it's (almost) literally the same thing. Doing it in combination with encrypted persistence support as available in Debian for example can be really nice.

This sounds like something that could be useful for immutable distros like Vanilla and others, but I wonder how practical it is if it’s not part of the kernel.

What is constantly overlooked here on HN is that in legal terms, one of the most important things is intent . Commenters on HN always approach legal issues from a technical perspective but that is simply not how the judicial system works.

I'm a fan of Alpine too, but I want to point out that to the best of my knowledge at least, running root from RAM is trivial and is not something you need to change distros for, you simply have to add the "toram" kernel boot

You don’t need to be an expert on Russian foreign policy to conclude from nothing but that final quote that Russia (rather, Putin) never had any serious desire to join Nato in the first place. Putins views on Russia may have been more widel
