You don't need a single autonomous domain, you just need a web of trust where other hosts are allowed to send trackbacks/webmentions to your site once they prove free from abuse. That's essentially how the Fediverse works -

Gaming handheld would give you that. There are also old Intel-Atom based tablet PC's that are quite cheap on the second-hand market, and work well with Linux. Smartphone/palmtop form factor would be harder though.

The Android approach is among the most "complicated to set up and use" (since it's based on SELinux under the hood) but the OEM does that for you. There's no reason why Linux distros couldn't do the same thing usin

Does this help with camera support on old Intel BayTrail hardware? If not, what's needed to make that work? (Asking since that HW turns out to be quite cheap and widely available on the used-items market.)

The biggest hurdle to getting AOSP-kernel features into the upstream kernel is not clang or Rust, it's cleaning up hacked-together kernel code in a way that makes it long-term acceptable to upstream maintainers. (And getting rid of us

If you run your npm install in a properly set up container (and at some point in the future, Flatpak will set this up for you), it isn't going to do much. Yes, I'm well aware that containers should still be tought of as "not

Yes you can run a GSI (and project Droidian does that) but then you're dependent on a downstream kernel and Android-ish early boot environment, that will likely lead to pointless incompatibilities compared to a fully-upstreamed approac

You can use the downstream kernel directly via Droidian (a Mobian-derived GSI image). But otherwise the downstream kernels and device trees tend to be useless from an upstream development perspective - too hacked together and not maintaina

Yes but the performance practice is way different. Modern pop singing uses a "crooning" performance style that's totally unfeasible without the modern microphone and electric amplification. Even musicals singers can affor

The nice thing about a vaguely English like language is that your average LLM is going to do a better job of making sense of it. Because it can leverage its learnings from the entire training set, not just the code-specific portion of it.

Often enough, hardware-specific optimizations can be performed automatically by the compiler. On the flip side, depending on a small set of general-purpose primitives makes it easier to apply hardware-agnostic optimization passes to the mo
