Same. I've tried to automate this for Ubuntu-based desktops as well, but it didn't work out and I also ended up with Arch. Arch solves the problem by having a rolling release (no OS upgrades) and by keeping things minimal and bare

While DoH has benefits, the way Mozilla, Cloudflare propose to get it deployed is mostly detrimental to privacy, merely leaking and centralizing everyone's data to another party. Seems like decentralized overlay p2p networks is becomin

It's not. I'm just not going to accept authoritative arguments on security, sorry. If you have actual technical reasons, please give them. If you don't, that's fine too.

Some people at the top of the hierarchy push it and promote it, doesn't mean other people agree with any of it, they are just powerless against it. Why do you take it as society agrees I don't know, but I can understand why those

To be fair, there is no such thing as the morals of society. Morality is individual to everyone and is developed throughout everyone's whole lives. So the law cannot possibly be a stable version of morality. For example, in my morals i

If you want to be a gatekeeper, expect everyone more powerful to force you to do gatekeeping for them.

I found Xfce on Arch to be much nicer than Xubuntu. Xfce is just more aligned with Arch in spirit.

Please explain, how do you think making a promise not to read your messages is different from making a promise by the same company to have a working end-to-end encryption and not willing to compromise it, given the company has a complete co

by zzzcpan 7y ago
So? Encryption is still on by default and end-to-end encryption is a joke anyway when distribution of the app is controlled by the app developer. They can only pinky promise that it's there, but they can compromise it silently on a whi

Telegram is not a Russian company, it has encryption on by default and is literally famous for fighting "scary Russian government" and all those helping Russian government censor it, including the megacorps you for some reason ass

It's not even on f-droid. You install the binary they control and connect to the servers they run, it's literally a proprietary app, just like Telegram.

Yes, politically Telegram is in the best position between all three.

by zzzcpan 7y ago
You can monitor memory, swap usage, lots of things about each process and kill processes all from a userspace program.

by zzzcpan 7y ago
You can do it completely in userspace, that's the ultimate configurability.

Zswap is still backed by disk, it's better than a raw swap of course, but disk is still a problem. I fallback to zswap only if I can't use zram on a system.

by zzzcpan 7y ago
And you probably can't even find an environment these days where swap on disk works better than swap on zram, people are just unaware that it exists and how it performs. You can squeeze so much out of zram, it's ridiculous. I&#x27
