I think Sam Altman doesn’t want you to know about /dev/shm

Yeah /dev/sda

Just VPN is sufficient and don’t get fooled by a lot of VPN adverts. Almost all of the internet uses SSL so even if you directly connect to public WiFi no-one can just snoop on your passwords or anything else. The only thing they will be able to see is the website you are visiting. Same as your ISP whether it’s some telco, VPN, or Google.

I can understand you not wanting to share which website you visit to google but if you are not careful Google will find out one way or the other. Even if you use VPN or Tor

And as already mentioned never do Tor over VPN or VPN over Tor unless you know exactly what you are doing and what are the risk associated with them.

If you are worried about state actors with compromised rootCA and DNS then Tor can help you there but if they are using this to spy on you then just bypassing it can also put you on a list

Um quick question does it know all about my financial obligations and if it sees I’m f*cked does it recommend higher salary???

Umm… apart from my ARR setup and few specific apps and websites. I use Tor and I2P for almost everything.

And for doomsday scenario I’ve several physical books I love and won’t mind re-reading until the heat death. Also I’ve downloaded several GBs of EPUBs I still have to get to… I think I’ll be alright.

To me Pluto will always be the 9th planet no matter what some fancy pants says it not being able to clean up its orbit. My home is also a little messy that doesn’t mean it’s not home.

Embrace. Extend. Extinguish

Graphene OS Team has developed quite a lot of other useful features and some of them have even been merged into upstream AOSP allowing others also the benefits. Recent example is contact scope for apps starting Android 17 but it was initially developed by GrapheneOS team long ago.

Pick and learn any programming language. If you know 1 you can read and understand almost all of them.

For open source contributions my approach is, I use almost all the open source apps, tools, etc. And when I want to do something that isn’t supported or if something doesn’t work the way you want you can just check the source code and fix it. I’m not a Kotlin developer but I’ve contributed to several apps I use daily. Usually the community is also helpful if I’ve made a mistake or if something should be done in a different way for a language the PR Reviewer will just point it out I learn something new fix it and send it again.

Me cooking with a clay pot over a open fire

The only reason is f*ck snap and Ubuntu for forcing it onto users

The real answer is management needs atleast 3-5 meetings to first discuss this with 10 developers 10 upstream developers 10 downstreams developers and business team for all. And after we spent 2-4 weeks of all this a lone developer who’s been saying we just screw it in gets the approval to do exactly that

Nah… If you use of=/dev/sda it won’t touch your main drive \s

You know you can do in-place upgrades. I never faced any issues despite the warnings on the doc. Though I always try to do the in-place upgrade on a template clone first to see what I’m in store for. Like sometimes tmpfs needs to be increased…

Deal of art

I’ve never built a full ISO or Libre kernel specifically. But, For debugging few issues in my laptop I’ve built the kernel for qubes OS and app VMs. But from your description it sounds like you just want to disable certain modules. That can easily be achieved by updating the .config for the kernel and if needed you can add the patches to the kernel from Linus (Qubes is already adding few) check out https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-linux-kernel

you can also use Qubes builder v2 to create rpm packages in secure way.

No. AOSP itself has little to no tracking. All the tracking/spying comes from Google Play Services which are automatically updated to the latest version. Also those are installed as system apps so they have greater access to OS functionality and normally you won’t be able to change the permissions.

In my case I need one app for generating RSA token to login to system. But somehow it works on GrapheneOS. I have created separate profile for that and installed just that 1 app. And during registration we need internet access after that that’s not even needed so I’ve even disabled internet access. And it still works. Check if something similar can be done in your case. But be careful some companies force you to BYOD but then restrict saying you can’t root or use custom ROMs.
