• AI slop and overworked developers (see the other threads in this post)

Yeah whatever, I’m not going to spend my time to see which bugs exactly they have all over.

Thanks a lot! This worked ✅

I remember something like this as well, but I suspect it changed with the last release or two. Currently, there is no “omni” in about:config.

Ah, I see. I guess this is how GrapheneOS does a “thank you” post.

Was a bit hard for me to recognize it as such, given no actual “we thank ***” and ending with “they refuse to stop doing it” (actually that was about somebody else, not tweakers.net).

Maybe my English skills are failing me, but what does it mean? They corrected their very old article, but not in a way that you’d like to?

My system is heating up

A small note on that. If you could live with the compilation speed but it’s annoying to have the CPU fans working all the time, you could address it by moving the CPU to a more power-efficient mode. Though that will only slow things down for you, and you’re saying it’s already slow and you’re running out of RAM, so maybe heat/fans are not your biggest concern.

Personally, I currently use intel CPUs. Old ones I could undervolt AND limit in watts, making them silent and reducing power usage by a third at the cost of ~5% performance. My current one doesn’t support undervolting sadly, and the options for wattage limits are also almost fully gone. What I use now is:

/etc/tmpfiles.d/cpu-prefer-powersafe.conf

# Possible values: default performance balance_performance balance_power power
w /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor - - - - powersave

Replacing “powersave” with “power” cuts the energy usage by half and makes the CPU fully silent at ~50 degrees… at the cost of 30% performance on this new CPU :(( Or keeping it as above, energy usage goes down somewhat (haven’t measured precisely), CPU mostly silent at 50-60 degrees, performance down by 15%.

OK probably I wrote waay too much 😅

Here, a person added GPL as a proposed alternative.

Too bad so few projects use the torrenting / DHT technology. Though I guess for GrapheneOS it makes less sense than for a lot of other projects, considering that it’s an OS update, and that mobile devices are battery-sensitive.

I somehow couldn’t bear the “self-scratch self-praise” top part of the post, but starting with
"But the balance is crucial" it was really interesting to read! Contrary to my initial fears, it’s not a self-praise post, but actually useful and talks about problems too.

Try this setting, I think it may be relevant to your case:

Android -> open Signal (or Molly) -> Settings -> Privacy -> Phone number -> Choose who can see your phone n…

Though you can cycle for free ^^
And that’s most frequently the fastest and easiest transport between two points in a city, by a margin.
(I’m still envious about the rail prices.)

I’m envious. In the Netherlands, you can only buy a train pass for 376 Euros. And that’s just the train: no buses, no trams, not even those faster “intercity” trains.

Agreed. Besides other things like non-old games on “old games” website as you say, they were also caught not enforcing DRM, even though their biggest selling point is DRM-free games. Nevertheless, with some exceptions, you generally get good stuff, and it’s a good and reputable store overall.

Pretty biased and low-quality article TBH.

1. They’re talking about this news from GOG, yet they don’t even link the official announcement. Only their own old news. Meh.

2. What GOG really introduced is a way to financially support GOG, for various small perks. Yet the article somehow infers that GOG is doing bad financially, without providing any links to that conclusion.

3. The view is quite capitalistic to be honest. Everything is looked at from the prism of money. Money this, money that. “Epic Games … burn money … decline … purchases …” (Yes, the news is for GOG but they’re discussing Epic Games.)

Anyway, GOG remains not an ideal place, but by far the best for-profit game distribution company I think. I have 10-20 games from that store, and I’m quite happy that my games are from there and not other platforms. All DRM-free.

Grok this grok that…
I’m sorry, but ***k grok. Stop posting about it.

disroot is quite decent. I like their (privacy) vibe and the set of semi-independent services they provide.

Yeah that’s a great idea! I use that too. An encrypted USB drive makes sure you can trust the data not leaking, and spaced repetition can (should) be practiced to memoize the password. Then you’re good I’d say.

Technically KeePass can “merge” and has some sort of conflict resolution, but you’re right that forgotten and unaddressed conflicts can lay around for unlimited time without you noticing. It’s the main problem with keepass + syncthing.

It’s a bit sad that you’re downvoted so hard. You obviously have good intentions, just not having a good grasp yet if I may be frank. The solutions in this post are what you should follow IMO. In short, USB thumb/hdd drives with your important data. Encrypt the whole USB if your devices are under Linux if you wish. Use a proper password manager like KeePass to secure it additionally, with a strong master password of course.

Wrong question. It doesn’t matter who was “first”.

If the first group stops, the problem is gone.
If the second group stops, the problem is not gone but likely growing.
