It is an option, but not a particularly good one seeing as it’s run by amazon. I personally use Signal just because it’s popular, but Wire seems equally good, and I’m glad they exist to provide competition.
FactorioI do that early game, but eventually I need night vision for combat, and then I just stop.

The server is physically connected to my laptop with only a switch in between. However, my Qubesos config has two routers (one of which is a firewall) between the hardware and what I’m actually working on. I checked with curl, and I have access to ports 2049 and 111, as well as the webui on 443.
The one problem I have with VLC is that it waits to read the next file from disk until it’s time to play it, which can be disconcerting when switching from one track to the next.
If you use cue/flac, then you don’t need to worry about this. VLC 4.0 will fix the problem, but until then I find strawberry to be an adequate solution.
Strawberry is paywalled on windows, but WSL would be worth a try, and clementine, which strawberry is based on, is not.

I don’t think that one’s been made for Youtube yet.

You can daisy chain displayport, as long as you have the bandwidth for it. I think the real issue is not how many monitors, but just how many pixels you’re trying to drive. Since secondary monitors are typically 1080p, the whole collection of them should be the same as a 4k main monitor.
Are you talking about business email or personal email. For myself, I use mailbox.org, which is based in Germany (relatively good in the modern world). They also provide encryption at rest by pgp if you request it, which isn’t nothing I guess.

For the sake of accuracy: Incoming emails from external services are initially not encrypted. It’s only truly zero knowledge for either emails sent by another tuta user, or for emails that have already been received.
That being said, they don’t record this information unless specifically required by a court order, which to my knowledge has never happened. I understand that they make the decision of whether your account is spam within 48 hours, and after that it is in the clear. I created my account over Tor, didn’t use it much at all for the first few days, and have been using it fine since. That’s only one data point of course.
Interesting that this happens in Ireland, which is known for capitulating to big tech (because they’re a tax haven). Almost like this is not actually about restricting the ability of big tech to cause damage.
I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say here. To clarify, telegram uses a store-forward architecture, meaning that it deletes messages from the server once they have been received by everyone. Until that time, the messages are stored on the server in plaintext, unless you’re using a secret chat. They do this to avoid having to exchange keys between different clients, but what that really means is that it isn’t actually private most of the time.
By default, yes. It is possible to create a so-called secret chat, which is standard for signal and similar, but that’s something you have to manually do. Furthermore, it’s not even possible to make secret chats for groups. When it was initially released, I was cautiously optimistic that it could turn into a good, secure application, but knowing it’s been this long and it hasn’t, I wouldn’t consider that likely.
PC GamingHID means a human interface device, so most commonly a keyboard, but remote controls can and do use the same protocol just fine.
It’s easy to find a TV with USB-C input, though not universal. That still uses the DP protocol, and cables with different connectors on opposite ends are both cheaper and more common than those with HDMI as a result. Also, this is only even an issue if HDMI 2.0 isn’t fast enough for you, so old devices aren’t a concern.
I’ve never actually used CEC, but everything I’ve seen says it’s just like a USB HID, correct? According to wikipedia, there already exist USB to CEC adapters.
Yes, but that adds more cost. I don’t have any hard data on this, but it feels like their current solution works fine, since anyone using more data than 2160p60, who also won’t accept chroma subsampling, probably is already using DP. Maybe this is a direction to pressure the HDMI forum, since unlike AMD, valve’s drivers are actually open source on the majority of their users’ machines. And if things change in the future, external adapters or proprietary adapters are both solutions.
All of these supposed advantages are solved by USB-C though. Even the length is higher (5m, I believe). I’d be fine if the DisplayPort connector is gone, but the actual standard is just better for most purposes.
That’s still a licensing issue: you’re not allowed to license from the HDMI consortium and then freely sublicense to all your users, which is what open source requires. Hopefully this eventually concludes in the end of relevance for HDMI and we can have a freer, and just better ecosystem in general.

The thing is, trusted computing as a security feature isn’t useless. For the particular case of phones, people generally use relatively low entropy passwords, because it’s impractical to do otherwise. The Titan chip uses trusted computing technologies to ensure that an attacker with physical access cannot bruteforce the password, which it does by forcing a timeout between successive attempts. It might do other things too, this isn’t my area of expertise, but (I believe) it isn’t needed for the general functioning of the device, as opposed to e.g. the intel ME.
Of course, a security chip that you have the power to control would be better, and no less secure, but that doesn’t exist. However, neither the OS itself not the apps directly depend on trusted computing. Otherwise GrapheneOS couldn’t exist in the first place.
Note that this problem doesn’t exist on desktops or laptops: it is entirely possible to memorize a passphrase around 96 bits of entropy, which is high enough that it can’t practically be bruteforced, especially if the algorithm to check if it is correct is computationally slow.
So, you lost a bit of sovereignty for your phone in the interest of security, but phones aren’t private to begin with: the actual modem also uses trusted computing. The devs behind GrapheneOS considered this the best solution to the problem, after weighing the pros and cons. Personally, I’d be happy to have a flip phone which has no password, and then do everything of significance (possibly including call and SMS) on my laptop. That is to say, I’d rather I didn’t have to use GrapheneOS, but it’s compromises align well with my own for now.
Privacy@lemmy.ml
One thing that’s worth keeping in mind: physical retailers may have cameras, but they (in general) rotate their recordings and don’t provide an API for law enforcement. By contrast, any data that an online service gets is probably stored forever, possibly across multiple companies. If you do pick up the online package at a physical store, then you’re losing most of the benefits, so you also need to provide an address.
That being said, much of China and some of the US have significant outdoor surveillance camera networks. These usually do provide law enforcement with real time, AI search, and may keep recordings for a very long
For me, as a Canadian, I’d consider physical stores more private, maybe putting on generic clothing and a mask if it’s really important. If your city has its own surveillance system, that might be different for you. Though really, in that case, you should be more concerned about pushing for the cameras to be removed, or failing that looking into moving elsewhere: it is not sufficient to have privacy only online, only from major storefronts.
It is an option, but not a particularly good one seeing as it’s run by amazon. I personally use Signal just because it’s popular, but Wire seems equally good, and I’m glad they exist to provide competition.
I do that early game, but eventually I need night vision for combat, and then I just stop.
The server is physically connected to my laptop with only a switch in between. However, my Qubesos config has two routers (one of which is a firewall) between the hardware and what I’m actually working on. I checked with curl, and I have access to ports 2049 and 111, as well as the webui on 443.
nfs under QubesOS
I am trying to mount an nfs share from my local network using qubesos. I know that the same configuration works on a different debian machine, but it doesn’t work under an app VM, creating the following error:

Should I use the default firefox on Qubes OS
I’m installing Qubes OS for the first time, and I was wondering if there is any disadvantage to installing librewolf (or something similar) as my primary browser instead of default firefox?

Setting up LaTeX on debian?
I recently decided that I want my resume to look better than the result of libreoffice. I installed texlive from the default trixie repository, and it works for the very simplest cases. However, trying to render a template which depends on CurVe resulted in an error about missing sty files.
