18·3 个月前Their papers should be just a uno reverse card and a one way ticket to Europe.

From the new fork https://web.archive.org/web/20260107095954/https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1q1we4e/the_revanced_situation_is_crazy_a_new_project/
From ReVanced side
A major contributor submitted a big core change (fingerprint/patcher internals). Maintainers pushed back hard on design and maintainability. The contributor felt stonewalled, got personal, and eventually left. After leaving, they forked the project, copied large chunks of code, squashed commits, stripped contributor history, and allegedly violated GPLv3 rules by changing licensing and attribution. That’s the heart of the dispute.
From there, both sides started accusing each other of bad faith, harassment, threats, ego, gatekeeping, you name it. A small group rallied around the fork and started saying “ReVanced is dead” which… yeah, that’s the part that caused panic. – AI generated summary of a 40~ pg document that someone from ReVance uploaded
Basically the contributor proposed a major redesign to the patcher’s fingerprint system that worked short term but papered over deeper limitations. The maintainers saw it as a band-aid approach that would lock in technical debt and cause long term maintenance problems, so after extensive review they rejected it and pushed for a more fundamental solution instead. The contributor took that personally, issued merge-or-else ultimatums, then left. After leaving, they copied large parts of the code into a new repo, rewrote history to remove attribution, changed licensing in ways that likely violate GPLv3, and went public claiming ReVanced was “hostile” or “dead”. … For context, the fingerprint system is how ReVanced finds the right parts of YouTube’s code to modify even as YouTube updates and shuffles things around. Inefficient or overly abstract changes increase the chance of things breaking later. The contributor wanted a quick duct-tape style fix, the maintainers wanted a proper redesign, and it all spiraled from there.

6·4 个月前So Linux is a collection of different software, companies and volunteers. If you think of cars Linux is basically a paper design of an engine that anyone can use for free. Then Ferrari, Toyota, ford and all the other companies build their own physical engine on top of that. Some of the companies have “dealerships” or support but they primarily cost a lot of money and cater to companies, not people. There’s no Linux store the way there would be an apple or Microsoft store.
The comments here are right, in that most computer repair shops should be able to figure it out the same way you can take almost any car to almost any general mechanic. There might be some complicated issues that requires someone who’s good with that specific brand, but a basic install isn’t super complicated in the same way changing the oil on a car should be straightforward for all mechanics.
Since you’re in a rural community you can either do it yourself, try to find another computer repair shop, or ask a friend/family member nicely in exchange for food, money, whatever (please don’t assume this person wants to be your dedicated support person). Linux is great and it can be pretty straightforward if you dedicate some time to learning.
If you do it yourself or have a friend do it:
- buy 2 flash drives that are at least 8GB
- go to windows website and download the windows 11 media creation tool.
- run the media creation tool, select one of your usb drives and go through the steps to create a “bootable USB for windows 11”. This is your failsafe if anything goes wrong. Label the usb and put it somewhere safe.
- find a “brand” aka distro that you like. Visit their websites and look at the pictures, themes etc. Friendly options are zorinOS, Linux Mint, and Ubuntu. Framework’s website has some options and instructions.
- follow that distros instructions or the instructions on framework’s website to create a second “bootable USB”. Don’t use the same one you used for windows.
- The next steps will erase everything on the framework laptop including windows 11/10. Follow your specific guide.
242·4 个月前GUI for managing fingerprints/PAM that allows complicated or at least some customization with PAM such as requiring password on first login then allowing graphical fingerprints for sudo, unlock and other prompts with fallback to password.
5·5 个月前1GB is probably enough to run one basic service without a GUI. If you want anything more than that you’re going to probably end up running out of RAM and hitting the SWAP file–grinding everything to a snail’s pace. Useful projects here might be to add smarts to something dumb around the house or making an old printer support wireless printing via cups.
Like others have said if you want to tinker, a virtual machine via virtualbox or VMware is free for your use case.
If you strongly prefer hardware, an old PC will probably be cheap or free.
If you really want a pi you’ll probably have to look for something that has at minimum 4Gb (which will be easy to outgrow), recommending 8GB+. Note that raspberry pi’s run best on the official power plug as a USB-a to micro/c won’t provide enough power to be stable and will cause weird issues or crash the pi under heavier loads or when drawing power from the pins.
I googled the echo flex and I don’t see any evidence someone has gotten the bootloader unlocked or have been able to install a custom ROM/OS. Depending on the generation the flex is based on, it could be Linux or android based. Have you been able to access the os on your devices? If not, you might have a lot of work on your hands to get enough access to install any kind of non-stock OS.
My understanding is that hba cards support virtualization better than passing sata directly through. But if you’re not virtualizing the NAS, I wouldn’t see an issue with a reputable motherboard that has enough sata ports at 6 Gbps.
For the cheaper expansion cards I’d see that as a central point of failure and would recommend an hba card over a cheaper alternative.
129·6 个月前Overall the marketing is dishonest/over promises and there’s some previous lack of transparency with data breaches along with being closed source. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NordVPN#Criticism

It’s apparently real.
Define “due taxes”? It’s all a net loss bc “we” paid so much in nontaxable stock options to our senior leadership so they could borrow more money and buy a 2nd plane to get from their private island to their new boat.
Which could end up with the supreme Court reviewing if a presidents broad powers can override the first amendment.
Power bank would be the term or battery brick/bank if you wanted to meld both terms.
If it’s like a vpn interface, it’s still running as a deamon in the background even if the browsers are closed.
Like others have said you can check what application is using each open port. You can also check running processes (ps | grep keywords) and interfaces (ip a).

The anti pizza index fund line item seems kinda funny.
“Randomly purchase N boxes of pizza near offices with a 65% chance once a month” Assuming pizza is disposed immediately to prevent fraud waste and abuse of funds from an unauthorized pizza party.
Fonts do have patents and copywrite laws as “works of art” or in the methods to convert what you see on a computer to your printer or whatnot. For example here’s the history of Calibri:
