I’m confused by this comment, (and the up votes) OpenSnitch is the fully open source application. It even says so in the article.
“If I ever needed to track down which specific application is making suspicious outbound connections, I would turn to OpenSnitch, the fully open-source, community-driven application firewall for Linux. It is not as polished as the new Little Snitch port, but every line of its code is open for inspection and it does not ask for blind trust.”
Gotta keep that stock market moving.
Almost like he doesn’t work for the American people, eh?
I just can’t comprehend how much you’ve seen change in 112 years of life, that’s just insane. 1914-2026… Horse and buggies to automobiles, indoor plumbing, commercial flights, invention of television, the space race, personal computers, the internet, cellphones. Entire changes in farming and agriculture, just an unbelievable amount of change in society.
It depends on what kind of devices you’re using.
It’s my understanding that SIM cards in phones are just to tie an account and identity to your phone, for purposes of enforcing people to be paying customers for the phone/data services, and tracking your usage based on what level service you’re paying for and what you should receive (5GB of data monthly, unlimited texts, etc)
But if your phone doesn’t have a SIM card in it, its still connecting to cell towers for purposes of emergency dialing, and the phone itself can continue to be tracked by cell carriers based on what physical cell towers its connecting to, as you travel around. The cell phone modem itself can control and connect to networks independently of what the OS running on the phone tell it to do, its a self contained black box.
If you have something like a desktop or laptop, both Intel and AMD have “management engines” embedded in the CPU’s themselves that can take control of the device for purposes of shutting down, wiping, etc a company machine that has sensitive information or access on it, and has been reported stolen, not returned by an ex employee, etc. These management engines have direct access to the network stack and can phone home whenever a network connections is present, either from a WiFi network, physical Ethernet cable, or 4G/5G WWAN card.

If you have a device that is basically air gapped, no WiFi, no cellphone chip, no bluetooth, etc, than it’s still possible to exfiltrate information off the device, but the software running on the device would have to be programming to be searching for methods to do that. Your average device, unless it’s running malicious software, probably won’t be doing that.
The security conference DEFCON and other technical conferences are held every year at Vegas, I wonder if someone from DEFCON put it there, lol
I had messed around with Linux and failed for a while, as I was using dialup and was trying to get win modem drivers working under linux. Fast forward a few years later and I finally switched when i finally had broadband, and the concept a virtual machine was really becoming industry standard in late 2000’s, and I wanted to start experimenting with them, I hated trying to hunt down windows licenses for each VM I wanted to run, and I started messing around with Linux in VM’s as they were free. Thank Tux, I finally started running Ubuntu on my bare metal machines around Ubuntu 7.04 I think, my WiFi drivers “just worked” and it was magical.
Is calling voLTE audio working yet? I have the OP6T and have postmarketos edge installed but last time I updated it a few weeks ago voLTE still wasn’t working with audio in the calls. My last hold out to start using it as a daily driver.
They’re still gettin’ honey though, while the rest of us get stung. Him and his friends gets to buy the dip, or sell the top every time he decides to open his god damn mouth.
I’ve got a mediatek WiFi router that runs openwrt pretty well, lol thats all I can think of though.

It is advertised as AC1900, but the internal hardware is capable of AC2600 speeds and is able to operate at full 4×4:4 speeds with OpenWRT.
…I know how its supposed to work, I’m just saying instead of giving us healthcare and social nets we get to save money under our own responsibility, and then watch it get spent away in elder years. If you haven’t watched family members spend hundred of thousands on cancer care, or emergency room visits, etc, even though they ‘did the right thing’ and saved, you eventually will.
Also, thanks for calling me dumb. You’re quite a great person to converse with… Don’t bother replying, I won’t be reading any more of your comments because it will not be pleasant exchange of opinions, it seems…
And scheme, it is. They offloaded the responsibility of retirement planning from the employer and financial planners, to the individual. After Eron, obviously the existing system had problems, but now all the responsibility and financial risk has been punted to the individual, so society can say “well, its your own fault!” When you don’t have enough money in retirement years, as the lack of social nets and healthcare costs eat through what little you had saved. There’s no one to sue or blame but yourself at the end. Fun.
I think if you reframe the action, it’ll make more sense why people are upset about this.
The way you see it: Some idiots created a new law, this guy was just compying with an unenforceable law, and its unenforceable, so why are people even bothering to get upset. They’re not even using hardware assetation to force this yet. He was just doing his job to follow the law to get this software deployed.
If you reframe it to this, I think it’ll make more sense:
Some idiots created a new unenforceable law. Did anyone from the government specifically reach out to this software team and demand they add this field? Did the software in any way get blocked from being deployed? Its unenforceable, why even bother voluntarily adding features no one wants, for an unenforceable law? They’re not even using hardware assetation yet to force this. Why make the lives easier for people who want to ruin things, by voluntarily adding these features without even being demanded to?
No healthcare tho.
I stopped giving them my money when they helped overthrow democracy. Just acquire their content overseas…
I’m not a ROM developer but I had a Motorola phone and I could see why maybe it would have been ignored for custom ROMs, it had a few non-standard features that were great when using the phone, but I think a pain to support, it had a little touchpad in the bottom center that you could swipe your thumb on to do ‘gestures’ in android like back, recent apps, home, etc. I really liked it but its another weird feature you have to keep working when you’re supporting the phone after the manufacturer stopped providing updates.
That’s awesome! Can you describe your set up for vibe coding this? I’d like to take a look at porting postmarketOS linux, or ubports to some phones I have laying around.

Oh great, so there’s should be an economic collapse and housing crash right around the corner!
He forgot to blame Biden and the democrats.
