I mean what, am I supposed to be ‘preemptively mad’ because they might become worse one day?

Like I don’t understand why I’m supposed to be mad, it’s a service that’s useful and good, maybe it won’t be one day but what am I going to do about that?

I’m surprised about the satisfactory reference, that game never ran particularly well for me once I was a ways in with lots of stuff built up.

It has a huge impact for me, most notably unreal engine because of how poorly most games made with it run, and it visually looking very soft or blurry in some games. So it’s something I check before looking at buying a game.

If you have a need for high levels of privacy it’s the only way to do it, or just leave your phone at home.

It doesn’t really defeat the purpose of having a mobile phone either IMO, most stuff I do on my phone is already offline (maps, notes, taking photos, etc).

I’d just check their website: https://librewolf.net/installation/linux/

Yet another one of these systems, they pop up every year or so. They’re always less effecient than a chain, and rather pointless as pedaling normally on an ebike works better anyways.

Would need to disable the cell radios, wifi and bluetooth too since those are also used to track device location.

In that case another degoogled ROM sounds more like what you’re after?

Graphenes thing is hardware security.

Yeah a voltage regulator would be a bad idea, however a well designed DC-DC buck converter can be in the 95%+ efficiency range and produce very little heat.

The Pi can actually be higher in some cases in my experience.

I have a pair of passively cooled PCs with i3-7100u CPUs, RAM, and a single NVMe drive each, and they draw around 1-2W when idle.

Digikey has the official espressif dev boards, if you want decent quality ones.

That’s pretty much all blockchain stuff tbh, it’s all centralized to the extreme around 1 or a few major services.

The Pixel phones were the only devices with secure enough hardware to make GrapheneOS viable, that’s why they developed it for them.

It wasn’t because of some deal with google or anything like that.

That’s awfully optimistic lol

Yeah.

Ah I see, so it wasn’t about the downloads but that he had to tap a button.

It’s a much better system with manual downloads anyways, since you know you have all the maps for a region available offline, vs with most mapping apps you have no idea and could just end up with no maps loaded.

Not open source is an absolute no for me.

I use zram only with no swap on the SSD for my laptop/desktop.

For my server it has zram too but with extra low priority swap on the SSD just in case zram gets full up.

That is bizarre, how else would he see maps unless they were downloaded? Have them all included in the app for the entire world and have it be 500GB install or something?

Mostly just quick notes in Obsidian, if I do anything complex or ‘unusual’ to set something up I’ll save the history that I ran.
