This is the only way for me.

No Amazon or Google or Nvidia stuff. Just an old PC, a cheap wireless keyboard with a touchpad and you are good to go.

Well … you see, we would like to help, but there are just more important things in this budget.

Like the ~900m financial aid to India. (A country with a quite successful space program, and currently a part of Russia’s Oil laundering machine.)

Or like the ~600m financial aid to the PRC. (A country with a far superior space program than ours, and a weapons supplier to Russia.)

Oh and don’t forget the measly but oh so important 24m financial aid for bicycle paths in Peru.

So you see, there is simply nothing we can do, ukraine is just not important enough ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yes!

Yes, they should have been wiped. (and then they should have been fed into a blender if i had my way.) :)

Please do not sell used enterprise hard drives, especially if you got them from your employer. This is how those emberrasing company secrets get leaked and we can’t have that can we? :)

Wiki

I never really understood that:

If I’m using my browser to do banking via the website, Having root privileges and tampering with the Browser running the applications is not an issue.

If i use the banking app, Having root privileges suddenly become a problem.

–> To me, it doesn’t look like the problem is technical, but that users are accepting things on mobile that they wouldn’t accept on a PC.

Honourable mention for Sailfish OS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailfish_OS

The commercial version comes with an android emulator.

It’s not recommended for non-technical people, it sometimes crashes, it has random bugs that will drive you insane, and currently the weather app can’t connect to the service that provides the weather data.

But:

The people making it are not seeing you as the product and you will be free of all the bullshit.

… and i love it :)

I verry much like OMV, simply because i could use it with knowledge i already have.

It is a Debian system -> I understand that

It uses normal RAID and ext4 -> I understand that (Plus, if things go wrong, I can just pop the drives back into any other computer and use it without much fuss)

It has a rSnapshot plug in -> I already used that in the past.

Sure I’m missing out on fancy stuff like BTRFS / ZFS, but i can live with that.

Also my recomendation if you don’t need anything fancy. I like the integration into the broser a lot, instead of switching between the reader and some tabs in the browser, i just switch between browser tabs.

The only weird thing with this addon is the company that makes it. They put a lot of work into their browser addons without any obvious way of monetarisation. i can not explain to myself how they make money.

So maybee don’t use it if you are on some three letter agency’s naughty list ;)
