Define “sandboxed”

Application can only access a limited part of the system? = use flatpak or build a container/VM image using the nix pkgs.

Application can be uninstalled completely and has separate libraries? I prefer nix.

Especially since they don’t talk about how they secure the local data

They don’t because they don’t

All the data you import is indexed in a SQLite database and stored on disk organized by date, without obfuscation or anything complicated.

Probably because this is still in early alpha and “the schema is still changing”.

How does mergefs compare to btrfs and bcachefs in using multiple partitions?

Drives connected to usb have an unstable connection in my experience, this is very annoying and gets worse with hubs.

RAIDs reduce the time a system is offline and reduce data loss, if a drive fails and you can afford to wait for the new disk and the backup to restore, and have regular backups that ensure no important data gets lost (though remember the data added between backups may be lost) then you don’t need a RAID.

I don’t use RAIDs cause if my disk fails then I can stomach the 2-4 days it takes to buy a new one and restore the backup

Very important: use S.M.A.R.T and a filesystem with checksums to make sure you’re not backing up corrupted data and know to get a new one

For encryption at rest you may want to look at clevis and tang, though you need a server in your home network for this to work. The client (with clevis) then decrypts the disk at boot if it can reach the server (tang). The server can’t decrypt the data without the client secret and the client can’t decrypt it without the server public key.

Don’t know what your server could be though, maybe a router with custom firmware?

You should also look into cloud storage/rclone, that way you can automate your backups more and reduce the need for manual intervention.

I use rclone and restic to automatically backup my servers daily which takes a few seconds most of the time due to them being incremental backups.

As long as you only copy off the disk, you can just reboot and the whole system in RAM vanishes and the normal system boots again for the second try.

FYI you can use kexec and a prepared initrd to do something similar with only one command.

Would this even cause a kernel panic? I think this just causes a userland “panic”

You need a phone, tablet, or other device that’s been rooted.

How does a search engine being offline interrupt a device flashing?

Surely it can wait, right? How likely could it possibly be that it breaks when you least expect it?

It doesn’t though? IANAL but as far as I can tell you can fork, modify and redistribute it as long as you provide the source code to your users.

It’s AGPL-3.0 so… https://www.tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-affero-general-public-license-v3-agpl-3-0

For now

That’s not Firefox forcing you to update, you had Firefox open while you (/your package manager) was updating Firefox and after the update was done Firefox needs to be reopened. To prevent this you just have to …not update Firefox while it is running.

As long as you didn’t push it’s fine.

Not yet ready for daily use!

We were on the verge of greatness, we were this close.

Sops-nix decrypts secrets at runtime and allows you to create symlinks to the secret files (/run/secret.d…) so this could be used for ssh keys AFAIK.

Can’t Improve Upon Perfection

Yes it seems to have infinite energy but the throughput is limited to 2g of acceleration, unless you give it infinite time as well it will not reach c, though it would approach it.

Doing some calculation the final speed of 33kg, falling in 2g, for 70 years, without friction is “only” 99.77% the speed of light.

Edit: Forgot to convert the 0.9977c to percent.

Well, yes. We don’t know if the measurement we take is the result of a wave form collapse (we caused it) or the result of someone else having measured it, which would giving us the oposite value that they measured. We can’t tell if someone “sent” information or if it was the random result and we have no way to chose what value we (or the other end) gets when we collapse it.

This isn’t easy to explain over text so I’d recommend watching this video, specifically chapter “How to exploit?” as the visuals make it easier to understand.
