Is that needed if ublock already stops all the tracking scripts from loading?

It does, just need to enable the filter list for it. It’ll block most annoying things on top of the usual ads.

Zen has been my main for awhile now, I love how it looks!

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?

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/

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.

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.

Yeah.

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.

Hibernate isn’t something I’ve really ever used, my laptop uses very little power in sleep mode.

Fedora w/ KDE always just feels like home to me, I like the defaults so I don’t spend much time mucking around, and it feels stable and reliable.

I feel like a linux ISO swarm would have quite a lot of fully connectable peers.

I’d just delete older stuff you’ve already watched, unless it’s something you plan on re-watching at least.

RClone maybe? https://rclone.org/

There are some open source rclone android apps like RCX, and on windows/linux you can just use rclone mount to use it like a normal filesystem.

Technically you only need 1 interface when using VLANs. Basically any device with a CPU and NIC can be a router.

The performance issues are a major one for me, nothing worse than firing up a new game and getting 40fps with tons of stuttering along the way.

I feel like most newer games also have trouble with low/medium settings not really being that much better for performance, so there’s no fix for it.

I remember older games where low was like staring at a character made from 12 polygons and everything looked awful, but it would run on just about anything.

Download of 6GB is wild, is that re-downloading the entire package for each one that needs an update? Shouldn’t it be more efficient to download only the changes and patch the existing files?

At this point it seems like my desktop Linux install needs as much space and bandwidth than windows does.
