Depends on what your definition of winning is. If we reach a state where it is literally impossible to run your own software without heavy hardware modification, which would exclude 99.9% of users, that would be like big tech winning in my book. That’s why right to repair is important, and we probably also need laws to prevent OEMs from disallowing the use of alternate OS.

Wow this is big news, Comaps is the fork of Organic Maps: https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/
Let’s be careful to remember that there are different levels of effort and understanding required for different levels of security and privacy. GrapheneOS has taken the approach of offering harm reduction, with sane defaults and options that allow advanced users to take near-complete control over their device (within the limits of the Pixel hardware). This is obvious by their inclusion of the sandboxed Google Play Store as a major feature of the OS, as it is much better than the situation on Google’s Android. It is also not installed by default, forcing users to at least somewhat educate themselves in order to install it.
Accrescent is right in line with this philosophy, and is also not installed by default. Of course if your threat model (or desire) is to achieve the highest level of online anonymity and to have a completely FOSS system, you should not use it… of course you probably shouldn’t use FDroid either, in that case, and should build from source. However, you are clearly in a situation where your threat model does not require those lengths, and FDroid is more of a principled choice.
I think its pointlessly inflammatory to call Accrescent “dangerous” just because it allows for non-FOSS software. Now if you want to criticize whether or not it is fulfilling its stated goals, that is another story.


No, he had access but clearly the router admin interface wasn’t set up to allow remote access. He then needed to access the router from a browser inside the LAN, and he did have the proxmox host configured correctly to access remotely.


The amount that even the middle class is capable of wasting compared to the poor is immense… I imagine the stuff from encampments is probably just trashed with no other consideration
Yeah knocking them over while active would probably not be the best, you can even hear the stress on the spindle bearings if you rotate a running hard drive. However you should be free to mount them (securely) in almost any orientation given the discussion in this old post: https://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21533&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

For accessing reddit behind a vpn there is a very reliable system of frontends. Here is the instance I use: https://redlib.freedit.eu/

🤔 shit… you right


Then why does the post say “we are looking” as if you are part of a group or team related to this?


One thing to check is whether you are receiving “Incoming” connections on other torrents (the I flag in Qbittorrent peer status). If you are, port forwarding is probably working, its just that maybe nobody in those torrents’ trackers and DHT are requesting it
The two have completely different goals, and SimpleX’s goal (anonymity) comes with difficulties such as not having typical “accounts”, which means no true simultaneous multi-device support.
