I recently had to use a friend’s old 4gb macbook for some weeks because my laptop was stolen. I was surprised how well everything worked, even when using a few web apps in firefox. I think with using zram and avoiding web / electron apps where possible, you might get quite something out of a 4gb machine.
Just recently jumped ship from Revolut to Wise, because the former does not support de-googled android anymore. I love the fact that Wise can be fully managed through the web app.
“Independent” browsers. Yeah right.
That’s a good point.
How on earth does this reach a 75% approval rate?
I apologize for being rude, but these are bold claims with no sources whatsoever. I mean I can understand that it might be frustrating to be called paranoid over using Tor, and there certainly use cases or threat models where it makes sense to use Tor. But this post is either a full-on conspiracy theory or carefully crafted troll content.
That’s really helpful, thank you. I’ve ordered an AX23 which will arrive tomorrow. I’ll try to figure it out in the next few days and report back.
Thank you! I’ll evaluate and report back.
And openwrt is capable enough?
Yeah it’s insane right? Every address is reachable when I open a port range. And it’s like there are ~ 10 predefined services (HTTP/S, SMTP, …) and the category “All other ports” where also 22 is part of. So I really have the choice to either keep everything shut or leave everything wide open.
I think I can’t use my own modem but I’ll have to double check with my ISP. But yes the Wi-Fi is also provided by that router and it’s also quite crappy.
Thank you! Do you have an example for such a firewall device? Could something like the TP-Link Archer AX55 in IPv6 “pass-through” mode do the job? Or would you go for a standalone firewall? My budget is around a hundret bucks.
haha, word
Take a look at the podman kube play command which lets you run K8s-style stack definitions on podman. Has partly replaced compose for me (although I still have some docker servers running for stacks that don’t play nicely with podman yet).
That’s what’s kept me from using it, although I very much like the idea of paying for a good service. I would love to see them figure out a way to avoid accounts.
IIRC there is a plugin for Caddy that can do what you are looking for.
Edit: here you go
Your comment reminds me of that great tune by Pink Floyd.
Probably not what OP is looking for.
But I’m also happy with my Garmin Instinct. I use it disconnected from my phone, it does everything I need offline and stand-alone. To add tracks for navigation I just connect it to my linux laptop and drop the GPX file into the NewFiles (or whatever it’s called) folder on the watch. I was surprised how well it works without official apps. The only thing I used the app for was to update the firmware when I bought the watch.
Also, fittrackee looks promising - thanks for the tip!
I would second that. I currently use nix besides Flatpaks for development environments but also find it somewhat overcomplicated. Looking forward to give toolbx a try.
I migrated my home- and webservers from Debian to FCOS a while ago and I’m very happy with how everything works.
Troubleshooting butane/ignition was a bit of a pain in the butt but worth it imo. I suggest just reading through the FCOS docs, they guided me well while setting everything up. I use podman on my webservers and docker on the homeserver (bc nextcloud aio is not fully podman compatible). I use the installer to build a pre-configured ISO that I can deploy where I want to.
Someone in the comments mentioned Flatcar, which I think looks compelling as well, since it’s basically the same but more of a community effort.
I think this is a step in the right direction. Everyone can lose a portable device or it can get stolen, so protecting the potentially sensitive data is important.
I think what people are complaining about is not full-disk encryption itself, but the fact that people are not used to being responsible for their cryptographic keys.
I think we should educate people regarding this responsibility. We did it with regular keys we use to unlock our homes.

I must say I’m not 100% happy with my InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen 9 AMD. The build quality has very much improved since the Gen 7 (which I daily-drove before), but it feels like Tuxedo’s take on “Linux Laptop” is rather something like “Tuxedo-OS Laptop”. On Fedora I had to tweak kernel params so my laptop doesn’t wake up from sleep on its own and do the same to resolve an audio issue, and my RJ45 port just simply doesn’t work even with their drivers.
And something inside the device makes a quiet but annoying beep-like noise when the fans don’t spin.
Apart from that I love the device, but if you plan to use your own distro of choice and really want a high-quality build I’d not really recommend it.
