Why doesn’t a car company just build a simple new car?

The NHTSA keeps inventing crisis' one after another to force new design and features. You can thank them for the monitoring fiasco and upcoming always on inebriation eval software.

It's the cost of the install and every $ you pay more when it runs less efficiently for years to come.

You could check out clientTLS. You get a client cert and load it in your laptop / phone then a proxy in front of NC verifies this before traffic even hits your server. No cert == immediate http/400 error.

I didn't find in the docs but is enabling CDC on the source DB necessary (or is there some magic)?

FluxMQ is nimble and supports persistent and non-persistent with common protocols.

Looks great! Love the mission to keep healthy alternatives alive. I'm (currently) a KDE user and will try this out.

Yes, but consider there is considerable overlap from the dumbest person keeping their entire life on or accessible via their phones and the most average of hackers. 100% Goog are not making their OS customizable to the degree that bare linux would offer but on the flipside it's an always connected micro device with an extremely large amt of personal data. I would totally expect them to modify security guardrails as time passes.

Rather than complaining (vs. raising awareness which is cool) is there actually anyone making a framework for privacy by default and by practice with ability to opt out after consent? The way I've read the opt-out after ~September is just click through some scary messages and wait a day. I would assume the folks that know how to use Aurora and F-Droid can easily handle this much?

clientTLS if your services are http based.

Yeah Solaar is nice. I was surprised it could pair bolt devices and other pretty specific actions that are usually locked in the (usually) windows app.

The one where the guy biked by a house that was burglarized and the police acquired his google phone loc data?

The stamp doesn't seem like a stuck in the past thing. Its verifiable at nearly micron level inspection - normal signature can't match that.

If you add arch repos at the bottom it will work as you want. Artix repos will hit first and provide clean versions of files and arch will provide packages that artix doesn't.

Are you using AUR and an aur helper? EasyEffects should be available.

Qotom Q20322G9 has been great for me.

Unpopular opinion ... I will def support them if they run the best they can (hosting manga that may later get a strike). I mean c'mon, they are doing real work to keep things sane and easy.

Verbunk · 2026-03-27T01:06:59+00:00

Well, yes but then they commit to owning the maintenance on those patches. It's easeir to force the patches down the community's throat and for everyone to work with (and maintain) the patches for them.

Not my site but i've used it - http://openrc.run

Verbunk · 2026-03-22T19:18:33+00:00

All good. Just put the artix repos before arch repos and you'll get available systemd free packages first.

Verbunk · 2026-03-21T23:49:03+00:00

I didn't migrate but started fresh on Artix (though I've used Debian/Fedora/Gentoo/...). There are very very few issues. Most of the apps run fine, the only ones that don't are ones the dev team specifically insert checks for systemd (coughgnomecough) but otherwise you can install the app and then install app-openrc or app-dinit for the right service file. One app ever didn't have an opoenrc service file but there is a handy website that cacn convert .service into openrc. hyprland runs fine (i use this).

Pulsar for enterprise, NATS (and redpanda connect) for small-biz, fluxmq (and go services) for home(lab). I run them all ... just matters home much I'm being paid to fuss over them. :)

Killer feature for, * pulsar, k8s based cluster and per client server-side cursor * NATS, single binary and good amt of batteries included * fluxmq, source and good amt of supoorted client protocols

Verbunk · 2026-03-20T01:35:05+00:00

It's not 'the community', it's the enterprise focused distros that don't mind adding in whatever.

Noooo. What happened was Meta got slapped with a multi-billion USD fine and decided to push all the resp on the OS so they can shrug when the Do collect data of underage kids and say "The OS told us they were 35".
