Gentoo lured me into OpenRC a long time ago and it's just basically my go to now. It's just so easy and "feels" less bloated to me.

This!

I also use it for SwiftBackup and some custom crons for scripts I run on the phone. It's also very useful with pcapdroid when I want to analyze the traffic that apps are attempting to generate.

I use root for being able to customize my phone greatly and with extra security benefits (like akunohana shared) while also bring able to degoogle. But if degoogling is the only thing you care about then there are other options, especially if you're not fully adept to understanding the file system and/or Linux already.

Def wouldn't. As much as I love opnsense and recommend them, their major updates tend to break something every time for me. Then again, my overall setup is a lot more complex than the average person, so maybe that's on me lol.

Never heard of chatto until this one... Anyone here tested it vs fluxxer and have any opinions?

Similar thing happen to me. Had a lightning strike fry the ONT port outside, the charge went through to the UPS cat5e surge protector and to my opnsense box and fried it. Luckily it stopped there.

This is where I tell everyone to never buy UPSs from CyberPower. I sent them the thing to inspect because it was guaranteed paying for the damages from power surges and they claimed there was nothing wrong with it and their inspection came clean. But they sent me a new one and said they won't pay for my lost firewall.

Sorry to hear you got 10k in damages, that sucks. I've now got a whole house surge protector to try my best to avoid that (and I STILL unplug expensive things like my TV and stereo system).

It's great to at least give Gentoo a try, I imagine you learned a lot from it. I'd recommend trying to give it another shot some years down the road when you become a more more familiar with Linux and how to fix things on your own. You'll find it's probably way easier than you remembered.

My front yard takes over an hour with a push mower and the terrain is too complex for a ride mower. I'd be curious if I'd be the exception, unless the robot mowers are terrible at landscape changes like a robot vacuum would be. Including some boulders... But maybe still cheaper to hire some kid if I get that far on the lazy scale.

It's kind of both for me honestly. Call me old fashion... Or just old... but I really enjoy seeing a shelf full of game cases and looking through them to physically pick out what I wanna play. And it's really just nice-looking to me, just like a bookshelf that's actually full of books looks good.

Nintendo did something similar. They added to their privacy policy basically saying you grant permission to them monitoring chats, video, and audio through the switch (does switch even have a camera? I can't remember). They say if you disagree you can login and delete your account. Catch is that when you log in, you can't go to delete your account until you agree to the terms. And if you don't acknowledge by the given deadline, you're automatically agreeing to them.

I contacted their privacy email and they basically said I had to agree first before I could delete my account. Literally impossible to deny the terms.

I can keep ranting but I think I've made my point. They all suck.

So I'm definitely not familiar with swedish politics, but does this site actually represent the entire party? The party site is just a very vague description of some group of people that sound like they're anti left and anti right at the same time. The Wikipedia article on the party doesn't really help make sense to what they expect to accomplish, but again that could just be my ignorance to it.

Would love to know more about all this, with more reliable sources if possible (vs a website that just says something without really providing sources). Mullvad is about trying to protect privacy with fighting big brother, and I'm really not seeing anything about the party that indicates it wants the opposite.

Don't see it on here, but anther article I read said it requires ASLR to be disabled to be exploited. So unless you're messing with those values manually, I don't imagine many people are at major risk here. Unless that other article was wrong lol. Can't figure out where I read that so I don't have a source, sorry!

Alternatives for a11y, by Google? That's silly. They haven't brought accessibility to even their main products like Google drive, I highly doubt they care. Those of us with specific requirements for accessibility are the least of their concerns.
