Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates in c/technology@lemmy.world

But unlike server aided services an OS still keeps working. You can use that PC for 10 more years, if you like.

I think there’s a discrepancy in the understanding of ‘support’ and what it entails in different technology fields. Demanding to receive NEW features for decades is not feasible in the current economic environment.

    • What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

    I’m in the same boat and currently run WireGuard to access my services. However the more I extend my stack of services, the more I have use-cases to expose certain services to friends and family. For that I’m currently looking into using Pangolin.

    What ad blocker do you use on your iPhone? in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

    For safari i use Firefox Klar and Hyperweb as Extensions.

    Other than that I have a raspberry pi running WireGuard and Pi-hole, which my phone is constantly connected to. This provides extra security (as all my traffic is encrypted) and privacy. Pi-hole filters out ad and tracking domains.
