There are many many kinds of laws that are fucked in Japan. Court in general is a whole other cultural world from what I hear and however unfair courts are in the west, in Japan they are even less so.

Except not on most phones, just a small subset of old phones.

Bazzite uses BTRFS, but not snapshots I think.

Opensuse microOS flavors go all-in on full system snapshots but that means they also have a bad grub encryption unlock interface (instead of Plymouth). I have had some funky things with it like it missing keystrokes and if you get it wrong once, you have to reboot your entire system instead of just retrying.

Other OS’s use home folder snapshots only or something like that?

The different variants are not quite clear to me.

Placebo is a hell of a phenomenon though lol

Hey, something I can maybe help with.

Flatpak IDEs on the main system are not very useful for development. I got rid of mine entirely. I am developing firmware so it might be a bit different from your case, but what I did in have a single arch distrobox where I could install everything embedded-dev-related that had to work together (JLink, nordic tools, code-oss, etc…) on that. Then a few standalone debugging tools like STLink and Saelae logic2 could be installed to the home folder by default and Code could still find them from the distrobox (but they could be installed in the distrobox also). It doesn’t even need to have an init system, but I ran into a few problems like having to manually chmod usb devices to give STLink access. Udev rules are also hit or miss in /etc/udev/rules.d, e.g. the STM udev rules just don’t work, but nordic does.

High storage consumption is likely negligible (or at least nitpicky) since storage is so cheap nowadays. Your SSD doesn’t care if it has 15GB or 20GB of system programs, especially when development codebases and SDKs, games, and media will likely make up 90% of space and almost never share libraries even on traditional systems.

It is funny because electric motors have nearly unlimited* torque depending on the kind. If you have thick enough power cables and winding conductors, you can just keep pushing it harder to get more torque.

It is like the thing they are very good at, besides sound levels, double or triple the efficiency, low/no maintenance, simpler with less parts, no emissions, etc…

Literally the only good thing about combustion engines are their fuel source energy density.

I think the problem is that motorheads see the enshittification of the auto industry as a whole and just say it’s because of electric motors because it happened right about the same time as EVs started coming out and try to push back on the wrong thing.

I wish I could use unattended-upgrade.

It literally restarts my server even when I disable the option, leaving it hung if the USB boot key isn’t in there.

I had to stop using it, so now I just manually upgrade because that doesn’t auto-restart without my permission…

But on this threat model? Why would it not be good?

It has to physically accessed on the PCB itself from what I gather.

There are 2 “threats” from what I see:

• someone at the distribution facility pops it open and has the know how to install malware on it (very very unlikely)

• someone breaks into your home unnoticed and has the time to carefully take apart your vacuum and upload pre-prepared malware instead of just sticking an IP camera somewhere. If this actually happens, the owner has much much bigger problems and the vacuum is the least of their worries.

The homeowner is the other person that can access it and it is a big feature in that case.

Hell, a 12TB WD red Plus in the EU is 300€. $160 for a 14TB is absolute dirt cheap

The Minigame maps in source days were crazy good!

On the bottles website, it says that the bottles are sandboxes. It has a full subsystem container for each program that is isolated from the main system (according to them I guess).

If you run it through something like bottles offer a bit of protection in that respect?

Sadly, just the store doesn’t work for many professional programs and non-free software.

Segger j-link, renesas go hub, Nordic tools, etc… (though AUR solves this on arch distros)

True, but this is a reaction to companies discarding their employees at the drop of a hat, and only for “increasing YoY profit”.

It is a defense mechanism that has now become cultural in a huge amount of countries.

Opensuse MicroOS variants kalpa and aeon are probably what they are looking for. Stupid easy to set up and, from what I understand, quite secure.

Downside is that it needs workarounds for some things like Steam Flatpak and such, but that is the nature of atomic distros.

That is not true even a little bit. Look at any inkjet paper under a microscope made after the mid 2000s.

I would be interested to see a figure of people with home servers that have had that happen to them. DoS & pwned yes, especially 15+ years ago before there were good resources, TLS, reverse proxies, or authentication front ends.

I would be very interested to see any stat whatsoever of selfhosters that have gottened murdered specifically because of their server.

It is extremely important to note that in those days, people just opened their, often out-of-date, servers completely to the internet via a DMZ or port forwarding, let ssh be open to the internet, didn’t harden ssh at all, and most people didn’t use a VPN for downloading.

That is literally like saying that people who light wall torches in their wooden home burned their house down, so let’s not use lightbulbs or electricity.

What is the difference between a paid service and a paywalled service in this case?

So you have absolutely no devices that are a different resolution than you download? You don’t direct play 4k on a 1080p screen for example.

Me too, and the new one I didn’t even realize this change happened. I saw there were no breaking changes, updated, and saw “oh, it isn’t synced anymore” so I reselected the folders, it ran a sync check on everything, which took a while, and everything works fine again.

I didn’t even realize there was a difference until now, but I guess there is a start/stop sync switch.
