Do you use some kind of encryption on the VPS?

How do you make sure the disk spins down? Is unmounting enough?

I look forward to Digital Wellbeing.

Considering Gnome 48 won’t hit stable distros any time soon, any recommendations for alternatives?

Is there any disk usage tool that allows you to browse the tree while it’s still being calculated, prioritizing current directory?

As a side question, are there other free DNS providers besides Cloudflare? Ones that don’t require you to register your domain there.

I liked reading both of your arguments, and I think they have merit on both sides. I’m sorry to see this became hostile, but I think the discussion up go the parent comment was good. I hope next one will stay friendly!

jrnl is a CLI tool worth mentioning when it comes to journaling, but does not cover your listed needs.

Find out if your ISP provides an SMTP smarthost.

Worth noting that in Finland they are also by law required to log metadata of delivered mails.

Calibre + DeDRM plugins rock.

Ledger is awesome.

ELI5 what is wrong with Flatpak.

You can start with dpigs. Then start marking packages automatically installed with apt-mark. aptitude may be a good frontend when removing a lot of packages, you can mark entire categories, like libraries, as automatically installed.

Pay attention to the package headers when removing packages. You don’t want to remove essential packages.

The Linux kernel would maintain a list of the latest Intel microcode versions for each CPU family, which is based on the data from the Intel microcode GitHub repository. In turn this list would need to be kept updated with new Linux kernel releases and as Intel pushes out new CPU microcode files.

Sounds like that would be outdated for everyone without a rolling distro.

Nah, it’s still considered Personal Data under GDPR, because it’s possible to connect to natural persons. So GDPR applies. And this is illegal, there is no legal basis for processing this data.

Release submissions should really include a description what the project is about.

Wine was first released in 1993. I hope our children are there to see the take off.

I hope this makes it easier to do TLS sniffing and security research on Android apps. A lot of developers seem to rely on no one simply looking at how much information is exposed in the APIs apps use. Currently because it’s much more difficult to sniff Android apps, a lot of privacy/security issues are not raised.

I’m optimistic, since technical arguments can be pretty heated yet they end like this:

Can you find any links where one can read about this?

If Finland is wasting tax payer money to something shady, it should be brought to the local media.

As a finn, I understand that there are probably legal reasons for doing this.

I just wish they would be transparent and share those reasons with us. The Linux kernel is certainly not the only free software project that is impacted, if this comes straight from EU/US sanctions. Maintainers of other projects have a lot of interest in what is happening.

Transparency is also important because if EU/US policy/sanctions are causing issues for free software projects, then that discussion needs to be public, so that there is a chance to amend the policies if necessary.
