See the context mentioned by OP. It was a reply to a post about Recall on Windows.

Unfortunately, not everyone has a choice in who they work for in end-stage-capitalism. Work is about survival, not ideology. The majority of Americans are not far-right capitalists, but the vast majority of CEOs are, and it’s not really possible to survive long enough to start a small business in most of the US without investment from a far-right capitalist or inheritance (usually also from a far-right capitalist family member).

I have a separate boot partition so the rest can be encrypted with luks. That’s all that’s needed in a large majority of scenarios. Most other setups end up needing to resize something at some point which in many cases is a total pain.

On my primary PC I do have a second hard drive for documents and other long term storage files that I want to access more often than on the NAS. This way it’s nearly impossible to lose those files of I reinstall something and it can act as a temporary backup storage for settings files when I do reinstall stuff rather than having a partition that wastes space or runs out of space.

It’s not that you can’t at all, it’s just that you’d either need to give up a lot of the functionality of a lot of sites or at least reduce the usability of many sites and your browser or configure whitelist and such for every site manually and deal with breaking changes when websites update.

Everyone having to prove they’re an adult just means the end of privacy on social media. Tracking everything you do online becomes extremely easy when your real ID is attached to your advertising IDs. And breaches become leaks of more significant data used in age verification.

Problem is that if a site gets too popular, then the search engines like google tend to start rate limiting. Before in started self hosting I jumped around every couple of months to a new server.

What’s wrong with being the only one on it?

It’s not profitable.

I’d say none will be private in the long term. Acquisitions ultimately break that eventually. It’s hard to run a successful service and not get acquired, eventually. So, I have a self-hosted searxng instance. DDG has already started moving away from privacy and Startpage has some signs it might be moving that way in the near future. I’ll let others comment on the current state of things at each, but if you give your search to any profit driven company it has the potential to be sold. But IMHO Qwant is currently the best option outside of metasearch engines with small nonprofit ownership, whoch can be unreliable, or self hosting.

I think this is a great idea and a great goal. It will take time and the process will not be easy as there’s always subjectivity. But I think if you make sure to include everyone, but also don’t waffle too much once the subjective stuff is given proper attention, it can be great.

Google is a Reddit partner now, so they probably don’t want discussion of anything that removes them from the loop, thus privacy is very limited to “privacy from everyone but Google” or whatever corporate blob is currently funding Reddit. This is why Reddit is dead to me, basically it is now all about profit and communities can only exist if they contribute to that goal.

Not free, hard to get food and necessities, but yeah, some days I wish it was that easy, though I’d be hella bored.

Anyone know the source of this version? I’ve seen several similar versions over the years. And what is the hat representing, since that’s new to me.

It’s rarely a good idea to log in as root, doubly so if it’s a system with sensitive data or services that could easily be disrupted accidentally. And even more important if multiple users log in. How will you know who broke things to teach them if they don’t log in first. The only time I log in to any system as root other than a test system is when I need to sftp to access files or some other system that doesn’t have a way to elevate permissions.

Even if Copilot was suspended, the idea was put into the heads of managers and executives. My work laptop current has three applications constantly locking files as they track everything I do and every file that gets touched and upload it all to the servers. Git now takes a ridiculous amount of time to check in and push files since it creates tons of small changes to the cached files that a the tracking applications block further changes or uploads until they can record the information. It takes about 30 seconds to a minute to check in a single small file. Something that used to take a second or two at most. Worst part is if I’m in a WebEx meeting, the fighting over caches in it and git and any other processes,often causes deadlocks that crash the machine. I’m constantly apologizing for being late for meetings because the laptop crashed and had to reboot. It’s gotten to the point that they finally gave me a much faster laptop rather than just excluding cache and git folders and such from the tracking because the people who want literally everything tracked don’t know what cache or git is, much less how much useless data they’re gathering or how the AI that analyzes it all is going yo get distracted by the garbage and not find any useful data anyway. Microsoft needs to get in the game to push the others back out.

Also, not sure if it’s this database or another leaked database, but I get a lot of targeted phishing messages that know exactly what forms I’ve filed for my wife’s family for their immigration over the years. And I’ve heard similar anecdotes from others. Only started this year, so definitely something this administration has either broken the security of to speed up deportations or possibly purposely allowed to leak to foreign agents and thus their hacking groups.

I do this as much as possible, though I have a self hosted VaultWarden instance. I really wish more stuff supported TOTP or Yubikey. There’s still a ton that only support text or email which just puts a big old hole in the security, IMHO.

Don’t format, just create separate subvolumes for the distros and keep the home subvolume mounted on each root then delete the root subvolume of the distros you don’t want when you’re done with them.

I didn’t have to change anything including secure boot when I removed windows and installed Fedora on my laptop. Should generally work, but there’s a possibility some newer features may not or may have a Windows-only setting and an other OS setting. Update the BIOS to the latest and just try it…

I mean LLC is just a nice option if you want it to be easy to transfer it to someone else next time so they don’t have to go through any hassle. Adding someone to an LLC to have control over the assets is just easier than if an individual owns those assets.

But this all comes down to ownership. Someone owns the rights to the domain. Sonatype obeys that ownership. So it really comes down to how the owner wants to handle it. And in the US anyway, lawyers aren’t really required for an LLC, depending on the state you live in. Many it’s just a couple of simple documents and a small fee. That’s why LLCs are used by rich people to hide their money, it’s cheap and easy. I’ve done it many times in multiple states for various projects and never had any legal background. The nonprofit part is a little more work, but as long as you aren’t bringing in any money, its not necessary. Still easy in practice, but more research to figure out. Also, it comes with a lot of benefits like free access to a lot of stuff, including some from Sonatype. But again, not required, just thinking ahead and how I would do it.

First step would be just to contact the domain owner. If they are no longer interested in owning that asset, then they may just give it to you. If they are unresponsive and the domain is not in use for anything else, you could also contact the registrar and report it and if they can’t contact the domain owner there’s a possibility that they may allow you to purchase it depending on their policies.

Again, don’t get discouraged, and I’m totally willing to give pointers if you decide to go the nonprofit LLC route, but first, just contact the owner and maybe they’ll just give you the login for the domain registrar or if they don’t want to give up the ownership of the domain, maybe just authorize you with Sonatype to publish the artifacts. Essentially, because it’s an ownership issue, the owner needs to be involved.
