It’s feRd

I propose renaming him to Ben Chapitau. Much more suitable for a clown.

As always, the answer is “depends”. It shouldn’t hurt unless you’re dual-booting windows (they used it last year as a weapon in their “mess up grub” game), but, Imo, it’s worth the trouble if:

• your data is also encrypted – otherwise one just removes the HDD/SSD and reads what they need;
• you provision your own keys – to not depend on Microsoft signing shims for you;
• you delete the already provisioned keys – Microsoft signed a few vulnerable things, like one kaspersky’s (iirc) live CD with grub not locked down, so one can boot up literally anything anyway;
• you lock down grub or whatever bootloader you’re using – otherwise you become that vulnerable live cd;
• you password lock the uefi – otherwise one can simply disable the secureboot;
• your vendor’s implementation isn’t terribly buggy – iirc, some MSI laptops would just ignore all the discrepancies.

So, a lot of ifs, and a necessity to store the uefi password somewhere safe, as those may be a pita to reset.

As for standalone stuff – idk, it might protect you from malware injecting itself into the bootloader or something, but given there’s likely no chain of trust (I.e. the bootloader doesn’t check what it bootloads), it can move in on some later step.

This, but backtrack 5 (the one just before kali). On a laptop that’d take several eternities to brutforce an md5 🤣

Or start adding “-site:reddit.com”. On the other hand, in some cases it kinda makes sense with SEO being basically “generate a wall of text on what should be one paragraph with 3.5 sentences”.

Codeberg is a forgejo instance, yes

You sure? To me some of the other options look more convenient, so to say, especially if you tend to watch stuff while away from home :)

Any of them. I’d just write a program that interprets a sequence of keypresses as Morse code beforehand 🤷

The hammers look more like those wooden foot thingeys used to make shoes, tho…

GuixSD then /jk

Yap, not a demon, just a core. You’ll also need an init and a set of coreutils to make one.

As in, symfonium.app? If so, seems questionable, given its proprietary nature and unavailability outside the play store. Although, the feature set is interesting.

Edit: yeeeah, no

From their FAQ:

licences checks requires a call to the verification server from time to time

The license is tied to your Google account

As a Russian, fuck those assholes and the shithole they’re operating.

Please, just don’t. At least unless there’s a reasonably not shady ROM on XDA that you feel comfortable flashing.

At least it’s not as f-d up as French where dudes casually ignore like half of the letters in a sentence.

A recent report from Stanford University in the US, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that recycling lithium-ion batteries is far more environmentally friendly than mining for new materials.

Huh, who knew

Riiiiight, a chromium fork with questionable crypyo and a history of even more questionable decisions (referral scam or not blocking all the trackers, for example) is better than a non-chromium non-fork with no crypto and a history of questionable decisions.

All clothes are no-iron clothes if you DGAF enough :)
