Canadian checking in.
Biggest oddity to me is that the default for restaurants is one bill, and waiters get annoyed if you ask them to split it by person.
Like why would I want to either:
It’s complete insanity to me.
Two questions: are you still on Gentoo, and have you tried LFS?
I run Gentoo as my main distro, and have for a couple years now. It’s a pretty stable rolling release (IMO more stable than Arch), and since you’re already an advanced user, the experience should be pretty rewarding!
The wiki is great, and the installation handbook is top notch.
You get to control exactly what features each package is compiled with, so no bloat at all.
KDE 6 just landed too!
Bah, real power users only need a magnet and a pin.
Linux is whatever the Linux Mark Institute says it is.
The risk of mis-ordering your layers is a security issue.
There are two ways to layer a VPN and tor:
In the first option, you gain little. Tor already encrypts your traffic, so your ISP can’t see inside them. Technically, Tor over a VPN hides the fact that you’re using Tor from your ISP, but Tor’s snowflake does something similar if you need that.
In the second option, you’re revealing your VPN account information, which could theoretically be associated back to you. Tor adds nothing over just a VPN in this case.
Don’t mix tor plus VPN.
If you’re using tor browser without tor for some reason, carry on.
Let me preface this by saying I don’t see the value of 99% of NFTs either, but it is technically possible to make one that stores the image on the blockchain or on IPFS. Most don’t, obviously, but it is possible.
I am aware. What processing is only possible in the cloud, and not locally?
Edit: My apologies, I didn’t realize you weren’t the same person I originally replied to. Please disregard!
Until homeomorphic encryption becomes a thing, cloud can’t be secure or private.
Why do you need homeomorphic encryption? Isn’t client-side encryption good enough for most use cases?
Using your shared libraries is always a good thing, no? Like your distro’s packages should always have the latest security fixes and such, while flatpaks require a separate upgrade path.
Access to your entire filesystem, however, I agree with you on.
Unpopular opinion: Gnome software is pretty solid, and if your computer usage patterns overlap with their design, it is quite a lovely DE. I’d rather have something that works well, even if it doesn’t do everything under the sun.
Split meaning equal shares, or split as in each person pays for what they ordered?
