pff, you call using an operating system bare metal? I run my apps as unikernels on a grid of Elbrus chips I bought off a dockworker in Kamchatka.
and even that’s overkill. I prefer synthesizing my web apps into VHDL and running them directly on FPGAs.
until my ASIC shuttle arrives from Taipei, naturally, then I bond them directly onto Ethernet sockets.
/uj not really but that’d be sick as hell.
for work I have a cloud dev VM, in which I run WSL2. so there’s at least two levels of VMs happening, maybe three honestly.
is that the Network State that Peter Thiel is trying to build?
and make MAGA Place pay for it?
and will you be paying with NAND or disk today?
border guard: do you have anything to declare?
me:
{ pkgs, config, ... }:

it’s literally what made me decide to go buy a Pixel and install it.
if you’re expecting your burner to get searched, they could access your social media through the phone. if you have none, you might look suspicious. if you have lots, you’re giving out tons of metadata.
plus with regular phones you’re giving out your location 24/7 to Google and your carrier. the intervals you’re on airplane mode are suspicious.
I think the more normies use GOS, the less it stands out. Tor still stands out, but Signal doesn’t, because tons of people use Signal. maybe even use GOS for burners - just get used Pixels. maybe say you use it to skip ads on YouTube and pirate shit? and if they try to unlock the burner, well… it wastes their time, only to find you were telling the truth all along.
if I were magically made dictator somehow, no I don’t think so. but I’m not cutthroat enough to become a dictator in the first place.
Russia… Russia never changes.
the most secure possible? you’ll need to learn a ton. you’ll get there, but it’ll take a while.
decently secure? install Linux Mint, install your updates, don’t run sketchy commands with URLs in them unless you know what you’re doing, maybe follow a hardening guide. you’ll be okay.
if you need to be extremely secure and private, install Tails on a USB stick. it will be slow and frustrating, and you’ll need to save files to a second USB drive, but it will probably keep you pretty safe, and it’s decently user-friendly. just make sure you keep Tails updated! you’ll have to do that by flashing the new Tails onto a new USB drive, there’s no easy way around that.
those are your two most user-friendly, safe approaches.
I wasted twenty minutes of my life learning enough tumblr to understand the second note. tumblr is a strange and fascinating country, like Listenbourg.
are they called dongles because they dangle?
yeah! there’s a punishing learning curve but it’s sooo frikkin powerful once you get it. for my NixOS config on WSL2, I have it cross-compile age-plugin-yubikey for Windows, then stuff the (absolute) path in a wrapper script to use agenix with passage as a git-credential-helper storage, all of which gets set up using home-manager as my default git config. and it all just gets automatically built and configured when I nixos-rebuild switch, so I can sync it to my other machines.
unfortunately I have no idea how it works anymore lol. that’s the problem, it’s so resilient I forget how to change it! but I can’t imagine doing that in any other Linux distro.
!unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org is leaking.
between Gentoo and Arch, but so far down the y-axis it clipped off the chart.

…you’re literally on the fediverse right now?
at a museum in the US, a security guard yelled at me for taking a photo of a Miró painting. he pointed to a sign saying that to respect the owner’s copyright, photography was strictly forbidden.
pretty sure I had the legal right to take the photo, but that they had the legal right to trespass me if I kept doing it. :/
fun fact, Mr. Rogers testified at the Supreme Court to save format shifting, in a landmark copyright case:
“I have always felt that with the advent of all of this new technology that allows people to tape the ‘Neighborhood’ off-the-air … they then become much more active in the programming of their family’s television life. Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been ‘You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions’ … I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.”
the Court agreed with Mr. Rogers and cited him in the majority Opinion.
exactly everything I need and nothing more. doesn’t need X. reasonably lightweight. no fiddly configuration needed. nice support for tiling alongside floating.
also, very buggy (at least as of alpha.7), somewhat fickle (at least on my hardware), and I can’t remap keyboard shortcuts.
