For me, US specific sites are tricky. As in, if you are overseas, you cannot access them due to security reasons. For example; DMV sites. You need to use a VPN and choose a US server to access. Those sites usually always have ID verifications… and theres no way around them

I dont use services you listed, but i face similar ID verifications on similar sites. What i did: switch VPN to another countries. Sometimes it works though.

So… how are yall storing your photos?

Offline server?

Proton Drive? I am skeptical about this one. I know Proton is more secure on paper. But it is like going from 1 walled garden to another.

Asking because right now we are paying for Google One 2TB, which is shared between my families. We have… A LOT of photos (some videos but mostly photos).

only on phone

but Secureblue, a Linux distro, really follows Graphene’s security hardening stuff.

compartmentalization

top reasons why GrapheneOS is highly praised: ability to create different profiles with different encryption keys, and hardened codes.

on Linux, the top choice is QuebeOS. But i tried it 4 times and still couldnt go with it. My laptop couldnt handle quebeos…

The other choice is SecureBlue. I heard that is called the Graphene of Linux. They have hardened codes, secure browser and very strict secure defaults. The downside? You need to be able to use distrobox, flatpak, rpm-ostree, brew to maintain your apps. So in a way, it is the same compartmentalization, but a bit messy.

If u cant deal with these 2, then maybe use TailOS to do your download. Not sure if it saves the data?

Using VM is also great. But i think a “super VM” is the only answer and that is QuebeOS. You can literally control everything inside each VM.

these news site really need to research or write better.

No, Navier Stokes was not “solved”. We have been using numerical methods to solve these equations approximtely since forever. The exact analytical solutions that exist for special cases are also studied; most often, these are used as baseline for comparison against new theory , new experimental results and new computer simulations. So, we have been “solving” Navier Stokes.

What OpenAI manages to achieve is answering a very specific problem relate to Navier Stoke (sorry for hand waving, not a pure math major). It is something like: given an initial flow condition, does the Navier Stoke equation predict this flow field to blow up or it stays smooth for some finite time? Result: OpenAI manages to come up with a case where the solution blow up.

Mathematically, i bet some math geniuses can expand on this finding as like a “special property” of the Navier Stoke equations.

So no we are still far solving the whole equation analytically.

the fucked up thing is this GDID thing apparently also show up for VM. So that would mean any VM and even a Quebe?

Fuck microsoft

Sorry my hands are busy

`C - x 2’

C -x C-f ~/.emacs.d/init.el

C-x C-s

lots of people recommend bitwarden, but i am more at peace with an offline password manager that i control like Keepass. You can also go the GNU route and use “pass” on Linux too

Or use a physical key like Yubikey to login

i think the good alternative is to get a really fast drive and hibernate everytime you close the lid. Sure it’s slower to resume but with ssd that shouldnt be an issue. Or if Framework has 2 drives we can suspend the image to that 2nd drive then use the main drive to boot up off of it.

I was loaned a Macbook at my previous workplace. Didnt really use it much because my work apps do not work on Mac. So it sat on the shelves until the day I left the company (too much toxicity). I only used it once or twice when doing presentations. Anyway, that thing suspened pretty much 10/10. The power save is better too: i closed the lid on Sunday night and next Sunday, when open up the lid the battery was at 95%.

good battery life is nice, but does Linux’s bibernation or suspend work reliably on this? Asking because coming from Lenovo, the power performance is not a problem but it is the power management. Unless I am on a Window version specifically for that Lenovo laptop or I am on a Mac, there is always that 10% chance the laptop will fail to suspend properly.

spez has a very punchable face. After that API fiasco that forced many devs out of business, i didnt think i can hate him more till now

I’m a noob when it comes to deep linux stuff.

So how does this affect end users and are we at risk of leaking personal info? It looks to me they are adding a birthDate field along with other meta data. Will these metadata be sent to whatever local authorities or whatever data hoarder on the web (like Google) without user consent?

I meant what stops me from listing false info like: Name: Biggus Dickus DOB: 06/09/1969 Nationality: Spartan …etc. ?

I usually use systemd for stuff like hibernate/suspend, e.g.

systemd suspend

and if on i3wm, I edit configs for sleep and lid close in /etc/systemd/sleep.conf

Are these affected too?.

HolyC is the real C

Suspend , hibernation and resume

yes laptops may seem like they suspend and hibernate and resume properly on Linux. But they do not work reliably. Back in 2010, you could have laptop running hot inside your backpack just because it failed to suspend on lid close. Fast forwars to 2026, the lid close action works but for me, there are still small chances that it doesnt suspend properly or slow to suspend. I blame Intel and Micro$oft for the new standby mode.

As much as I hate Macs, those fucking money grabbers suspend 200% well. I dont care if you’re alert or drunk or 30,000 ft in the air, if you close on the lids on these laptops, they suspend quickly.

yes some Play store apps are country specific so instead of switching my default country, which stupid Google only allows 1 per year btw, I want to create different profiles with different Google accounts. You cannot do that without showing that these accounts belong to whichever phone number you have

its been 4 months and I am not regret about my switch to GrapheneOS. The only thing that can make this 100% perfect is creating a Google account that does not tie to your phone number.

GOS is great. Funny, I used to rom hop and distro hop a lot; but on GOS, I installed it once and so far so good (5+ months in).

Just some tips for new users: Just install it and dont be afraid to try things out (Google Store, profiles, Aurora…etc). Oh and dont make it tooooo complicate with many profiles and private space. You can test first but dont over do it if you’re not experienced.

And no, I am not a dev from GOS lol. I’m an ordinary user who wants to take control of my phone.

i guess another way is to use those shitty privacy screen protectors that do not work with fingerprints at all. They can try all they want, its not gonna work.

Or grapheneos but compartmentalize sensitive data to a profile where you use no fingerprints, only pins. Duress can be entered anywhere right? So if you’re being compromised , enter the duress pin.

any ideas how to add that engine to Vanadium on GrapheneOS?
