Well, the GrapheneOS team announced that they will be able to support Pixel devices going forward, despite Google being little bitches.

I will look into flashing another device with LineageOS to tinker with.

Can you lock the bootloader after installing LineageOS?

There may be browser extensions that will spoof your TZ data.

Your web browser gives up that information when asked by a site.

Yes.

Set your system time to UTC.

Me too. I still can’t get the Nvidia card to work on my Acer Nitro 5.

Had to upgrade to a better laptop when Dawntrail released on Final Fantasy XIV.

my gaming laptop doesn’t have Linux

Why not?

some Windows usage for some gaming

I game on Debian.

Everything works. Even the Nvidia drivers work.

I play Final Fantasy XIV on this laptop with no problems.

Debian is so old it doesn’t work on very modern hardware

Why is it running on my new MSI Katana?

Both claims are true.

Apt has super cow powers…

I honestly don’t understand why Firefox bothers with a google manifest.

Mullvad.

I couldn’t see where it was located, but the staff having the Gadsden flag doesn’t inspire confidence. I’d pass on it for that reason alone.

I play FF XIV on a gaming laptop with a n onboard Nvidia GPU. The only thing I had to install was the game, and the Flatpak, Proton, and XIV Launcher communities have made that trivial.

I use Debian stable.

if something has compromised my sudoer account they have root anyway

So instead of making the thief break a window, you would rather just leave the door open?

I figured out that it just drops you into a root shell, which is a bad thing.

You should try to never login as root. It’s just bad security hygiene.

I run sudo apt update, put in my password, thenonce my repos are updated, I run sudo apt upgrade. Password only has to be input once, unless I get busy and forget to do the upgrade command, in which case I haven’t left a root shell unattended for however long it took me to realize that I left the shell open.

That way if someone else comes along and tries to do stuff, they only have the limited privilege level that my user does.

Why use the - i?

I just sudo [command].
