Another upside is the easy permission management.

You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app’s file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.

It’s not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.

NixOS and Guix are both very beginner-unfriendly. If you’re not very comfortable with Linux and its command line, I’d recommend against using them for personal systems.

I think it’s referring to the driver version 570, which isn’t stable yet but working fine in beta.

I use Wayland with Nvidia (proprietary beta driver) every day (including for applications running over Wine) and have no issues.

So while some may still have issues, I certainly wouldn’t call it “completely busted”.

Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year

Not doubting them, but I don’t understand how that’s possible.

Storing the email addresses and expiration dates takes an irrelevant amount of storage space, even if they had billions of cutomers.

Sending the emails should also not cost thousands, even if a significant amount of customers regularly let their certificates expire (which hopefull isn’t the case).

So where are the tens of thousands of yearly costs coming from?
