Do you have a Ryzen CPU by any chance? I had an issue like this for ages and it turns out it was a faulty Ryzen power state that was disabled by default on Windows, but not on Linux. If this happens to be your issue, there are ways you can disable the power state in software: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ryzen#Soft_lock_freezing

…I can’t think of a “privacy-focused code editor” because code editors are generally not known for having telemetry/tracking/anything privacy-invasive in the first place? A “privacy-respecting” code editor is just a normal one. Use whatever you like. Vim is great. Maybe Kate if you want a GUI.

I suppose it’s targeted towards getting people who fall for these scams to get onto Linux. At least they’d probably fall victim to fewer tech scams if the scammer doesn’t know how to deal with Linux.

There was one question where it wouldn’t let me do this. I think the media streaming question I had to click “Other”.

Never used a dashboard… I just manage my services on the cli with plain docker commands.

What really? I thought the screenshot looked like electron/web app slop but I was like, maybe they’ve just gone for a “modern” gtk/qt theme. It’s actually just a Firefox PWA?

It looks like a honeypot, and wtf is a “private cell network”? How are they gonna do that? SMS and phone calls aren’t E2EE

I suppose that begs the question of whether or not privacy (as used by this community) inherently means private in the colloquial sense, like the way a diary is private. Because to me, a e.g. public static website with no kind of profiling of its users is privacy-respecting, but obviously not private in the colloquial sense—it’s a public resource.

I do use SMS sometimes and I use it strictly for things that I’m happy to be basically public. Same for using other protocols like unencrypted email.

A stock smartphone is also locked in to mandatory telemetry, like a stock dumbphone. The practical difference is that there’s a much smaller community for installing custom FOSS OSes onto dumbphones compared to smartphones.

I think you’re conflating security with privacy. Not that they are unrelated, but something can be e.g. unencrypted but lack telemetry.

Not that dumbphones are inherently private, but I don’t think they’re less private either. They’re just what you use if you have no need for all the smartphone functions.

Watchtower for automated updates. For containers that don’t have a latest tag to track, editing the version number manually and then docker compose pull && docker compose up -d is simple enough.

I use catgirl

Yes, if you use the “task list” block. You can also have checkbox bullet points but I don’t use them, not really sure what the use-case for those are when you can just use the task list.

I self-host Notesnook and found it easy to set up. Been using it as my main note-taking app for years now and I’m really happy with it.

Someone who’s in the business of stealing computers would just stick it in a faraday bag. I guess for an entire server you’d need a sizeable cage though.

If you want a gui editor maybe Kate?

Idk about Immich but Vaultwarden is just a Cargo project no? Cargo statically links crates by default but I think can be configured to do dynamic linking too. The Rust ecosystem seems to favour static linking in general just by convention.

Thanks, didn’t realise I could do that!

It wouldn’t be hard to add a clause mandating that websites provide an easy-to-access “reject all” button that actually rejects all cookies.

I don’t think there is really any learning curve to “learning HTML” if you are not trying to do anything funky and you just want a simple static website that functions, like OP said, “like a business card”. You may as well just type it out yourself. If you’ve never written HTML before just look at w3schools.

??? Arch Wiki is just plain html and css? You might be experiencing the ddos arch services have experienced lately. In any case I’ve not had any problems on Librewolf, although out of the websites you listed I only regularly visit the Arch Wiki and occasionally the PostmarketOS site.
