That’s what they are deploying. This has been possible for awhile, but has recently gotten much creepier: https://groundy.com/articles/wifi-densepose-full-body-tracking-through-walls-using-your/

Nope: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wi-fi-routers-used-to-detect-human-locations-poses-within-a-room

It’s gotten even more capable where it can basically act as a presence sensor through walls as well. It’s not simple device tracking at all.

Yes, but as I said, on a 4GB budget, this matters quite a bit. I run thousands of edge devices on a custom distro with similar constraints, and it adds up quickly. It’s not that it’s insurmountable or anything, but I’m answering the question asked and not getting into the particulars. It’s just a known fact.

Change management on a layered FS, containers everywhere…etc.

Depending on what you’re doing, it can make a big difference. Especially when you’re talking about a 4GB machine with little to no margin of extra working space. Updates will certainly be problematic.

Immutable uses more memory during many operations. You’re probably not going to find anything stable, with a desktop, and all the other bits you’d expect running at under 4G. Safely.

That being said, any other traditional distro is lower maintenance anyway. Not sure why you think immutable is special in that regard.

And saddle them with the debt. Fuck the investors and the cyclical scam machine. They should forfeit that money outright.

I did miss that, though shouldn’t matter if it’s working after reverting.

That’s not how software works. RC is beta software. It includes warnings that there MIGHT be issues running it. Sounds like you found some.

Just revert to the known good work version if you’re not able to debug yourself.

Not sure what “RC7” is, can you clarify?

If you weren’t previously having issues, then just revert back to whatever version wasn’t giving you problems.

Corporate sponsorship in the FOSS community has always existed. It’s how many of your favorite projects have managed to stay alive and thrive, including kernel develop.

Your suspicion and fear is lacking sustenance.

Gross

If it’s heat or hardware it may not show up until CPU, Mem, or GPU are under heavy utilization. That’s why I said monitor your temps and test your memory.

Are you saying games work fine without invoking the third-party tools?

This sounds more like a general hardware or hearing issue. Monitor your temps, and run a memory test at a minimum. Make sure you don’t have a bunch of stuff stacked on your machine or vents clogged.

Yes

What’s your point? Nix is meant for CI, but even still the defaults are set for multi-user operations.

Do you want explain a bit more?

Linux is Linux. If you’re using the standard install packages like Pam, then it’s built specifically for multiple users.

Elaborate more if you could.

You seem to have zero knowledge on the subject, so let me educate you a lil bit:

Data isn’t treated like physical evidence.

Drugs and weapons are physical evidence.

US laws do not cover any protections of ephemeral (non-physical) evidence pertaining to crimes committed ex post facto: meaning law enforcement is not privy to any and all collection of said data if not in scope for a crime committed, unlike…PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.

You can see drugs. You can hold drugs. Law enforcement can make a reasonable assumption that someone shooting a gun in public is breaking the law and seize that gun, because they are actually breaking the law (juris laws dependent) by firing the gun.

If suddenly our laws allowed the assumption that whatever exists on a phone for a random person in public contains something related to a crime, police would be able to stop anyone and everyone on the street everywhere and take their phone or data for simply thinking every person is suspicious. This is why the 4th amendment exists, and why police are enot allowed to do such things. His is why warrants are a thing.

Read up.

Did you read the article and the laws pertaining to data seizure at the border? Crossing the border doesn’t constitue an investigation of ANY kind, and also doesn’t suddenly conjure up some sort of suspicion that a crime is in progress or has been committed, meaning no pretense for charges because PERSONAL DATA was not seized. Good lawd.

Again…you can SEARCH all you want. Whether you find anything is not mandated.

I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand about this.

In your Section A right there: “official proceeding”

There was no crime in progress, suspicious activity, or active charges brought against this person.

Maybe reread the article.

Also, Police do not bring charges, Prosecuting Attorneys do. Police are only responsible for investigations and arresting. Everything else is cleared by the legal system first.
