This seems necessary if they’re to maintain an IP ban list. You shouldn’t just be able to unban yourself by submitting an information deletion request.

Maybe they’re about to solder it on “dead-bug” style? lol

There’s a few different services you can use to set it up. I quite like Buildkite since they’ve got a pretty easy setup for running jobs on your own hardware, but I think several other CI services have a self-hosting option.
The best part about it for me is I can run GPU tests and do automatic screenshot diffs for my game engine. Normally renting a GPU server is super expensive, but it’s basically free to run myself using my old hardware.
I self-host a decent bit of stuff. My setup has been to rent rack space in a datacenter to put my own storage server in, plus a second server at my house that I mirror backups between. I run my own VPN, “Cloud” storage, lemmy instance, game servers, websites, CI build systems, media streaming, etc… You can find some cheap server hardware on eBay that’s only a generation or two old, which you’ll need if you’re running in a datacenter, but for home servers it’s super easy to just set up an old desktop with a battery backup.
There’s plenty of seedbox companies out there, you can get 10Gbps+ connections and they run the torrent client for you so there’s no upload happening from your local PC at all… Many offer VPN capabilities at the same time, but for general browsing I use a VPS with my own wireguard.


An image is a quantization of reality. An image alone is biometric data if it’s a picture of a face, fingerprint, or any other identifiable feature of a person.
On linux it’s just called running an executable
Edit: As a less snarky answer, you can run Android apps natively on linux by installing Android OS in a container using something like Anbox Waydroid.
I think the biggest thing lacking in this kind of hardware is displays. Where can you find a phone-sized 1080p display that doesn’t require signing some NDA or reverse engineering the specs? OLED would be even better for battery life.
I don’t see that probably 360p black-or-white e-ink display is going to be a good experience unless you’re comparing it to a flip phone.


Can that not run through Proton? You could probably launch it through Steam, even if you bought your copy somewhere else. I have loads on external apps added just for easy setup with Proton


Bit rot happens on much longer time scales (like 10+ years), and can happen regardless of use. Most storage media has this as an issue though, so that’s why it’s always good to have backups.
Save games probably wouldn’t have a huge effect on write endurance, but certainly in some uses that write constantly like a dashcam, it could potentially destroy the flash in a matter of months. There are endurance sd cards for this kind of application, but they usually come in smaller sizes, and I’ve still had them fail eventually.


Once upon a time I owned a GameCube memory card, specifically so that I could have my own save progression when visiting my friend’s house (who actually owned the GameCube and games). That may not really apply anymore?
On another note though, making the sd card read only means it will last significantly longer. Flash storage (like SD cards) have limited write cycles, so this preserves the games themselves while leaving the much smaller save files to be written somewhere else where they’re easier to back up.


That does seem better for fine grained control. Personally I don’t really bother with much outside the block lists, and the defaults work well, so uBlock Origin has been fine for me.


uBlock Origin will also show you a list of all the blocked resources and their domains. It’s somewhat effective against tracking (though admittedly I don’t know how uMatrix does it, maybe it’s a little different)


What are you talking about? With uBlock Origin you can customize the block lists, change it per site, and easily select your own elements to block…


“nouveau” != “Nvidia open source drivers”. Nouveau was community made by reverse engineering. Nvidia has released their own open source drivers now.
If that was the case, maybe they would have responded with that instead of covering up the evidence


There’s a big difference between a reference implementation and a proof of concept. A proof of concept just shows it’s possible at all, but a reference implementation is meant as a reference for “you should do it this way”. Expect most companies to just directly copy the reference because they’ll feel it’s a waste of time developing their own system that’s in compliance.


I’m sure that you’ll be spending no less than $500/month on electricity before you even show up on the list.
I’ve seen several codebases that have a typedef or using keyword to map uint64_t to uint64 along with the others, but _t seems to be the convention for built-in std type names.
