Accountability? For tech giants? AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAA
I would need to factory reset the whole server for that, which would be … highly inconvenient for me. It took me quite a long time to get everything working, and I don’t wanna loose my configuration.
It sounds like your configuration is not sufficiently backed up.
Data you care about (that includes software configuration files) should be backed up at least three times on two different mediums with one copy being stored off-site (3-2-1 rule).
Also, how should I access the device when I don’t see anything? Is there a workaround or something when I want to reboot without a monitor and keyboard?
There are two ways that I have found for this:
- Initrd SSH: Just run an sshd inside your initrd. After reboot, you connect from another machine and enter your decryption password through SSH.
- TPM unlock & measured boot: You use a TPM to measure whether your bootloader, kernel, initrd are all valid and then the TPM releases the decryption key to the kernel; automatically unlocking LUKS.
have google privacy issues been replaced
Note that, while µG minimises data sent to Google, if an app uses Google's services in any way or has its own Google analytics or whatever, Google privacy issues still exist. Though in most cases to a much lesser degree.
That and ease of deployment.
If you as a developer wanted a non-technical user to test a thing you fixed for them, you could ask them to try an AppImage from your CI pipeline and they would easily be able to install it. They're great for that.
Also, trying out a package can leave unwanted system state around in traditional imperative system package managers. AppImages OTOH are self-contained and user-installable.
Yeah, something like that. Something that still sounds very much like your name but is comprehensible to Spanish people.
Depending on what you want to do with it, more cores might require more RAM.
Don't. Use a proper package manager for permanent installation of things. There's a reason we have those.
Yeah, as a nixos-unstable user, you've been running "23.11" for the past 6 months ;)
In my 4 years of intensively using Nix/NixOS, I've never used the NUR. I wouldn't know what for tbh. as it's easier for everyone to have things in Nixpkgs instead.
I’ve been prohibited from expressing a political opinion in public
That doesn't sound enforceable unless you're an official representative of the company.
Funny story but that's how the patent law works in Germany and I believe at least Japan aswell. I don't know about other places but I wouldn't be surprised if this applied to the majority of the industrialised world.
If you come up with an idea that could be patented while employed, you must to tell your employer about it and offer it to them. In return, they must either register it themselves and give you an appropriate compensation or decline ownership of it; allowing you to register it yourself.
Rationale behind that, if you work in i.e. IT and invent an IT-related thing after you've clocked out for the day, you probably wouldn't have had the idea if you hadn't spent the majority of your day working on the topic for a couple years.
I think this is actually quite fair as, even if the company decides to keep it for themselves, it'd register, use, license and defend the patent for you (for a great cut of course).
That reminds me, STT, TTS and a tiny LLM are feasible to run on phone hardware these days. You could conceivably build something like Google's data gobbling solution but fully local and offline.
