A browser is one example, what’s the alternative to that other than sticking it inside some sandbox or something?

Not supporting a 3+ year old Intel wifi chipset out of the box is kind of wild though, that’s a super standard part.

I always thought that ublock origin in advanced mode was a suitable replacement? Maybe I’m off base with that.

Title is incorrect, it’s not Mullvad donating the money but one of the owners.

Any of them really, there should be very little difference between distros on the latest kernels.

You can try and figure out what’s accessing the array:

fatrace | grep /mnt/mountpoint/

This will show you the process, type of access (read, write, open, etc), and path. If you don’t see anything right away just leave it running for a bit.

TBH USB-C to 3.5mm adapters are better anyways IMO, they’re very small and just stay attached to my headphones, have a better DAC and amplifier inside than most onboard 3.5mm jacks ever did, and it never gets stuffed full of pocket lint which was always an issue on phones that had an onboard jack.

Is there any window in the room (or close by) where you could stick the vent outside when drying stuff?

I don’t see how it could condense the very hot damp air from the drier without an active refrigerant loop drawing a fair amount of power. It would also heat up the laundry room like crazy.

TBH it should be a configurable option on every update tool. On my windows install I have unigetui set to only show updates older than 14 days so winget, pip, etc don’t even show brand new updates.

If you have a need for high levels of privacy it’s the only way to do it, or just leave your phone at home.

It doesn’t really defeat the purpose of having a mobile phone either IMO, most stuff I do on my phone is already offline (maps, notes, taking photos, etc).

Would need to disable the cell radios, wifi and bluetooth too since those are also used to track device location.

In that case another degoogled ROM sounds more like what you’re after?

Graphenes thing is hardware security.

The Pixel phones were the only devices with secure enough hardware to make GrapheneOS viable, that’s why they developed it for them.

It wasn’t because of some deal with google or anything like that.

Not open source is an absolute no for me.

I use zram only with no swap on the SSD for my laptop/desktop.

For my server it has zram too but with extra low priority swap on the SSD just in case zram gets full up.

Fedora w/ KDE always just feels like home to me, I like the defaults so I don’t spend much time mucking around, and it feels stable and reliable.

I feel like a linux ISO swarm would have quite a lot of fully connectable peers.

I’d just delete older stuff you’ve already watched, unless it’s something you plan on re-watching at least.

Windows sandbox is easy.
