Buy and use a burner phone while you’re there, and remember that VPNs are illegal.

My firewall varies from installation-to-installation, as it’s always client-side with a custom DNS provider. Right now, I’m using YaST Firewall on my main machine, iptables on my old ThinkPad, and my other machines are currently between operating systems. In the past, I have also dabbled in ufw, pf, and awall.

In addition to that, I generally use NextDNS (though I also get excellent results with Mullvad DNS).

My policy is simple: reject all incoming connections, except for Torrent and Syncthing.

This was mentioned in Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. So, what do we do about it?

Nah, fuck that. I’m using yash.

Yeah, this is so fucking annoying. I’ve been banging on about Signal for years, but everyone except a small handful of my wisest friends insist upon using WhatsApp and Discord.

Almost everyone I know also uses Instagram, and no other social media. I am yet to meet someone in real life who even has Mastodon.

Honestly very accurate. In fact, I only use Arch because Void wasn’t playing nice last time I tried it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the actual fuck, Google‽

I swear to Hephaestus, at this point I’m considering switching to UBPorts or Sailfish OS or something…

Hey, you know how channels like Luke Smith, Mental Outlaw, and DistroTube are kinda right-wing? Well, this guy is arguably worse. Transphobia, racism, conspiracy theories; and he’s not exactly quiet about his ideas either, as exemplified by the title and thumbnail of this video.

Please avoid posting any of this guy’s content here.

Nope, typewriter

Ah, well I’m not too sure. The typewriter itself came from a charity shop, and my grandma bought me the ribbon. I have only owned it for a few days, so I haven’t bought anything myself.

There’ll be plenty of places online, though, and of course you do have [email protected] at your disposal.

Alright

Surprisingly, just one. I did make a couple of mistakes, though. (e.g. typing an 8 instead of a ’ on the bottom-left corner of the arch, and adding the dashes after 9.9.9.9 in the ping output instead of later on).

It was either red or black, and Arch definitely doesn’t use red in its branding.

Huh, cool!

Well, it’s a very stripped down installation. No bootloader or init system, no display drivers, busybox replaces a load of stuff, ed(1) is the only editor available, and a few things were compiled from source.

When you’ve got 0B of storage and 0B of RAM, you’ve got to work with what you have.

Mate, it’s not that deep.

Thanks!

Can anything not play Doom?

Ah, my apologies. Just a sheet of normal ISO A4 printer paper. Nothing fancy.
