I'm curious how secure LineageOS is. It doesn't seem to have the resources of Apple/Google to respond to vulnerabilities. I haven't even found anything on this topic at their website. Googling "lineageos security response policy" haven't found anything useful, either.

How does it compare to flagship Samsungs/Pixels/iPhones? Is it usable in, say, corporate settings that do have some security standards in the vein of "two years old iPhone OK, six years old Android not"?

Security is a bit different for different people. If you want to do browsing minimising ads/spying from rubbish lineage is there. Also one can block minimise data, improve battery life by avoiding playstore

> corporate settings that do ha

Use a dedicated phone

Unfortunately it seems LineageOS isn't available for most (if not all) common budget/mid-range phones in my country.

Does anyone here have experience in porting AOSP/LineageOS to an unsupported device? Any suggested materials and resources?

I have the spare time to give it a go on getting it for my Samsung model, but no idea where to start.

Please try https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki for recent devices (Android oreo and later). GSI is fine; of course not everything is perfect. Also google XDA GSI forums for specific advice

And bought 3 workstations instead of 3 servers.

IMHO the headline of "Why Enzymit Decided to Build its Own On-Prem HPC Infrastructure" is a bit... stretched.

Both of which are useless when the only place you have to spend them is a society no longer worth living in.

Some call it long term prudence. Round here we call it not shitting on your own doorstep.

Every time this discussion comes up on HN I get downvoted for being completely against adblock. It's crazy how far people will go to justify taking food off other people's plate. Usually the argument about tracking comes up. As if it's used for anything other than attempt to sell you products and services. Completely screw over small businesses and screw the content creators. On a venture capitalist forum. The hypocrisy is unreal.

I am genuinely concerned that you feel bad. But do you know how much money poor people pay to watch ads + all the scam ads they get (and unfortunately lose money). Seriously, test it. (I used to live in 3rd world and now use adblock)...

> Completely screw over small businesses and screw the content creators. On a venture capitalist forum

Then please try to screw VCs (not innocent people in developing world that want to see something for 1GB data per month and they lose so much money for ads). Sure please bill the VCs.

Yes, the hypocrisy is unreal.

>I think its important to recognise that quite a lot of modern web based companies are running their business on the 0 cents model. That is they take the marginal cost of a customer and push it down to zero and rely on scale to make a profit from it.

Well, that's their problem.

There should absolutely be a "right to speak with a human", like a restaurant must pass health inspections, and other such things.

If they can't afford it as a basic cost of doing business, they can always close.

Why do you choose such a company to do business with at the first place?

> Part of me thinks (perhaps naively) if I had the ability to speak with a real person over the phone, we could sort this out instead of constant emails or creating tickets that go into a black hole. As more companies outsource, automate, or severely cut their customer service department, there needs to be some kind of pressure to stop these frustrating experiences from happening.

Look at Dell or HP customer service. Google, Github or Digital ocean will become the same. Yes, you will never get the product designer or systems or devops engineer from those companies. The customer service will repeat the same thing million times over. (I lost Apple account, and unlike Google, I could reach Apple but they just repeated the same thing. (i.e) password is wrong; not our problem).

Also note that if there is direct connection to devops or dev, people ask silly questions to waste time. (i.e) These companies pay just $5000 per year to run their entire business with profits 100X and expect $10,000 per month DevOps will troubleshoot their problems.

> Voting with our dollars doesn't work when these companies are so integrated with our lives.

Example please. As long as it is not w e a p o n s all is wide open market.
