The problem with Unix is that everything else is much much worse.

Lots of people have come up with fun little toy OSes, but nothing you could actually use.

Arch doesn't support ARM at all. Arm is somebody else hobby project.

The first time I heard discussion of this with no credible reasons I stocked up on many TP-Link layer 2 switches and several TP-Link access points. I have them all behind a firewall and I only allow the AP's to talk directly outbound when I choose to update the firmware. I have yet to see it attempt to dial home without my prompting it to and I have always been able to download firmware updates. The reason I stocked up is that TP-Link thus far have had the best result negotiating and maintaining proper speed and duplex on long cable runs. I have been quite happy with them. If A USA based company can make something as reliable I will switch to them assuming they have been brutally tested by many others with very custom setups. I have tested many AP's and switches over the years.

Am I the only person here that puts the AP behind a dedicated firewall with its own dedicated LAN/Subnet?

Anything with an sfp slot and a decent "optic" should blow tp-link's link stability out of the water. In about the same price range, have you tried mikrotik?

> It is however fully self-documented and interactive.

Unfortunately not true. I've fired up emacs once or twice, and couldn't even figure out how to save a document because it didn't show me how to do that. It might be more documented than vi (but that bar is *on the floor, vi has one of the most discovery-hostile user interfaces ever made), but it's not self-documented enough to just pick up and use with no instruction.

In unconfigured emacs, you can literally just go Buffer>Save in the toolbar. If you didn't know to look in the buffer menu, then you didn't read even a little bit of the tutorial that appears when you open it

>A computer with 64 GB of memory is 4 times more likely to encounter memory errors than one with 16 GB of memory.

No. Or well, not exactly. More bits will flip randomly, but if between the two systems only the total installed memory changed, both systems will see the same amount of memory errors, because bit flips on the additional 48 GB will not result in errors, because they will not be used. Memory errors scale with memory used not with memory installed.

The extra unused memory might even act as shielding to cosmic rays, but the extra electrical load on the memory controller might more than balance that out for unbuffered sticks

Oh, I agree that the initial request is more than reasonable. Titanium Backup is something i miss every day.

Especially since Seedvault is.... ekhm, lacking.

tiberious726 · 5 months ago
Seedvault is the /worst/. I ranted about it here a few months ago, and the lead dev says he's aware they really need something better: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42541520

This is no 'nothing special' with Obfs4proxy. DPI sees it as random byte stream, thus your government can decide to block unknown protocols. Instead, you should trick DPI into thinking it sees HTTPS. Unless your government decides to block HTTPS.
tiberious726 · 5 months ago
Exactly this. Hell, for OP's use case of accessing things like twitter, a good old fashioned https proxy would be entirely fine, and likely not even illegal.

Didn’t OpenAI sign a deal with Microsoft that Microsoft gets full access to all their IP until OpenAI claims they have established AGI?

So it would be in OpenAIs best interest to at least try to work and claim towards it

tiberious726 · 6 months ago
Didn't the terms of that deal define AGI as "an AI that generates at least 1 billion in annual revenue"?
