So SOP for travel anywhere near a border now should be full imaging of phone and encrypted backup on a server you control, wipe of phone before getting within CBP jurisdiction, then re-image once out of their jurisdiction. Hell, have an image to flash with nothing but early-internet shock memes (goatse, tubgirl, kids in a sandbox, etc) for the time while in CBP jurisdiction.
If you’re a half-decent developer AND can talk to people there are still lots of jobs. Roles that are pure coding have been shipped to Poland, India, and the Philippines. People forget that coding is only like 40% of a software project
Self-hosted Gitlab is the answer - I really don’t trust any cloud platform especially when they start to get opinionated like this
Wipeout Pulse is great as well! I also loved DJ Portable Max (there’s 3 of them)
I think it’s a bit the other way around. The “side hustles” ARE his main gig and how he raised the money to buy the warehouse. The car gig is the dream gig he wants and is working toward and is hoping social media can get him there.
Edison Motors!
I do know a few people (very well) who had a super good life then friend group gets them into drug scene and life falls apart.
You’d be surprised - I was this person who had a “super good life” and from the outside “had friends that got me into drugs and caused problems” but trust me, that was a facade and I was 100% seeking it out - that’s why I was hanging out with those friends in the first place.
Dear god, is today the day I see Lemmy turn into Helen Lovejoy - “won’t somebody think of the kids!”
Yeah I’m a pop fan but as exciting as COSMIC is, it’s still just not ready. The Gnome version with the cosmic gnome-shell extensions is much better.
Desktop: Pop!_OS 24.04 (thinking of rolling back to Gnome as cosmic is too rough around the edges still)
Servers: Ubuntu Server 24.04.4
Containers: Debian Trixie or specific images for the project I’m working on
I wish, just check Atlanta - winding stroads as far as the eye can see
This Apple TV deal has me fucking pissed - I just want a nice little Sky Sports torrent within a few hours of the race, is that too much to ask?
When Ieet other Linux folks in person, they’re great. Online though …
And they’re so loose that’s it’s a miracle if your charger stays in. Maybe if there were updates and changes to prevent this I would understand but as someone who’s working 99% of the time while traveling, it’s a surprise when the ports work and I rely on battery banks heavily
Check out MangoJelly on YouTube. The guy has hundreds of tutorials for FreeCAD and they’re great
Is Epoch1 considered post beta? None-the-less, it’s an early release of a pretty aspirational DE. Give it a year or two and check back for something stable
Cosmic is still beta but I’m excited for it none-the-less as I use Gnome with all the cosmic extensions today. I just find that KDE feels dated and limited and Cosmics ease of customizability is very appealing
Mint, (?)ubuntu, and Pop!_OS are what I suggest because 1) most software install guides target these distros. Anything that uses a package manager other than apt means extra googling and pain for those who just want an OS that works and could care less about the miniscule advantages of one over another 2) stable releases and driver support and 3) similar UI to whatever they’re coming over from. Someone else ITT mentioned KDE for Windows and Gnome(or Cosmic once it’s stable) for Mac folk and I think that tracks well
I have no doubt that the government has access to zero days and/or just straight up image your phone so they can crack it at a later point in time if/when it is convenient to them. I used to think that was giving them too much credit and is in tinfoil hat territory but with the convergence of private interests and government, I truly think this is the reality of what can/does happen
