Been using OpenWRT for a long time on a cheap consumer router. Finally decided to upgrade to a fanless N100 appliance. Had to choose between OPNsense or pfSense.
No user data was accessed and even if it had, through the use of the very high-entropy recovery code, it wouldn’t have mattered. 1Password continues to be The Good People™️
I’ve been with my wife going on 20 years. She drives me insane at times and I her. I’m willing to look through her annoyances because she looks through mine. Before I met my wife I had one relationship I was 100% was THE ONE™️. She wasn’t. Neither will OP’s be. Break ups are hard, and they’re hard not to take personally, but they are just another person’s opinion.
The next one will come, most likely when you least expect it and have resigned yourself to “it won’t happen”.
I’m very aware that there’s nothing to stop a bad actor from ignoring whatever is on the blockchain. But imagine removing all the web3/cryptobro bullshit that makes us all sick and instead just look at it as a record of who’s done what to which file. It could also be a centralised DB but it seems no one should have that power. A smart contract (aka ethereum) that says “anything derived from this sends some transactional fee up toward the originator”.
I mean I’m aware it won’t work.
I’m just saying that I can’t come up with anything better and so I also believe the battle is lost.
Yup we do. There’s a couple of certification schemes that are decent, but you get what you pay for in offsets. Most aren’t really offset, just planting a tree that’ll disappear in 10 years.
Geological storage of air extracted carbon is the only standard I’d fully trust to genuinely act as an offset. Bloody expensive though.
I used to be a big believer in cooking stoves, but there’s research that shows it becomes an additional stove, not a replacement to open fire cooking. So that ain’t really working then.
The only solution, if there is one, is to put your art on the blockchain and specifically license against it being used without attribution on same blockchain and the find some kind of license model that trickles value up the chain.
All companies want open standards and regulation of the big players when they’re small. All companies want high barriers to entry and regulation of the small players when they’re big.
All companies want what is best for them. In that matter, they differ very little from people.
I can definitely see what you’re saying. But if you start to add packages, what do you gain in terms of known stability? Seems to me you might as well then just “be good” about not adding too many packages to a malleable distribution.
I think immutable OSes serve two purposes: For the developer who needs to operate multiple environments at the same time, and for the utter novice who could screw something up otherwise.
This audience, us, is the exactly middle ground. We like tinkering. We like setting things up.
OPNsense is ready to route pretty much after the default install, like any other off-the-shelf router. It’s only really complicated if you have complicated needs.
To be fair to AliExpress reputable dealers are plenty, they’re just hard to find amongst all the rubbish. I had an amazing experience buying from some dealers, with significantly better follow-up support than what you’d receive in the west.
