There is less than 4% more code in C than JavaScript. That's pretty much, many features on the gnome-desktop is using JavaScript too, like gestures and mouse events.
I would worry more about the rights of the workers, in tech, companies uses a lot of slavery work and get resources from places in a bad way, forcing more slavery in very bad conditions which is basically stealing resources from other countries. If you want something ethic, you could go to Fairphone which is more expensive than others for less capacity/power, but it is ethical.
Apart from that, any android have the ability to install a new ROM, just search for the support for it, as more support it has less difficult it will be to install custom and clean ROM, so doesn't really matter where it comes from. Just check the support for custom ROMs and if you are really worried about equality go to Fairphone.
Linux is the most used OS, it has many attacks every day. The problem is that you can't see it and that's why you think there aren't Linux systems or attacks to it, because you can't see them.
Gnome is coded with JavaScript (lmao 🤣) so yeah, I Think you are right.
EDIT: Actually, even if JavaScript and other languages have this issue, the value 1.7518248558044434 has not this issue. There is another reply that explains it and makes totally sense. But still pretty lame to know the desktop runs with JavaScript. (Yeah, I hate Gnome)
Actually, I always end up using ADB tools to get files or photos, you can get recursive files to get them all. I do it even with people that tries to get photos from their Windows machines, so I don't think it's a problem with Linux neither. This is the best way to get safely and correctly all your files.
You can activate it with these scripts https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts (I think it's the easiest way for you as you are already using it and the only issue it's the stupid message to force you to pay for it)
But would be nice if you were not forced to use Microsoft Office.
That's why tunnels like Cloudflare and AWS exists to serve your home services to the public without exposing your IP. https://www.kali.org/tools/routersploit/ is a tool for example to target routers, if bad hackers can make botnet to brute force your servers 24/7, they can implement other exploits and you better don't take any mistake any day.
The only safe device is the one isolated from internet and others connections. If you really want to learn to have your own home lab, then learn it → https://tailscale.com/ and stop being lazy, there is no need to expose your IP, there is absolute no reason unless you are that lazy, but even you said you prefer paying a cheap VPS than messing with it.
Say it again, let's keep this loop going, but work a bit more on your responses.
Basically you learn everything from start to finish. Maybe you could even setup a proper VM host using proxmox or something.
The cost of a server at home as you are saying is much more than hiring it online. The only difference is how you boot the BIOS to install the ISO burned into a USB. A hosting service would require you to do it different, and you will anyway learn it in this way, which could help you in the future to deploy some product ready or for your work. So there is no difference at all, and you also need to secure it.
So as expected it isn’t really risky as long as you take the appropriate security actions.
A VPS doesn’t solve any security issues with your website itself.
Yeah, it solves that they only infect your server on a hosting provider and not your home where you have your phone, router, more devices where they can test more exploits to them. Also, your hosting provider normally also monitors for suspicious requests so if it is infected, your provider will inform you of suspicious activities.
I’m of course referring to a real DMZ and not a DMZ host.
Maybe but why would it matter, especially enough to pay cloud bills?
Because we are talking home-made stuff, we didn't talk about a real firewall or any infrastructure, and even doing that is much more expensive than the cheap VPS.
I have a cheap VPS for my website but that is just because I’m behind a CGNAT and I won’t bother to solve that.
Same, that's why I am saying there is no need to expose your IP, unnecessary risks.
Home routers aren't firewalls or something similar, they have some minimal logic that can act like a firewall, but they aren't. There is no need to expose your IP, there are many alternatives to do stuff without exposing it.
