Non- phone carrier variants of Google Pixels because of Grapheme OS. The crap that Verizon pumps out blocks the boot loader to be unlocked, but the ones google and amazon sells can do OEM boot loader unlocks.

Edit: also want to point out, pixels usually get the most updates out of all androids. So long as its in the support window, google will update drivers and kernels for it.

In the realm of firewall applications, i use the following: ° Ipfire is easy to use, but lacks ipv6 support and it doesn't have otp. It has lots of packages though.

° Alpine is good, if you don't want a GUI or want to spend time figuring out how to build a web ui (really good for beginners as its mostly xml)

° openwrt is good fit for low end hardware (SPARC or arm processors mostly) but also works on x86.

° opnsense - like pfsense, but more up to date. Has some quirks in it (like if you block both incoming and outgoing, but just want to allow 80/443, the rules look weird...like the direction you have to allow is in, but destination is 80/443. Very strange bug that isn't in pfsense).

° hardenedbsd firewall - literally just opnsense but with hbsd's fully patched kernel. No repo though.

That being said, you can make any distro a firewall, just use iptables/pf/ipfw/ipfilter rules through command line, and you can add anything in that distros repo you can think of.

Personally, I'd advise to use opnsense over pfsense. Opnsense kernels are more up to date, and the devs are less toxic.

Ipfire is a Linux alternative that is easy to use, just no otp.

The word you're looking for is steganography

Mostly, its my own personal choice / preference.

When I see chatgpt spun up code, sometimes its rock solid. Sometimes it uses weird logic that is hard to follow. I prefer it to review my code, rather than review its.

I'm kind of partial to how military concepts use cases for ai. Like anything that can do damage or complex tasks must be done by a human. Mediocre tasks, I can see a use for it.

Like for instance, write a code to automate scheduling jobs to backup multiple systems using this fileset to backup or skip I'd feel OK to let ai do. They should all be basically the same. But to script code that is critical to infrastructure and/or complex I feel it is not the right tool to use.

Edit: all LLMs are basically the same imo. The github one might have access to more code though, idk never used it. If it does look at private repos, then I'd say it would be better, but honestly I think they're about the same.

Lord have mercy. Canada has lost their minds.

Hahhaa yes

Chatgpt is good for code reviews. I wouldn't trust it for making code though.

More like google searches and a lot of CTL+c and CTL+v

Grsecurity stopped providing their kernel patches for free years ago. The alpine grsec patches are years old -- like before spectre/meltdown. Don't use them. Just use hardenedbsd/netbsd/openbsd.

I've got a t620, and am using it as a firewall. It has aes-ni so I can generate certs. Plus it has a pcie slot, so I threw a nic in there. Its powerful for around the same price as a raspberry pi is going these days. I think I got it for about $80 plus $10 or $15 for the nic.

Just always browse incognito/private. I haven't gotten hit yet. I strive for a leave no cookies behind type browser.

Palestinians also contain Christians. Its just the modern term for gentiles in Israel now.

Source?

Yes, but it was loaded with self made blanks. He probably messed up the blanks and it shot some shrapnel.

I mean, if I buy a game on steam and valve goes belly up, how do I retain my games? Game companies were all too eager to stop selling physical discs for PC games and instead give you a code for you to redeem. And you can't sell it after you play it like with console games, because it goes against most PC game companies' terms of service (edit - ...to sell your account)

If you buy a security camera that is only available through the cloud and the company stops paying for the cloud service, all you have is a paper weight

Just another reminder that you don't own anything digital - companies do. Forgo these cheap cloud products, use hardware that you can control

People do play games offline. Personally, I don't care about achievements. They mean nothing to me, except knowing that the game developer is tracking my play through, which I hate.

Wallflowers, blink 182, linkin park, jayz...seriously looks like my CD collection back in the day.
