Brave has been criticised for their in-browser shady crypto and most recently about sharing user data to be used for training AI, or something along those lines. In contrast ublock or umatrix are completely transparent plugins created by the community that has pretty much become the standard.

Vivaldi has adblock built in as well, but I'm not a huge fan of that either.

I perfectly understand that chromium is not chrome. Unfortunately the development of modern web browsers is so fast and complicated that it isn't possible to maintain a fork that is secure by a small organisation. You can do cosmetic things like Vivaldi or brave or whatever but forking the engine itself is a herculean task. See how well palemoon or waterfox are faring.

It is a monopoly. They've been doing crap like not adhering to common standards and adding their own stuff on top so that chrome compatible websites might not work in Firefox. That wouldn't be the case if they weren't so big so as to force others to follow whatever design choices they make.

Because they're planning to cripple ublock and other adblockers in manifest v3? They also made it so that chromium can't sync with Google accounts anymore. I love vivaldi too and I hope they are able to survive whatever Google is planning.

Nothing is perfect. Every distribution I used have had bugs at some point.

I would usually wait a while before, maybe until the first point release to upgrade so that there is time to iron out all the teething issues.

The actual problem is only encountered when the raspi-firmware package is (re)configured or when the kernel/initramfs is updated.

Have at look at this: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

I found this to be invaluable when I was borking stuff all the time.

My main draw towards Linux is the exact opposite experience. I have a Linux install that has been carried over three computer and two harddisk changes over 10 years and it's still as good, or slightly better than it used to be.

My suggestion would be to start with something stable like Debian and read the manual when you want to tinker with it. Especially this: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

Yeah. Like the character in memento I suppose, albeit in a subtler way.

That sounds pretty amazing. Is it an expensive thing to get into?

Is there something like Cars for Dummies? All of this sounds really cool but I've no idea what any of it means.

The thing is I've been making a cup of coffee reliably every morning for more than a decade and I still need to spend time thinking about whether I'm going to do it.

Last time I checked this was a known bug. DHCPv6 would even cause many containers to not start or to not get an address.

I understand this part :) I use a fairly complex firewall at work though I only know bits and pieces from reading different manuals. I think the part I didn't understand was how exactly the routing worked differently in IPv4 vs v6. I get that because NAT happens in IPv4, packets can't be routed at all without the firewall/router but I wasn't sure what was the mechanism by which v6 made sure that packets went through the router, especially when you have stuff like v6 DHCP relays.

My ISP dynamically allocates a /64. I don't even know why they do that.

So even though the device has a public address, the route is through the firewall, hence the ability to filter traffic?

It looks oddly asymmetrical, like weight is missing from one side but otherwise it's good for your hand I suppose.

Honestly the problem is actually getting a chance. I'm not American and English is not my first language either.

I had people get very angry with media from my home country for characters in a movie wearing black coloured makeup and was called racist for trying to tell them that blackface is not a thing in our culture and you can't judge foreign media based on your own cultural norms.

I'm dyslexic and make a word salad almost all the time, without even being aware of it most of the time. Would people honestly give me a chance if I accidentally mix up the order of people and colored? It seems like they wouldn't, given my interactions.

Isn't that the thing from Inglorious Bastards?

You're putting words into that person's mouth. He said there are a lot of people on these communities who unfailingly defend totalitarian and repressive actions taken by China or Russia. Many trying to discredit people who express opposing views (like you tried to do) or denying that they did those things or how not bad those things might be (also like you tried to do).

US is nowhere in here. There's no one here right now defending US, saying republicans are awesome or that Afghanistan, Iraq or Vietnam were morally right or that CIA/NSA works for the best interests of people. You'll find if you open your mind a little that there are a lot of people critical of how things run in the US, even people who live there.

Disclaimer: I'm not from the US.

It's still crap but beats not having an insurance.
