you could in micropython at least. it's not unixy but for example see https://github.com/Rybec/pyRTOS

I can use insomnium for almost everything, but it's not as complete as postman. randomly I'll run into some problem that makes me go back.

for instance, there's no way to just enter binary data on a readable format to send over websocket. with postman there's an obvious dropdown to send hex encoded data as a binary message.

on one hand I agree. on the other, google has historically been afraid of the verb to google becoming generic, so of course I'd like to see that happen.

I think the middle ground is say google it, but make it clear you mean google it on an alternative search engine

you don't think they'll just use some app to verify it? my state's mdl doesn't even show any personal info other than name, if they want birthday they have to scan it

fwiw, my state's mobile id app doesn't even ask for the location permission. so maybe some, but it's not universal

your phone isn't safe from anyone unless it's been restarted since last unlocked, and is reasonably new. they have exploits for after it's been unlocked incl while things are pinned

you realize they're more than just your picture on a screen, right? there's a whole public key private key verification process that happens, which covers your photo and personal info, at least from what I understand of ISO 18013-5.

if anything it should be almost impossible to make a fake mobile id, barring exploits in reader software or the govt leaking their private key.

I assume that's just the actual vegetable, Google translate says that's correct

yeah. stopping support helps end it, but in russia's favor

but stability isn't something that would drive a gentoo user away either.

a lot of the draw of gentoo from what I saw was being able to configure everything down to how it gets compiled. it's simple to apply a patch to a package before it gets built or maintain a custom kernel config in nixos, as well as all the advantages of declarative os

that is a can of Folgers. I'd argue that incriminating a kitchen scale in the process makes it even worse

podman works on windows hosts, as long as you don't need windows containers

I've never used it but this one seems like the most complete currently, and it'll tell you which tests fail.

even with cpu passthrough some things are still emulated. you can run a vm detector and see for yourself what tests fail.

it may not affect your games but others should still be careful since it is a real issue, and people do get banned for it.

proton has support for quite a few kernel level anti cheat now, although it has to be explicitly allowed by the dev. needs to be run via steam I think, but you can add non steam games if you got them elsewhere

machine id isn't necessarily the important part. anticheat and vm detection check a lot of different heuristics incl hard to defend against things like timing attacks on particular cpu instructions. there's a handful of open source versions if you're curious

you have to be more specific lol

just tesselate the world with hexagons and say you're in a specific one? that doesn't give precise proximity but does expose your general area.

this does the opposite, doesn't expose your general area but let's you determine if it is close to some other location via an expensive comparison. the precision of proximity isn't tied to how precise a location/small a hexagon you're exposing

sorry no, the servarr site. look at this section for docker info. I think the links from there should have most of the background info

the docker builds it uses are unofficial technically, but the source is here, you can see that the only thing it does is download the official build

the first dockerfile linked on the official site is pretty simple. read it to make sure it's safe, then build it locally yourself.

as per the first paragraph of the intro of the linked paper, it's safer to store this than it is an actual location. if data gets leaked it's like leaking a hashed password instead of a plaintext one. their example is device trackers.
