  • I could be wrong, but I remember reading some companies using AI to analyze your data traffic. Even when encrypted, they may be able to tell that it must be video streaming of some sort. Many providers ban video streaming altogether, legal or not.

  • For your use case, debian. Ubuntu is based on it, it's stable, it'll feel like home.

    I personally use Gentoo (since you asked what we all use), but based on your reqs, you wouldn't wanna use it. And I'm probably in the minority anyways.

  • I learned podman as a beginner. This isn't to say that what you're saying is wrong. It was much more difficult doing so. I am only commenting to say that its possible but needs patience.

  • Podman is slightly better, but most tutorials are for docker.

    So, podman if you're comfortable looking through docs, man-pages, scarce Internet resources, and trial and error for finding things out. Especially if you care about having better security with rootless mode.

    Podman also has a different way for managing many containers at once, and the interaction between them.

  • I prefer plaintext writing for a couple reasons:

    • Plaintext is readable everywhere and by anyone. It's effortless to make an app that views it in different ways or a tool handles it in any way you want (like searching, organization, etc). I don't have to stick to whatever Microsoft decided as rich format.
    • the baseline IS plain text. I should ask myself, what does this other rich format offer me? Some use cases are justified. But otherwise, you're adding obscurity for no reason.
  • Flatpak has better security features than docker. While its true it's not designed with server apps in mind, it is possible to use its underlying "bubblewrap" to create isolated environments. Maybe in the future, tooling will improve its features and bridge the gap.

  • This blog post explains it well:

    https://cosmicbyt.es/posts/demistifying-containers-part-1/

    Essentially, containers are means of creating environments in which you can run software, and those environments are:

    • isolated, which makes it a very controlled environment. Much harder to run into errors
    • reproducible: we have tools that reproduce the same container from an image file
    • easy to distribute: just have the container image.
    • little to no compromises on performance (at least on Linux)

    It is essentially a way for you to run a program without having to worry how to set up the environment, why it didn't work as expected, what dependencies you're missing, etc.

  • Diffing should reveal any differences, even white space. I suppose with white space it may be harder to fix, as you have to figure out the neutral state. But it is still possible.

    Regarding the time stamp, I actually did think of this and you're right. It would work especially for a small online bookstore. I believe the two books just have to be bought at very different times and ideally different other things, like people with different last name and even general location of billing address.

    Regarding your other points... You make good points, so I will consider.

  • What if the signature is embedded in the content and I missed it? Maybe it's just a hash in some footnote with white text color.

    Screenshotting the photo would work, but it would be difficult doing that for every page.
