Yeah, I dont think so. I have not heard an argument here, just a statement. The “limits” arent real, never have been. This stuff needs to be outlawed as a whole so that “criminal” behavior can be again investigated in a way that is understandable and controllable. We dont need all powerful cops that have the best tools on their hands just to catch someone selling illegal stuff. It has also been proven time and again that the whole terrorism shtick has never been as much of a threat as it was made out to be.

The much more interesting thing this points at is the fact that conversations between people should be privileged and not usable in criminal investigations as long as not one party willfully submits it as evidence.

The mere idea of eavesdropping on people and/or using their data for other purposes than it was intended to is horrendous.

Meaning: if I call a friend or even send them a postcard and ask them for 100 kilos of cocaine, this should not be admissible in court. I dont care if organized crime is a problem. Go pose as a buyer and start rolling up the net from the bottom. Do the footwork.

Otherwise its not europol but more like eustasi. (Reference to the stasi, the former east-german „state security“ which was infamous for picking you up ar night if you as much as said you didnt love the government)

We will have to come to grips with the fact that europol (and for the germans reading this, the german state police) are still the fascism enablers they always have been.

I‘m fine with paying because I‘m starting a business. But I‘m not fine with tracking the payments so I will donate a set percentage of my profits (once I have them) to an open source group, no idea which one yet. The rest is not my problem.

Pretty solid advice.

One could argue though that a backup script could pull the particular container image right after doing the backup to have maximum coverage.

If someone is already that adept at scripting to rely on a script to do automatic backups, they can very well pull the new images and clean old ones.

I‘m one of those who have a backup script and still use watchtower.

Bitwarden is the way to go.

Oh wow! Thats gnarly. On that note, have you looked at rustdesk? Tried it this week and it runs great. Its also open source.

tangential: I‘m using a oneplus 6 with postmarketOS but depending on your friend‘s it skills, it might not be ready for him yet.

So far its very usable but I suggest someone must want to swim against the current and do things differently. One could say a „pioneer“ type would be ideal for this.

I am amazed at how evil a company can be. Well, if pirating any company‘s content was ever morally justified, its nintendo‘s.

The reasons are plenty, they are laid out here:

I‘m not a fan of reinventing the wheel so feel free to ask questions if you like.

Exactly my point. I tried installing it and it was great fun but under no circumstances is that “beginner ready”.

Hi there, whoever suggested linux for your switch played a mean joke on you. Granted, arch works well if you know what you‘re doing, apparently. But no way it is a good starting distro.

I‘m not sure how eldenring works on linux but most games run without problems.

One little caveat is this: you need to understand that windows is a billion dollar product while linux is mostly community driven. It costs nothing, except many people donating their time. So I‘d suggest adopting a „its insane that hobbyists are able to build something like this“ view. Otherwise you‘ll get frustrated and will end up im privacy invasive windows territory again.

If you want a more gaming ready distro, try pop os or bazzite. Good luck

Glad to hear it! :) have a good one!

Thanks. :) good luck!

I use „tasks“ for that. When i prepare to go grocery shopping I go to my fridge, open the completed „shopping“ tasks list and uncomplete what is empty. I then complete them again in the mall. Of course the list is hosted on my server.

You can also have a barcode scanner to automate the „done“ action. You could also put in a timer to automatically make things undone if they need regular buying.

In any case, using ai voice recognition for this is a massive waste of computing power for things that can be done by simple if else statements. Of course it is also a massive privacy invasion if you use big tech stuff for it.

Exactly! It’s like meta is actively trying to show how right us naysayers were.

Fedipact for the win! :)

The kde peeps are insanely nice so I guess you should try.

From recent experience: They read your screen which means the government reads your screen as well. Its okay. if you’re doing nothing illegal, you have nothing to hide! All history books that could tell you otherwise are paywalled anyway!

I switched from ubuntu to debian on 2 machines recently and the difference is drastic. No bloat (snap), no asking for pro membership, just works.
