Because the browser was just an example, this tool handles a lot of different softwares. Sometimes it can even be software you deleted that left cache behind.
I trust this tool as it has been around for a very long time, is well known and open source. But I haven’t used it in years as drive space is now cheap so I’m not trying to reclaim every last bit of it. It can still be useful in some situations but no need to use it regularly.
Depends on what you need a VPN for.
I don’t know them but they seems to be from Estonia marketing themselves for evading censorship. Are you in a country that censor VPN? If not why do you think the tradeoff might be worth? The 2 hops should have an impact on bandwidth and latency and there is probably no port forwarding.
Using a VPN is just moving your trust from your ISP to the VPN. Why would you trust a VPN you know nothing about giving them access to all your internet traffic?
I hope you’re right but I can assure you our government is very good at making grand announces not followed by anything, or even by the opposite. Also our far right, which might very well win the next election, is very much pro-Trump.
Our education ministry keeps signing huge Microsoft contracts, our health data is stored by Microsoft, our intelligence agency use Palantir, our government is mostly on X… I’m forgetting a lot of other things. They are also pushing hard for regulations against privacy, weakening encryption, chat-control…
There are some small nice things here and there like our Gendarmerie using Ubuntu, the DINUM making a lot of open-source tools… But it’s really a drop in the water.
That’s the Interministerial Digital Directorate, they are very competent.
That article is trash. Ministries have only been asked to come up with a plan of what’s possible to do to switch but I highly doubt most will switch. The education ministry recently renewed it’s Microsoft contract and I don’t think there is anything enforcing a switch, it’s only a “please look at what could be possible” thing. The only thing switching for sure is the DINUM, about 250 people, a lot of them already using Linux. But this is the start of an experiment where they are building some NixOS configurations that could be used if a larger switch was to happen. Believe it or not, they NixOS configs are names Sécurix and Bureautix.
Nah, the article is trash. There is no law, ministries have been asked to come up with a plan of what’s possible to do to switch but I highly doubt most will switch. The education ministry recently renewed it’s Microsoft contract and I don’t think there is anything enforcing a switch, it’s only a “please look at what could be possible” thing.

You’ll need to read the documentation to understand its concepts first. You don’t use mkfs but zpool to create a pool then use zfs to create the fs on it. ZFS is usually used with some sort of raid configuration so most doc will show this but you can create a pool with no replication using a single drive.
For ZFS check the instruction for your distribution here: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting Started/index.html
Why do you keep ads on youtube?
I was confused for a moment as the only Blacksky I know is this one: https://blackskyweb.xyz/
There is https://trumpstruth.org/, it has a RSS feed. One could make a bot on the fediverse to repost from the feed.
It’s not, F-Droid version is 149. You really should avoid browsing the web with such an outdated browser.
Please do upgrade and avoid using an outdated browser.
NixOS so I can keep my config in git. I have a single nix config for all my machines (desktop, laptop and server) so I can share configuration between them. I use it to configure both my system and my user config, my dotfiles, with home-manager. Even my neovim config is in nix thanks to nixvim.
I don’t think I could go back now. It can be a bit of a pain from time to time and the learning curve is steep but it has so many advantages. Being able to rollback between config versions (called generations), having a consistent config between my machines, having it all in version control… The repo have so many packages and when there is a module it’s really easy to add a service. Writing new packages (derivations) and modules is also not that hard. It can be as simple as calling nix-init.
Had my main ssd fail on me a few month back and it was very simple to just replay the config and just get everything working as before. I only had to do the partitioning by hand (it can be done by nix but I’ve not gotten around to it yet). That’s why I only backup data and home partitions, not system partitions.
That’s not my claim.
Lol, “do your own research”.
This is not about me but about the advice you give to people. If you give advices you need to back them up, you can’t just answer “I disagree” to contradiction.
I’m not saying you said it was precise. I’m just saying that not every layer is important, or even good.
What if there are less people using that VPN IP than using that ISP IP, now your are giving more information with a VPN than without. How do you verify the claim that a VPN does not log? Spoiler, you can’t verify, it’s just trust. You have to chose who you trust enough to give them access to the website you visit.
It’s more famous for people that where around 15 years ago when disk space was more scarce.
