Neither did I. Wow dead before arrival.

Where’s ladybird

Edit - I didn’t know about the Transphobia going on there. that is unjustifiable.

OK make a graph of swear words used by Linus and all others against Linus’s age. I’ve a theory.

There are countries where a government ID is needed from opening a bank account to buying even prepaid Sim cards to LPG, electricity connection and everything in between and this ID requires you to give your all 10 fingerprints, iris scan and photo from all 3 angles. And to top it all off this data is leaked multiple times.

OK First thing GOS team is currently assuming that Pixel 10+ won’t meet their requirements. But for older Pixels it’s tough. Google just stopped sharing vendor blob, device tree, and instead of openly developing AOSP now it is fully behind close doors only releasing source later with full update. But I have hope. I’ve been daily driving custom ROMs for 10+ years and before I could afford Pixel I had cheap phones which also didn’t share any of these things but custom ROMs were very much thriving and they will always. Yes there may be a little more delay for new devices. All the new features may take longer but GOS already has a lot of security and privacy stuff figured out.

I think we should all support however we can to not just GOS but also other Custom ROMs. Because there will always be those who’ll stop society from progressing and all we can do is fight back with donations, our time, and resources.

There are only 2 types of people. Who hate systemd and those who don’t know what systemd is. \s

Hey we need a little bit of spam on the internet to filter out bots who write elaborate garbage from GPT and humans who write simple msgs.

The profile just says 2 years ago. How do you know this is the cake day? I don’t even know when I joined so maybe it is who knows.

OK at least it didn’t create functions for everything. ChatGPT had a function to kinit, to rename and to upload to hdfs. And each function had 2-3 line comments. I mean for a single command how can you put 3 lines of comments.

Check if a CSV exists and if it does rename to the filename_date.CSV and upload to hdfs

Yeah AI is really stupid especially when it comes to bash. Once one of my colleague came to me asking a bash script not working that they got from ChatGPT. It was 20-30 lines with function and everything was a variable even the commands. I didn’t even bother reading, asked them what they were trying to do and wrote a simple one liner and it did exactly what they wanted in first try…

We were fucked a long time ago it’s just the effects showing now. But I hope the rebels at Graphene OS and other custom ROMs will find a way.

From technical point of view it is possible. eBPF already has almost everything needed for doing that. And I think it can be done with a simple LKM but if they want it included in the main tree I’m sure they’ll get some colorful email from Linus.

I wonder how many merge conflicts there will be.

OK there are 2 completely opposite thoughts on shredding SSDs

1. All SSDs have a trim functionality so any unused data gets set to 0 automatically by the os or in some cases by ssd controller

2. Even if trim sets it to zero there is always some deviation from the original zero and a very very sophisticated attacker can find the actual data. And simply using shred or /dev/zero doesn’t help because SSD controller always writes to different physical location even for same file. And the only real way to ensure data can’t be recovered is to smash it

Pick and choose depending on your threat model. If you’re just selling it to someone or you know that no nation state actors are after your data then just do normal delete and then do the trim. If you think someone with capabilities is after your data and that they are willing to spend few hundred thousand dollars or even few million for whatever data is in your SSD then just microwave it and then smash with hammer. No need to shred or zero.
