How stupid can anyone be to install free VPNs
Most teenagers just want to access that porn or piracy site, and mostly don’t know anything about privacy and spyware.
You can try to restrict people to access sites or services, but they always try to find other ways even if that put then in a bigger risk

Red Hat Linux 7.3 (2002)
Tried it to install a few months ago on 86Box and couldn’t figure it out to setup network card.
Today everything is mostly plug & play, back then was a pain to setup graphical server, network
As long a comic reader, this movie portraits everything that Superman is.
Instead of god on earth like the Man of Steel, this Superman care about everyone even the squirrel.
And the other characters they nailed each one, Guy Gardner personality is exactly like the comics, best Lex Luthor i have seen in movies (and it’s bald), and of course the best character Krypto, stole every scene when it shows.
Looking forward for Supergirl, supposedly based on “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” which a great comic
And yet EU wants to expose everyone with backdoors with ChatControl

That’s why i use Markor on, it saves on markdown (.md), text (.txt) files, and sync with Syncthing to other devices.
Without databases, or third party hosts, i can open any file on other devices using the apps of my choice, can use Markor on Android and nvim on PC.
No need to pay extra or use specific apps to work.
I also tried other not taking apps, but I needed to use some electron app that uses 1GB RAM to edit a markdown file, and decrypt some proprietary online storage. Why use some overcomplicated software when i can do the same Kwrite or nano
You can have GRUB menu on boot with UEFI.
Only shows black screen if you disable the boot menu, some distros hide the menu by default, even with BIOS.

But that one clearly shows BIOS
Adding to this DDL store the content for a limited time. Some of the content after one week is almost impossible to find
For me there’s no “get caught”, and many stuff are only available trough torrent, like some old/obscure movies (some could take a week to download), other only trough DDL like some UK TV shows.
Also for automate software like Radarr/Sonarr you only have torrents or nbz
There’s a reason why Russia evaded Ukraine, because decisions like this.
Transnistria in Moldova is a Russian outpost since the 90’s,
Chechnya didn’t have any backlash when tried to breakup from russia instead cities got flattened.
Russia tried to invade Georgia, after failing Russia only got a slat on the wrist.
When russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 no one done any pressure instead more oil and gas traded giving more money to Russia.
Since the 90s Europe has been seen weak without the help of USA, and Russia can do whatever they want.
If Ukraine fall in Russia hands then Moldova is next, and others will folow

Unlocked bootloader not only allow to install more private ROMs like Graphene and CalixOS but also prolong the life of smartphones with regular security updates and new versions of Android.
Looks like giving the user data to Chinese (and others) are the new standard on EU.
Some day also the laptops are blocked with SecureBoot and the customer aren’t allow to change the OS
2026 the year of desktop Linux
Yes, im very interested watching digital characters having sex
They do this for years, i’ve several games for free from GOG, what’s different?
Some of the games didn’t even installed, “it’s free cool, let me grabbed”
My ISP doesn’t provide IPv6, and with other ISP using CGNAT instead don’t think that IPv6 will be the main standard any time soon.
It’s more of “if it works, don’t fix it”, just apply workarounds like tunnels
Just the case of the packages being removed only a few hours after been published just makes my point of “trusted users” reviewing and reporting then.
And is not only an archlinux/AUR problem, the same happens with python pip, npm, dockerhub, github… With bigger popularity, bigger the target.
These days after the success of Steamdeck many users switched to Linux, and many of those started using arch or based distros like EndeavourOS because some one on reddit, YouTube or other said is the best for new hardware and you can find everything you need on AUR.
New users won’t review scripts or PKGBUILD, that’s gibberish, just search and install, and a few hours could be too late for some.
I don’t care if Linux loses or gains popularity, but if there’s no guard rails of some kind of control things could get worse, and even end AUR as it is now.
Having people control what’s published or not, probably not the best solution, but leaving it as a wild west also not
Arch also warns uses about AUR, use at at your own risk, and can break your system.
My approach isn’t definitely not the best solution, I was saying this is only the beginning, and with other arch based distros also using AUR only gets worse, if there’s any moderation and some kind of package control before publishing then when thins get real bad maybe too late and arch starts loosing users.
Now is just some packages, later could be some popular package take overs or some kinda spoofing of other packages.
I use arch BTW (since 2011), and Debian Armbian on Raspberry Pi, one is rock solid the other sometimes break with updates
At the moment im not hosting a music server, but used to use Navidrome, it worked fine and used a small footprint.
Having all in one it’s more issues to solve, if something breaks, everything breaks.
Having all on Jellyfin is more convenient.
But adding hundreds or thousands of songs along with movies and episodes will create a huge database, more resources used, slower searches
