How would it work? Isn't it easy for the authorities to check the list of users on the device?

I suspect this is either some ground work for planting a future backdoor or a noob who found out there's a ~/.cache directory.

Is this a joke I don't understand? Aren't Android apps sandboxed? How does these two commands supposed to make my phone fast for 50 years? rm -rf ~/.cache/* 2>/dev/null rm -rf /dat…

Yes, UPI works. But it's a terrible system for privacy and autonomy. It has so many intermediaries, requires phone number and linked to person's identity. It should not be called a…

I too use ASUS RT-AX53U. Decent hardware. But stock firmware was terribly slow. IPv6 didn't even work. I heard OpenWrt when I searched how to fix the stock firmware. Flashed it and…

Similar experience. I bought an ASUS router and enabled IPv6. It slowed down everything down. Immediately flashed OpenWrt on it, IPv6 works like charm. It's usually bad configurati…

That completely goes against what they're working towards. I understand why you would want to root your own phone, but GOS is targeting highest security standards and root ain't on…

Some things Mozilla could have done correctly: - Kept Rust and sold best-in-class tooling like IDEs to enterprises. - Polished Firefox OS and distributed apps in their store for a …

Firefox OS was a brilliant idea. Imagine cross platform and open apps based on HTML/JavaScript that feel native and polished. 2026 would have been amazing if Mozilla executed it ri…

Extensions were why Firefox was so popular among those considered 'abnormal.' Chrome just copied the idea. VPNs, Pocket, and sync services are all great features; it's their implem…

I tried building a cross platform shared library. I still couldn't get GHC to generate the library with Haskell's Runtime (RTS) statically linked. Tried multiple AI models and noth…

Thank you for being on our side Mullvad. I'm using Mullvad through Tailscale. It's been an awesome combination for my self-hosting and privacy needs.

GPL v3 specifically requires the vendor distributing the GPL v3 components to allow the user to change the software on the end user device. This means no more locked bootloader. We…

I wish Linus had adopted GPL v3. He had the power to stop this madness from big tech, but he sided with them. It just reveals that he never fully understood the reason for the exis…

This feels like a PR stunt by Anthropic. We understand, Mythos is a great model. But please stop unneeded publicity for the sake of IPO.

One man controls entire country. Yet we call that freedom and democracy.

> make sure partners understood this Since when they were partners to Micro$lop? First, it's thug like behavior taking the ability to run code on our own computers without their ap…

GrapheneOS is doing lot of things right in this regard. Robust permission system adopted from AOSP and hardening by default in every imaginable way. Things like hardened malloc, st…

What do you mean by persistent configs? OpenWrt always preserved the config between upgrades.

Samsung phones and TVs have tons of adware built in. I'm pretty sure they won't want GrapheneOS on their phones. Motorola, on the other hand, has always shipped stock OS with minor…

Vista changed the Windows security upside down. It brought all the modern kernel features Windows embraced upon. But they went overboard with graphics that average consumer hardwar…

Well if you think IPv6 adoption is a problem, wait until you hear ISPs offering IPv6 are providing a /64 prefix. IPv6 rollout is a mess.
