Fuse all the time would not be great for performance …then again…does anyone care with minix?

Honestly I wonder when gccrs will become viable as a compiler because that could bring support for some of the more niche CPUs

Hmmm, now is this actually doing any good for anyone…or is big tech using children and governments as an excuse to collect more of our data? Hard to tell /s

What am I missing? This seems to be for VFS for git which as far as I can tell is different from git LFS.

This has always been a huge problem I have with signal. It’s open source but it’s not open infrastructure

Too bad google stopped shipping pixel specific code in the AOSP tree. Maybe they wouldn’t be contemplating dropping the pixel 11 if that was still the case.

That would be nice but I do wonder how much the Graphene project is going to be involved in hardware decisions if it is a major OEM. Sounds like it’ll be more just a phone where the OEM provides support of bootloader unlocks and installation of graphene

Wow this is a tad controversial, can’t remember the last time I saw something with an even 50/50 vote ratio

Is the new official VPN project any different from Orbot? I don’t know much about it. I would assume not as anything more elaborate would require changes to the tor protocol. Either way you aren’t wrong. You can pretty much get by on the modern internet with TCP alone, it does mean no HTTP/3 but that’s not a big deal and outside of games very few other things in the wild use UDP. Never mind the other even less used L4 protos like SCTP.

Calling Tor a VPN is a bit scuffed. Yeah you can kinda use it as one but ultimately it’s really a TCP proxy and has a lot of limitations because of that which traditional VPNs don’t. There are some ways to make a VPN out of Tor but it doesn’t change the fact that it ultimately isn’t one.

Also I might add that in 2025 whether or not a VPN has IPv6 support should be relevant.

We have software marketed as a web browser, written in typescript running on a web browser…we’ve gone too far.

Adaway also has a no root mode that does this as well.

Webp has both a lossy and lossless mode so the first part of this meme is lost on me

I think the real problem here is politicians are some of the most technically illiterate people on the planet. They think they can legislate away problems that they can’t…while ignoring the root cause of the issue (I’m mostly referring to the age gating of services, banning porn and VPNs isn’t even trying to solve a problem, it’s moronic)

What would likely happen is VPN providers would be IP banned but people could still setup their own custom VPN solutions as that’s hard to ban without banning corporate VPNs? Of course my fear is as this idea spreads VPNs and even Tor will become increasingly useless as all exits will be age gated and censored as well. This is something where technical work arounds will only work in the short term, laws like this are a slippery slope that we seem to be sliding down.

I’d love to think you’re right but there are bills in blue states for age verification too. It’s nice to think that partisan politics will kill it in Michigan…and maybe it will but this is so much more than a one party problem IMO. Both parties seem complicit.

My fear is that even Tor won’t help, if every exit node is censored then where do you go? Also it’s not like you can’t fairly easily detect exits. Sure hidden services are exempt but the amount of services there are tiny compared to the internet. I really feel like we as the citizens have to convince the governments to not do this. Otherwise things will only get worse.

Huh, good to know…either way the UK seems to have restarted it…at least I hadn’t heard much about any of this until they did it and now half the states and a bunch of EU countries are doing it
