I think this is a good point. Another person made a similar comment. And I it totally makes sense. Like I could serve my resume on my personal website and then just link it to a short description on a Lemmy instance or channel that was relevant.

That makes it at least a little harder for data scrubbing bots to get my info when I’m not looking for a job. I can just take my resume off line. With kinked in you basically come to the employee store, find a shelve and you permanently glue your resume there hoping that someone would call you. So all your info is right there for any phishing to take place later.

Some NDP? Yeah Noise Dampening Paper is the way to go.

Hold on, I just need to clear a mental blockage: https://youtube.com/shorts/QSbUK1XzgCc?si=Ld8HkfJj4KDwloDr

Hold on! I’m currently booting the kernel mentally. I’ve been at this for 2 weeks now…

I love that his desk is messy like mine and that he gets pissed at bad code.

You the man! Man!

I’m gonna blow everyone’s mind… I have my Linux system in a relatively small 4gb drive, and my home in a 4Tb drive. I mount my 4tb drive to /home/me as someone already said.

If my SSD for my OS takes a shit as people say, all you do is install it again, change fstab to swap the home directory and you’re back in business like nothing happened. That’s like 10 minutes install time on a good SSD these days. The other guy who mentioned this, didn’t point this out. The idea of separating my home folder into its own drive didn’t occur to me for years and years of using Linux. Every wrong update I was there copying home like a total windows 11 noob. I also install my extra drives and shares on /mnt, that’s standard.

Yeah, but just the fact that you are unlocking something means to me that at the very bottom of your software stack there’s a little switch that if you can’t unlock it, your entire computer is locked out to you. The owner should have full access to the entire computing device. I’m fine if the tablet boots to a fail safe interface. That’s good Linux practice. But don’t permanently eliminate root.

I mean, everything comes from China. But you mean the processor could be doing nepharious things under the hood to steal data from us and give it to China?

Sure, but I thought apt was just that. Anyone can make a repository or app store and give you access to apps thru apt-get install app. You could also run ducker to run virtual apps.

I would want to run gimp, krita, scribus inkscape, blender (maybe), Joplin, python/notebook, Spyder, libre office, etc. I think that would be a great list of apps that already one can easily install via app. I don’t want a store like apple or google and for sure I don’t want black box stuff that will run in the background consuming battery and stealing my data. I’ll go check the review to see if the “it’s not there yet” refers to functionality where these apps will keep crashing vs functionality meaning my mom can pick it up and use it like toddlers do. Big difference for me.

That’s what I thought. It has no android lock to Google, I assume root access, so it’s basically really yours?

These are good at holding all sorts of things like doors.

The rpi is severely underpowered for such a thing. 8 suggest going with a cheap anything else computer.

Only because it doesn’t ask me to recompile the source every time a kernel update comes in.

I think nobody wants that. I can think of a better way to fuck up your hardware and it pulls nails too.

Microsoft…you keep it. We good.
