Today is the 10th anniversary of Proton's 2014 crowdfunding campaign where the community came together to make our journey possible.

From the start, Proton has always put people ahead of profits, and today we're formalizing that by transitioning towards a non-profit structure.

We're here to serve you, and we look forward to continuing to commit Proton to the public good for the next 10 years and beyond. proton.me/blog/proton-non-profit-foundation

TIL (thankfully second hand) that running "systemd-tmpfiles --purge" will delete /home in systemd 256 [1]. Apparently if you think linux is mainly for running cloud services, this seems reasonable to you. Or something.

[1] tested with systemd-tmpfiles --dry-run --purge on debian. I guess it _could_ be a Debian addition, but I'm guessing not.

@m0xee there are legitimately good people there I would love to follow and see on my timeline but their admins are literally a loser irl and blocks everybody to cope with that fact

We live in the world where my washing machine stuck in an infinite loop...

Oh, no, very cool.

You might be surprised: there's a Milky-V that's pin-compatible with the RPi CM-4, so a lot of the places you could plug a CM-4 work. Like this guy got it to work in a Turing Pi 2 (FSE's currently living on a TPi2): https://feldspaten.org/2023/10/27/RISC-V-in-a-Turing-Pi-2/ . There are Pi laptop kits that are basically a CM-4 carrier board with battery/keyboard/screen/battery, right, and I imagine that you could get a MilkyV to run in a lot of them.

> it won't spread the community thin

Oh, I'm not really worried about that kind of thing.

i know people remember it with fondness - probably more than it deserves - but the Z80 was a horrible extension to an only slightly less horrible architecture. for the love of your preferred deities, let it die!

#Belarus opposition published a video from one of the Belarus border guard centres where they instruct a new group of migrants on the border storming tactics. The guard instructs the men in Russian, which is then translated into English. He tells them they will be equipped with knives and advises to hit all “unprotected parts” of the #Poland border guards, such as neck, armpits etc. Video in Russian and English, with English subtitles was published by Belarusian opposition news agency NEXTA.

> Even though he knew about OpenBSD's sudo alternative, “doas”, he mentions that it is still a SUID binary. The issue with those is that they feature a large attack surface that can easily be exploited

lennart using the phrase "large attack surface" is the largest pot calling the kettle black in linux history

A lot of people have followed me in the past month, so in 2 posts, here's a summary of what I think and why I'm here.

American society is increasingly dominated by the authoritarian left & authoritarian right. People communicate with insults instead of reasons. Many reject the value of open, vigorous debate.

I say that people should live together by reason and good will, not force & fear. I reject supernatural claims, group identity, and authority to command others as a basis for society. 1/2

Me: "I'm so busy today."

Also me during my lunch break:

Wow, Microsoft straight up pulled the Windows 11 beta that had Recall in it.

@misty they actually did it, they recalled Recall

Sucks that hot swap batteries and storage expansion are gone from the vast majority of smartphones now
