>tailsOS <ssh over monero paid VPN to I2P to monero paid vps with Qubes in Lesotho on a client laptop with no flash storage. Hitting a hotkey, closing the lid without suspending, removing the wrist strap, disconnecting from the current network or inserting a new device without a password after 15 seconds, holding the device at a far from flat angle for more than 10 seconds, surpassing an accelerometer threshold, and tripping chassis intrusion all write 0s to RAM. The vps has a canary that shreds all the drives after 48h of no connection
>SMP was made unconditional in Linux 6.17 Am I literally the only nigger on earth who despises this? It's not like i486 which was a dead architecture, it's just regressing perfectly valid use cases in a way that is now almost impossible to undo. What about single core microkernel VMs? Function as a service? Cases where a hypervisor does core scheduling? Microcontrollers and embedded things? This also includes a ton of i686 processors. Stuff like printers and CCTV systems could still use a modern kernel and are exactly the kinds of devices you need to avoid regressions for.
I think people who advocate for these gaymin laptops where you cant do anything on it unless its plugged into a wall and have less than 50% of the gpu power of its equivalent desktop counterpart are even more retarded than the macbook itoddler crowd.
