Also into juggling.
- Okay but then if a ZKP solution is presented, that's calling their bluff. They now have one less excuse for surveillance.
EDIT: Actually do one better - tell them that for 16+ websites, you're actually protecting teenagers by keeping them anonymous.
- I think part of the reason I'm "conflict averse" is that airing things out very often doesn't turn out like... well, like the movies. Sometimes the issue I have with someone is just "weird" and socially unacceptable to air out, or maybe the person doesn't turn out to be as reasonable or understanding as I hope they are. Or maybe after enough of these, it just becomes overwhelming to the other person.
- So obnoxious. More bullshit to make us self-conscious.
- Running OpenStreetMap off the grid (self-hosted to say the least) on a Raspberry Pi 500 (and to some extent a Pi Zero 2W) for Internet In a Box:

All of the street and satellite tiles are thanks to maps.black. The search uses Nominatim's sqlite3 mode. I was told that it's experimental only because it hasn't been tried in production yet, so I'm sort of testing it in the process. So far I'm only doing administrative boundaries and natural features, but so far so good! I'm going to slowly add a few more types of POIs, I just don't want the database file to get too big.
Note that Internet in a Box has an OSM offering already, but the data is five years old and the tech makes it harder to update. As of today, there are much easier options on the table, and we get cool stuff like 3d buildings. Also, the search was much more limited.

- One of my favorite tools available for Linux is called gitolite. It's in the Debian repo.

If you think the bare bones example is interesting and want something simple just for you or a small group of people, this is one step up. There's no web interface. The admin is a git repository that stores ssh public keys and a config file that defines repo names with an ACL. When you push, it updates the authorization and inits new repositories that you name.
I put everything in repos at home and a have multiple systems (because of VMs) so this cleaned things up for me considerably.
- I wonder if a few cases of compromise right after the outage can also be a coincidence. If we have a lot of reports of the same, then it gets interesting.
(The particulars of your case being strange is a separate question though.)
- Firstly I'd want to see them hash the whole blockchain (not just the last block) with the post-quantum algo to make sure history is intact.
But as far as moving balances - it's up to the owners. It would start with anybody holding a balance high enough to make it worth the amount of money it would take to crack a single key. That cracking price will go down, and the value of BTC may go up. People can move over time as they see fit.

- The problem is, some of us do have a habit of asking our search engine for the weather. And we ruin it for the rest of you.

If it makes you feel any better, this song about the fleeting nature of time is fifty years old and Roger Waters is still touring.
- For python I use Debian packages wherever possible. What I need is in there usually. I might even say almost always.
- Terrible compared to what? Mastodon is just fine for me. I'm an oblivious nerd here I guess. But I sometimes use Twitter too, can't say I find the UX refreshing by comparison.
- I keep hearing different things about how well containers can isolate. I guess the "on their own" caveat is the important one. I don't really know how they work.
Hearing not to rely on it from the developer of secureblue is pretty strong case. Thanks.
- As for setting things up multiple times - you can install stuff in the "Template VM" which is where the OS goes. Every "App VM" mostly just has files in their own ~/. Any changes an App VM makes to its system files won't affect other VMs, or even survive a restart. There are "playbooks" with Salt but I never figured that stuff out. If you pass around some setup scripts instead, that's an attack vector, but I don't think drive-by attacks like the OP would target something sophisticated like that yet.
- The "Admin" of QubesOS (dom0) is in its own VM, and it doesn't have Internet access. Nothing you download from a browser in another VM can touch dom0 without a VM break. Each VM has its own file system. Even if you wanted to copy a downloaded file to dom0, Qubes makes you jump through hoops to do it.
- Yeah I use Qubes for my "serious" computing these days. It comes with performance headaches, though my laptop isn't the best.
I wonder about something like https://secureblue.dev/ though. I'm not comfortable with Fedora and last I heard it wasn't out of Beta or whatever yet. But it uses containers rather than VMs. I'm not a targeted person so I may be happy to have "good enough" security for some performance back.
- Firefox 128.14.0esr (64-bit) on Debian via QubesOS (i.e. it's in a VM)
- I'm on a slow system, but it seems to freeze when I pick up items sometimes. Sound continues though. If I reload the page and play again it shows up in my inventory.
Next time I run into Richard Stallman I should ask him for tips on browsing the web
