You don’t need an account. De-bloating scripts take care of most other annoyances. You can fairly easily beat windows into submission

This is about the cosmic desktop environment, not a CPU architecture

Does it necessarily need exploits? I might be wrong, but I believe games running in wine can access any file your user can. It should still be able to delete, edit or encrypt them. Wine just translates calls, it doesn’t create a locked down container or anything iirc

Does anyone know if firewalls like OPNSense can do IPS for ads and tracking instead of “normal” intrusions like malware?

Wine might translate the windows calls to Linux depending on what the malware does

AFAIK CTT’s tool literally uses Microsoft provided tooling.

Edit: it’s the same tooling used by companies to modify their own windows installs

Last I checked windows 11 can be installed without TPM support. I think rufus even has a simple checkbox for it and Chris Titus’s winutil can modify an ISO to do the sams

That’s really cool! Rewriting sudo in Rust actually feels like a no brainer tbh

How would that be different from other countries? Would there be too many cultural similarities?

Hetzner storage boxes look really compelling. Thanks for sharing!

Cloudflare tunnels definitely aren’t wrong, you’re just not entirely using open source software. It’s a very good option if you need to open things to the public or want to learn more about cloud services

You can selfhosted tailscale so that they don’t have any access. You can’t with cloudflare tunnels as far as I know. Tailscale’s client is open source, so is their Headscale server which originally was developed by a 3rd party. You can look into the code for that. Not sure what you’d want me to say. If you really want to be informed I’d inspect the code yourself

Tailscale shouldn’t be getting your data anyway. It’s a mesh VPN that directly connects devices after their auth server gives out certs and let’s clients know where to find another. If you’re not comfortable with using their server for this I’d suggest you look into the open source headscale server. I do remember it routing through their server in the rare case NAT punching doesn’t work

A pipe would be: cat /dev/random | tee /dev/null

Personally I use tailscale which should punch through double NAT. It’s a wire guard based mesh VPN, but an exit node should make it a normal VPN
