I'm not a capitalist, I don't care about outages. I can live with Facebook being down for a few days, or my bank not accepting transfers for a day or so. Then again, I grew up with the internet in the 90s and prioritise good software and tools over availability, I guess?

Obviously at my job I have to do what my employer thinks. But if nobody cared I'd definitely do our Gitlab upgrades once a week once they're out and not in some weird "maintenance window" mandated by SLAs and stakeholders.

most trouble is probably caused in the first few days. Doesn't matter if it's 45 or 90 days, it would have to be a few hours to be meaningfully short. Given that automating things like this is annoying sometimes, you'll be sure people will max out the 45 days…

I'm pretty sure it's the SSL seller lobby just wanting more money, tbh. Selling snake oil security.

pretty sure this is the Apollo Lake platform and it's very annoying to get proper Linux to run there: https://issei.space/blog/linux-on-apollo-lake/

I would only recommend you do this when you have a good idea how GNU/Linux works and have a second device to use once you need to tinker with your Chromebook to fix the inevitable issues.

If this is your only system: don't do it.

Could you please elaborate or link to further information?

So you think techaro paid them?

There are also ham-adjacent projects like Meshtastic that I’m not as familiar with.

Why don't you buy a node and try it out?

Why don't you simply build your own network aswell? https://dn42.net/

Packet radio has such a low bandwidth usually. You should get more out of directional Wi-Fi, as in 60GHz point to point connections. One downside: if it rains you're out of luck. You'd better run cables ;)

Wish there was a similar extension or ublock blocklist which simply blocks AI slop domains.
