They seem to have stopped publishing the TrueNAS scale build scripts aswell.

I think scale is also BSD licensed (atleast the gui and middleware)

I can highly recommend watching this Video by practical engineering: Is the World Really Running Out of Sand? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB0qDQFTyE8 (Spoiler: It's not)

I avoid flatpaks and snaps as much as I can.

Here is a little blog post from 2021 that lists some of the huge issues flatpaks have https://ludocode.com/blog/flatpak-is-not-the-future

If you want to sandbox your programs highly recommend looking at firejail.

Probably not. Also they still haven't added ipv6 support

There is a wayland equivalent. It's called waypipe. In my experiences it often works better than x11 forwarding.

First of all I am very critical of the $100 per consumer device per month figure.

Also all major browsers block crypto miners on webpages now (for good reasons) so it may prove difficult to allow "good" mining scripts while still blocking "bad" ones.

I don't think this is a practical solution

> can install PWAs from Firefox on Android

The last time I checked firefox on android didn't support PWAs like Chrome does. It just creates a shortcut to your homescreen. Chrome on android use WebAPKs. You can verify this by looking at the package id in the app info of the created shortcut.

Thanks :)

Sounds very interesting. Have you published this extension (or the source code)? I think I would like to try it out.

There is also a signal build in the fdroid repo of the Guardian Project

I think you have a typo. The arch forums don't want reports from arch derivative distros

You are right, it may have been a unusual bug that hardly occurs, but it definitely happened to me. I also agree that having a unlocked bootloader is a security risk (how big of security risk depends on one's thread level I would say).

I can't remember disabling any core system components, executing low level adb commands or any other unusual things which may have let to update breaking.

I think the error message that I got was the "No valid operating system found" one. Maybe the issue would have resolved itself, if I had rebooted my phone a few times more, through the A/B slot mechanic. I honestly didn't know all this in that situation and only found some vague forum posts about it. I think it would have helped if there was a bit of official documentation about boot loops and what to do when one occurs on the graphene os website.

The experience was for me a bit off putting because I lost some personal data (shame on me for not having proper backups), but after reading these comments I might try Graphene os again.

It was some time ago, so I unfortunately can't remember all the details. It occured during a normal system update that ran without problems at first, but when I rebooted the phone to finish the update it couldn't boot anymore (I can't remember the error messages). I don't know what exactly went wrong or was corrupted during the update. I definetly rebooted the phone multiple times and tried to fix the issue, but after some time I realized it was futile.

Maybe there still was a way to salvage it, but I really can't tell in hindsight.

When installing graphene os I would consider very carefully if you want to relock the bootloader. In the past I have installed graphene os on my pixel 7a and a normal system update broke my system and made it unbootable. Because of the locked bootloader you can't reflash the os without wiping your data. It may be a very uncommon bug that may never happen to you, but honestly it shouldn't have happened to me either.

For anyone interested, it was this CCC talk by David Kriesel (sadly german only).

I have used FreeTube on wayland now for a long time without any issues. Electron still uses x11 as the default on wayland so you need to enable the wayland mode manually. You can easily do that by setting the ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto environment variable.

If you are interested in using this then I can also highly recommend webapp manager.

I think the issue with buffering on some videos is because of bad DASH support https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/7033
