The guillotine?

Fuck you very much for conflating privacy with illegality.

Still, linux desktop is going up, with a fraction of the marketing power Windows and Apple have.

This isn't entirely true. Linux is getting a lot of help from Microsoft.

A bit cumbersome if you are traveling and using a different public wifi every time though

You're not wrong. But you're probably also familiar with the "secure vs. convenient" dichotomy: the closer to the "secure" end of the spectrum you get, the more cumbersome things will inevitably get. If you feel like you're jumping through too many hoops and you don't know what for, chances are you're overshooting the target in terms of your threat model and might get away with doing less.

1. Disable DNS once. Find out URL/IP of captive portal that way.
2. Add to hosts file (Win/Lin/Mac). Maybe even give an alias: "captive-school", "captive-library", etc.
3. Turn DNS back on. The hosts file will take prerogative over DNS settings, i.e. it is resolved first.

You are correct, it seems to have supported it for a while now, but it got more support now.

I'm afraid MusicBee is not for me since my household has been powered by Linux only for years now. I'll look into that beets plugin though, which has been recommended to me somewhere in the comments before. Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification!

Confusing write-up. Care to clarify

• why exactly your phone fails attestation?
• what exactly it is you did to make it work?

“When gold was at US$4500, silver should have been US$300, but has been suppressed for all these 50-odd years by banks who’ve been short the whole time – and maybe I should get mad at myself for playing in a game where it’s manipulated, right?”

Read: "I should have won bigly, but I didn't. But my ego tells me I can't be wrong, so the game must have been rigged."

Boy, does that remind me of someone...

Fuck this guy, the other guy, and fuck their corrupt moneymaking schemes.

"Using free Chinese models that you can run locally and offline is a security risk. People and businesses high on AI should be forced to use our expensive cloud-based models that funnel all their data through our servers and can be turned off or price-hiked by us at any moment!"

Personally I would absolutely not want to ever feed my documents into an off-device model, but the point of self-hosted software is that it does what you tell it to and they absolutely should include letting you make bad decisions. decide what's right for you.

FTFY (although I share your judgment). No disagreement about the rest.
