I need this in green text format

Was going to be skeptical about an obscure distro, but I see they are currently #2 on Distrowatch. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before.

Appreciate the recommendation, I’ll def look into it!

When my win 10 gaming box EOLs this fall, I’m probably going to jump it straight to arch, since it looks like the most straightforward way to build a Steam OS like system.

Yeah and at least they’re creator had a cool story.

Me too. That’s comparable to my dad’s old 4 cylinder Toyota Pickup (mid-80’s, so similar era). Smaller engine and wayyyy less power so I would’ve expected the pickup to get worse than the Delorean.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’d love to take that as a project vehicle.

Batteries for home setup (on TOU plan, so it’d be nice to charge when rates are low and discharge when high).
Then slap an combustion engine in there that just acts as a power plant for the electric motors. It’d probably be biting off more than I can chew, but it sounds like a hell of a learning opportunity and tickles my engineering/tinker brain’s fancy.

Of course, after blowing something up, I’d probably focus on dissecting the drive train and using them motors for something else. I’m suddenly curious what the suspension set up is like. If they’ve got some crazy high tech mag-ride system, I’ll bet that could be repurposed for another vehicle (pending Tesla proprietary protocols for connecting to ECU).

But now I’m rambling. The thoughts of what I could do with those parts though.

Ninjaedit: just took a look as some of the pondering above. I forgot how silly the interiors look, so def wouldn’t bother with attempting it as a project car.

Interesting.

It looks I was close on my understanding, but not quite there. Lol, guess I’ll need to bust this back open.

So, if I recall correctly, I had to set up a device as an i2p server (seems like they were super light weight and you could configure your phone to do it) and then you could use your browser of choice with the “i2p server” as a proxy.

Its my understanding that each of the “i2p servers” acted as both an entry point and an exit point. That is to say, while my traffic entered the network there, there were other people’s traffic that could be routed through and/or exit via my server.

Am I wrong on that assessment?

Yeah, I don’t think it was confirmed to be suicide, but it sure looks a lot like suicide.

I guess what I mean to say is that I wonder what he’d be up to if he hadn’t done that.

Completely agree.

Kinda get the vibe that guy I’m replying to is asking for the times when its actually needed. If I’ve got the wrong mark there and they’re looking for daily driving, then Mullvad VPN (or comparable) is probably the better way to go.

Yeah, I remember reading about it a few years ago. Guy seems really talented, if kinda crazy and pretty racist. Curious to see where he’d be today if he hadn’t lost his marbles.

Side note, isn’t TempleOS not Linux based?

Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?

Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev’s name was Terry Davis.

And most likely Beibian too!

Probably TOR.

I hear I2P had a lot of potential, but also a lot of issues. Haven’t checked up on that project in a bit. I know it was a BITCH to set up when I tried plinking with it some years ago.

So TOR (despite the latency/speed issues and its own security concerns) is still probably about as good as it gets.

The near symmetry, ah, I see weve found the true Vorin solution.

Yeah fam, “fam” is hella lit.

Naw fam, gotta get that GPS in braille form
/s

I really like your way of explaining that.

It still feels dirty, but when is war and geopolitics ever actually clean? I feel a lot more heartened that this was the right choice after reading your response.

I understand the sanctions part and wanting to head off any potential state interference with projects like this, but “infosec reasons” feels very hand wavy.

I think I’d be a lot more comfortable if we had seen malicious/bad faith actions/communications or maybe some more specific and tangible reasons to suspect them being compromised on the part of the Russian maintainers before they were just removed.

I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?
