I'm sorry if you live in a place where you can't vacuum (1.8kW) and at the same time cook on your stove (5kW) and use the oven (2.8kW) plus have regular stuff on at the same time, most of which will be of after 21hrs, so charging at 11kW or at least 3.7kW should be possible from the same home connection without any upgrade to the distribution network, between 21h and 7h. Considering also the need to charge up about 10 to 15kWh since the average commute is about 60km if that,...

So to avoid you sponsoring your neighbours, the best thing you can do is get an EV before them. Have them sponsor you.

This message was brought to you only partially tongue in cheek

True, but that reduces the problem to the delivery and not the generation, in times where the former is easier than the latter. Parent comment seemed to claim that the energy budget would not allow a full transition to EV.

Just a side note, the refining of oil to gas takes about as much electricity per distance driven as EV. So no, if the whole world moves to EV we're not going to have a terrible energy problem.

From a certain angle, exactly. Reminds me of a Dutch friend about how many bike locks are required: one more than the bikes left and right of yours...

Good point, but would that be equally so if sandboxing were totally the norm? Then every such program would take it into account, right...? I mean, sandboxing just prevents looking sideways, if you're in the lower layers (BIOS, OS) you can look up all the way, or am I missing something?

Agreed on the BIOS infection part. The programs could have been compiled with an infected compiler too. But I don't get why you want sandboxing on your life disc, you mean, inside, to reduce attack surface in case only non essential programs are infected, or running running your life disc in a sandbox, or just out of principle?

Because with all sandboxing, if your operating system isn't clean it's not going to save you from that attack angle. But I'm convinced you know that.

I actually don't disagree in spirit, it just seems to me that we have different definitions of truly paranoid.

A colleague of mine with a Windows Linux dual boot machine, games on one side and mail and web on the other, uses a live Linux disc to do e-banking. He's just an informed guy, I wouldn't consider him paranoid at all.

If you're paranoid or actually in the know that "they" are after you, you have to use different machines for different purposes. I mean, one can trust sandboxes only so far, and if you're truly paranoid, why would you.

That said, you'd probably stick with pen, paper and pigeons...

But how will parenting get confirmed identities to the big corporations for better advertisement targeting?

Why do you compare GrapheneOS to a standard Linux desktop, instead of to Google Android?

Obviously, if you take a platform that is geared towards running applications from untrusted sources and compare that to a standard Linux desktop distribution that isn't configure for that, you'll find common desktop Linux lacking.

On the other hand, does GrapheneOS or Android have a desktop that's halfway usable?

Historically, Linux got the reputation for being more secure because Microsoft made a number of brain-dead decisions, some in clear support of a better user experience (arguably, but the omission of 3 letter file type indicators was to not complicate things too much), some just brain-dead (open ports and running services), Linux fanbois boasting and then some real advantages of Linux through the Unix heritage: being a multi user OS with the networking built in and not tacked on afterwards.

All these points are still true for Linux, though the competition has caught up. For the true paranoid, if you need to sandbox, you're doing it wrong.

Good decision. On a related note, the IRS should tax the record companies for the supposed value of each song times the amount of songs they have.

Previously, efforts of government departments and such moving to Linux and FLOSS got extensive attention, but often didn't pan out or had few followers. Ernie Ball and Munich come to mind.

Since Microsoft blocked the email of the head of the International Court of Justice, the wind is blowing differently. See https://www.opendesk.eu/ for instance.

What I 'd like is to be able to have VPN selectable per Tab, just like containers. Possibly even connected.

So that I can show up as a different user in a different location., and get offered different pricing.

Bonus if it can be done on mobile too (Fennec from F-Droid).

I came here to look for this and add it if I didn't find it.

Lunar "soil" is essentially neutral, just needs some additives. Conversely, Martian "soil" is actually poisonous. Additives alone aren't sufficient to get things to grow in it, you need to remove the poisonous parts first.

Net: It's easier to grow plants in lunar rather than Martian "soil".

There are people here and everywhere who claim great benefits and those who claim LLMs absorb them into review mode. So major gains versus a wash.

I think both can be true. LLMs are trained on the internet data mostly, especially for technology. Which means they can mimick that level. They mimick some kind of average.

So if you're doing something that you don't know anything about, but the net has loads of examples for, your acceleration by using an LLM will be grand.

And if you're a specialist that spots errors in stack exchange posts that are deemed helpful, your mileage will vary.

The big catch is, you need some skill level to evaluate the LLMs answers. The answers are helpful at the "for dummies" level, but dummies don't have the level to evaluate...

Because anything else takes more time and effort. Bookmarks are just something more to manage. Leaving tabs open essentially takes zero effort. Note that I use Firefox, and if I open a new (empty!) tab, then type something that corresponds to a tab, it will ask if I want to jump to that tab. Obviously, whenever I am done with a page I'll close it, even a bunch of they are related and I'm done with the subject.

Then, whenever I notice Firefox using too much CPU (temperature going up, load up, etcetera), and I don't know which tab is causing it, I'll just close and restart the program, it will have all the tabs, but load only the ones I visit.

Likewise, I just ctrl-z if I am going to do something else, then fg to continue using it. (Yes I start Firefox from a Konsole.)

So to counter your point, I have no clue why I should put in more effort than I do, and my way is the least effort as far as I have found. Why collect bookmarks?
