@DanielBogdanoff Thanks guys, before tinkering with the hardware, I mean things such as ohms law, resistors in series/parallel, low level components, PCB design etc. I have found much and will look into what you guys have suggested an put into the learning path. Thanks guys

@DanielBogdanoff I'm pivoting from software and beginning to learn more about hardware and tinkering! Do you guys have any recommended resources? thanks!

Electrical Engineering Twitter Role Call! If you want a feed full of EE/electronics go though and connect with all the profiles that respond. Add yourself -> post what you do in < 5 words (stealing this idea from⬇️, I love it!)

@MadScientist_42 It seems like the only logical step now, and I see no news of it being done! I will share what i have specced out with you soon

@kekzploit It was to me. But I expected it, TBH. I think you may be onto something with your plans.

Time to reject CachyOS. Now it comes off of everything I have. Shame. It was pretty spiffy.

@ishowcybersec Which alpine based distro is the green logo? @grok ?

Which Linux Distro should every beginner start with?

Wow, RISC-V is really gaining traction again. Alibaba just announced the Xuantie C950…which is basically claiming Apple M1 (ish) levels of performance. I don’t see a lot of people talking about it! (2.6/Ghz SPECint2017, Apple M1 P-core also around ~2.6)

'Dark Linux' would eat all other distros

@ErisButRacist @LundukeJournal This is hardly a 'coming out against', furthermore, wasnt there some debacle of them censoring voices on reddit over @XLibreDev? If so, void isn't the one, L for me on this

@LundukeJournal Good to see more independent distros coming out against these dystopian slopes.

The Void Linux team has declared, in a comment on their official subreddit, that they "have no plans at this time" to add Age Verification to their Linux distribution. reddit.com/r/voidlinux/co…

@thedarkhog @Itsfoss Which is precisely the reason we need to start shifting focus: training.linuxfoundation.org/training/porti…

@kekzploit @Itsfoss Unfortunately RISC-V is not performant enough yet in most applications, especially since you'd need some kind of x86 emulation on top of it to make many software people need to use work, reducing performance even further.

Linux distros and the dilemma over age verification compliance

99% of Linux users on x be like...

@MadScientist_42 @Itsfoss I fear the those who carried that true cypherpunk-like ethos have aged out or are stagnating in crypto fighting over who has the bigger ring size. Those involved in Linux heading up distros think the epitome of privacy is adding Librewolf by default?.. sigh

@kekzploit @Itsfoss That's because the ramifications haven't sunk in- atop a lot of the distros are...Woke...to be honest. They embrace this shit, not realizing the ramifications or that it's illegal out of box anyhow.

@MadScientist_42 @Itsfoss I half expected it from the Privacy Coin Crypto Bro's, but I didn't expect to see such silence amongst the Linux community on x when matters of privacy are touched upon! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

@kekzploit @Itsfoss You know MY take on this. :D

Why doesn't the Linux community show the same outrage towards malicious Silicon such as Intel ME as it did to the systemd thing? A new Linux distro which focuses all its resources into RISC-V, prioritizing privacy and security is what we need. The only viable options right now seem to be Gentoo, Devuan and Chimera?

This isn't a 'no', this is a 'we will comply if laws require it in our jurisdiction'. L for Garuda. What is perplexing is the fact that any open source project wouldn't simply not comply? I'm not sure how these projects are set up legally etc, but it seems a rethink needs to be considered?

Arch-based Garuda Linux clarifies its position on age verification and addresses concerns regarding systemd userdb and data management. linuxiac.com/garuda-linux-s… #Linux #OpenSource #Privacy

@MadScientist_42 Spot on with clarifying the threat isn't just for privacy coins, its across the board with literally anything and everything! The article is at the cross section of my interests

The privacy coin crowd's not the only one that needs to care about this. They're just some of the first to be seeing the real problems. Everyone should care about this. RISC-V IS one of the ways out. Best, most likely to be implemented (It's easier than the Open Source POWER or SPARC answers...and simple is oftentimes better and runs faster with less silicon...).

Why RISC-V is the path to reclaim endpoint sovereignty. kekzploit.substack.com/p/risc-v-the-p… Proprietary silicon and compliance enforcement at the init layer make software privacy protections irrelevant. Open ISAs are the path to full auditability from instruction set to hardware.

@redpillb0t Why is joe correcting the president of the united states when he's trying to tell us there's life on mars that we don't know about or is of a different kind? Interesting

JOE ROGAN: “Do you think that we have aliens flying around or whatever? What do you think?” DONALD TRUMP: “There's no reason not to.” “I interviewed jet pilots that were solid people... And they said, “We saw things that were very strange, like a round ball. But it wasn't a comet or a meteor. It was something. And it was going four times faster than an F-22,’ which is a very fast plane.”

@Mayosapian @LundukeJournal Yeah, still a huge L

@kekzploit @LundukeJournal he states the reason at the end of the quote lol "Obviously we don't like those laws at all, but at the same time, we don't want to punish people who had nothing to do with such idiocy for their governments' stupid, dumb and evil decisions."

OpenMandriva Linux says they are currently considering multiple approaches to dealing with "stupid, dumb, and evil" Age Verification laws. Ranging from ignoring the laws entirely... to possibly having a separate "1984" edition only for "surveillance states" which require Age Verification. While OpenMandriva doesn't appear to be ready to announce their exact strategy, it does seem clear that their Linux distribution will not be implementing Age Verification for all users. I reached out to the project lead for OpenMandriva and this is what he said: "Obviously we don't like those laws at all, but at the same time, we don't want to punish people who had nothing to do with such idiocy for their governments' stupid, dumb and evil decisions."
