Never trust the OS that ships with a device. Wipe it, format the disk, and pray that they don't have a backdoor at the bios level.

They're not identical, but they have similarities. What Russia is trying to do to Ukraine is not dissimilar to what Israel did to Palestine half a century ago.

Double-clutching is for rookies. Real drivers match the revs and powershift.

My initial thought was that everything would be stored in triplicate, then read in triplicate and 'voted' to the correct value, but I guess even that only extends the time before random bit-flips make the data unreadable. You're probably right on the need for active error checking if there is an intention to store anything long-term in this manner.

Jerboa is FOSS and available on f-droid, that's what I'm using at the moment.

Also the dev behind Redreader is talking about pivoting to support Lemmy instead once reddit goes down, so keep your eyes on that.
