I don't have spare peripherals like a monitor and a keyboard. How do you suggest I do a bare-metal install of Debian on a computer (meant to be a server)?

Hi everyone,

As always, every time I look at the AWS Glacier egress fee calculator I get fairly irked at how much they charge. Was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives for cold storage in the cloud without such egregious charges. I will likely not access it ever because I have another offset backup, but just in case I do, I wouldn't want to fork over thousands, really.

I don't know how reliable Scaleway's service is, and Cloudflare's R2 doesn't have a Archive offering. I would be interested in the Azure if anyone can convince me that I won't go bankrupt trying to retrieve my data from them. I don't want to go with Google with the recent stuff they have been doing with data on their servers.

Thanks!

Hi, I was planning to encrypt my files with GPG for safety before uploading them to the cloud. However, from what I understand GPG doesn't pad files/do much to prevent file fingerprinting. I was looking around for a way to reliably pad files and encrypt metadata for them but couldn't find anything. Haven't found any recommendations on the privacyguides website either. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Has anyone tried this?

If someone here doesn't want to use GNU at all, Plan9 is probably the next best thing. Is there anyone here that actually uses it day to day?

As the title says, I want to know the most paranoid security measures you've implemented in your homelab. I can think of SDN solutions with firewalls covering every interface, ACLs, locked-down/hardened OSes etc but not much beyond that. I'm wondering how deep this paranoia can go (and maybe even go down my own route too!).

Thanks!

I was going through Pine64's page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?

I'm considering purchasing the Pine but I'd like a better screen, more RAM and a better CPU. Don't know if I should wait for a new model to be released (are they even planning to do that? Is the company active?). I will only really use it to browse the Web, and might even look to desolder a couple of parts that I know I won't use.

Thanks.

Edit: I am willing to watch content and use banking apps from the browser. Do you think it'll be fit for me?

Edit 2: overall, I am much saddened about the state of affairs regarding private computing on the go. I desperately hope that Linux on mobile takes off, even though its incubation looks disheartening at the moment. Thank you everyone for your comments.

Hi, is there an option to hide a post in Liftoff? I'd like to hide a couple of posts I have in my feed.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've been looking at the Fairphone 4, which has brought me to e/OS since I'm in the US.

I was wondering if it was possible to uninstall microG from the main system and just have it installed in the work profile alongside signature spoofing (since I need a couple of apps for banking/chatting).

Would doing this make e/OS unstable? Would I get updates still? I haven't found any official guides to do this yet (quite grateful that e/OS comes with signature spoofing enabled since the combination of Magisk, Zygisk and LSPosed is too much for my brain sometimes).

Thanks!

ChatGPT led me to tunsafe however the project seems to be abandoned?

I'm trying to find ways to convert wireguard traffic into plain HTTPS so as to not trigger some advanced DPI. So far, I have come across udp2raw and updtunnel which convert the traffic to TCP, but AFAIK the SSL used in Wireguard triggers DPIs.

Does anyone have a workaround? Thanks!

Everyone, there seems to be a way go achieve this:

Wireguard (change port to 443) + udp2raw or udptunnel to convert packets to TCP + stunnel (configured on both client and server - used by OpenVPN to encapsulate traffic in TLS).

This is basically what OpenVPN does, and theoretically this should do OK. I haven't tested it however, so if you have, please let us know!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to add specific subscriptions to a certain group, but how do I create said groups? Also, I don't see an option to create a group from the page of a channel I want to subscribe to.

I have attached a screenshot with this post, could someone help? Thanks!

Mozilla released their studies, and I'm seeing a growing number of posts on the Internet about cars and the privacy nightmare they entail. I remember how this issue wasn't talked about earlier because "just buy an older car" was still prevalent. I'm so happy that people are taking notice. Thank you to this community and Mozilla for the work they are putting in!
