I’d much prefer the devs to spend time adding more linux drivers for the hardware and then we can just install linux without android
I don’t think there’s a solution for RAM dedupe, so your only solution for runtime efficiencies is (RAM) compression
That has a performance hit for every read, write and paging operation, so, lower performance than you’d expect…
But, I guess you don’t run all 91 apps at the same time, so you’re probably into decreasing returns for the few apps you do run in parallel…?
If your files are flac and you just want to.copy some files you could try Mp3fs
That’ll make your files appear to be MP3 when you access them
You could them use a file transfer mechanism to read them from the mp3fs location onto your phone with - kinda - one step.
So… if I ditch my MP3s (@ 320k) and use Ogg + Opus (@ …? bps?), then I’d have the same / “better” music in less storage space?
Does that work ok with Picard, etc as I’m a bit OCD with metadata
noatime
would help here
Anyone new to a subject gains their confidence (or not) if you’re confident (or not)
So, I’d suggest picking 1 distro to install,.and make sure you’re familiar with it.
Have multiple copies of the installer ready so you’re able to get things running in parallel and then you’re 75% ready.
Also be prepared for people turning up with all their cherished photos on their laptop not understanding what you’re about to do, so they’ll say they’re happy for you to install a new OS and then be upset that pictures of Fluffy aren’t there any more…
Just translate it in your browser 🤷🏻
My ISP actually supplies Fritzbox routers by default.
I turned mine into a passthrough modem for my pfsense firewall to use, but it’s a solid piece of kit.
No Pairdrop?
This works for me, for any adhoc files I want to get to any device any time, any place…
For any regular file transfers, syncthing.
Sounds like you’ll get pro advice anyway, but make sure you datestamp the video / images if you want to use this as evidence
I’ve used MotionEye for a while and it’s good on low-end equipment, but not sure it’s good enough for what you want / need.
As others have said, if you block the equipment from reaching the internet then you’re halfway there. If you literally do not physically connect the camera network to anything else then you’re ven better off.
Don’t use wifi cameras.
“Impersonation and psychological warfare will be a big thing in the coming years,” warns Rem Dudas from Palo Alto Networks, noting how AI enables malware to mimic other threat actors’ techniques

AquaSec identified Serbia-based IP addresses used in the attacks, Serbian phrases in the scripts, and Slovak language in the GitHub repository hosting the miners, but it could make no confident attribution.
The in-memory version of the tab template prevents having to restart FF to load the new one from disk now, but, at some point you’re still going to have to restart…
I tend to hibernate my laptop, so it doesn’t reboot often… so surely I’m going to get to the point where FF needs a restart…
Or, complain to the website not to use browser specific features (just like the old Internet Explorer days)
With respect, you wouldn’t install these by just doing an update, so pacman -Syu
is fine.
You would have needed to install these manually, or a package that depended on them - both from AUR - so you’d also need to use yay
(etc) to install them.
But - I totally agree with your points that tge names look innocent enough for someone to install those over other packages.
Always look at the AUR (website) at the package details - if it’s new(ish) and has 0 or 1 votes, then be suspicious.
I think most options have been covered here, but I’d like to consider some other bits…
User accounts & file permissions:- if you have >1 account, note that the UserID is internally numbered (starting from 1000, so Bob=1000, Sue=1001) and your file system is probably setup using the numerical UserID… so re-creating the users in a different order would give Sue access to Bob’s files and vice versa.
Similarly, backing up /etc /var etc… you should check if any applications (ie databases) need specific chmod and chown settings
Rsync, tar, etc can cover some of this, you just need to check you rebuild users in the correct order.
Maybe Ansible is another approach? So your disaster recovery would be:
When you get this working, it’s amazing to watch an entire system being rebuilt
The scalability problem with FOSS is monetary and motivation.
The successful products need longterm financial security in order to plan and support their peoduct(s) - so, do we start seeing more subscriptions as corp. sponsorship fades away?
And, just like XKCD 2347, FOSS needs to step up and support the components they rely on
That’s going to need some more maturity from the developers too: it’s a great feeling doing something new and interesting, but - like having a pet - you can’t just abandon something when you’re bored of it, or too busy, without rehoming your project(s)…
That’s where I see the industry needs to improve before they’re really ready for the big time.
Not sure what to make of this, they’ve got the potential to put a million qubits on a chip, but there’s only 8…
And others have had quantum computers for a while now… so… 🤷🏼♂️
