An interesting idea, though I’m doubtful it will gain traction. I think Flatpaks and Snaps are trash, but I do use a couple app.image packages, Supercell Wx (weather radar application) and Trezor Suite. With Trezor Suite you want to get…
This is a really good overview on the status of new cars today, and just how poorly made they are while requiring never before seen sums of money to own. An old classic car with points, distributor and carburetor is…
This is good news if you’re running a newer Nvidia GPU, as they’re transitioning to the open kernel drivers. Unfortunately for me, my old desktop is using a GTX 1070, so I had to switch to the legacy driver through…

Is this another indication that the OCGFC are planning a wider war in Europe? This post had a video of the missiles launched on Ukraine with no warheads, appearing to be a message for Europe giving certain weapons to Ukraine.…
Some Bitcoiners are reporting that Segwit wallets are more quantum computer safe than Taproot wallets (you can setup both with your same private key), but if you delve into the details below, Taproot just exposes your public key up front…
This is good news, as I don’t care for or desire to use AI for anything. It’s just not factual or reliable, and has no real intelligence. Throw in the apparent hijacking of conversations leading to psychosis, institutionalization, and suicides;…
They’re moving from Go to Rust for Wireguard, and there will be a security audit in the beginning of 2026. And Mullvad VPN is one of the few VPN services that I trust for their commitment to privacy and not…
It’s not settled yet, but if the source code comes out, we could be moving towards a hobbyist firmware being available for Vizio TVs. Consequently, in ham radio we have custom hobbyist firmware for several Chinese radios. Usually certain chip…
