I always try to avoid interacting with under-16 online to avoid any liability with laws!

Lawyers answering, questions about H.R. 8250, well at least the lawyers have decent knowledge about computers in general as well as Linux operating systems, unlike the law makers and politicians. Gotta love good lawyers and their curiosity. So H.R. 8250 is very likely to be unenforceable. https://answers.justia.com/question/2026/04/14/how-would-h-r-8250-affect-privacy-rights-1112842 #linux

OS-Level age verification has gotten worse, it got introduce into congress yesterday 13th April 2026). But I don’t think it going to work still, I'm still not going to check for age signals! https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/8250/all-info #linux #privacy

There always a few that are proud of their area, while in reality it is a dump, never do a disservice by being dishonest.

Encrypted tarball and cold storage is more secure than the cloud, also requires a warrant to search. 😉

My deployment strategy * Build squashfs image * Upload image * Update Symlink * Stop service * Un-mount & mount image * Start service * Done Quite easy, I don't need to use anything like Jenkins or Ansible, I just use justfiles. I've used it to deploy podman quadlet too, quite flexible 😀

Introduction - Just Programmer's Manual

Any current and future software I build will not acknowledge the “age signal”, I believe the os-level age verification is unenforceable. Source code is protected speech! To hell with California! 🤘 It good that the vast majority of Linux users oppose this! 👍 #linux #foss

The age of my apple account was enough to verify I was over 18, I didn’t have to hand over sensitive information. Lucky me ☺️

RustiCal, a lightweight CalDAV/CardDAV and is written in Rust, I tried it on my own machine, quite easy to setup, thanks to the fact it uses SQLite and I actually did that without using docker (which is I find pointless for this case). I will deploy it on my own home lab, I did check out things like OwnCloud and NextCloud, but I'm just not fan of bloatware.

Denuvo has been bypass with a hypervisor exploit, as that runs on Ring -1, it is not worth the risk, it can easily inject bootkit/rootkit into the firmware and OS, basically affecting security and stability. As much as I want to play Stellar Blade, I'm not taking that risk, I won't be able to anyway because I'm on Linux & MacOS. It only works on Windows. I'd just wait for a more safer solution. Why is Denuvo themselves messing with Ring -1 ? https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=156407

Might switch to Artix Linux next year, they won’t be doing any age verification 😁

Must fine a way to get OS Level Age Verification imploded, not going to be easy!

I was born in the UK and I find Ofcom delusional and embarrassing 😅 Ofcom really does not care children!

The age verification is now in effect in Brazil 🇧🇷 and the VPN usage went up, surprise, surprise. I wonder how the OS-level verification working out, probably not very well especially on community driven Linux. 😁
