This is something I struggle with constantly. I feel like everybody around me does not care about their privacy. All of them say the typical “Why go through all the effort, sacrificing a lot of functionality and convenience for the sake of privacy? I have nothing to hide!”. It drives me crazy, and I feel kind of powerless without a convincing argument that makes them at least understand that installing stuff like Instagram on your phone is basically willingly installing a virus. They don’t even get surprised anymore when the ads they see are about stuff they were talking about with someone else in real life, and never mentioned or searched in their phones. I’m afraid that this will only get worse with time, and new generations that are being born under these circumstances are going to see it as normal. This means that making them understand the implications of not taking their privacy seriously is going to be harder and harder. I won’t give up, though. I’m still searching for my “irrefutable argument”.

I don’t get it either! It’s a good article and I 100% agree with the author. Maybe it’s because it’s talking about a service and the whole article can be considered as advertisement, but I don’t agree.

Stephen Hawes

He made really cool electronics projects and I used to be his patreon. Now he started a company that makes pick and place machines and all of his videos are exclusively about that. No more cool projects.

Alexandre Chappel

He is a very good maker and designer. He used to make videos about different interesting projects until he bought an apartment and started renovating it himself. Similarly to Stephen’s, all of his videos are about that now. No more interesting projects.

Also, if the ads where in different parts of the video every time, it would not be possible to use SponsorBlock for them :(

Same here! And I have the exact same questions as you. I can’t see why that’s racist or disrespectful, but I’d like to hear other points of view.

Gotcha. Thanks!

Dang!

For me it was the Dolomites, in Italy. I considered abandoning my current life and moving there several times during my trip.

Hello again! I am trying Flatcar, and I really like the concept. I had not used immutable distros before. I have a question: How can I apply changes to the configuration? I have a YAML file with the butane config and transpile it to a JSON file with the ignition configuration. How do I apply that new configuration? Do I have to delete the VM and start over again, or is there a way to update it inside the VM? I looked around in the official docs, but did not find anything :(

I use it too! I really like it :)

Looks good! I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

This is my plan B in case I can’t find a lightweight distro to replace RancherOS. Thanks!

This looks super interesting. Thanks! One question though; can I still use it if I don’t want to use Kubernetes? I just want to deploy a few containers here and there. I was thinking about moving everything to Kubernetes, but it seems a bit overkill for the 10 containers I have running.

I like this idea too, but in some countries if you don’t pay something, the company can add you to a nationwide “blacklist” that will give you a lot of headaches later. For instance, trying to get a loan from a bank, or insurance for something. There’s a good chance those will be denied if you are on that list.
