You need an sd card adapter that lets you read and write the sd card from your pc to put an image the pi can boot onto the sd card.

You will need this anyway when you eventually run into the sd card having a bunch of of bad blocks or unreadable sectors.

It will work ”fine” for what you’re describing but consider getting one of those sata/m2 adapter boards so your root filesystem isn’t based on the media explicitly designed for temporarily holding information until the user can get back to a computer.

If you already have a computer, just set up a vm.

Do you mean the us government or just into us jurisdiction?

I’m pretty sure that even with a service based in another European nation whose servers are in that nation you couldn’t rely on either…

Since you dont know what’s happening you dont need to be fucking around with busybox. Boot back into your usb install environment (was it the live system or netinst?) and see how fstab looks. Pasting it would be silly but I bet you can take a picture with your phone and post it itt.

What you’re looking for is drives mounted by dynamic device identifiers as opposed to uuids.

Like the other user said, you never know how quick a drive will report itself to the uefi and drives with big cache like ssds can have hundreds of operations in their queue before “say hi to the nice motherboard”.

If it turns out that your fstab is all fucked up, use ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid to show you what th uuids are and fix your fstab on the system then reboot.

Reads like a communist hiding their power level or a liberal searching for a take on the enclosures actively happening this very moment that isn’t the fascist/libertarian one (“it’s different because it’s happening to me!”).

That won’t work.

The best you can do is clear your cache and history every time you close the browser and use some kind of containerized system like the Firefox plugin.

What you’re asking about is fundamentally not how the web is designed.

E: and of course close the browser when you’re done looking at the website.

After you eventually settle on bitwarden, rotate all passwords and uninstall or clear out the contents of other password managers. From your replies in this thread it seems like you’ve used many different managers.

I wasn’t able to reproduce what you described about apple ai and signal.

The foss-ness of an operating system or application doesn’t matter for the purposes of encrypted messaging, what matters is if the user has the application and operating system configured appropriately and understands how to not give up secrets.

Use bitwarden, go to Settings -> account security -> unlock with pin and turn it on. If it’s already on, toggle it off then on. You will be prompted to set your pin. Dont forget your master password.

Perhaps it’s the misty air of memory, but I truly hope this new driver is as good as the 20 year old one we used to use…

It’s cool that you got downvoted for answering this question. You can take em out of reddit but you can’t take reddit out of them.

The thing that stops google (or proton for that matter) is that you don’t give them the keys.

Email isn’t and can’t be made private without something like pgp.

A company that handles pgp for you can be legally compelled to give up the keys.

Windows sandbox like everyone else is saying is a great answer, but bear in mind if you’re sufficiently paranoid or security conscious that many, many exploits exist to escape VMs and sandboxes. Esxi and cell phones pretty much made that happen.

Keeping a cheap old computer to run weird bullshit on isn’t a terrible choice if you’re truly worried about it.

Are you sure the animations it’s giving you are ai? Android recently got the thing where the phone actually takes a short movie and picks a frame, processes it and hands it to you as the “picture”.

Thanks for the informative and detailed answer! I’ve only ever installed and used arch for fun so the finer points of how pacman handles manually installed packages never came up.

You said mostly safe, what kinds of issues can doing what you just described cause? You said pinning it through pacman would be an unsupported partial upgrade, even though that would give the package manager visibility on what you’re trying to do it would result in types of dependency resolution that aren’t supported or tested for I imagine?

Yeah I didn’t want to make the bold and refreshing assertion that arch isnt appropriate for situations where gracefully handling an old package is a requirement but that was my initial read on the situation.

I’m not as familiar with the aur as I am with apt and now dnf, is there a function to keep it from automatically installing something newer? That’s why I meant when I referred to pinning.

If arch doesn’t have version pinning then switch to a distribution that does.

Debian has version pinning, nvidia runs a third party repository and it has a pinning package you can install to get and stay with the 580 branch.

Pardon, your replies in this comm. It’s not precise language on my part but I think the meaning should be clear.

Without knowing what games you want to run or what your budget is it would be hard to give more helpful input than “anything will work, give serious consideration to not virtualizing”.

If you care about your country’s laws why would you purchase a service subject to kyc laws in order to break your country’s laws in order to be on public trackers?

Just use a paid vpn with port forwarding like air or something and get on a private tracker for games. It’s easy, all it takes is consistency and organization. The sooner you start, the sooner you can finish.

E: it may not be clear what I’m saying. Kyc is short for know your customer. Places that offer services or process payments are subject to kyc laws that make it a requirement that the processor or service provider have records of who they’re handling the money of or selling services to. It’s relatively easy to purchase a vpn while bypassing kyc but buying a vps (virtual private server, the type of service that a seedbox is) using a chain of tools and payment handlers that bypass kyc is much harder.

When you say that the seedbox provider you’re considering will forward requests or delete your account it’s kyc laws that create the terrain that forces that set of behaviors.

If you’re worried about your country’s anti piracy laws coming down on you for using public trackers then using a seedbox service that’s legally required to be able to be tracked to you (because they have to know their customer) isn’t a way to bypass that.

You’re gonna have to learn to bind your client to an interface no matter what, but getting off public trackers is a great way to avoid legal problems.
