The goal of privacy/security in any tech I feel like is to get as close to 100% as is feasible without needing to disconnect from the internet.

More or less, that would be whatever is 90+%

100% is impossible of course.

Security doesn't per-say is more about malware as a whole being blocked not just spyware. Privacy however is mostly about spyware being blocked.

As far as microcode updates go, hardware wise? is fine imo.

Software wise? too excessive. Don't need both.

But yeah, both privacy and security do have overlapping areas. I think 95+% security is possible, with OpenBSD
Linux probably 95% period.

Everything else falls way short probably unless it doesn't connect to the internet.

But yeah some of what has been said here is mostly accurate.

wouldn't know what psuedo transparency is or why it is important.

@greenjeans I myself use sakura, it has the fewest dependencies of any terminal I have seen while still having scrollback and other basic options I need including paste.

For a laugh

@golinux alrighty got it. Yeah, stubbornness and arrogance is good to put in that category of stupid.

Since people who are arrogant usually know almost nothing.

I don't think I know as much as I used to, I will say that.

I am a dot in this universe. Why should I have a big head anymore...

It did so well for me in my first 35 years

(sarcasm)

@Devarch I hope you are being sarcastic... Bill Gates is the least  trusted person in big tech as far as I am concerned.

Ah yes, KDE3... the last kde that looks semi-good.

here you go;

qemu-img create -f qcow2 Unknown.qcow2 60G
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 3072 -cdrom Unknown.iso -boot d Unknown.qcow2 --enable-kvm
qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm Unknown.qcow2 -cpu kvm64,+nx -m 4096 -device AC97

The below is for loading usbs in said vm:

qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm Unknown.qcow2 -cpu kvm64,+nx -m 4096 -device AC97 -hdb /dev/sdb

@golinux I saw no mention of this on this forum, so I thought I knew something most people here didn't.

I am glad someone is developing an alternative for x86 including 64 bit at least anyhow. Maybe other architectures will follow once they get stable support for their devices.

I am of course talking of HyperbolaBSD. (when its stable!)

If it gets up to snuff the way it should, perhaps Devuan will have another interface of interest if this corporate nonsense starts overtaking linux to the level of no return.

I doubt the point of no return has happened yet though, as devuan still exists.

@GNUser That is fair,.  Btw, to be honest, the only init that is probably as light as sysvinit but still very featured like openrc is runit.

I still have to learn a bit more on how to use it though.

@delgado maybe blobs was the wrong word, what I should have said, is privacy invasive blobs.

Like anything that is a blob that has a network stack that can send stuff where you don't want it.

An example of this for many is, intel me enabled fully in most intel devices.

If you have such a situation, keep important files off of that!

That would be my reply.

@ralph.ronnquist fair point hmm....

Yeah, it must keep resetting... then.  I am doing something a bit out of the norm anyhow for here.

So I will leave it at that.
