Thanks for the detailed feedback. I think I am also leaning towards Opnsense right now. I think for a relative newbie like me, that would be better.
I know that I can build and host everything on my own on a pure Linux distro, but I would like to have some life left at the end of the day and not spend days of building testing and debugging network related problems.
By the way another user suggested that with VyOS you can build an LTS target yourself and that they provide build instructions.
That’s 10A, not the regular Pixel 10.
I think the 10A can be found at a good discount like 300-350€. But the base 10 and 11 are quite expensive.
The base Pixel is 1K Euro this year. Are they really thinking of releasing a 1K+ phone? That’s absolutely insane.
Pixels used to be mid range phones with great cameras or more precisely great image processors for mid range prices to overvalued mid range phones with outdated hardware.
Even if they don’t make it, the whole fact that the aviation industry goes less CO2 intensive would be a good win.
Halving the population would definitely help, but some country populations have a lot lower impact than others.
The real problem is the consumerism mentality, where we need to buy even bigger cars, TVs, houses, clothes, etc.
This is what destroys our planet. And even if the population halves, this trend can negate much of the effect.
Yes, this makes us even more ignorant. At some point in the past I was kind of hopeful we as united humanity can overcome this problem, like with the ozone layer hole, but then these individualistic policies started to sweep over the world and people started to care about other problems more.
To be honest DRAM was dirt cheap for quite a while and the profit margins of those companies were razor thin. Only recently they saw a surge in demand and they are exploiting it to enrich themselves but also increasing the manufacturing capacity is a lengthy and costly process which I presume some of those companies are actively trying to delay, in order to preserve their fat profit margins now.
Competition is good though and hopefully will lower the price overall faster.
Unfortunately the problem with global warming is that it happens very slowly over time. Scientists were warning us of the impacts of global warming for at least a decade but we have somehow prioritized the short term gains and now we and our children will bear the fruits of our negligence.
Can you tell me the number of casualties on both sides. Let’s take kids for example. And then tell me who is massacring who exactly.
It never ceases to amaze me how you can still claim you are the victim when numbers tell a completely different story.
The beauty is when those companies run out of human training data and start training on AI slop, just to generate even more AI slop.
This is probably already happening though.
Today’s atomic bombs are way more powerful than the ones dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Humanity hasn’t learned anything from history.
Until next year, when they will be just 6 weeks to a nuclear bomb.
It depends on the country you are living in. There are plenty of people with restricted and surveilled internet.
Manjaro was quite messy last time I tried it a couple of years ago.
Yes, so pretty much they don’t want to be held responsible. And the government is bending backwards to comply with the tech bros.
But how would they know I have been truthful about my age? I mean I am never putting my real age when registering on websites.
Why do they need the age after all. What are authorities going to do with it?
Climate change is a real threat that will affect the lives of billions of people. The only difference is that it doesn’t happen overnight and people are normalizing its effects.
I do agree with you that western religions seem to be another dividing factor and are used by certain individuals to control their own populations with populist bullshit.
The problem is not the religion per se, but the people who are using it to control the population. And this comes from an atheist.
Check the second hand options. I bought a brand new Pixel 10 Pro at the beginning of the year for 600€ from the second hand market from a guy who got it with his contract renewal for free. I think back then the regular Pixel was costing 500€, so I can imagine that you can find a Pixel 9 for 300-350€ in a very good condition.
