The gender bender!

This is great news!

Mint is my choice of weapon when it comes to desktop Linux and I have been eyeing the Framework 13 for quite some time now.

These days I’d recommend Clone Hero

I love the simplicity in the colour palette and the subject.

It is like a gradient with a wave.

I shot it with my Nikon D3200. Old cheap second hand DSLR camera 😄

I’m glad you liked it!

NixOS is exactly what you want.

You declare your configs in a way that you can just copy them to another computer and it willbe configured the same way.

I’ve never tried it my self, but I might for my next machine.

Hi Lance

Hi Lance

What are some other companies that are also very down to earth and not using every trick in the book to get away with stuff?

I come to think of the Proton foundation, but that’s just because I am a fanboy of theirs.

Oh, most certainly not. I completely agree with your statement. It is a really unnecessary monument of capitalism where the owner of the building company owns the top floor as his own apartment or something like that.

But it looks cool 🙂

I’m glad you liked it!

I was having dinner outside watching the sun set over the city with my girlfriend. She noticed the colors in the reflections in the building. I have been trying to encourage her to get into photography, so I handed her the camera to take the shot. She managed to capture it really well!

The colors might be a bit exaggerated in post processing, but it is a great shot none the less!

Mycket korrekt ✅

Yup! Here’s some info about the building: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlatornet I think the colors come from the sun setting and the glass panes reflecting it in different colors because of their angles

MEP?

Correlation, not causation

No, I think you are misunderstanding my poor explanation.

Your emails are encrypted at rest on their server regardless if you use the web client or IMAP through the bridge.

The thing is that the encryption layer must happen at some point in time when you communicate with their API:s. In the web client this encryption is built-in. IMAP on the other hand does not support this type of end to end encryption, so the bridge adds this layer for you.

So you communicate unencrypted locally between your email client (Thunderbird for example) and the Protonmail bridge that you have installed locally on your computer. Then Protonmail bridge encrypts and decrypts all emails for you. So to your email client, it seems like a normal email server, but in reality everything is encrypted.

(Standard “encrypted email” disclaimer: Your emails are not encrypted in transit unless both parties, sending and receiving, are set up for encryption. Email is otherwise not end to end encrypted in transit)

Imap and end to end encryption are not possible at the same time.

Bridge exposes an IMAP interface but encrypts everything as Proton would, had you used the web client.

It solves a technical limitation.

I think that is just about how to strip the iodeOS modifications from the system without a complete reset or something. Probably using adb and fastboot as you mentioned. But I have no idea about how any of this works or why I would want to do that.

If you want to install any other OS, just go about it as you would normally. I don’t see how this changes anything really.

I’ve run iodéOS for at least a year by now.

It used to have some bugs that mildly inconvenienced me,but they have all been fixed now.

I really like it. It just works.

Uninstallable default apps just means that the stores (f-droid / aurora), browsers, camera and lots more can be removed in the settings, so you dont need to root access to do so.

Don’t want the default email client and contacts app? Just uninstall them from the settings. Takes a reboot to take effect.

If you need them again, just go back there, install them again, reboot and you’re golden.

Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
