Qubes is the best for managing VMs, it’s known as a security minded distro but it’s really the most well thought out VM manager I’ve seen. VMs are so well integrated.
NLNet funds some of the most interesting and diverse projects, including some ideas that have massive potential like Femtostar [1] which is an open version of Starlink, and Precursor [2] which is device which now physically exists and is arguably the most secure personal computer ever designed in modern times.
I browse through their projects all the time when I’m looking for interesting, cutting edge work.
There can be a good number of opinionated armchair know it all‘s, but, like HN, if you’re willing to sift through comments there’s lots of great insight and references you might not come across on your own.
I always love Eno’s description of the spec for this job:
“The thing from the agency said, ‘We want a piece of music that is inspiring, universal, blah-blah, da-da-da, optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional,’ this whole list of adjectives, and then at the bottom it said ‘and it must be 3.25 seconds long.’”
Unfortunately you don’t understand what trustless means in this context. “No one trusts a trustless coin” makes no sense, there is no trust required for it to function (theoretically). It works as expected whether your counterparty is a saint or entirely corrupt.
Are you joking? Thinkpads for decades have had all the parts replaceable with off the shelf components. Framework is barely caught up with my 2008 thinkpad lol.
I have been using the previous hisense a5 for years, it is absolutely wonderful. Maybe the Smallest ereader you can buy, with all of my note taking apps. Best way to read hacker news and my rss in the morning.
One caveat: I waited to buy mine until some one discovered a way to jailbreak. I have AFWall firewall so that no apps can connect to the internet without my whitelisting, which makes me feel better about all the Chinese crap. I also meticulously removed as much of the default apps as I could permanently, and disabled the rest.
I am dreaming of a Google pixel or Apple device with epaper so that I can trust it as a daily driver for everything.
I used to make a few hundred bucks a month on good months participating in a real app called SURKUS. Went to a lot of weird places, including a Halloween party put on by a VR consortium. It sent me to someone’s actual house party at least once, but usually was a movie, or an event in the park, or music event and almost every week they’d have me order something off Amazon to review. They would pay via PayPal the value of the Amazon product plus $5-$20 for my time.
