  • You can use Tor: https://orbot.app/

    Cheapest way to not be in this situation is to run an exit node on your home network and route your traffic through when you're travelling (dead simple with Tailscale).

    Also try Mullvad's circumvention methods.

  • While that is true, EU is leading the world in some privacy invasions. Be it age verification or various initiatives to try and break E2EE. Those kind of efforts do not yet exist at even countries we would all agree are oppressive.

  • EU's Dark Power Blue (#003399) color.

    Is this because you like the color or you think using an EU color is appropriate here? Cause if its the latter, EU is a privacy nightmare so hard disagree.

  • Can you show a reproducible example of this? I couldn’t get a

    <package>

    .install included in a test package I made without explicitly adding it as install=

    <package>

    .install.

    I might be misremembering that detail or it might've changed since the last time I wrote a fresh PKGBUILD. Sorry I don't have any examples because my project does not use an install script.

    If you don’t trust people to read PKGBUILD’s I’m curious which form of software installation (outside of official repositories) you find safe.

    My preference goes Arch repos -> official aur packages that I read the manifests of -> verified flatpaks that I read the manifests of -> Nix -> compile myself

  • Starts with:

    it’d be nice if we sandboxed applications more.

    Turns into:

    you essentially can’t do anything about the applications themselves

    Not only contradicting with themselves but are also wrong in both cases. I don't know who tf is upvoting this pile of unintelligable crap.

    but securing the installation process is straight forward these days.

    No.

  • As a package maintainer in AUR, I never understood the awe with it. You're literally executing random shell scripts by strangers as root. It's the same thing as curl | sudo bash except its a lot easier to hide malicious things.

    Most people claim they read the PKGBUILD (which I don't believe tbh) but I bet they don't read <package>.install scripts which don't have to be explicitly mentioned in the PKGBUILD if it shares the same name as the package.

    I could push whatever I want to my package and hundreds of people will pick it up. Since I'm not a script kiddie like this guy, I could hide it much better too.

    I guess what I'm saying is, don't execute unvetted bash scripts as root kids. Open source doesn't mean people verify the code. It just means they can.

  • Yeah steamplay works so the devices can communicate. That might be it, not sure. I have about twice the local transfer speed of my internet connection. If its trying to be smart, its wrong. Unfortunately, steam doesn't tell you why its not working.

    Steam file transfer over local network?

    Is streaming to the deck supposed to "just work"?
