... and that was also a year before the crypto winter in 2018 :)

For Linux desktop users. A bit of tongue-in-cheek but that's pretty much the argument that I've heard in some circles ("it works for us and not going away anytime soon - why waste time convincing others?").


Instead of Keycloak, I would recommend giving Kanidm a try: It's much more lightweight and covers most of what you usually need (one notable exception being SAML).

None of which reflect well on the author. The "We're very proud of you." is exceedingly condescending.


Buyers beware: 4-core A53 is genuinely unusable (original Pinebook/PinePhone specs), A55 is better but I still wouldn’t recommend buying. You may expect performance similar to 15+ years old desktops.


Creator here,

For the IMX8MP - The pinephone was 1.2 GHz, this is 1.8 GHz on all four cores. As far as geekbench goes it hits between the Pi 3 and Pi 4, faster EMMC and LPDDR4 gives it a bigger boost compared to the Pi 3. The PCIe 3.0 is also there. Yes it is not equivalent to a desktop use, but for a phone sized usecases, the processor has not been a bottle neck. The advantage you get is a battery life that goes 7 hours on idle with the display on, and on sleep it can go upto 8D and wake up instantly.

The IMX95 is 6x A55 at 1.8GHz but you can check the geekbench below, it matches the single core performance of Pi 4 and beats it at multi-core performance while offering LPDDR5. But at the same time, is only 15% more power hungry than the 8MP.

So the way we see it -

Pi 3 < Comet 8MP < Pi 4 < Comet 95 < Pi 5

Edit: The IMX95 is 6-cores A55 and not 4-cores


User of Librem 5 phone with this CPU here. It works fine as a daily driver. Firefox with Noscript works fine in desktop mode. See also: https://puri.sm/posts/the-danger-of-focusing-on-specs/


Off-topic but curious if you experience this issue my Librem5 exhibits - I use my L5 mostly just to play mp3s. Regardless of being powered over usb-c or running on battery, it frequently has audio blips reminiscent of some old laptops briefly going in and out of deeper sleep states long enough for an audio blip.

Have you noticed something similar? do you listen to music on your L5?

Edit: I should also mention it does this regardless of audio out the internal DAC+3.5mm TRS, or over a USB MBox attached to a dock. It seems to be something quite low-level disabling interrupts for too long, something like that.


I do not experience any problems while playing music (except initial buffering on Bluetooth). I recommend to ask for advice on https:/forums.puri.sm


And what’s wrong with a 15+yo desktop? Light OS, get stuff done. Are we trying to run a Switch emulator on this thing?


First time I heard about this project what's wrong with the CPU? I mean what makes it unusable?


It's only unusable if you try running bloated modern apps on it.


Without a proper proxy setup, access to GitHub is often painfully slow from mainline China.

But the choice of Baidu Pan is indeed questionable: You need a Chinese phone number in order to sign up, which is out of reach for many expats living overseas. I don't get why they can’t just mirror it on a university server.


> I think... it builds a busybox system based on desired commands (similar to a dockerfile, but using a REPL?).

I am now very curious how you arrived at this conclusion. Did you make use of any LLM? If so, which model and what prompt did you use?


I assume that you are being sarcastic and referencing The Island movie?


What’s wrong with Substack?


They might be referring to Substack having a very open policy of having writers of any political (and other) affiliation on the platform, but I don't necessarily see it as a drawback to be so neutral.

If you want free speech, you'll have to have people who have views you don't like, otherwise they might silence you too.


That would include people with views about Substack too, though, right?


Of course, why wouldn't it?


Oh, you're so close. The fascists are parasites: they only tolerate liberalism insofar as it allows them to spread their ideas. They desperately want to--and will--silence their opponents as soon as they wield power. They view tolerance as a weakness, and the social contract as a game to be played only until it can be rewritten.

I do not dispute that Nazis can, legally, say what they say. I don't even necessarily think it's bad that their speech is protected. But their speech should have consequences, and platform owners can and should tell them to fuck off.


> But their speech should have consequences, and platform owners can and should tell them to fuck off.

Sure, some platforms do, and some don't, like Substack, that is their prerogative and if people don't like it they can choose not to read them. But we cannot force them to do anything, nor should we.


Not views that espouse violence.

This. Sorry you're getting down votes at this moment for speaking the truth, but there really is no excuse for anti society anti intellectual illiberalism from the world's literal biggest losers.


Might be the allegations such as those made by David Farrier this August[1]

> Then, last month, Substack sent out a push notification to some users of the Substack app encouraging them to subscribe to a Nazi newsletter. Like, full-Nazi stuff. Not subtle:

followed by a screenshot of a Substack profile full of swastikas describing itself as news for the "National Socialist and White Nationalist Community"

IIRC macOS upgrades will automatically store a FileVault token (basically `fdesetup authrestart`) before restarting, so the disk is automatically unlocked. It's not a Tahoe-specific thing.


Oh I didn't know that, interesting to learn in hindsight. Thanks!
