    Arch and TempleOS being in the same sentence is pretty apt

    Both are weirdly religious

    [–] [email protected] 133 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    No, it's pacman. Debian is apt.

    Side note, isn't TempleOS not Linux based?

    Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?

    Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev's name was Terry Davis.

    [–] [email protected] 92 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    No, it's not. I'm making fun of NordVPN for calling it one.

    He made it because his schizophrenia made him believe that god told him to make an OS. It's quite a sad story. ):

    [–] [email protected] 39 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    Yeah, I remember reading about it a few years ago. Guy seems really talented, if kinda crazy and pretty racist. Curious to see where he'd be today if he hadn't lost his marbles.

    [–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

    Pretty sure he was hit by a train or smtn after becoming homeless

    [–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Yeah, I don't think it was confirmed to be suicide, but it sure looks a lot like suicide.

    I guess what I mean to say is that I wonder what he'd be up to if he hadn't done that.

    Down the Rabbit Hole: TempleOS.

    His racism was something that happened after he became schizophrenic, so I wouldn't dwell to much on that.

    If I'm remember the documentary correctly, his death happened shortly after what appear to be lucidly on his social media.

    thou shalt not use any software written by that rude Finnish man

    As a linux user you should know that all VPN companies are as trustworthy as a chronic liar, and therefore not rely on one. So it doesn't matter that they don't support Arch, really. And even good that they don't support Tails.

    Arch users, by definition, roll their own Wireguard networks

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

    Of course, I need to access my two different networks from anywhere anyway. And then I can also force all traffic through random proxies.

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

    K so what should I be doing instead

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago

    Just use mullvad

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

    Probably TOR.

    I hear I2P had a lot of potential, but also a lot of issues. Haven't checked up on that project in a bit. I know it was a BITCH to set up when I tried plinking with it some years ago.

    So TOR (despite the latency/speed issues and its own security concerns) is still probably about as good as it gets.

    The fuck is "TailOS"

    Also what about

    • Gentoo
    • Alpine
    • NixOS

    Just to name a few

    NordVPN is full of garbage. Use Mullvad, IVPN, Incognet or Tailscale instead

    Seconded. Proton's CEO is a Trump-supporter, and he doesn't even try hiding it.

    I've canceled my Proton subscription and I'm going to move to another service when it expires. Proton is dead.

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

    Last year Andy yen also moved proton to non profit proton foundation with majority shares of the company and 5 trustees of which Andy yen is only one. The majority stakeholder in Proton AG is now legally bound to do whats best for Proton and their stated mission

    So yeah Andy is kissing the ring and being a shit human but he's not the entirety of proton. Still weird Andy from Switzerland felt the need to proclaim his love for trump though.

    If you find another privacy focused email/vpn provider from a non14 eyes country that is owned by a non profit foundation then id be genuinely be interested but last i checked other alternatives are still full capitalist machines that haven't put privacy over profit.

    TailOS is what happens when someone gets the for browser and decides to make it a full distro (and also make the distro only run from USB)

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

    Yeah that's called "Tails" not TailOS. And it's a pretty great tool.

    no arch support, why? arch is a major distro

    [–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago

    it just means they can't help you, if you have an issue. of course you can still connect to their VPN.

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

    It's probably in the AUR. It's just unsupported.

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

    IDK why they are listing distros. They could just provide a wireguard config and be like "If you have wireguard, you can use the VPN", and 99% of distros would be supported.

    Best I remember from the doc I watched, TempleOS doesn't even have a network stack.

    [–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

    Who needs a network stack when you can speak to God on your OS? Isn't he like... connected to everything anyway?

    TempleOS is not even Linux based. It's a unique 16bit kernel.

    Make a list about which distro is included, not which not.. Else you would have a never ending test process..
