It’s worth watching.

Say more?

NixOS supports headless LUKS, which was an improvement for me in my last distro-hop. The NixOS wiki even has an example of running a TOR Onion service from initrd to accept a LUKS unlock credential.

Regulation is slow, full of drama, scales poorly, & can result in a legal thicket that teams of lawyers can navigate better than the individuals it’s intended to advocate for. Decriminalizing interoperability is faster & can handle most of the small/simple cases, freeing up our community/legislative resources to focus on the most important regulatory needs.

X11 for xdotool. ydotool doesn’t support (& can’t really support with it’s current architecture) retrieving information like the current mouse location, current window, window dimensions & titles. Also, normal (unprivileged) user ydotool use requires udev rules or session scripts and/or running a ydotool daemon & many distros don’t yet ship with this Just Working.

X11 for Alt-F2 r to restart Gnome Shell without ending the whole session. This is a useful workaround for a variety of Gnome bugs.

1. Paper tokens: Produce 100 billion authentication tokens (could be passwords, could be private keys of signed certificates), print them on thick paper, fold them up, publicly stir them in giant vats at their central manufacturing location before distributing them to show that no record is being kept of where each token is being geographically routed to, and the have them freely available in giant buckets at any establishment that already does age-checks for any other reason (bars, grocery stores that sell alcohol or tobacco, etc.). The customer does the usual age-verification ritual, then reaches into the bucket and themselves randomly selects any reasonable number of paper tokens to take with them. It should be obvious to all parties that no record is being kept of which human took which token.

2. Require these tokens to be used for something besides porn access. Maybe for filing your taxes, opening bank accounts, voting, or online alcohol / tobacco purchases. This way, people requesting these tokens do not divulge that they are pornography viewers.

Any sane compiler will simplify this into

    function cosmicRayDetector() {
      while(true) {
      }
    }

C++ may further ‘simplify’ this into

    function cosmicRayDetector() {
      return
    }
