As always, the answer is “depends”. It shouldn’t hurt unless you’re dual-booting windows (they used it last year as a weapon in their “mess up grub” game), but, Imo, it’s worth the trouble if:

• your data is also encrypted – otherwise one just removes the HDD/SSD and reads what they need;
• you provision your own keys – to not depend on Microsoft signing shims for you;
• you delete the already provisioned keys – Microsoft signed a few vulnerable things, like one kaspersky’s (iirc) live CD with grub not locked down, so one can boot up literally anything anyway;
• you lock down grub or whatever bootloader you’re using – otherwise you become that vulnerable live cd;
• you password lock the uefi – otherwise one can simply disable the secureboot;
• your vendor’s implementation isn’t terribly buggy – iirc, some MSI laptops would just ignore all the discrepancies.

So, a lot of ifs, and a necessity to store the uefi password somewhere safe, as those may be a pita to reset.

As for standalone stuff – idk, it might protect you from malware injecting itself into the bootloader or something, but given there’s likely no chain of trust (I.e. the bootloader doesn’t check what it bootloads), it can move in on some later step.

This, but backtrack 5 (the one just before kali). On a laptop that’d take several eternities to brutforce an md5 🤣

Reminded me one of the vids of f4mi, although that ladiy’s approach is far more beautiful. Basically, she took advantage of ai scrapers relying on subtitles and YouTube allowing for pretty advanced styling of those very subtitles to insert garbage that only bots will see.

Quite simple, actually. If you want to do a thing that violates a law, you modify the law to allow the thing.

Innovative as always, I see.

Codeberg is a forgejo instance, yes

You sure? To me some of the other options look more convenient, so to say, especially if you tend to watch stuff while away from home :)

GuixSD then /jk

As a Russian, fuck those assholes and the shithole they’re operating.

Please, just don’t. At least unless there’s a reasonably not shady ROM on XDA that you feel comfortable flashing.

A recent report from Stanford University in the US, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that recycling lithium-ion batteries is far more environmentally friendly than mining for new materials.

Huh, who knew

Riiiiight, a chromium fork with questionable crypyo and a history of even more questionable decisions (referral scam or not blocking all the trackers, for example) is better than a non-chromium non-fork with no crypto and a history of questionable decisions.
