The inter-financial/promotional capitalistic circle jerk by vendors promoting substandard privacy and security products in this space appalls me. It's the worst kind of human centipedal behaviour as they voluntarily swallow and regurgitate claims for each other to build SEO etc

First they came for the GPUs. Now they come for the RAM. And in the end, the only one who loses is the consumer.

You don't need a GPU, but everything needs RAM.

Recently finished listening to this interview. Fantastic job @metroplex.bot ! Whether you've used GrapheneOS for years or are thinking about trying it, it's a must-watch/listen.

What's the best way to make your phone more secure in one tap? When you see this notification, tap 'Reboot'.

Gotta love when this "full 2025-10-01 security patch level" is not a typo!

I have no idea about the details of this situation, but it's good practice regardless to not depend on a single company for everything. A company also can't allow their services to be used for obvious illegal activity 🤷.

If your account holds your contacts, calendar, passwords, files, and email, you're SOL if it gets disabled.

Diversify and keep offline backups. If it’s someone else’s computer, it’s not yours.

Most people think they need to prepare for a sophisticated software attack, but your biggest risk is your habits. Exploiting people is often the easiest way in.

Anyone can fall for phishing, it’s happened to me.

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad to hear that!

Hopefully you enjoy the next season, it's a pretty big switch up from the previous two. 🤓

We've received the Pixel 10 we ordered and have confirmed it supports unlocking, flashing another verified boot key and locking again.

Our Pixel 10 support will likely only be possible to complete after we finish porting to Android 16 QPR1 which is being released in September.

That's fair, and is very tempting. Especially considering it's the backbone of everything. Regardless, IaC has been a game changer. I wish I didn't ignore it for so long.

The main goal is high-availablity. I've been doing the same as you for the last year with a single-instance, and it's been perfectly fine. But it now seems like the weakest point in my setup.
August 20, 2025 at 5:00 PM
I'm working on my setup, and I'm leaning towards two nodes with streaming replication + keepalived, a floating IP and pgBackRest. There are a lot of options out there with etcd, Patroni, PgBouncer, Load Balancer, but it just seems like a lot of moving parts + 3rd party software.

That's why I initially went with Swarm. I didn't want to overcomplicate my setup, but in reality, Swarm did. Glad to hear that's been your experience as well.

Question about your PostgreSQL setup in your recent blog post. Do you do any clustering?
August 20, 2025 at 4:35 PM
3 things I learned migrating from Docker Swarm to K3s:
- Complex setup, but easier management
- Infrastructure as Code. Use Ansible.
- Better config and secrets management.

Bonus
- The larger the community, the easier troubleshooting is.

Still too early to tell from what I've read. Once the developers get their hands on it, they'll know better.
August 9, 2025 at 8:27 PM
I am! If you ever have the opportunity to go, I highly recommend it. And with some of the terrifying things I learned, there absolutely will be some fresh content!
