Yes. Caveat: It might not really be worth it if all your infrastructure is managed by these newfangled infrastructure-as-code-things that are quick to roll out (OpenShift/OKD, Talos, etc.) and you have only one repo to change SSH keys (single cluster or single repo for all clusters).

There are some serious security benefits for larger organizations but it does not sound as if you are part of one.


Beer, cider and bread (leavened with yeast or sourdough at least) are fermented. What was your point again?

The problem is the device attestation. See https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-gu... for details.


Really important to first, pick that example of content moderation and then point out that he's an Israeli. Maybe think about why you used that example when there are countless others regarding free speech/internet freedom.


I would point to the opposite bias, the guardian mentions Chinese surveillance tech exported to Africa, but makes no mention of Israeli spyware exports. The Israeli export of civil repression technology, expertise and training is actually very well documented, having a lot of practice with such oppression domestically.


As if the guardian was overly pro-Israeli. I would argue that it makes more sense in that context to mention Chinese surveillance tech, because it's not an ally of the US.


I would think it's very much important to point out the double standard, it's an ally of the west so it's fine if they do it, but not if china does it because they are the "enemy". That's all what the comment you accused of antisemitism was doing.


Well, double standard is of course a thing (like accusing the only democracy for not being democratic enough without saying anything about much more oppressive regimes around; but also about surveillance in one place and also another). I think it is to make a different point though.

This funding from the US was to get around surveillance (everywhere), so it makes sense to argue, that a rival global player exports surveillance tech, because the funded tech is to counter that. That argument would not work with Israeli surveillance tech.


It’s extremely relevant. The Trump admin just facilitated the sale of TikTok to an ardent Zionist for an incredibly cheap price, and Netanyahu himself gave a talk saying it was the most important event in the “eighth front” of their war. Same just happened with CBS.

Larry Ellison (the new owner of TikTok) personally vetted Marco Rubio for fealty to Israel.

The United States is days away from going to war with Iran on behalf of Israel, which makes this even more important.

Israeli mega donors Miriam Adelson, Larry Ellison, Ronald Lauder, etc, have given Trump literally hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign donations to facilitate this special treatment of Israel and to help transfer control of these media orgs to Israelis. They have all stated openly that this is the case.


Very unhelpful comment. Some people don't want to run on anything AOSP. Being able to manage the device with standard linux tooling is a major plus for some people.


What's wrong with AOSP though? It's also a Linux kernel. And someone has done the hard work of creating a decent UI and solved the other real issues.


I don't think your run often into these things, because of Rust's ownership enforcement. But I might be misunderstanding you, because it's all pretty abstract and I might not have the whole context.


There is relatively little Rust in the kernel, but there are even less Rust CVEs. In this cycle alone there were 160 CVEs, one in Rust. The first one! The amount of rust is way less than 1/160 and even that statistic is off, because one should count all CVEs.


> because one should count all CVEs.

That is debatable, and I think untrue. It sometimes takes years to find CVEs in C code, and I don’t know of an argument why that would be different for Rust.

The fairest comparison, I think, would be with other new code of similar complexity in the kernel, and track #of CVEs per equivalent functionality (per line of code might be sufficient, but if one language is verbose than the other, you should correct for that)


https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/ion/-/blob/master/examp...

But I assume it's for redox, so you can't use it on a regular linux.



Decap's cool but I've never really liked their approach to UI/UX, also it was kind of painful to setup the last I tinkered with it.


Can you use mobilepay? (Or is that not a thing in Sweden?)


I've never heard of it.

In Sweden we typically use Swish, which again works great.

"Tap to pay" things are problematic though but it's not something I personally use (even before I migrated away from stock Android).
