Ah, I missed that crucial part, apologies. I’m not very well versed with cellular standards: I would assume that Qualcomm is not very OpenSource friendly. Is there any other manufacturer they could use?

Mullvad, IVPN and Nym for clearnet browsing. PIA, AirVPN and Windscribe for torrenting. Windscribe and PIA are probably good for either but this is my classification, take it as you will

Can you link to their court hearing, specifically where they refused to provide logs?

Also, do they accept crypto?

Can this be made into an android app to hook into android’s APIs for their modem? I think that would make it a lot more portable

Hardened Gentoo?

Use the image viewer used by TAILS

I don’t mind if people using LGPL. All I want is improvements to the source be published, and MIT simply doesn’t enforce that. I have no intention to force companies to publish their code that they have worked on for a long time - doing that never really helps. But I do want them to publish changes they make to already FOSS products so the author and the community can benefit.

Thank you for your work. If people like you were all around us, then I wouldn’t mind as much projects using MIT since we would still see contributions. But I doubt there’s that many people out there like you. Thank you for contributing to FOSS.

You can seed public torrents with Proton? I thought they did something to curb that a few years back.

What is your opinion on Windscribe and PIA?

MAC is generally more complex than simple Unix permissions. Whether SELinux is more complex than AppArmour is more up to preference in my opinion

Considering I am the operations team, just goes to show how much I have left to learn. I didn’t know about the external-dns operator.

Unfortunately, my company is a bit strange with certs and won’t let me handle them myself. Something to check out at home I guess.

I agree with you about the LVM. I have been meaning to set up Rook forever but never got around to it. It might still take a while but thanks for the reminder.

Wow. That must have been some work. I don’t have these certs myself but I’m looking at the CKA and CKS (or whatever that’s called). For sure, I loved our discussion. Thanks for your help.

ACLs are pretty good and have come in handy for me multiple times

I am using a reverse proxy in production. I just didn’t mention it here.

I’d have to set up a DNS record for both. I’d also have to create and rotate certs for both.

We use LVM, I simply mounted a volume for /usr/share/elasticsearch. The VMWare team will handle the underlying storage.

I agree with manually dealing with the repo. I dont think I’d set up unattended upgrades for my k8s cluster either so that’s moot. Downtime is not a big deal: this is not external and I’ve got 5 nodes. I guess if I didn’t use Ansible it would be a bit more legwork but that’s about it.

Overall I think we missed each other here.

SRE here and I agree with you. I’m basically a glorified Linux admin lol

The very act of writing FOSS code is altruistic. Indeed, I’m looking at the big corporations when I point and say “thief!”.

Some companies do work that I like though. Mullvad is a prime example. Recently I’ve been looking at Nym and I like their ideas and work. I really liked that the big giants like Google and IBM collaborated for k8s. I believe Uber has done something wonderful for the FOSS community too but I don’t remember what it is. The fact is that they can if they try

I understand that if your boss tells you to write MIT/Proprietary code, you do so. I just wish that the ones who had a choice would use GPL

I understand. I can’t argue against wanting to earn money and be told to do something. I just wish that those that have a choice would take the extra minute to use GPL

Because most corporations do not contribute their changes back if it’s MIT/BSD licensed
