DivestOS sounds interesting but I am wary of any "mission-critical" software project (such as the firmware for my primary phone) that relies on a single person, for multiple reasons. Burnout and potential for social engineering by malicious actors being two of them.

GP:s comment made me curious as well. Usually, if multiple hardware vendors are supported there are separate branches with different maintainers. It doesn't necessarily mean that the main codebase is bloated as a result.

For those that are looking to install GrapheneOS and want to ensure that their banking apps work as intended, here is a curated list with app compability status per country.

Each entry also lists required settings, profile and whether they need access to Google Play services, among other details.

Security. The more popular a piece of software gets (including operating systems), it becomes a bigger attack surface for malicious actors to use.

Fundamentally, Windows security is not really that much of a swiss cheese people usually say it is. It's just that more people (researchers and malicious actors alike) are actively looking for vulnerabilities in it.

CPU vulnerability mitigations would typically be distributed with the intel-microcode package for Intel processors on Debian-based distributions, for example.

And QubesOS isnt based on linux kernel. It uses Xen. Linux is used in the Qubes aka VMs.

The dom0 is very much running a Linux kernel, the same way your domU:s are typically running Linux kernels (although you could probably run any kernel in hvm mode).

As an example, here is the documentation on how to manage updates for the dom0 kernel:

Hadn't heard about deSec until now, seems to be run by some cool privacy minded folks in Germany:

I guess you already know about the options, but for others:

Find the cheapest VPS out there and have a Wireguard tunnel between it and your home network. Run ddclient or similar on the VPS in case the public IP changes.

They went crying about WPEngine having found a good business model around Wordpress support, and started sabotaging for them.

Looks like they lost in court a few days ago!

Comments aren't normally accessible unless you (independently) open and read the source code file as you would with any arbitrary file.

For the same price and power usage as the Pi?

If you're looking for single people, Tinder or Grindr is probably a better place
