That sounds like a lot. Is it more than a bajillion, or less?

My servers require manual unlock via SSH at boot. It has been great for years.

Anyone know if this affects GrapheneOS users? I can install GrapheneOS like 50x faster than it would take to understand what I’m legally binding myself to by signing the petition.

I genuinely appreciate the cause, but to sign this, I have to provide PII, agree to their terms of service and privacy policy, and get automatically opted-in to their mailing list that I’ll have to unsubscribe from later.

So to petition against this shitty tech stuff, I have to go through this other shitty tech stuff. It sucks how normalized this all has become.

I used a mini PC (from Minisforum) for my home server for a while. It worked great— until it didn’t. It just suddenly shut off forever without any warning signs or anything. No signs of life. I confirmed that the power supply and memory were fine. The only option is to find a replacement motherboard (and CPU/GPU since it’s an APU soldered onto the motherboard).

I ended up just building a PC to replace it. I don’t recommend a mini PC for this purpose.

I’ve been pretty happy with Peergos

I went with a dedicated mini PC with one of those motherboards that are designed for building a network appliance. It has been running very smoothly for a few years, and I just log in occasionally to run system updates.

I want my network and Internet connection to continue working, regardless of my tinkering with home server stuff.
