How long until US bans code from developers with ties to CN/RU?
That won’t happen because it would effectively mean banning all FOS which isn’t remotely practical.

My main issue is I’m not shutting down my Pi-Hole, home assistant, NAS etc etc just to plug in something like this in, and then 24h or so later shut them all down again to retrieve it again. That said I basically have a collection of Pis (passively cooled and this silent) and a Synology disk station so the power use is pretty low.
No Mint pretty much just works.
Great thing about Mint (or most Linux distros) is that you can try it by booting from a usb stick - see if you like it that way.
Hariette posted something a while back on Mastodon about illness. I think she said she was improving, but not much news since.
Hope she’s OK.
Posts and comments are federated (synchronised). Upvotes are actually a bit of a fudge, they are actually ‘Favourites’ if considered from an activity pub (e.g. Mastodon) perspective, and yes favourites are also federated.
Downvotes don’t exist in activity pub and, as a result, they do not federate between instances.
At least that is my understanding.
To give an example here is this thread on kbin.cafe:

Afraid not, each instance is independent in that sense so you need to go through the whole account creation again (although you can use the same username again, assuming it’s free).
That said, as with this instance, you can browse without needing to be logged in.
In terms of other kbin instances take a look here:
https://fedidb.org/software/kbin
Or here:
https://kbin.fediverse.observer/map
Interestingly, because of federation, this sort of happens anyway. If you’d hopped onto another kbin instance, or even Lemmy much of the content from magazines here was still accessable.
There is a lot of focus on this one flagship instance, but there are a number of other kbin instances now: https://fedidb.org/software/kbin
And like magic, now it is federating (but there have been no posts since).

Pi zero W has WiFi, alternatively there are hats available. And yes they can run a full Rasbian OS.
There are already plenty of audio hats available, indeed they are recommended for better quality sound.

There is even the folder icon as the logo to make this link clearer.
Not impacting me, and there have been no updates to the server for a while (it’s been a topic of conversation amongst the dev team because there is a big update planned about a week from now…)
Quite a few bug fixes planned in the imminent update, so chances are this will be fixed very soon.
Unity: Disappointed to discover denying access to a document with legal standing to the affected parties could have legal implications, and now trying to make up a cover story.
There fixed it for you.
While I largely agree with you, technically it is still E2EE even if the encryption is very poor (e.g. hey look I shifted every character by one along the ASCII table).
Poor encryption could then be broken by a party in the middle.
All of that said this is a bit irrelevant, if the encryption is so poor the provider can break it at will, so can bad actors. We don’t use broken (bad) encryption for a reason.
Well they’ve conceded aspects are not technically possible - but why let a trivial little details like that get in the way? (/s)
In time it may become a trade-off between new (with associated features and speed) Vs tried and tested/secure.
To us now this sounds perverse, but remember that NASA generally use very old hardware because they can be more certain the various bugs & features have been found and documented. In NASA’s case this is for reliability. I’ll concede ‘brute force’ does add another dimension when applying this logic to security.
This may also become an AI arms race. Finding exploits is likely something AI could become very good at - but a better AI seeking to obfuscate?
