Maybe younger people won't appreciate this as much, having grown up when this weren't so rare, but nothing quite illustrates to me how far Linux has come than browsing Amazon and seeing "Linux" listed as a first-class citizen on product images. Not buried in the details, not answered in a FAQ, but right there on the product image at the top of the listing. Many of you will remember having to dig through wikis and forums to uncover whether a product was compatible with Linux; and sometimes you still do.

This is only a USB device; it'd be more surprising if it weren't Linux compatible... but that's not the point; the point is that "Linux" is advertised at the top right there after Windows and before Mac OS or Android. That's what still grabs me. Metrics and guestimates are great; in a capitalist world, it's often what advertisements say that indicate a truer story.

I'd like to put a Tux sticker on my car. Maybe ~20 cm. Does anyone know a linux supporting seller who ships to Germany?

This has always been a thought of mine. I wanted to replace/remove any non-free kernels with a libre kernel that doesn't provide non-free binaries. I know some people say it does not matter, but I think it would be a cool idea.

I was thinking about hardening QubesOS by possibly using a deblobbed version of the Kicksecure kernel on all VMs. It would also come with Javascript disabled entirely on all VMs, all non-free binaries removed, everything ran over Tor by default, maybe creating a custom repo with only free software, etc.

This would be inclined towards people who use Libreboot/Canoeboot, specifically those that use systems like OptiPlex 9020 and T440p, that run only 100% free software in the BIOS.

I've never attempted it, but I would like to know if anyone would be interested.

Hi there, everyone.

For various reasons, our family makes use of Life360. I'm wanting to move to either a linux or completely degoogled phone(ATM, I'm on Graphene but utilize the Play store for Life360 and a few other apps) but can't afford not to have the ability for a group of 4 phones to share their locations with each other all the time, not just to send a pin at certain times. I ONLY need the real time sharing to other devices in the group, I don't need anything else that Life360 offers.

It can't be hard to use as one of the phones we need it on is owned by an 80yo with cognitive/memory issues. This is where Life360 shines, we're able to find him without him ever needing to do anything on his phone.

Is there an option for this out there for self hosting? I could even handle not self-hosted but multi-OS and non-Play connected. I do have a couple VPS I could run backend software on, if needed.

Thanks for your time!
