Arch and TempleOS being in the same sentence is pretty apt

Both are weirdly religious

[-] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 134 points 2 years ago

apt

Somebody called the Debian users?

[-] hamFoilHat@lemmy.world 87 points 2 years ago

No, it's pacman. Debian is apt.

Side note, isn't TempleOS not Linux based?

Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?

Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev's name was Terry Davis.

[-] penguin202124@sh.itjust.works 92 points 2 years ago

No, it's not. I'm making fun of NordVPN for calling it one.

He made it because his schizophrenia made him believe that god told him to make an OS. It's quite a sad story. ):

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 39 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I remember reading about it a few years ago. Guy seems really talented, if kinda crazy and pretty racist. Curious to see where he'd be today if he hadn't lost his marbles.

[-] Midnight1938@reddthat.com 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Pretty sure he was hit by a train or smtn after becoming homeless

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 27 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I don't think it was confirmed to be suicide, but it sure looks a lot like suicide.

I guess what I mean to say is that I wonder what he'd be up to if he hadn't done that.

Down the Rabbit Hole: TempleOS.

His racism was something that happened after he became schizophrenic, so I wouldn't dwell to much on that.

If I'm remember the documentary correctly, his death happened shortly after what appear to be lucidly on his social media.

thou shalt not use any software written by that rude Finnish man

As a linux user you should know that all VPN companies are as trustworthy as a chronic liar, and therefore not rely on one. So it doesn't matter that they don't support Arch, really. And even good that they don't support Tails.

[-] vinyl@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 25 points 2 years ago

Arch users, by definition, roll their own Wireguard networks

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 11 points 2 years ago

Of course, I need to access my two different networks from anywhere anyway. And then I can also force all traffic through random proxies.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

K so what should I be doing instead

[-] vinyl@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Just use mullvad

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 12 points 2 years ago

Probably TOR.

I hear I2P had a lot of potential, but also a lot of issues. Haven't checked up on that project in a bit. I know it was a BITCH to set up when I tried plinking with it some years ago.

So TOR (despite the latency/speed issues and its own security concerns) is still probably about as good as it gets.

The fuck is "TailOS"

Also what about

  • Gentoo
  • Alpine
  • NixOS

Just to name a few

NordVPN is full of garbage. Use Mullvad, IVPN, Incognet or Tailscale instead

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 48 points 2 years ago

Seconded. Proton's CEO is a Trump-supporter, and he doesn't even try hiding it.

I've canceled my Proton subscription and I'm going to move to another service when it expires. Proton is dead.

TailOS is what happens when someone gets the for browser and decides to make it a full distro (and also make the distro only run from USB)

[-] somenonewho@feddit.org 14 points 2 years ago

Yeah that's called "Tails" not TailOS. And it's a pretty great tool.

no arch support, why? arch is a major distro

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 years ago

it just means they can't help you, if you have an issue. of course you can still connect to their VPN.

It's probably in the AUR. It's just unsupported.

[-] yonder@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

IDK why they are listing distros. They could just provide a wireguard config and be like "If you have wireguard, you can use the VPN", and 99% of distros would be supported.

Best I remember from the doc I watched, TempleOS doesn't even have a network stack.

[-] Eyedust@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 years ago

Who needs a network stack when you can speak to God on your OS? Isn't he like... connected to everything anyway?

TempleOS is not even Linux based. It's a unique 16bit kernel.

Make a list about which distro is included, not which not.. Else you would have a never ending test process..

  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
