There usually isn't a separate modem chip, it's usually built into the SoC so removing that would be removing the entire CPU/GPU as well

But if you read the article even valve said fsync was basically good enough, why go this far if the improvements compared to fsync aren't amazing?

Rustless, mint? Probably just use LMDE

That's why IPv6 has privacy extensions which periodically rotate your address

Why is this being posted to Linux? Wouldn't !privacy@programming.dev be more appropriate?

Yeah, he did that...and then kept going for some reason. A separate subnet in a separate firewall zone that doesn't forward anywhere but the internet should be sufficiently safe

Fuse all the time would not be great for performance ...then again...does anyone care with minix?

LMAO this is really amusing. I hope it does some good but I doubt it

The thing about the kernel in particular is it's already mostly about money. With very few exceptions most maintainers are employed by someone, even just the Linux foundation, to work on the kernel full time. There's very little community involvement outside of the random patches here and there that community members submit. I think what OP is getting at is it would be nice if there was a community sponsored maintainer so it wasn't all just corporate employees but that likely means providing financial compensation.

What about the leftovers tho

They make a subvolume for every traditional unix partition and the system takes automated snapshots so you can rollback the system to older configurations. I don't actually run opensuse but I've dabbled with it specifically to see how they setup btrfs and you can just tell they're invested in it.

I hope one of the things they do is make better use of subvolumes. If you look at the way SUSE handles btrfs it's night and day compared to everyone else.
