bananabernhardon Update on Linux hibernation support when lockdown is enabled

Does consumer hardware designed for linux even exist? Even bigger shops like system76 buy preconfigured laptops and install coreboot and PopOS! on it.

bananabernhardon Show HN: SlikSafe – A decentralized, end-to-end encrypted alternative to Dropbox

I am quite confident that the NSA does not have a complete image of the encrypted data in my self-hosted Nextcloud instance. With IPFS they wouldn't even have to do anything, if they sometime in the future were able to break the encryption.

bananabernhardon Russian court accidentally confirmed Russian military presence in Ukraine

I think the fact that the parties that are in favor of leaving NATO have very little political relevance speaks for itself. And my anecdotal evidence after living my entire live in Germany is, that most people just don't care, and even the people that care and like NATO outnumber the ones that hate them. It's just my experience though. And if you're so deep into conspiracies, that your only explanation is that "the media" faked the poll (and possibly even the election, wtf) then I don't think there is any value in continuing this discussion.

bananabernhardon Russian court accidentally confirmed Russian military presence in Ukraine

[citation needed]

There are two major parties in Germany who oppose NATO membership: The far-right AfD and the left to far-left Linke. They have less than 20% of the national vote together. In 2019 there were 54% of Germans in favor of the NATO membership and 13% opposed it. [1]

Can't talk for the other countries, but given that you have no sources other than "I heard someone say that", I'm not inclined to believe it.

bananabernhardon Show HN: I made an app that tracks your devices' batteries from your Mac

Seems useful, I'm kinda sad that I can't use it, because I'm one of these psychopaths who like macOS, but dread iOS. And kudos for not making it a subscription model.

bananabernhardon Cryptocurrency scams cost owners $7.7B in 2021, driven by DeFi-based “rug pulls”

yeah, but then you recreated traditional banking, just as they said. It's almost like there are reasons, as to why things are like they are right now.

bananabernhardon Cryptocurrency scams cost owners $7.7B in 2021, driven by DeFi-based “rug pulls”

yeah, but the 7.7B is only the scam part - I'd suspect the bubble part of cryptocurrencies and NFTs will be much higher

bananabernhardon C64 OS: make a Commodore 64 feel fast and useful

I'm a bit bummed out that it's closed source - I would've liked to look through the code.

bananabernhardon Chrome users beware: Manifest v3 is deceitful and threatening

While there seems to be some disagreement with your position, I just wanted to thank you for being transparent about your involvement at Google. More people should act like that.
