Funnily enough, it takes more than 5 minutes to bump the char limits on Mastodon's toots

It's been compiling for ages (I'm just bumping to 1000) and doesn't seem to get anywhere, almost as if it was stuck for the arm64 target

On the other hand, the amd64 target is working like a charm, so I guess it has to do with architecture emulation ?

@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Exactly...

Coincidentially, that's why #Android (and #iOS) doesn't let users have #root access because billions of devices owned by mostly "#TechIlluterates" thathardly get #SecurityUpdates would be an even bigger risk if they didn't boot a locked-down #ROM image, thus only allowing for #malware in user-privilegued userspace!

• I'd even go so far that I'd wish for @torproject to basically merge fmr. #FirefoxOS / #KaiOS & @tails_live / @tails / #Tails to build a #privacy-focussed #ROM for #Smartphones and #Tablets i.e. "#TailsMobile" or sth.

Cuz having a mobile OS that shoves everything through #Tor and only allows #userspace-Apps in the form modern web technologies would be a big #security and #privacy gain.

• Not to mention #amd64 is on it's way out and inevitably they gotta have to transition to supporting #arm64 and eventually #RISCv-#64bit at some point.

We've just published the first multi-arch Bluefin-LTS builds! Bluefin-LTS has been an amazing place to test new things and this worked amazingly well with the new Github runners!

It is as if a dam broke in 2006. Huge architectural diversity before 2004, almost none after 2008.

@wravoc instead of insulting @froge how about we actually do make things better and let actual facts speak.

• If you're here to just spam my mentions, then please let me know so I can mute this conversation as I got more pressing things than virtual "circlejerking" on my agenda.

#ITsec is garbage because absolute fundamentals are disregarded by highest decisionmakers and regulators to users:

• Neither do people get taught proper #IT nor do they get taught #OpSec, #InfoSec, #ComSec and absolute *#security basics.

Not to mention the fact that we still allow #Govware that is insecure in any configuration like #Windows to not only exist but be sold and used by real public administrations and businesses which oftentimes just pour #DigitalSnakeoil on it and then do a "surprised Pikachu face" when that shit explodes in their face.

• And don't even get folks like @stman started on all the systemic security issues that are unfixable in #amd64, #arm64 et. al. cuz those - alongside the #complexity and #intransparency - are among the reasons why #Germany banned #VotingMachines for good.

Yes. this is a good thing for #ITsec to let end-users know if their system runs #outdated / #vulnerable #Microcode and have #Linux update it.

• OFC this can't fix the systemic issues #ix86 & #amd64 have, but I do think this is such a vital thing that I do want to integrate it into @OS1337 as having some low-level diagnostics and means to fix things is literally the point of said distro!

Consider it a more streamlined "Rescue Linux" which is intended to be #reprpduceable, #auditable and small enough to fit on a #BootROM!
