Small phones under 700£

A Fairphone 3/4 might be your solution, definitely check it out

They said they wanted to support it for more than 5 years but the industry won't allow it since they stop distributing the components after a few years, but they are gonna support it as far as they can AFAIK.

App bancaria con MFA/TOTP standard?

Già, altra cosa che non riesco assolutamente a capire.

Se i dati biometrici vengono leakati, o qualcuno ottiene l'impronta digitale del mio dito, vuol dire che avranno accesso fino al resto della mia vita a tutto quello che ho?

Ok che per la maggior parte hanno tutti 10 diti e nel caso posso usare un'altro dei 10, ma a questo punto è meglio una chiave fisica, che almeno può essere cambiata nel tempo.

Downfall Attacks

This seems much more exploitable than Meltdown/Spectre.

I wonder when fully libre/open source CPUs will appear. Maybe then we'll just reprogram the FPGA in our CPUs and things like this will stop happening.

A RISC-V desktop

Reply in thread

Yeah, RISC-V in general isn't yet ready for mainstream use, but it's a major step forward in the right direction.

It's a 64bit CPU running at 2Ghz, that works on a MOBO with 1 x16 port.

They market it on their website as "Make native RISC-V development possible" so of course your don't buy this expecting everything to work out of the box.

Reddthat Update: August-ish 2024

Hey Tiff, awesome work.

Have you considered buying hardware and renting only the datacenter location? Then you just have to pay for its rent (power + space in a datacenter).

Especially for higher ram usage, it usually pays off.

It's sometimes called server colocation, for example this italian provider https://serverdedicati.aruba.it/colocation offers :

  • 100 Watts
  • 100 Mbit/s
  • 2U server height
  • 75cm of depth Starting at 59€ + taxes.

With this you could have much more RAM. There are also many smaller providers that offer much more competitive prices, you then really cut costs.

Edit:

Contabo https://contabo.com/en/dedicated-servers/ makes 95€ a month for 64GB RAM

Otherwise I remembered this website https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers that has various smaller providers proving colocation.

For example, this one https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/184470/alexhost-com-web-hosting-vps-dedicated-servers-colocation-md offers https://alexhost.com/colocation-in-moldova/ 77€ for 300 Watts. With that, you can easily get a chunkier server with lots of RAM and disks and do whatever you want at a MUCH lower price :)

IPFS, why haven't we seen video streaming services?

There's this project: https://watchit.movie/#/ https://github.com/ZorrillosDev/watchit-app

I never got to try it, but they are doing exactly what you want it seems. I don't know how much of their backend they have open-sourced, though. I definitely need to research this more.

They do have a matrix channel and a fediverse presence, so they already look quite alright from the start, and the project is very interesting.
