It works fine for me

That probably won’t work well

It should as that’s a basic feature. It probably is just for mpeg2 at lower resolutions

Anything that requires GPU decoding will be choppy as it doesn’t support modern codex. However, assuming graphics acceleration working you should be able to browse the internet. Just make sure you have a SSD and some swap.

I tried setting up luks on one of these devices and it did work but the IO performance was slow due to the lack of CPU acceleration for modern cryptography. (That’s the theme of older devices)

Use Debian

Let me guess, Broadcom

Back in my day Broadcom was the company that causes non stop problems

Dear Microsoft support,

We use an Alexa which I have connected to our nieghboring company’s guest wifi. When our firewall goes down, I have a raspberry pi that is programmed to play a recording of my voice that says “Alexa Turn Off The Christmas Tree” (i can’t figure out how to reprogram the smart plug.) and then 5 minutes later another recording that says “Alexa turn on the christmas tree.” This is has worked very well for us so far.

You can build a custom uBlue image? Could that be used for a server?

There is nothing stopping you from doing so

China is taking over everywhere

Your machine is broke. Time to reinstall

Yes?

All the options you brought up are possible. What are you trying to do?

How so? There are lots of valid complains about gnome but stability is not one of them. They are very careful about the stuff they ship by default.

Just because you can afford something doesn’t mean you should buy it or that it is a good deal.

That only works if the decryption is happening on hardware you control. You can not trust any part of the VPS including the memory and CPU

Intel is pushing there “encrypted enclave” which supposedly protects the host from being able to read or write guest memory. However, I have serious doubt as it is a black box system. It also is very problematic when a security issue (or backdoor) is found as your data is basically exposed

Ultimately you are right about this which is sad. I wonder if at some point there could be a zero knowledge cache for https. Maybe double encrypt it and have the client decrypt it fully.

You don’t really. Treat it as totally untrusted

I respect the gnome team for not wanting to create instability or confusion. KDE could learn a thing or two

Why is it so ugly?

I’m just imagining how much money a compromised Azure tenant could make
