Graphene is the best but you need a Pixel. Google services don't work but freedom and liberty and someshit

A lot of this is due to how the packaging has changed. OnePlus used to be one of the modder-friendly systems. You could readily just download an image and change it. Then locked bootloaders. Then signed images. Then encoded images, and finally, OTA updates and nothing else. All within the last 4 years.

Only damn reason I bought a OnePlus in the first place. But, oh well, I'll always have my memories of a fully rooted phone that every piece of software bitched about but still ran.

There's some Graphene Motorola phones coming up, so the good news is, you can still stop Google from spying on you.
The bad news is they are Graphene Motorola phones, so the Chinese will be spying on you.

Which way, western men?

I have a Pixel 6a running Graphene OS. You can setup Google Play on Graphene OS. Graphene OS IIRC only works on Pixel phones because it has a certain set of security/feature requirements that are set on these devices.

i did but I think it keeps setting the interfaces wrong internally. Because it cant access it from the host machine.

No, that's correct. Access from the WAN side is blocked. You need to access it from a machine that uses the OpnSense's own subnet (the LAN side), not your router's subnet (where the hypervisor is in and which theOpnSense sees as WAN).

The OpnSense does its own NAT and can serve as a DHCP server. It's even preferable to do it that way because all devices will be automatically firewalled. I'd only exclude devices which do not need special protection and need to be always accessible, like a switch.

You even could define a third vNIC and make that a /30 subnet for the OpnSense which you'd use for accessing the configuration website via OPT1 interface.
 

New Debian Project Leader Elected For 2026​

Sruthi Chandran has been elected the new Debian Project Leader "DPL" after running unopposed in this year's elections.

Sruthi Chandran was the only candidate and then following the voting formalities for a quorum, she has now been elected the next DPL.

Andreas Tille's term is expiring tomorrow and chose not to seek another term as the Debian Project Leader.

Sruthi Chandran's platform page describes herself as a librarian turned Free Software enthusiast and Debian Developer. She has been involved with Ruby, JavaScript, Go, and font packages for Debian since 2016 while noting "not very active nowadays" with the packaging. She has also been a Community Team delegate, Outreach team member, and DebConf Committee member. Her hope is to help increase the diversity within Debian and to bring diversity issues for discussion.

Sruthi is now elected the next Debian Project Leader.

Platform for Sruthi Chandran​

Why am I contesting?

Concerned with the skewed gender ratios within the Free Software community (and Debian) I am working towards doing whatever I can to better the situation. How many times did we have a non-(cis)male candidate for DPL? If I am not wrong, when I contested in 2020, I was the second non-(cis)male DPL candidate till date. As with my last two rounds of contesting for DPL (2020 & 2021), this year too my primary goal of contesting is to bring the diversity issues for discussion. I believe I was successful in that at-least to a small extend in my previous rounds.

I am aware that Debian is doing things to increase diversity within Debian, but as we can see, it is not sufficient. I am sad that there are only two women Debian Developer from a large country like India. I believe diversity is not something to be discussed only within Debian-women or Debian-diversity. It should come up for discussion in each and every aspect of the project.

...

I feel that one effective way to encourage diverse people to contribute is to have more visibility for diversity already within the community. As more and more women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people who are already part of the project become more visible instead of staying hidden in some part of the project, more gender diverse people will feel comfortable joining our community. Geographic/ethnic diversity are also important areas which need attention.

does anyone have any recommendations for an arch based distribution thats light? i just want arch that comes with a gui installer because i dont trust myself to not overwrite the wrong disc through a terminal. im considering artix but i fear that its whole "systemd is le cringe" thing will cause me compatibility problems.

Just use the arch install script. It'll walk you through the whole process.

Not having SystemD means that any piece of software that assumes you have it won't work e.g. pulse and wireplumber that do desktop audio for most things will require starting when you start your ~/.xsession.

If you don't understand what I just said. Keep to SystemD for now.

PopOS is having a real identity crisis as of late it seems.

i would since i cannot find a single non bloated distro but i do not have access to an ethernet cord due to reasons and unless they have made it so you can easily use wifi to install i do not think it is an option

that does indeed sound like some bullshit, a shame since i always liked artix but i bet it would filter me.

I always tell people who want to move away from systemd "How much time have you spent dealing with systemd services." and if the answer is none (99% of the time) then moving to openrc will come with zero issues since Artix will have pretty much everything you need to use the system come with it out of the box. Just be sure to check if a application you're going to run has a service script in the repository as well since they separate it into their own respective init systems script, and at least with openrc, any time you install an script Artix will tell you exactly what you need to type to enable the service, outside the service name itself.

I think in my 4 years of running non systemd distros on and off i've only had to create 2 scripts for myself for jellyfin and more recently scx_loader.

Not true anymore, at least for OpenRC. The issue was that pipewire/pulse should never be ran as a admin, and alternative init systems didn't have support for user services till recently. Judging off of Artix repos dinit also has support for user services.

I am using sysv. I will have a look to see if there is something equivalent. I just use the old ~/.xsessionrc for now. It seems to work fine tbh.

yeah i think im just gonna go with eos, its what i was using before this and it has caused me some problems before but it does seem like the most lightweight way to get a gui installer for arch. i really want to hate endeavor os but whenever i actually think about it i cant find anything to hate.

i need to figure out how to make it work in virtu-manager so i can try to test it out before deployment. The network setup portion is giving me trouble.

Maybe disconnect the current drive, throw an old hard drive that you don't mind formatting in the box, and test that way? Or install to a thumb drive? OPNSense doesn't need much space, a 32gb drive would probably be plenty. One of those options would let you test without the added adventure of virtualization.

I do NOT recommend using archinstall. Download plain Arch but, along the way, a GUI for the partitioning like GParted. You could do this by installing a DE in the live environment of Arch. I’ve done this like, thrice now.

The best solution for Arch Linux users is to not use Arch Linux.
