These look like zinnias, but I could be wrong

Just load them with openwrt and enjoy

Don’t three rights make a left?

woosh

Aren’t there laws in place about consent and recording phone calls specifically?

Indifference can cause more harm than hate, just food for thought

Why is it so hard for some people to just say “ok” and move on because it’s important to the other person. ESPECIALLY if to l"it’s no big deal" then just do it and see how much more your NB and trans friends feel comfortable

Both my partner and I use “dude” interchangeably for all genders. They’re NB for context

Sorry to break it to you bruh, but if Facebook owns the IP, they’re harvesting and monetizing the account data, end of.

This includes all of the subsidiaries like Instagram and WhatsApp as well.

Let’s also not forget that illegal activity exposes user data in addition to greed, and just the fact that your data is in yet another pot increases your risk. Also yes all corporations are greedy and evil but they’re definitely not all equal in how bad they are, and FB is one of the worst

Are you willing to compromise on all of these intrusions into your life? Many people are, but I’m not one.

Certainly! I’m not sure when I’ll get around to actually doing it, but my intent was to create an emergency boot drive to send to my elderly family members that they could plug in if the system ever started acting up, and I’ll build it in such a way that it’ll be able to be booted as a Linux live USB, and also have a Windows partition for any tools that I might need for remote access and in-system diagnostics.

I’ve built a few scripts for the Linux bootable but I can’t seem to remember where I stored that particular repo at the moment, so I’ll share later.

Some of my stuff is up on my GitHub (same username)

Thanks a ton for all the advice! 👍🏼

This sounds like a perfectly workable solution!

I assume getting a persistent environment in a USB recovery stick is a bigger task? I’m imagining that, with your method, I would need to repeat this process any time I wanted to update the image or load specific new kernel modules/drivers?

Customizing a base distro sounds like a good place to start 👍🏽

Hijacking for my own idea: what if I wanted to make my own updated version of say, hiren’s Linux environment that included tools for data recovery and drive administration among other things. I would love to basically build my own custom recovery environment preloaded with all my favorite tools.

Tbf, with a few hours of googling, I could probably figure this out for myself so don’t go through a bunch of trouble unless you want to document for others. I’m mainly posting because I saw OP and wondered if something easy already existed?

Think you might be a little lost my friend…
