They said bcachefs; I don't think BTRFS has it, at least not since I last checked.

Just going to ask this just in case: have you tried doing a full update and reboot? If you updated and have not rebooted, sometimes drivers get messed up.

The link they use is working for me; what is the code you are using to fetch the data?

Also, dbg!() is a very useful macro for inspecting state. Might help see what is going on.

That link seems broken (the date is wrong). This worked for me:

Exactly; the idea is familiarity, not efficiency. To be fair, this argument doesn't make sense for all situations, so it is possible I misunderstood what the original post was talking about specifically.

Just listing some things that I needed to do for working remotely on a personal device: have an antivirus installed, make sure Windows firewall is enabled, enable automatic updates, screensaver or lockscreen configured for 15 minutes of inactivity, and use a strong password (and a good password manager).

However, you can configure GRUB to use an encrypted boot partition, and even have detached encryption headers. It does take a bit more work, and you should make sure you know what you are doing. (e.g. losing a detached header basically means your data is all lost)

Regarding exit nodes, I have heard that Veilid does not distinguish normal nodes from exit nodes, meaning any node can be an exit node. However, I did not see this in their presentation, and the system seems to be more focused on peer-to-peer communication within the network than private accessing of outside web sources.

Thanks for the offer, but if I have to solder, I would rather do it myself. Might be able to find someone at my college that I can borrow an iron from.

For my (admittedly nonprofessional) use cases, I have found nothing that Krita, Gimp, or Inkscape could not handle. Honestly, I think the UI is equal or better as well.

Was looking for a furry one, and pawb.social seemed to be well-run (since it was related to a couple of decently-sized Mastodon servers) and was generic enough (and not NSFW focused). There also seemed to be a decent number of technical people there as well (in fact, one of the Mastodon instances is furry.engineer), so it matched up with my other interests as well. I considered lemmyrs.org, but ended up not choosing it.
