do you think you’ll continue to use sysemd once it start embracing gov’t id requirements to use it?
i ask because i hold a similar position, but it’s adoption of the first step towards this end goal has me wondering if i should start looking for an alternative.
at this stage, a bigger case seems to be the right move for the future; what are the details of yours and how much?
that one brick and morter repair shop was selling an hp like this, but they refused to let me see it to confirm that it’s working.
also, the biggest take away for me here is that the case is the biggest restriction, so i’m now more amenable to larger cases.
all signs were pointing to computer repair places so i gave 10 of them a call yesterday and just came back from the only brick-and-morter location that there is in my area (the rest are run out of people’s spare bedrooms with little to no inventory and couldn’t accept visitors as a result).
funny enough, the only motherboard and case they had to sell was an lga1200 socket motherboard and a matching mini-itx case and at a better price compared to amazon and newegg; but they refused to prove that it was still working and insisted on their no returns policy nonetheless.
it seems that old laptops are the only path forward for me since they’re so plentiful on craigslist in my area.
Yes I am.
I think I’m run pfsense of a laptop since there are so many of them available second hand on Craigslist.
It’s also surprising that there are so few towers to sale second hand as well.
i hadn’t considered going w other motherboards nor aliexpress.
thank you for idea, i imagine i’m going to need it considering the severe lack of mini-itx lga 1200 socket motherboards there seems to be out there.
a government id requirement is the next logical step after its needful framework has been built as a result of the age verification laws that have already taken affect in the uk and california.
and because it’s a government law, it’s out of the systemd developer’s hands. linux is influenced heavily (if not outright controlled) by corporations like red hat who have to abide by the law if they want to continue operating and, in a likewise fashion, the systemd maintainers must also comport themselves if they want systemd to remain the dejour method that linux uses to initiate itself in those ecospheres.
