Russia attacks Ukrainian power grid on a weekly basis. Not only with cyber-attacks but with actual bombs. Over Christmas 750k homes in Kyiv were without power or heating. This is not a hypothetical it's daily reality for millions of people in Ukraine.

How has the S&P 7 evolved over the past decades? Is it the most concentrated ever? Or did we have these levels of concentration before?

Framework outsources their BIOS to Insyde who are a terrible OEM.

https://novacustom.com is a manufacturer that does do their own firmware and BIOS and gives you full control over all these settings

This is not a Linux issue (Though the hibernate issues are!). It's a PC issue. Microsoft went on a crusade making hardware vendors implement S0 next to S3 but most hardware vendors now _only_ implement S0. So that the laptop can keep phoning home and download updates etc whilst closed. Which means it's impossible to turn off the CPU during suspend. it's always on.

PC as a laptop platform is a complete joke.

I think adding `golang.org/x/crypto` as a second dependency is fine. It's basically stdlib at this point (though slightly less stability guarantees).

AWS sets CAA records for their domains and thus you can’t issue certs for them

They’re pulling it in as a dependency. it’s not a fork.

As soon as you run cargo build the source code will be fetched including the original license. That’s better than a settings menu with just a license!

Useful context is that they completely redid the app from scratch in 2023 using a contractor instead of in house developers and the launch was not very smooth
