Taking a look at numbers in binary reveals some interesting patterns. Although seems obvious, it was interesting to me when I realized that all prime numbers except 2 end with 1.

Powered by ESP32, which reportedly uses archaic 40nm technology. Aren't there some good ARM microprocessors built with 5nm technology, which would consume comparable power?

What about the inner borders? Often times "illegal" (not authorized being in the country) aliens come from the inner borders, which can not be effectively controlled as per Schengen.

During the 2015 migrant crisis, did not refugees end up traveling to Germany while first entering Greece and Italy? If Dublin regulation really applied, Germany would not need to take the responsibility of the majority of the asylum seekers. At the same time, that only concerns for the asylum seekers and not the unregistered aliens.

> In many ways it actually preserves local (and also regional) cultures

That really conflicts with the "Freedom of movement for workers".

Cultures can not be preserved if people freely move between regions.

What if the developer passed away? It is also easy to blame the developer with mental issues otherwise.

What is the possibility of identity theft that is commenced on state-level? There are reports that the time the backdoor was pushed do not match the usual timing of changes committed by the author.

It also seems like a convenient ground for a false flag operation: hijacking an account that belong to a trustworthy developer from another country.

New comment by fuzunoglu in "Notes on EndeavourOS"

Instead of EndeavourOS, I would rather use the archinstall script which comes by default. Archinstall provides an installation experience as easy as what EndeavourOS provides. On top of that, it makes it possible to do additional tweaks. For example, if I remember correctly, it was not possible to adjust compression flags of btrfs subvolumes with the GUI installation environment.
