NovaCustomOn recommendation from a few people in the community, we made one.
NovaCustom now has its own RSS feed, available on our website.
Bradley M. KühnFinal chapter of my laptop water spill at #UnDoneCS:
The cool one-person repair shop in Luxembourg did a great job saving most of it, but the battery was hopeless. It's dead. #NovaCustom debugged with me but we were unable to conclude if it's safe to put a fresh battery — as there might be a short in the battery connector.
Since the water voided the warranty,
@novacustom kindly gave me a 5% discount to reorder.
The laptop I have now works fine as a desktop, as all functions but the battery.
B2FAll of your choises mentioned above are the RIGHT steps to opt-out from the data monsters!
Graphene is the best option, in 2027 Motorola will launch a new device compatible with GOS! Whilst you're stepping away by flashing GrapheneOS, you currently still need to buy a Google device, hence supporting satan!
If you like #IodeOS I want to recommend the SHIFTphone 8.1 designed by #novacustom I personally met the team at Fossdem and the device is really slick.

Did you recently rediscover how slow electro-mechanical HDDs are?
Do you now wait eons to compile?
Do you carry around some of the few remaining solid states worth their weight in precious gold?

#QubesOS (4.3 latest) #x230 vs. new generation of hardware #Tuxedo / #NovaCustom (#3mdeb) etc. @whonix
Recommendations:
* Kicksecure (RO) for default-mgmt-dvm & clockvm to protect salt functions like update > timedatectl show > qubes-prefs
* Development of highly isolated templates with tor transport an onion by default
* purge ALL lxqt! (xTerm works)
* If your wallpaper has someone else's name on it, then
certain somebodies shouldn't have gotten to Dom in the first place

Richard HughesA great discovery today: fwupd capsule updates using coreboot!

Introduction of fwupd support + Capsule Updates - NovaCustom
For easy installation of firmware updates. Firmware updates were unnecessarily complex for a long time. They required manual command line steps, were error-prone, and carried a real risk of “bricking.” In addition, updates often depended on specific BIOS settings. If something was wrong, an update could fail. This not only caused frustration for users, but ... Read more

To add to the conversation, Prusim is not walking a straight path what comes to custumor care but nothing major.
My 2 recommendations would be:
The #novacustom Shiftphone 8.1, they run on #IodeOS with harware removal options or physical killswitches.

With my #NovaCustom I now have the most diskspace that I've ever had in 2 pieces in my life (2x 4TB). B/c the computer remains usable under heavy load (as long as I don't mind the fan at max & the old-school crunch of spinning disks), I'm consolidating a stack of old hard drives.
Welp, I filled 4TB overnight. I cleared about 200GB, but df still says this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/md1_crypt 3.6T 3.5T 0 100% /spare
Rounding error for big disks?
When other companies #Google #Microsoft leave their ethics & morals at the door for greed and power, #novacustom picks up the mantle and shows you how its done!
Keep doing what your doing 🏆🏅
Don't be evil!
@neal Ugh, everything is compatible and nothing is. I have returned more peripheral related hardware than I've kept since getting the #NovaCustom laptop.
