@pauliehedron @BrodieOnLinux I daily drive a #hp #t620 as a mini server, because in #Germany power is expensive af and I want something cheap (€30 used), quiet (fanless!) and having #amd64 durig the #PiShortage.

• And yes, it'll even run @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and @torproject / #Tor if you are patient with it ir chug in a 2nd 4GB RAM stick in it.

@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Exactly...

Coincidentially, that's why #Android (and #iOS) doesn't let users have #root access because billions of devices owned by mostly "#TechIlliterates" that hardly get #SecurityUpdates would be an even bigger risk if they didn't boot a locked-down #ROM image, thus only allowing for #malware in user-privilegued userspace!

• I'd even go so far that I'd wish for @torproject to basically merge fmr. #FirefoxOS / #KaiOS & @tails_live / @tails / #Tails to build a #privacy-focussed #ROM for #Smartphones and #Tablets i.e. "#TailsMobile" or sth.

Cuz having a mobile OS that shoves everything through #Tor and only allows #userspace-Apps in the form modern web technologies would be a big #security and #privacy gain.

• Not to mention #amd64 is on it's way out and inevitably they gotta have to transition to supporting #arm64 and eventually #RISCv-#64bit at some point.

@asmw uf yiu don't need #amd64 maybe there's some #arm64 board fir @frameworkcomputer ?

• Most of the "#magic" of #ARM is a shitload of patented power savings...

@vetgaming @linuxmint It's just a necessity, according to @fuchsiii, as it's just not feasible longterm to collect rarer-and-rarer #VintageComputing hardware and rely on non-enforcement of copyright on #Abandonware.

• Plus whilst #Valve isn't antragonistic to #Proton / #DXVK repackagings, not relying on them is kinda important, as this setup also helps with otger applications that ain't strictly games or in setups that one may not want to be on the internet.

It makes #TheSims and #FightingIsMagic just work on anything that is #amd64 and has enough resources to throw at it.
