Save this note.

Over the next 10 years, keep a close eye on Spain, as you will witness the greatest degeneration of a country in the West.

- Uncontrolled immigration and replacement of the local population.

- Unsustainable pensions.

- Draconian taxes.

- Non-existent public services.

- Political corruption.

In short, the fall of a country.

Many will think that France is the same, but there is a difference: French citizens stand up to their government, while we Spaniards do not.

Italy is more or less exactly the same if not worse…

Because the access point has to be closer in mmWave. The distance is not up to scale in the simulation.

Correct! Good point! I assumed that the distances were comparable… so in the end it is not clear what is safer for humans…

Replying to

Juraj

No, I did not say that. I've only said they mmWave are usually closer to you and do beamforming, but mmWave is not used much outside of very concentrated areas.

BTW 5G often uses the same frequencies as 4G, they mainly added the 3.5GHz, most of the other frequencies are rarely used (where I'm at at least). 3.5 is between two wifi (2.4 and 5GHz).

Thank you, understood… I asked it because power-wise, all three power indicators are lower with 5G MMWAVE than with 4G…

Replying to

Juraj

Should you keep WiFi access point as far as possible, or is your intuition about non-ionizing radiation completely wrong?

So based on your study… if you have to use cellular connection, 5G is safer than 4G? Am I correct? Have you also taken into consideration the difference in wave length between the two?

Thank you! I will probably give it another try soon! 🤙

Just finished an in-place upgrade to Qubes OS 4.3.0 and overall—this release is fantastic. Everything feels tighter, cleaner, and more refined. Huge props to the Qubes team.

One important cleanup caveat from the upgrade process that’s easy to miss.

Before running the full dom0 upgrade, I upgraded all my templates first (Fedora 41 → 42, Debian 12 → 13). After everything completed, I went to clean up and delete the old fedora-41-xfce template. Even though all AppVMs and child templates had already been migrated, Qubes refused to let me delete it, saying it was still in use.

So I dug in.

From dom0, I ran:

qvm-ls | grep dvm

That’s when I found the issue—default-mgmt-dvm was still using fedora-41-xfce as its template.

What’s worth calling out here is that everything looked fine in the GUI. I had already switched templates over, checked Qube Manager, and nothing obvious was flagging Fedora 41 as still being in use. The dependency that was blocking deletion didn’t really surface until I checked it directly from the dom0 command line.

I confirmed it with:

qvm-prefs default-mgmt-dvm template

Sure enough, it was still pointing at Fedora 41—despite everything else being migrated.

The fix was straightforward and in dom0:

qvm-prefs default-mgmt-dvm template fedora-42-xfce

After that, I rebooted (important), then rechecked:

qvm-ls | grep dvm

qvm-ls | egrep 'fedora-41|debian-12'

Everything was clean.

At that point, the old Fedora 41 and Debian 12 templates deleted without any issues.

Final sanity checks:

cat /etc/qubes-release

qvm-check --all

Fully on Qubes OS 4.3.0, no dangling dependencies, no hidden blockers.

Not a bug—just a very Qubes-specific edge case that’s easy to miss if you don’t explicitly inspect DVM template bindings from dom0.

Hope this helps someone else avoid a “why the hell won’t this old template delete?” moment.

And yeah—dear god, this upgrade is glorious. Absolute banger of a release.

On to the Whonix 17 → 18 upgrade now, then she's ready to rock!

I used Qubes in the past but not as daily driver… just out of curiosity… which laptop model are you using for Qubes? Thank you for your feedback! 🫂

Hi nostr:nprofile1qqsvnx99ww0sfall7gpv2jtz4ftc9v6wevgdd7g4hh7awkpfvwlezugpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakq20hzsk team,

First off, thank you for building such a privacy-focused platform—it's really appreciated. 🫂

I wanted to ask if there's currently a way to reduce or disable image compression when sending photos. On my Android, I’ve found that I can send higher-quality images by sending them as files—though this has to be done one by one. However, I’d really like the ability to send multiple photos at once without heavy compression, ideally through the regular photo-sending method.

On my iPhone, sending as a file doesn’t seem to be available at all.

The compression is so strong that you can’t even make out a person’s face in a photo.

Is there any current or planned feature that could help with this? Even a toggle to choose compression level when sending media would be a huge help.

Thanks again for all your work! 💜
