btw Ava...

This came out not long ago ;)

It's a remaster so better graphics and some extra stuff maybe (?) - Also they have the soundtrack there but not sure if it's DRM free. Probably not :(

It's been remastered on Xbox. Definitely getting the Steam Engine when it comes out. Fortunately I have a one-to-one audiophile version of the soundtrack. ;)

I've been to that airport many times, and this description is new to me. Love it though—feels like things are on the upswing.

Readiness is a discipline.

Year's end is a natural checkpoint. Check your bug-in/bug-out kits and EDC.

Keep them maintained. Keep them stocked. Keep them ready.

Though I only started using GPT Plus 2 months ago (Claude has always been my go-to), my 2025 ChatGPT Wrapped is pretty spot on.

Apparently I'm already in the top 3% of messages sent, lol. Love that nostr:nprofile1qqsz9nr55u53zdecvenu7zj5z3hfu2ua5skjfft9t3lstqgrcy3n5uspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj70e7clz made an appearance—because of course she did!

Essential Qubes. Beautiful numbers—42, 18, 13.

Privacy and security through isolation and compartmentalization. 😎

#IKITAO #OPSEC #INFOSEC #QubesOS

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!

* laughs in lossless *

I didn't spend years engineering audio and buy a lifetime Roon subscription to listen to the JPEG'd version of the Mona Lisa.

We have the technology. Lossless exists. But sure, let's celebrate access to degraded copies of human creativity because "it's good enough."

I can still read a book with missing vowels too. That's not the point.

When you work in the studio, you don't unhear what compression kills—the reverb tail, the harmonics, the feel, the warmth, the breath between notes.

I've always been this way. Even as a kid with cassettes and VHS tapes - I'd make a 1:1 copy and play that copy until the wheels fell off, then dub another from the master. Never touched the original. Because every play, every rewind, every pause degrades the quality. Why would I destroy the source?

If you're listening on $20 earbuds, you won't hear the difference. But anyone who understands brick wall limiting and what the loudness wars did to dynamic range knows exactly why vinyl made a comeback. My library is full of 24-bit/192kHz for a reason.

So, yeah... I can relate. I know the difference between the painting and a JPEG photocopy. 😎

Native Americans and other indigenous peoples have asked this very same question for hundreds of years.

ty nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka for patiently explaining it to us 😅

yeah - my clients are already struggling keeping up with normal notifications and some of it gone missing (considering there are not a lot of them). I can only imagine with 100 lol 🤣

💯 Roya just posted that Primal is unusable because of it and peaced out. I stay as far away from them as I can. This one's is at least 400... and you are quite welcome. :)

Nothing yet. But have a look at the discussion and you'll see the idea that's on the table.

Homeboy misses the days when he could just kidnap, rape, and force a woman into servitude...
