QubesOS was built to give sandboxes kernel isolation via a hypervisor.

It’s not surprising that most people don’t know about it, because QubesOS as a daily driver can be painful. But with some improvements, I think it’s the right way to do it.

I believe current research says the root cause of homelessness is lack of affordable housing in a city. Drugs and mental illness are important, but still secondary factors.

Sudden death almost two years later, and Cerebral hemorrhage almost three years after vaccination does seem unrelated to the “medicine they took”.

I'm really curious, which language is better than Go in those regards?

Because I find Go is better than Javascript/Typescript, Java, Python, C++, C# on all of those.

Isn’t it the same threat model as Lastpass breach? Login credentials seem to be worth money, and crypto keys even more.

I worry a lot about password managers on mobile. Such as:

* if an app has a single developer (keepassium? strongbox?), how much money would it take them to add a back door? 1M USD? 10M USD? Let’s say they are exceptionally honest, and won’t take money. How about threats to their lives or families?

* if an app has a small number of engineers with commit access (bitwarden? 1paasword?) could any one of them be compromised by money or threats?

* Would password managers from Google/apple/microsoft fare better because they already face these risks and have controls? Or maybe not?

I know for a fact LBNL Software Developer 4 pays less than half the salary of other software companies.

Screw that.
