Corporate sponsorship in the FOSS community has always existed. It’s how many of your favorite projects have managed to stay alive and thrive, including kernel develop.

Your suspicion and fear is lacking sustenance.

What’s your point? Nix is meant for CI, but even still the defaults are set for multi-user operations.

Do you want explain a bit more?

Linux is Linux. If you’re using the standard install packages like Pam, then it’s built specifically for multiple users.

Elaborate more if you could.

Did you read the article and the laws pertaining to data seizure at the border? Crossing the border doesn’t constitue an investigation of ANY kind, and also doesn’t suddenly conjure up some sort of suspicion that a crime is in progress or has been committed, meaning no pretense for charges because PERSONAL DATA was not seized. Good lawd.

Again…you can SEARCH all you want. Whether you find anything is not mandated.

I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand about this.

It does not depend. 4th amendment is superceded by any state law, and it’s SUPER clear that unless a crime has been committed and prosecutorial procedures are in place, no search or seizure is legal.

That’s the whole point.

Yeah, you’re wrong in a number of different ways. No, you’re not a lawyer.

What you linked to is precedent par notice. Every single subordinate literally mentions notice.

A law enforcement officer of ANY type is not able able to issue that notice.

Perfectly legal. Unless they were legally charged and ordered by a court to preserve data considered to be used in a crime, they can’t be charged with shit. Cops don’t dictate this, courts do, AND that scope only applies to an active prosecution anyway.

Just post a picture of your beard and official Autism Certificate FFS.

Jesus fuck.

MAC is for your local network.

Hostname is not relevant because the endpoints you’re connecting to are not doing reverse lookups.

Your Public IP from your ISP is all they see. They’ve also blocked VPN endpoint IP address space.

They aren’t tracking you through software on your machine, just the global address space. Best you can do is see if your ISP has IP6 space you can be attached to, because they don’t have a good way to block that yet.

Huh? Is this a bot?

Okay, but what’s the output of uname -a, and does it match your lib modules directory version?

This is…confusing. Are you saying you’re in a LiveUSB environment while running this, or you’re inside a currently installed environment where this has previously worked?

Confirm the current live kernel when running this command matches the lib modules you’re pointing out here. This sounds like a mismatch issue.

Let me make sure you performed the Nvidia driver install in this order:

1. Uninstall clear any old drivers and modules
2. Install drivers
3. Blacklist nouveau driver to prevent race condition loading
4. Reboot machine
5. Run nvidia-smi to ensure everything loaded correctly

All of that sound about right?

What kernel and Nvidia driver versions are you on?

Also, just download any Live USB and see if you get the same suspend issues to test it out. Dmesg output would also be useful right after the problem happens.

You’re almost 3 years out from your Nvidia chip being supported by current drivers. Not an Nvidia fan, just letting you know.

There is no such thing in the way you’re imagining it. You can tune any distro to use as little power as possible, but there’s only so much you can do if the hardware platform you’re running isn’t very efficient.

What are you currently running?

You COULD use a casting client and server, but it’s probably much easier to just use the tablet as a Bluetooth target. Some phones/tablets just do this, but there’s also simple free apps out there that enable this as well.

“…resigned with my own key…”

That’s a “no” from me, dawg. This isnt a distro, this a later revision you could easily just target and run. I don’t think you know exactly what constitutes an entire distribution.
