  • I think organizations working around sensitive installations could be interested.

    For example the car used to drive around nuclear powerplants, military installations or just industrial equipment. Modern cars have GPS and cameras and you don’t want to have random cameras recording around sensitive installations.

    They could remove the cameras but then the car would not be road legal anymore.

    A Linux based head unit would allow them to customize it to the level of security they require while still retaining the benefit of modern cars.

    It’s a niche but a niche that have the means to infest a lot in development









  • Personal disaster as well.

    If something happens to me and I am incapacitated, or worse, my wife or my brother can request access to my vault and without any action in my side for a week they will have access to my vault. (Emergency access feature in bitwarden)

    So it does not add the stress of needing to call ALL the utility companies, bank, school … To reset passwords or request emergency access.

    I saw that first hand with my brother in law who had an accident and went into a coma. We were lucky that his computer wasn’t locked and all his password accessible on it.





  • I love nixos, it’s been my daily driver for the last 3 years for work and home.

    A more accurate metaphor would be:

    • When modding the car, with a arch, Debian of most other distros you actually mod the car. If you want to change the seats you physically install new seats.
    • With nixos you don’t intervene directly on the car, you change the blueprint of the car and let the robot reassemble the car according to the blueprint.
