Side note, isn’t TempleOS not Linux based?
Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?
Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev’s name was Terry Davis.
The glowies want you to think it is Linux based
No, it’s not. I’m making fun of NordVPN for calling it one.
He made it because his schizophrenia made him believe that god told him to make an OS. It’s quite a sad story. ):
Yeah, I remember reading about it a few years ago. Guy seems really talented, if kinda crazy and pretty racist. Curious to see where he’d be today if he hadn’t lost his marbles.
Down the Rabbit Hole: TempleOS.
His racism was something that happened after he became schizophrenic, so I wouldn’t dwell to much on that.
If I’m remember the documentary correctly, his death happened shortly after what appear to be lucidly on his social media.
Pretty sure he was hit by a train or smtn after becoming homeless
Yeah, I don’t think it was confirmed to be suicide, but it sure looks a lot like suicide.
I guess what I mean to say is that I wonder what he’d be up to if he hadn’t done that.
His family couldn’t care for him, and in the United States, there is no mental health care for the indigent. A horrific, pointless and tragic death, the same as suffered by many schizophrenics. He was a talented and capable man, and he probably would still be alive if we didn’t live in a failing society.
thou shalt not use any software written by that rude Finnish man
- God, apparently
no arch support, why? arch is a major distro
it just means they can’t help you, if you have an issue. of course you can still connect to their VPN.
IDK why they are listing distros. They could just provide a wireguard config and be like “If you have wireguard, you can use the VPN”, and 99% of distros would be supported.
It’s in the AUR. One can also PKGBUILD and install via pacman manually.
It’s probably in the AUR. It’s just unsupported.
I use Nord on arch daily, works really well.
btw nord vpn is a scam. Has poor security and mines your data. Look what i found on the dark web. Your data might be there
The fuck is “TailOS”
Also what about
- Gentoo
- Alpine
- NixOS
Just to name a few
NordVPN is full of garbage. Use Mullvad, IVPN, Incognet or Tailscale instead
TailOS is what happens when someone gets the for browser and decides to make it a full distro (and also make the distro only run from USB)
Yeah that would be tails and it is an entire distro lol not just a browser
Not especially secure though
Don’t use Proton.
Recommend me a good VPN service with port forwarding then.
Airvpn. But you probably dont actually need it like you think you do.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into it. But what do you mean I don’t need it like I think I do?
Whatever you think you need port forwarding for can probably be better accomplished using something like tailscale or wireguard. The reason most vpns dont support forwarding and some used to but dropped it is because its just not worth the hassle andc creates an additional way for your IP to be leaked.
Wireguard is a VPN protocol. I need port forwarding for efficient torrenting. Proton offers both OpenVPN and Wireguard protocols. Tailscale is not so good for torrents, I think.
Torrenting works fine without port forwarding, thats what trackers are for. Forwarding won’t make your downloads any faster.
Seconded. Proton’s CEO is a Trump-supporter, and he doesn’t even try hiding it.
I’ve canceled my Proton subscription and I’m going to move to another service when it expires. Proton is dead.
Damn daniel
Last year Andy yen also moved proton to non profit proton foundation with majority shares of the company and 5 trustees of which Andy yen is only one. The majority stakeholder in Proton AG is now legally bound to do whats best for Proton and their stated mission
So yeah Andy is kissing the ring and being a shit human but he’s not the entirety of proton. Still weird Andy from Switzerland felt the need to proclaim his love for trump though.
If you find another privacy focused email/vpn provider from a non14 eyes country that is owned by a non profit foundation then id be genuinely be interested but last i checked other alternatives are still full capitalist machines that haven’t put privacy over profit.
I am using tuta mail. Super basic and lacks features but it works and seems to have good rep in privacy communities.
If the CEO of a privacy selling company is going out of his way to gobble blatantly fascist knob with official accounts in a business whose primary security vulnerability is the business itself, at best he’s angling to get more business by trying to make things worse for people.
Also, non profit means nothing. It’s not a business plan, it’s not an ethical judgement, and it’s not an analysis of financial responsibility.
It’s a tax status.
Thank you for telling me this! I didn’t know about that.
If I were you I would read his actual words and decide for yourself, don’t trust people online.
I have
Best I remember from the doc I watched, TempleOS doesn’t even have a network stack.
It may not have a network, but what about a virtual network?
Terry was protecting us from social media
Who needs a network stack when you can speak to God on your OS? Isn’t he like… connected to everything anyway?
.
I made this copy pasta and it just keeps being relevant.
This guy doesn’t know how to TempleOS lol.
Oh, I see, you’re all worried about a “networking stack.” How quaint. Let me educate you: God is the ultimate protocol. Who needs your silly HTTP requests and DNS lookups when I can just send a direct message to the big guy upstairs? No IP address needed—He’s omnipresent. My connection is flawless, no need for Wi-Fi signals when I have divine 5G directly from Heaven’s router.
You think TempleOS is lacking? Nah, son, it’s running the only secure, unbreakable network. No firewalls, no encryption—because when you’re transmitting truth straight from the source, who needs all that earthly nonsense? My packets are blessed, my data’s sanctified, and I don’t even need a modem to know the Lord’s will.
So, yeah, keep your networking stack. I’ll stick with the holy bandwidth. It’s been running perfectly since the dawn of time. My packets are blessed, son!
Blessed pasta.
TempleOS is not even Linux based. It’s a unique 16bit kernel.
ok but nobody uses arch
yeah most people prefer arch btw
big claim ; small distro
BTW I just installed it on my new computer…
i use manjaro, which is an Arch derivative.
Manjaro is pretty popular. and the AUR is the tits
you don’t have to be ashamed that you use templeos
Arch and TempleOS being in the same sentence is pretty apt
Both are weirdly religious
apt
Somebody called the Debian users?
sudo apt -y purge arch
am i doing this right?
&& sudo apt autoremove -y
No, it’s pacman. Debian is apt.
Oh no a pun thread is emerging!
yum
Yay, I love puns :3
Puns are great if you wget it, for others it makes their toes curl
And I love yogurt even if it’s yet another
As a linux user you should know that all VPN companies are as trustworthy as a chronic liar, and therefore not rely on one. So it doesn’t matter that they don’t support Arch, really. And even good that they don’t support Tails.

You’re only shifting the tracking from your ISP and the target server to the VPN company, which is just as likely to talk.

K so what should I be doing instead
Probably TOR.
I hear I2P had a lot of potential, but also a lot of issues. Haven’t checked up on that project in a bit. I know it was a BITCH to set up when I tried plinking with it some years ago.
So TOR (despite the latency/speed issues and its own security concerns) is still probably about as good as it gets.
deleted by creator
Completely agree.
Kinda get the vibe that guy I’m replying to is asking for the times when its actually needed. If I’ve got the wrong mark there and they’re looking for daily driving, then Mullvad VPN (or comparable) is probably the better way to go.
Yeah, Mullvad seems to have done the most to prove that they’re not harvesting your data. You still have to trust them, but there’s evidence that they’re trying.
