On their official website!
Arch and TempleOS being in the same sentence is pretty apt
Both are weirdly religious
apt
Somebody called the Debian users?
deleted by creator
&& sudo apt autoremove -y
No, it’s pacman. Debian is apt.
You should zypp it, I hate puns
Made me spit coffee lol
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.
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.
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.
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.
thou shalt not use any software written by that rude Finnish man
- God, apparently
The glowies want you to think it is Linux based
Terry was a Linux user btw. He used Ubuntu on his streams.
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.
K so what should I be doing instead
Just use mullvad
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.
Yea, i2p is slightly more involved than just starting up tor browser, but its not that bad. The real problem for this case is that it doesnt have exit nodes built into the protocol, so getting to the internet is a bit harder.
So, if I recall correctly, I had to set up a device as an i2p server (seems like they were super light weight and you could configure your phone to do it) and then you could use your browser of choice with the “i2p server” as a proxy.
Its my understanding that each of the “i2p servers” acted as both an entry point and an exit point. That is to say, while my traffic entered the network there, there were other people’s traffic that could be routed through and/or exit via my server.
Am I wrong on that assessment?
Yep, almost. Every* i2p node also acts as a relay, which not only helps the network, but also your anonymity, by drowning out your traffic. It however only does this inside the network, it doesnt work like an exit node.
By default, it does run a proxy, so that you can access i2p addresses using a browser set up to use it. It also lets you use the proxy to access the internet over i2p, but you have to choose an exit node manually (tho iirc there is one set up as default, which is fairly centralized, but still should be anonymous thanks for the rest of the network). A slight difference from Tor is also that these are protocol level proxies, so you will for example not be able to connect to a clearnet ssh server over these.
Interesting.
It looks I was close on my understanding, but not quite there. Lol, guess I’ll need to bust this back open.
It say TailOS, not Tails though.
I know, I don’t even know why I was on the site lol.
Kinda misphrased, I didn’t want to call out you specifically, I don’t think you’d be stupid enough to fall for VPN companies, that was more of a general statement to/about all linux users :3
Yeah
Hosting vpn in cloud is the way to go, I guess?
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.
It’s probably in the AUR. It’s just unsupported.
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.
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
Best I remember from the doc I watched, TempleOS doesn’t even have a network stack.
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.
Terry was protecting us from social media
It may not have a network, but what about a virtual network?
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
Make a list about which distro is included, not which not… Else you would have a never ending test process…
I can understand TailOS, as it works with TOR. TempleOS is a strange thing from the start, but Arch?
We must hold these sinners to account, this is the percicution that God warned us about! We must defend the Temple at all costs!
