The initial post is a somewhat incomprehensible rant but I think the objection is that any number of skeezy websites all have domains pointing to the same Cloudflare IP. So when a malware app opens a TLS connection to one of those domains, the shared IP doesn't tel you anything, and the ECH prevents you from seeing with Wireshark just whose home the malware is phoning. You have to resort to more drastic methods like intercepting DNS. Better yet, don't run malware.

Not sure what you mean? He didn't really care. Linux started out as a hobby project, and became usable at around the time that the GNU userspace was mostly sufficient for a full system, the Hurd kernel project bogged down from technical overreach (maybe still is), and BSD was bogged down by licensing snags (later fixed). The GNU project by then had somewhat quieted its naysayers by releasing some very impressive userspace code such as GCC and Emacs. Plus the X window system was a thing. So once there was a runnable complete GNU/Linux/X system, maybe it wasn't for everyone, but there weren't real doubts about its viability. I guess there was always more uptake in the server space though, and it's still like that.

Nextcloud might handle what you want. There are a zillion places that offer hosting for it, or you can self-host it. MediaWiki is another possible choice, that despite the name is more document oriented and less media oriented than NextCloud is. Again, you can self-host, or there are commercial hosts for it. Lots of VPS providers also offer one-click installers for it. I haven't run a MediaWiki instance myself, but am familiar with it as a user through editing Wikipedia. I've run Gitit, which has a similar UI, but is backed by a Git repo.

The temporary flight restrictions, which are set to last until Jan. 17, have been implemented beginning Wednesday in the following locations: Hamilton, Bridgewater, Cedar Grove, North Brunswick, Metuchen, Evesham, Camden, Gloucester City, Westampton, South Brunswick, Edison, Branchburg, Sewaren, Jersey City, Harrison, Elizabeth, Bayonne, Winslow, Burlington, Clifton, Hancocks Bridge and Kearny.

They left out Grover's Mill. It makes you wonder. Hmmmm.

This is a cute idea but I've generally been satisfied with the idea of using Gitit. That's a wiki backed by a git repo, so you can use normal git commands to propagate updates between servers. https://github.com/jgm/gitit or "apt install gitit".

What do you mean by cheap? What is your actual budget? I'm pretty happy with the Moto G Stylus but it's $250 which I'd call midrange I guess. I have the 2023 model but the 2024 one is the same price and has a few improvements. The lower end Moto G models seem like good value too. Just make sure to run a debloater or otherwise delete/disable all the preinstalled crapware. You can also get an older model Pixel fairly affordably and run GrapheneOS on it.

You can run Graphene on the Moto? I had thought Graphene was Pixel only.

Getting rid of that was part of an antitrust settlement in the 1990s. The lawsuit is about breaching the settlement terms.

Yes it's just a terrible idea. People do all sorts of dumb things though.

Don't put personal stuff on your work phone. Use your own phone for that. If you have trouble carrying both, hit the gym.

This sounds kind of bogus and there has already been some work on this topic. See for example the entropy distillation phase of Fortuna:
