Debian has a page of resources available over tor. https://onion.debian.org/
Which includes the archive (ftp.debian.org) http://2s4yqjx5ul6okpp3f2gaunr2syex5jgbfpfvhxxbbjwnrsvbk5v3qbid.onion/
Maybe save a copy of onion.debian.org?
When Linux becomes illegal, only outlaws will run Linux.
When Linux becomes illegal the internet ceases to exist. Show me 1 Windows or Mac powered network switch, router, edge firewall you’ve ever known. I’ll wait
oh they’ll put a clause that allows for that, but only if it’s made in America and has a locked down bootloader…
Just realized that would mean FLOCK dies. -several thousand downsides, but that- THAT would be an upside.
You assume Flock was ever legal in the first place
National security concerns 😊
Laws are for the poor, they don’t apply to the rich.
Also, Android and Chrome OS are Linux distros.
Aren’t they mostly based on some sort of BSD (at least the smaller ones)? Would probably still not be legal in that scenario but I gotta be pedantic…
Oh they don’t want to ban linux. Just make you verify ID on OS level.
Big server hosts can do that on linux too.
Come join my outlaw gang. We have pie.
Pi. Raspberry pi.
My raspberry pi is a wifi hotspot. Its SSID is CreamPi
I will make the raspberry pie.
The only way to stop a bad guy with Linux is with a good guy with Linux
I am curious how they will ask for ID for each IOT devices ? Does a ring 0 micro linux need an ID before loading th OS ?
Finally torrenting linux ISO’s will no longer work as an euphemism for pirating.
Torrenting “LLM training data”
I seed so Gen Ai can reach AGI sooner! /s
Governments can’t even effectively tackle drugs, illegal weapons or CSAM. Gl making something as distributed as linux illegal.
Fuck em.
Thats the spirit.
Just sounds like they want to force you to have operating systems that monitor you at every turn.
Explicitly yes. With a side bonus that their donors are enriched.
Palantir is hungry.
When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty!
At least in the US there’s precedent that source code is protected speech, so we may see the year of the Gentoo desktop.
Compiled code ought to be too then tbh.
sigh LinuxFromScratch desktop evenually? See yall on the other side guys, good luck to us all (we’ll need it TT)
Dude can you all stop with this nonsense, all servers are run on linux, they will never be illegal!

The laws generally apply to devices that connect to the internet and run an OS, excluding simple appliances or legacy offline systems. Smartphones and Tablets: (iOS, Android) Personal Computers: (Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux distributions with GUIs that connect to the internet)
Means just use Linux without GUI and you have a bypass smh 🙂🙂👍👍
W3m ftw
Would be very funny if we manage to eliminate Linux OS distributions on the internet before we eliminate CSAM on the internet.
I’m not holding my breath on either.
The CSAM guys are the very ones attacking Linux.
Fuck 'em.
If I can touch it, I can own it.
Sounds like we should cause a bit of mayhem prior to that point 😈
Hell, if only they made Linux open source so that we could change anything we didn’t like about the age verification stuff.
And be denied access to services
If a service requires it they are not worth using.
“When I go to [do normal, totally uncontroversial thing]… and [nonsensical catastrophe that I made up in my head happens].”
There are a lot of bills that threaten privacy and could, if taken to a logical conclusion, result in the criminalizaion of open-source operating systems. This isn’t as nonsensical as it was ten years ago. I think it’s still very unlikely, but it’s been moved into the realm of “reasonable possibility.”
Jokes on them. I’m a pirate who likes Linux.
Arrgh! Me matey! It’s off to Antarctica with us, then! Penguins ho!
