We need a better storage solution than SD cards…
Doesn’t the steam deck have an upgradeable nvme drive? That would be a much better solution.

To be honest, SD cards are usually not meant for extending storage anyway. They should only ever be used for temporary storage like taking pictures and later transferring them to some other storage medium.
Look on eBay, there are oftentimes some from server farm providers like hetzner
Most likely, yes
I think CD is more or less at the end of its livecycle, most PCs sold today don’t even have a cd drive anymore.
Well, what is the alternative? Google? I don’t think that is a good trade.
Easier, yes. But some people will do stuff because it is more challenging.
You forget that a lot of brilliant open source projects are one man shows from geniuses somewhere around the world. They are usually not paid.
In the other hand, if you get your hands on a powerful botnet, you can rent out its services (like ddos for example) for quite a bit of money.
Unpopular opinion: what if it was not a state actor and just some bored person somewhere that thought it would be cool to own a bot net?
What if this is just one of many backdoors and it’s just the only one we found?
While of course Watchtower can be configured to not update and only notify there is also a nice, lightweight alternative out there that is built only for image update notifications: Diun.
I think he looked at it.
You don’t know what DNS is, do you?
Basically your device (for example your phone) needs to know the ip adress of any service it wants to connect to. As you may know these services usually use addresses like Lemmy.org or google.com or whatever.
To know what IP adres is behind these addresses, you device needs to ask a dns server, in a local network (like your own WiFi) this is usually your router, but you can set it to any arbitrary device you want. This way you can see what addresses are being asked for by your device.
So if the app want to send data to some server, it usually needs to resolve the adress first. And you can see that.
Sure. Look on aliexpress for “SD Raid” and you will find some for ~$15
