ICYMI: The Report of My Death Was an Exaggeration
๐ก If your company uses FreeBSD, weโd love to hear from you. Even if your story canโt be shared publicly, we still want to know whatโs workingโand where support is needed. These conversations help us better connect the dots between community, hardware vendors, and industry needs.

SecureDrop Workstation 1.3.0 has been released! This version allows users to import credentials during setup, and updates the Fedora base template to version 42, which re-enables SELinux.

What is RAG and Why Does It Matter? ๐
RAG stands for Retrieval-Augmented Generation. It's an AI framework that improves how large language models (LLMs) answer questions, especially when the data is unclear or complex. RAG works by pulling relevant information from a trusted knowledge base and feeding it into the LLM, boosting both accuracy and efficiency.
๐ค Curious how companies are using RAG to enhance AI? Check it out: https://opensearch.org/blog/using-opensearch-for-retrieval-augmented-generation-rag/

As you can see in this photograph a level of stability has been reached in the installation and configuration of this 64bit SBC.
The configuration that was chosen by the maintainers of the Pi distro is one, where Super User needs to be run at any time, for root commands, because access to the root account has been disabled by default.
Security wise the SBC is fair provided that you do not allow others to get close to it in a physical plane.
I already have two installations one is on a microSD card the other is on a USB stick
It is important to realize that when you boot from the USB stick your USB-C power supply needs to be able to produce 5,000 milliamps, at 5V DC otherwise there will not be enough current for that control to be smooth.
Note:
The second display that you see does not belong to the control of the Raspberry Pi.
I need to get myself a second longer microHDMI to HDMI cable to reach the other IPS LED panel

This is a screencap of my Raspberry Pi in action running from a microSD card.
Firefox runs quite good on the SBC

๐ Thanks to Scharon Harding from @arstechnica for the great review!
โMurenaโs Pixel Tablet, while not perfect, proves that a privacy-forward tablet doesnโt have to come with trade-offs. Devices like this make privacy a competitive advantage that other companies should emulate.โ
Ps.: Stay tuned for more great news!
