I don't have a specific answer, but you could also look for tools that schedule reboots. If I remember correctly, a fresh boot has the same effects as lockdown mode. Fingerprint is not accepted, and the device contents remain encrypted until you unlock the first time.

As others have said, debian is very minimal, so If you would prefer to setup and configure the whole system yourself, debian is a good choice.

Personally, I prefer fedora server. It comes with more things configured out of the box (zram and sysctl configs for example) as well as better security defaults (selinux included with proper policies) and first class support for container infrastructure. Ultimately you could achieve a similar end result with debian, but for my homeservers I prefer to let the fedora team handle most of the system configuration for me.

I don't know of an OS or distro dedicated to this, but it should be pretty easy using cage-kiosk, a window manager that only allows for a single window, and cog, a very basic web app container.

Install cage and cog on whatever distro you want, setup autologin, then in your ~/.profile add something like

cage -- /usr/bin/cog https://example.com

It should boot directly to the webpage at that point. Make sure to set up ssh before you do all this! System management might get tricky if you dont

Android browsers can provide what are called "Custom Tab Intents", meaning that other apps can request to open web pages in a webview-like custom tab. This depends on browser support, with WebView being the fallback when your default browser does not support it.

Should note that Immich doesn't have content provider support on Android, so you still need another gallery app to act as a file picker to select images in other apps. Other than that, I love it

Bromite was my go-to browser, but it's dead. No updates since December, no active development, and not responses from the dev. If you want to use bromite, one of the contributors had keeping the patches up to date. You can find the releases on this GitHub repo

We all had laptops in highschool, and apparently our IT admin couldn't figure out how to disable the "Upgrade to windows 10 for free!" Popup everyone was getting. Anyone that upgraded to windows 10 got called down to IT had their laptop reimaged. When I heard about it, I figured that they must have been checking OS by our user agent or some other web-based method, as upgrading to windows 10 appeared to kill all of the group policy things. Assuming they had everyone's mac address recorded, you could correlate laptop to user pretty easily.

From then on, every week I would USB boot a different OS. Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, Windows 10, Windows XP, etc. I would run each OS for a few days until I got called down to IT, had my laptop inspected, and sent back to class when everything checked out. Drove them nuts, I thought it was funny.

Searxng is a meta search engine, how is that relevant to a large language model?

I use koboldcpp with the vicuna model. Reasonably fast generation (<1 minute) on a 4th gen i7, would probably be on par with chatgpt in terms of speed if you used a GPU.

FACT: 100% of people that consume Dihydrogen Monoxide die.

Just type the instance url (excluding any https:// prefix) directly into the instance box when you're logging in.

Personally I use LibreTube, which is an Android frontend for the Piped API, an anonymous YouTube interface and proxy. I self host Piped, so it's nice to have an app that integrates on mobile. Personally, I think LibreTube looks a lot nicer than newpipe, buy new pipe has more functionality iirc
