Memes about Qubes OS

the concept of moderation kinda sucks

The thing speaks for itself

Sometimes, instead of opening a new tab, I spin up a fresh VM.

I don’t like this meme because it can mislead users into thinking Snowden still endorses/uses Qubes OS.
The only time he has endorsed qubes os was a decade ago in 2016. And in tech, that’s like 100 years.
I wonder what OS he’s using now. Is it still Qubes OS? I understand why he keeps quiet about it.

Is it only black and white, or can color be used as well?

What is the current status of the ZRAM project?

These are still a thing it seems

Quote: “These laptops has been modified to be the ultimate security and privacy laptop. Harmful backdoors that government agencies have enforced laptop makers provide have been neutralised. Such vulnerabilities are often exploited by state-sponsored hackers and foreign adversaries to extract valuable information or destroy the devices of important individuals. Governments are looking to enforce control over our digital lives, but devices such as these are immune.”

TOTALLY IMMUNE AGAINST HACKING 1!!1!!!1!!!ELEVEN!!! xD

While being EOL and permanently vulnerable to Spectre v2, exactly the kind of attack vector available to governments and state actors:

# WARNING: This system remains perpetually vulnerable to Spectre v2 (CVE-2017-5715). Mitigations and microcode updates previously applied are now known to be ineffective due to QSB-107 and related CVEs. If Spectre v2 is a concern in your threat model, consider migrating to a platform with ongoing microcode support. Proper OPSEC for Memory Use MUST be followed:https://www.anarsec.guide/posts/qubes/#appendix-opsec-for-memory-use
# Configuration for a W530 running Qubes and other Linux Based OSes (through kexec)
#
# Includes 
# - Deactivated+neutered ME and expanded consequent IFD BIOS regions 
# - Forged 00:DE:AD:C0:FF:EE MAC address  (if not extracting gbe.bin from backup with blobs/xx30/extract.sh)
#   - Note that this MAC address can be modified under build/coreboot-VER/util/bincfg/gbe-82579LM.set
#
# - Includes Nitrokey/Librem Key HOTP Security dongle remote attestation (in addition to TOTP remote attestation through Qr Code)
# This board ignores the in-built dGPU that comes with all w530's. In doing so the dGPU will not be initialized. This has some benefits in terms of reduced complexity in working with OS's with poor support for NVIDIA, better battery life and lower heat (making use of the thicker heatsink from a dGPU). Conversely, if you do not initialize the dGPU you will be unable to use an external monitor. To initialize the dGPU please use the dGPU boards that corresponds with the model of dGPU included with your device.

In my experience ZRAM works well, though you have to install it yourself for now. It may drop as a default in F44.

kuhbs · July 9, 2026, 7:36am

As this is the meme thread: you can also just download more RAM.

I think he have been banned from any kind of electronics… or computers only

I’ll be honest. I see a lot of meHmeHs, but I always keep coming back to find one that’d make me laugh.
