                                                            I’ve been working on a native KDE client based on , and I’m happy to announce its release under the name .

                                                            The goal of this project is to provide a better Tor experience for KDE Plasma users with a client that fits naturally into the KDE ecosystem, without GNOME dependencies and with a focus on a more native, simple, and integrated experience.

                                                            In this release, several parts of Carburetor have been redesigned so Karburetor can run independently from GNOME. The settings, proxy management, and user interface have been adapted to better match KDE standards.

                                                            Karburetor now uses native KDE settings and integrates more smoothly with Plasma services. Proxy handling has also been improved, allowing Plasma and KDE applications to directly use the Tor connection.

                                                            New features include active Bridge detection, improved support for different Tor transports, and a more extensible architecture for future improvements.

                                                            P.S. Due to network limitations in Iran, Codeberg being censored, and GitLab being sanctioned, unfortunately the sources are temporarily hosted on Microsoft GitHub for now.

                                                            I may move the project to KDE Invent in the future if possible, after it becomes more stable.

Aby zapewnić prywatność i bezpieczeństwo naszych użytkowników, wdrożyliśmy system proxy, który anonimizuje dane użytkowników przed ich przetworzeniem przez API ASR. Oznacza to, że podczas gdy dane głosowe są wysyłane do OpenAI w celu transkrypcji, są one najpierw anonimizowane przez nasz serwer proxy, aby chronić Twoją tożsamość. Jedyne dane, które trafiają do OpenAI, to zanonimizowany materiał dźwiękowy niezbędny do procesu transkrypcji.

                                                                          What you're looking at is another unfortunate example of perfectly capable hardware becoming electronic waste long before its technical lifespan is over.

                                                                          This is the AirTies Air 4960, an AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 mesh extender/access point featuring impressive hardware:

                                                                          * Broadcom BCM6752 triple-core ARM Cortex-A7 SoC (up to 1.5 GHz)
                                                                          * Broadcom BCM43684 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 radio with 160 MHz channel support
                                                                          * Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
                                                                          * Two Gigabit Ethernet ports
                                                                          * Around 4.5 W power consumption

                                                                          From a technical perspective, this device is still more than capable of delivering excellent performance in many home and enterprise networking scenarios.

                                                                          - The Real Issue

                                                                          The hardware isn't obsolete, the software ecosystem is intentionally locked down.

                                                                          Many devices like this are heavily restricted by manufacturers or Internet Service Providers (ISPs), preventing owners from repurposing them once official support ends or the service contract expires.

                                                                          Meanwhile, open-source firmware projects such as OpenWrt, DD-WRT and Tomato have demonstrated for years that networking hardware can remain secure, functional, and useful far beyond its commercial lifecycle.

                                                                          Unfortunately, locked bootloaders, proprietary firmware, missing documentation, and closed-source drivers often make that impossible.

                                                                          Sustainability Is Also About Software Freedom

                                                                          We regularly discuss sustainability, circular economy, and reducing electronic waste.

                                                                          Yet perfectly functional networking equipment ends up in recycling bins, not because the hardware has failed, but because users are prevented from installing alternative software.

                                                                          * The hardware already exists.
                                                                          * The raw materials have already been mined.
                                                                          * The manufacturing energy has already been spent.

                                                                          In many cases, all that's missing is the freedom to install an alternative operating system.

                                                                          - A Better Approach

                                                                          I would like to see manufacturers embrace a more open ecosystem by providing:

                                                                          * Unlockable bootloaders
                                                                          * Public hardware documentation
                                                                          * Support or at least tolerance for open-source firmware
                                                                          * Longer software support lifecycles

                                                                          This would benefit users, enterprises, developers, the open-source community, and ultimately the environment.

                                                                          Not every retired device is obsolete, many are simply made obsolete through artificial restrictions.
