I’m already in a number of communities about beige nineties computers, thank you very much.
RCS can be encrypted, but it’s optional. The reason is that RCS was originally designed to be run by the network operators who are generally required to be able to log all the messages they handle.
Ten pictures of Feddit users reacting to clickbait headlines that will make you say “no, these are all trains. No, I’m complaining as such, I like trains, I just… I thought… No, the headline said something about… reactions, yeah, and ins- actually, hang on, how did you get in here?”
Fedi Punter in Media Lingo Rant Slam: Reaction
Says he’s starving… is literally called Walter Wiggles… are you the cat in the photo?
This is also a great money-saving tip if you’re preparing a meal that uses loads of boiled eggs and boiled potatoes and also are in an area where water costs a lot but not so much that you’ll stop boiling eggs and potatoes in it altogether but would see saving a panful of it as a benefit which, personally, I find highly relatable as I am currently trapped in a desert that has eggs and potatoes instead of sand and also please send help.
Hey. Heyhey. Heyheyhey. Have you ever noticed that your warships have giant barcodes on them? It’s so that when they return to port they can scan the navy in.
Honestly I’m loving my FP5. I liked my previous two handsets, but between locked bootloaders and lack of support after a few years they weren’t much use to me. I’m looking forward to a another eight years or so with this one, though.
+1 for Mumble. I set up a load of Android PoC devices with a Mumble server and it’s honestly like having walkie-talkies that work over the Intertubes.
Serious question:
Is it pronounced bour-joys-ee or bour-joys?
To add to this: you can install an open-source app called Shelter which will let you quickly set up a Work Profile for apps you want to keep isolated.
What a dick you are.
No-one is going to snatch your locked, trackable, account-associated, encrypted phone out of your hands. But a wallet full of cash and debit cards? A much better target.
You carry a bunch of random shit around with you? Well, some of us prefer to carry the utter minimal.
Phone crashes? What phone do you have that regularly crashes in this, the year of our Luigi 2024?
Network outage? That’s not how it works.
Dead battery? Anyone bothered by this has already got a solution.
Here’s the thing: I also don’t use my phone for payment much for same reasons as you, but I don’t feel the need act like a total cunt about it.
Well, now is your chance.
Go hunt. Kill skuls.
Y’see, I would have said “parrots ate 'em all”. It still works.
It may be worth looking into Meshtastic, especially if you know other hikers. €50 will get you a portable node with long range, long battery life, GPS location, mesh routing and no subscription.
No. Yes. Kind of.
My home setup is three ProLiant towers in a ProxMox cluster. One box handles all-the-time stuff like OpenWRT, file server, email, backups, and - crucially - Home Assistant and is UPS protected because of how important it’s jobs are. The other two are powered up based on energy costs; Home Assistant turns them on for the cheapest six hours of the day or when energy costs are negative and they perform intensive things like sailing the high seas, preemptive video transcoding, BOINC workloads and such. The other boxes in the photo are also on all the time basically being used as disk enclosures for the file server and they are full of mismatched hard disks that spend virtually all their time asleep. At rest the whole setup pulls about 35-40W.
