@BackYardIncendiary @ProdigalFrog If you have an old latitude, newer kernels also allow you to set min/max charging thresholds. My syncthing server (and NAS and a few other things) is an old 2013/2014 dell latitude e7240. It's not the original battery, but I do keep it in decent shape via charging thresholds.

@irmadlad @lambalicious I just manually do the audio captcha. Every time. Because the picture captchas often don't work correctly for me.

It does bug me a little that I don't know what the audio captcha is being used for - am I helping an amazon echo transcribe whatever it is surreptitiously listening to?

@possiblylinux127 @Tattorack I still stand by this other major difference, though: https://social.ridetrans.it/@Andres4NY/114671239145822442

@possiblylinux127 @Tattorack See also this table: https://discuss.techlore.tech/t/comparison-chart-of-grapheneos-divestos-and-calyxos/5618

A bit outdated since Divest is gone (😢), but a core difference is that Graphene prefers proprietary google stuff that is sandboxed and not given any privileges, while Calyx prefers free software versions that might have other issues (eg incomplete, or unsigned coming from third-party sources).

@TheButtonJustSpins @Wolfizen lol. I'm not the original poster, but my spouse and kids just use vlc.

(we do have kodi set up for TVs, but we don't use it very often. Mostly everyone watches stuff on laptops.)

@chronicledmonocle @Vinstaal0 I used to work for a dial-up ISP. Every IP is registered to an account, if you're going through your ISP (as opposed to, say, coffee shop or hotel wifi). Though the people who have the information are different (ICANN/registrar vs your internet provider), there's no anonymity in your home IP address even with CGNAT.

As far as your domain, you should have privacy protection enabled so people can't find your personal info via whois.

@exu @Wahots Yggdrasil, too.

@martinb @jerrimu I wrote the initial comment with the idea of saving just the username, but then figured "why not?" for the password. If the password is saved in browser memory (and based how I think the app functions, it would have to be), then it wouldn't be much different than saving a password in firefox's password manager (for example). Assuming reasonable crypto usage by the app, of course.

@jerrimu A usability suggestion, having just tried it out - save the username and room password in the export file to make it more like a traditional chat experience. So when you import the chat file, the username and password are pre-populated along with the room name.

@moonpiedumplings @jaggedcircle
I can't speak on behalf of the author, but I could imagine handling it by simply not decrypting everything on startup, and only decrypting an older chat if you click on it or attempt to run a search on everything. Although for a search, I would expect some kind of hashed (and of course encrypted) database that allows a quick search of all prior messages.

@moonpiedumplings @jaggedcircle I read your initial question as 1,000 active chat rooms (with some large number of users for each), which.. seems excessive. That's what I was referring to.

1,000 individual private 1-on-1 chats (or group chats with 2-3 users), if that's what you meant (and especially over a long period of time, with lots of inactive chats), seems like a more common scenario. If that was your question, I apologize.

@jerrimu @jaggedcircle lol!

I read this as a very diplomatic way of saying, "Why.. would you do that? Don't do that." 😏

@puppycat @JuryNow These days I always do the audio (accessibility for vision-impaired folks) captcha, because 1) fuck training self-driving cars, and 2) captchas have gotten harder and harder over time and it often takes me several attempts despite my vision being just fine.

@claralistensprechen5th @rejinl @ECEC She said 'street trees', which are have shown clear benefits to dense cities all over the world. They're incompatible with on-street parking, though.

@claralistensprechen5th @ECEC sigh

City streets are not specifically for cars. Freeways aren't even specifically for cars (buses, trucks), but city streets in particular are definitely not just for cars.

Tree roots are a solved problem. Lots of city master plans and similar documents have a list of trees allowed in the public right-of-way that have root systems compatible with sidewalks and roads. Some trees have roots that buckle concrete, others have roots that don't. Choose wisely.

@ECEC Good lord the number of replies here from people whose brains have been destroyed by "planners"...

1. Trees lower the urban heat island effect.
2. There's plenty of room for trees in dense places, so long as "density" means efficient housing and efficient transportation rather than parking lots and stroads and single-family homes.
3. Someone said "trees require maintenance", as if asphalt & pretty much everything doesn't require maintenance?
4. Trees harm cars. But cars harm cars too!

@claralistensprechen5th @ECEC Sounds like the problem is cars, not trees.

@sugarinyourtea @phoenixz Hi there! If you wouldn't mind indulging grampa for a minute - I'm a former php4 maintainer for Debian with a story.

One time we found a bug that caused the php interpreter to crash, based on the input passed to a function. We decided it was a security issue, but even that was kind of besides the point. We reported it upstream to the php folks. They (Rasmus!) told us it was not a high priority issue, because apache would simply restart when it crashes - no big deal

@leodavinci @poVoq @sxan I can't speak to iOS, but at least on android that's not a problem as long as you grant it the proper permissions.

@poVoq @sxan Also, I used to maintain a matrix client in Debian, as well as self-hosting synapse. I went back to XMPP.
