I use Signal but I keep signal use to personal IRL contacts. I don't use Matrix as much anymore but if you have a matrix room I'd join in. I'm on the more advanced side of the privacy lifestyle so my communications are highly compartmentalized. Simplex is a bit clunky still but for smaller communities it's not terrible.

Do you have plans to make a Simplex group soon? You mentioned on the pod it's where you two first met. Would love to chat and Simplex is the most private option imo.

I'd be curious to see this symbol replacing the hand in the previous thread's eye and palm.

I'm leaning towards a Samsung A7 flashed with LineageOS and I may try to use FullyKiosk again. I just really hate the idea of using an Amazon or Google OS. I would build a raspberry pi / touchscreen system if I had the time.

How important is the battery concern? I've read it's an overblown worry for modern tablets.

This is what I would do if I had the time to spare. I'm surprised there isn't a market for custom Homeassistant tablet devices.

From what I could find, similar to iOS, you need some type of external management device to set this up.

For me his skyrim video back in the day had me crying. But I'm sure if I watched it now it wouldn't be as magical.

Yes, it will count towards your bandwidth.

I typically don't get anywhere close to this though.

The few times I did were due to initiating large backups between devices, upwards of 2TB. But I've since moved my backup system to a mesh network and haven't hit bandwidth overages since.

I recommend it every time this question pops up and I'm surprised more people aren't privy to it:

Rent a VPS as your public gateway. Connect the VPS to your server with a simple wireguard tunnel.

The only thing on the VPS should be a reverse proxy with SSL/TLS pass through.

Send the traffic at the VPS reverse proxy to a reverse proxy on the main server. Configure this proxy to use letsencrypt certs.

The benefit and importance of the SSL pass through reverse proxy, is that it allows all data in transit to remain encrypted until it reaches your physical server. Traditionally, most would suggest the one and only reverse proxy exist on the VPS but all traffic would then be decrypted on the VPS. This could obviously compromise your traffic if the VPS provider snoops or your VPS is compromised.

Cloudflare tunnels decrypt on their hardware as well, which is why I always recommend avoiding their services.

Backblaze deleted my project drive for a multimillion dollar project I was archiving through their desktop sync. It's largely my fault for not noticing the drive had failed when considering their upfront policy about them deleting your backups after a month of inactivity. Luckily it didn't have too big of an impact because the most important files were backed up elsewhere. I do wish their desktop app had better warnings about imminent deletions though.

That's what I was hoping to do but it's really difficult on Fedora for some reason.

Arch and Ubuntu you can specify the driver version, but the Fedora method is dnf install akmod-nvidia with no other available options (unless you want legacy drivers for really old hardware).

To my further frustration, any amount of searching just leads to a ton of AI generated slop articles.

I finally got around to installing this app but it requires an account. Is this a recent requirement?

I can't remember any time in the last 2 years before I deleted my reddit account where a post I made didn't get auto-moderated.

This looks promising. At that price I might as well try it out. Thanks.

This is exactly what I was thinking. A bit out of my budget though.

This is encouraging. Thank you.

My bad. Its been a while, but Thunderbird at one point. If I remember right there was an update relatively recently that made it much more difficult to import offline emails, so if you find a better alternative let me know.

I should re-iterate I download the emails to use in an offline client. Their service doesn't support third party clients to receive and send email.

When I do taxes, I need to search thousands of emails for receipts and the tuta apps make this impossible. This is my workaround.

I've used Tuta for years, paid account with multiple custom domains.

I prefer them for their principles, but their clients are extremely frustrating. Emails load very slowly and their email search is basically unusable.

I've resorted to downloading old emails and using other clients to import and search through them. I really wish they would improve their email search.

I really like CMT Orange blades. I had a 2 year old blade that seemed to have a defect in the finish and when I contacted them, they immediately asked for my address to send a replacement blade.
