Shouldn't this somewhat alleviate the concerns of some of the people who think that signal is compromised by the CIA and US government?

Musk effectively has unlimited access in the government now. If there was a backdoor that could be used to decrypt messages and find and target people because it is tied to a phone number, why would muskrat want to ban it? He isn't looking to man WhatsApp.

Must.... Consoooooom

I think the call is coming from inside the house and they should be focused on the open air hacking being performed in certain US government teenagers at the moment....

That is a different spin than the original comment, which is why I made that commen.

https://docs.getaurora.dev/ https://docs.projectbluefin.io/ aurora has one small page of documentation total unless you click on the logo which suddenly opens a hidden unlabeled drawer with sparse docs. Bluefin has even less. I consider this near-zero documentation. So how would OP's non-techy girlfriend (or someone who has only heard of aurora and bluefin from this thread) know to go to bazzite, a completely different project to most people, to debug their completely different OS? Because googling "ublue aurora flatpak won't install" literally gives this page: https://docs.getaurora.dev/guides/software/ which is literally almost useless.

Bazzite's documentation has gotten way better since I installed it (they had almost nothing on rpmostree commands when I did), but I don't believe everything in the documentation for bazzite applies the same to aurora and bluefin, especially with differences in pre-installed non-layered gaming defaults vs working with flatpaks will be not even close to the same.

Also fedora knoite has little documentation https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-kinoite/. It has enough to get you started and installed, but that is about it. It has one single line of code about rpmostree for example, not even anything about installing an RPM not in fedora's limited repos.

I didn't say any of it was bad. Just that you have to be slightly careful with using those for non-techy users because the documentation just isn't there yet.

Gotta be slightly careful with those spins though because there is near-zero documentation.

That said, it isn't fun for firmware development.

I have daily driven it for 6 months or so. Most things work great but more niche uses like embedded firmware development, digitally signing documents (impossible on bazzite as far as I have found) and anything that requires udev rules or interplay between software.

Otherwise it is great! Much better day to day than opensuse Kalpa.

Crazy enough, I have everything going that I want to on my server!

• *arr suite and jellyfin
• traefik reverse proxy with crowdsec + bouncer for some sites (e.g. not documents or media)
• paperless-ngx for documents
• immich for photos
• leantime to manage personal projects
• Book stack for a personal wiki
• calibre-web for my library
• syncthing for file and music syncing so I don't have to stream music
• valheim server for me and my friends
• boinc for turning my server to a productive heater in the winter
• home assistant for my in-renovation smart home

As far as my server goes, I have everything I need. Maybe setting up something for sharing files over the web if needed. I used nextcloud for that before it killed itself completely and I realized I never really needed it.

Next is working on my smart home because we had to fully strip the house to renovate. KNX first, zwave for things that KNX doesn't have or are crazy expensive, ESPHome for everything that the other two can't accomplish. Minimal 2.4GHz interference and don't have to rely as much as possible on flaky wireless in a brick house.

The decaf at a roaster in Brussels, MOK makes a decaf that rivals some of their filter coffee.

Decaf can't substitute very floral or fruity single origins in my opinion because the process seems to "tone it down" or "generify" it.

It can still be extremely tasty, but it never (in my experience) can save those really light notes.

Not for everyone. I like simply typing 3 letters of the app that I want and it being first up every time. It saves a lot of time rather than swiping multiple home screens or clicking into folders. Finding an app for someone who has never used it though is difficult like if I lend my phone to someone.

SLG46826V-DIP SLG47115V-DIP SLG47004V-DIP

These are the breakout boards of their respective chips.

These chips are the 3 "multiple time programmable" chips in their line (if I have the right ones, I put them in my mouser list a while ago). Which means that once you program them, they aren't burned in with those settings and can be reused.

There is also a "debug mode" where you don't program them at all but program all the settings after boot so that the settings are cleared again after the chip is repowered. I have never used it, but that is what the renesas rep told us during our technical call at work.

They are super handy at getting rid of all of the logic needed for amplifiers, CC/CV circuits, etc...

In Belgium we have 2dehands. Not perfect or open source but miles better than Facebook marketplace.

No payments go through the platform. People meet in person and use cash or use a bank transfer or 3rd party payment like payconiq to buy and sell things. It works perfectly.

Not everything has to have an integrated shopify style payment platform. Most of the population is perfectly capable of exchanging money.

Like how they covered the white Swedish guy shooting up a school by putting a headline photo of a middle eastern immigrant.

Also another downside, if I am not mistaken, is that all of the chat metadata is unencrypted, unlike alternatives like signal. (I think this is the nature of being essentially encrypted email on the backend)

https://immich.app/ I would also put in A tier. Not without its failings and requires a self hosted component, but holy hell is it good.

KISS launcher is also S. It does what it sets out to do and does it well. Not everyone's style, but it is close to flawless for people who like it.

Heliboard A tier. Much better (right now) than florisboard but no swipe typing

AntennaPod easy S tier or even higher. Completely refined, great podcast experience, almost no bugs, great stats, looks very polished, one of the best podcast apps including all non-foss

Eternity for Lemmy B tier. Great UI, but not all of the old functions from infinity are either disabled or translated to Lemmy which leads to some crashes and broken buttons.

LiftLog (B tier) is an open source weight lifting app. Not yet on fdroid, but hopefully in the future. Very simple, very beautiful interface, everything that I personally need except it doesn't yet have the feature to order your lifts chronologically during a workout which sucks when you have to modify the order or lifts done because you go to a public gym

Aren't people here conflating intrusive thoughts vs the call of the void? I remember someone explaining it to me a bit like this:

Intrusive thoughts are often violent and more "you need to kill yourself right now, jump in front of that train!" Or "push that person down the stairs now, do it!!!"

Where call of the void is much more passive as in "what if/I could I jumped in front of a train right now" or "if I pushed that person down the stairs right now, they would probably get very hurt" and extends to things like "I could just drop my phone in a sewer grate"

My understanding is that everyone™ gets the second but a lot less people get the first. I also get the second but not the first. I could be wrong because it was a random person that explained it to me.

There is also a company called palantir which is pretty much a cyberpunk corporate distopia surveillance company.

Or you use one GreenPak device and OTP it based on the model and have it cheaper and more reliable, any supporting circuits like drivers, FETs, bulk capacitance, etc.. Would have to be designed per-model anyway on MCU based design.

Brown shirts are essentially what ICE and the USAF is right now. Hitler's thugs that will hurt whoever he wants because they want to hurt people and they get a free pass to hurt "the right" people. They also his their identity "to protect the troops" from people who would do the right thing and confront serial murderers and abusers.

So congrats on ICE and the arguably most far reaching branch of the US military being drumpler's boot-deepthroating lackey henchmen.

In Germany there was a word for people "that were good people just following orders". Nazis & war criminals

From what I remember, Seagate has a rough year most years when it comes to reliability. Especially the 12TBs. But to be fair, most of the Seagate drives are >1 year older than the WD drives. Though when you compare then to the old HGSTs with a 0.08% average failure rate 😅

Also the 22TB WD drives at 1% after less than 2 years of service. Oof.

Often it will yell at you every day and be very intrusive, not actually disconnect from the internet and force join any old WiFi connections/any non-password protected ones, or simply refuse to work unless you connect them (I think some people were saying newer Samsung TVs do that)
