My friend who was an insurance agent, wanted me to take insurance policy from the company he worked, so he could get a commission.

I said I'm not interested. He sent a video where a truck lost control hit the median of a road then dump all of its load on a car and said it can happen to me.

I said f**k off. That was the last time I contacted him.

Try to add 100+ things to make it very big project, then dropped without even completing 10% of to-do list.

Eventually you get a better idea to start the same project from scratch, then drop it.

3 phones from my family, all running CRDroid. Can't stand with MIUI and their trackers.

Redmi Note 4 is the champ here - bought in Sep 2017, almost 7 years old. Used MIUI for the first 15 days to unlock bootloader.

Poco X3 - 2.5 years old. Redmi Note 10 Pro - 1.25 years old.

Mildly infuriating because of the volume bar in the screenshot. You could have taken screenshot from the recents.

Wireguard + pihole?

KDE Connect - available for Linux, Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows

A ported version is available for Mac.

It supports to transfer files, clipboard, able to access/send SMS, use it as remote keyboard/mouse, pass terminal commands from mobile to pc and many more without Google.

The peer devices should be on same Wi-Fi, that's the requirement.

What I feel is that you need do is to compare the cost of power supply vs hardware then choose whichever is cheaper.

Update us, how things went after you install it.

• Take bath multiple times a day.
• Drink tender coconut or butter milk, whichever you get.
• Wear cotton clothes.
• Drink lot of water to avoid getting kidney stones.
• Don't drink ice water.

😎 then!

Are you going to unplug the existing harddisk? If your Linux /efi partition is written in the windows boot partition, you are kind of messed up.

Better unplug the existing harddisk and try Linux, once you are comfortable you can switch to dual boot then completely swith over to Linux.

A good read about self hosted email servers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32715437

If you are going to use it within your family members it will be fine, but not with other users who uses corporate provided email services.

An app designed by US company doesn't represent anything related to security.

The founder of telegram always complains that the FBI has access to signal, apple and other related chat apps.

He suggests to use private chat, if it is confidential. The message transactions happens between peer to peer and it doesn't go to the server. He was claiming all the privacy feature that you get from signal is the almost same as private chat. Signal stil uses the server.

My account was compromised once, though I have 2FA enabled. I assume that I was accessing my account from a browser on a windows pc, it had virus but not 100% sure. Someone was able to access it, change my name send multiple crypto related links to users in bulk.

It contained years of chat history with my wife. I was able to recover the account. But I deleted all the chat history.

I still use it to get alerts from various automated scripts I use, mostly for the bots with free API access. No personal data go in there.

The mistake might be from my side. But if someone takes over your account, you lose everything.

Same. Don't want to stuck in their ecosystem.

• Your Google search result redirects to Twitter
• you click and open the link
• Twitter asks you to login to see the tweet.
• You close that tab and move on to next search result.

Best way to avoid traffic to your site, then complain about revenue loss from advertisements.

My pc is logged in with my reddit account. Few Google results take me to reddit, I use only that time. I don't visit reddit to see what's happening there.

It's a good tip, but nowadays a lot of apps accessing the contacts. Storing secured information on contacts is vulnerable. Please be mind it.
