Good point

Oh, you can absolutely do that. There's a higher risk of it getting lost, and it takes longer, but it's definitely an option.

Mullvad paid with monero so when the Gestapo starts arresting people, there won't be records of them paying for it.

Yeah, that's what it looks like to me as well, but since I'm currently using Zigbee devices, I would need to either move them to a new hub, or get a second cloud connect, ZBT1, so that one could be dedicated for threads and the other could be dedicated to Zigbee.

Isn't the HA cloud dongle able to do both because they're on the same 2.4 gigahertz or whatever?

I've been slowly making my way into the smart home ecosystem and was incredibly concerned about these not because of paperweight necessarily but because of needing to send data to a company over the internet which might not be available when it's needed.

So I ended up going with Home Assistant and I'm really happy about the launch of the Works with Home Assistant program with the logo on devices.

Have a look at meshtastic. Yes, you do have to get a separate device, but range on it can be several tens to hundreds of miles depending on the mesh density.

I don't have a significant need to use a laptop or desktop as my phone is my primary computing device. With that said, I run Mint Debian Edition on my laptop. Just because I want my computer to work when I go to use it, even if it has been six months.

I found out that Fdroid has SFTP servers so you can just open your Linux file browser and type in SFTP your username at your phone's IP address and get files off of it that way.

Depends on the currency you're looking at. In Bitcoin and Monero terms, almost everything has gone down in price.

Now, if only they were officially in the US market, I would absolutely buy one the next time I need a new device. There's two big problems. Firstly, I can't guarantee that it's going to work with T-Mobile US, which is my carrier. And second, if I needed a spare screen or battery replacement or whatever, I'd have to get it shipped from Europe, which is a pain in the ass.

Haven't had a reddit account since API Gate.

I don't use a PC for very much anymore, so I have little need to use my laptop. But when I do, I've honestly just gone with Linux Mint just because it works. And I have Lineage OS on my phone, which is my primary computing device.

And to think we used to throw away boosters after every launch. How damn wasteful we were back then.

And i no longer use Ubuntu. I remember that too. I also remember such large push back that it was removed

They are on the Guardian Project repository which is no longer in the fdroid app by default to the best of my understanding. So you have to go at it yourself.

Also, orbot is shit, use inviZible to stay updated with the latest tor daemon releases

Agree

I think it was a great idea, but poorly executed. I prefer using simpleX, personally.

No, it's really not. Primarily, because I'm using LineageOS with absolutely no Google services at all installed.
