Not the first time for me. For example, on the mobilism (apk piracy) forum, only known mail providers are accepted (e.g. gmail)

Sigh Guardian doesn’t let me sign up for their newsletter on a mailbox.org account, shame, was a nice article.

Pizza delivery companies hate this one weird trick

For example, some people don’t like that it’s centralized. It’s not like e-mail, where you can register with any provider and then cross-communicate. Moxie wrote more about this here

I switched to a feature phone that has nothing to do with Android for calling (Mocor RTOS/S30+) because I’m tired of fighting Android for the moment. I keep an unrooted smartphone at home for online banking. Kinda extreme but that’s one way.

Most of the apps rely on contributors to provide supported locations. I was wondering if a dumb app where you provide the GTFS zip url of your city would be useful. Could work if you stay in your city a lot

e.g. most of what you see on https://www.transit.land/map#3.46/47.78/12.46 is GTFS (hopefully public urls)

Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi

If you just want the tunnel encryption you can try hosting a VPN on your own home network. It’s what I do since I don’t need to spoof my location.

You are asking in the piracy community so I’m assuming you’re also using it to torrent (which a home VPN won’t help with) but you didn’t specifiy so I’m not sure

Did you try the new 2FA experience they have in beta? https://mailbox.org/en/post/beta-program-starts

https://github.com/LuckyTurtleDev/docker-images/tree/main/dockerfiles/anki

start with env var sync_user1=username:password or something like that

change server url in anki desktop or ankidroid to what you started in docker

done

And also set-up SSO/LDAP in your homelab if you run one so you don’t have 3000 loose outdated account entries for IPs like 192.168.10.5 user: admin password:*****

UPDATE: Turned out that the culprit of the downtime was my switch - the D-Link DGS-1210-10P rev. B1.

The way the management web interface of the switch works is pretty unintuitive. Namely, if you change some settings in the web interface and hit save in one of the sections, the settings are saved in the volatile memory of the switch. This basically means that the settings are only saved in RAM, which is cleared on power loss. To save the settings into non-volatile memory which persists on reboots, you need to find the “Save” section at the top of the UI. This is described here: https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/20158/dlink-switch-loses-configuration-on-power-off

So basically, my problem was that the settings weren’t commied to nonvolatile memory and on a short 1 minute power loss the switch restarted.

I got an UPS anyway now, SMT750RMI2U

As for backup, you can also buy a e.g. Lenovo M920q minipc, buy a pci-e riser, buy a dual port ethernet card, set up Proxmox, set up an pfSense (or OpenWRT, or OPNsense) VM inside, pass-through the ethernet card directly to the VM. The VM is very backupable, since you just copy the VM state and save it somewhere. This would only work for the router though, since the AP’s that’d be running OpenWRT wouldn’t be VMs. This is at the cost of having to deal with an additional layer for the VMs.

I guess the problem you’re asking about in regards in regards to cross-device portability of a backed up config is valid. If you had a four ETH port router, backed up the config, and then uploaded it on a two ETH port router, you’d run into trouble, but I have no experience here.

You can also install OpenWrt on some switches these days (PoE also reportedly works with realtek-poe module):

• https://forum.openwrt.org/t/support-for-rtl838x-based-managed-switches/57875/
• https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_standard_all?dataflt[Device+Type*~]=Switch

That way you’d have a fully open OpenWRT-only network lab, so you’d always be working with the same system.

At this rate I’ll be having a Lemmy user superiority complex in no time

I read “chemists” as “chekists”. Too much .ml for me

The first quote block refers to what is mentioned in the OP article, and the 2nd is an exaggerated summary of the parent comment.

My issue is that the parent comment is taking imo a lenient stance towards something vile happening

company makes remote workers ineligible for promotion

hey guys yeah it really depends on the job, sometimes you just gotta be in the office heh

did a realtor write this?

There are mice with hot-swap switches (no soldering needed when replacing), but the mice themselves are very expensive. See ASUS ROG mice

I myself have been thinking about moving away from mice at all - https://0x2f.pl/posts/keyboard-and-pointing-device-combo/ - but didn’t really up with switching away for now

a decision was made in early 2024 to become a hard fork
