If it’s out of the bag, then it’s out of the bag

Now that is a powerful cat

But what if you lose the notebook? Or just don’t have it on you, when you need it? God help ya if someone malicious gets it. Keep it digital, always available, backed up, and secure.

Thanks! It does indeed look like people try out Linux before the new Windows release. Then it returns to the slower adoption trend.

Someone should add major Windows releases on the X axis. There’s gotta be some correlation.

This is a non-issue. Why not use Aegis and backup your own credentials? I wouldn’t trust Authy (or any 2FA app that includes cloud backup).

About $300. Lately I have purchased a lightly used Pixel off eBay (when the new generation drops) and have had great success.

Why would I choose this over LibreWolf?

Its not even a free market. Check the protectionism keeping Chinese EVs out of the US. Its more like the land of corporate profits.

Nah, Transmission just gets kinda buggy when its loaded with hundreds of torrents. Its fine for light use (or perhaps if you have a ton of RAM). But it definitely gets laggy and occasionally unresponsive after running a few days.

You’re right. I think we’re looking at the same blog spam. They may not have working magnet links, just sketchy direct-download sites. My Sonarr just picked it up tho. Looks like Milkie has it now. I’m sure it will hit fully public torrent sites soon.

Search “The.Daily.Show.February.12.2024.WEB.h264-RBB” and you will find links and magnets.

Gotcha. A ZigBee/Z-wave plug was the first thing that came to mind. I’ll probably go the same route. I was merely saying that wireless-anything is less dependable than wired. But I don’t even know if wired smart plugs exist. I use wireless sensors around my home and I’ve never had an issue with dependability. I definitely wasn’t considering Z-wave as a local attack vector. I was just brainstorming some way to avoid a wireless solution for something where dependability is paramount.

Care to share what outlet you had success with? I’m comfortable with Home Assistant and ZigBee/Z-Wave. Something this critical probably shouldn’t be wireless, but I digress. I’m also interested in what software you’re using for monitoring and alerts (if you’re willing to share). Cheers!

Gotcha. That does make sense to me. Its hard to verbalize, but Firefox does seem a bit clunkier than alternatives. Chrome on Android also runs buttery smooth. I’ll have to give Edge a try sometime. I try to keep an open mind, but I do gravitate towards open source (when it makes sense and works well).

Why use Edge tho? If you want a browser on Android with extensions, just use Firefox. In my humble opinion: M$ anything should be avoided (unless there are specific benefits or features).

People are stupid, apathetic, profiting off the status quo, or just too exhausted from trying to keep a roof over their head. The role of government should be to protect citizens from being taken advantage of by corporations. We need a new (or heavily amended) Bill of Rights for our modern civilization. Unfortunately in the US: our politicians are servants of corporations rather than citizens. It’s a free buffet for our data (that has been collected through better-than-Orwellian means) and nobody seems to give a fuck. I’m just rambling… I wish there were more of us who gave a shit and demanded privacy protections.

Set the battery usage of your essential apps to Unrestricted and your persistence problem is solved. Android has vastly improved its security by cutting off the workarounds shady (and legit) apps have used to persist. Some of these improvement are from GrapheneOS devs hardening the AOSP pipeline and increasing everyone’s privacy. You mention VPN apps getting neutered. I’ve never experienced Wireguard getting killed by Android and I use that app nearly continuously. I also use Syncthing all day. Setting its battery use to unrestricted keeps it working just fine. I use the app’s internal options to disable syncing when my battery tapers off. The hacky workarounds you speak of to maintain persistence on A14 should be killed off to improve everyone’s privacy.

Can anyone with experience using “OSMAnd~” and “Organic Maps” shed light on which works best in the US?

It appears you’re attempting to patch the installed app. Download the APK and patch that file. Then install the modded APK.
