Yeah, that's what I was doing before when it was just me. But, my wife isn't gonna wanna mount an SSHFS. It needs to work like Google Drive, meaning web interface.

I'm not giving Google anymore money. I'm actively going to vote for their competitor, Motorola+GrapheneOS.

(Not buying used Pixel.)

Same. :/

I try to be as low tech as possible now. Most tech these days feels like it's trying to exploit me in every way it can.

Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops

I've been wandering the laptop desert for a few years now. Lenovo, Dell, System76, Framework, StarLabs.

I'm currently on a Dell Pro 13, but the keyboard really sucks and the hardware isn't fully Linux compatible.

StarLabs had keyboard issues and terrible battery life.

Framework seems like Linux was an after thought. Their HiDPI display isn't fully Linux compatible.

I recently got my parents an X13 and everything just works. Camera, Bluetooth, graphics, display. All good.

I prefer 13in screens, but I'll take the repairability of the T14 gen 7!

Jolla Phone (pronounced “Yolla”)

I've been pronouncing this in Spanish the whole time, "joya" (ho-ya), which means jewel.

Wait, how is "yolla" pronounced? yo-ya? yo-la? jo-la? jo-ya?

I'd rather a simple "no thanks"

I’d feel more considered if I’d gotten no email at all

I hate when I get ghosted. A rejection email lets me close the loop with that company and move on. Otherwise, I feel like "there's still a chance!" and that's worse.

Nobody ever does. All AI demos are just: look at this mountain of generated text.

No checks if the mountain is correct
No checks if the mountain is a maintainable design
No checks if the mountain was even needed AT ALL

Does anyone have any experience with Sync-in for online files?

but if simple is what you want then a Synology DS225+ should get you up n running quickly

Ah, I forgot to mention I'm already running my own Debian server. Ideally, I wouldn't have to buy another device just for online file management.

Which part of the seafile install was it that made you back off?

There's proxies behind proxies behind proxies that proxy to proxies so you can proxy while you proxy.

I managed to install half of it, but then some of the many servers you need to install didn't end up talking with each other. I tried studying the architecture for a bit, but still couldn't figure out which server's request I needed to rewrite in order for the other server to see it.

Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike: Telegram is not private. There is nothing private about it. They've done a really amazing job of convincing the world that this is an encrypted messaging app

you can’t truly use Signal’s new “username” feature. If any of the recipients have your number stored in their phonebook, irrespective of whether you know them or not, the username goes for a toss.

Hm. I haven't interacted with a new Signal user in a while... but I do see in settings two knobs: "who can see my phone number" and "who can find me with my phone number". Both of these settings can be set to "nobody".

I'm guessing if I set "who can find me with my phone number" to "nobody", then even if someone has my phone number in their contacts, they wouldn't know I'm a Signal user?
