  • Phone Purgatory

  • Yeah, it'd be a live monitoring footprint limited to, say, wherever you have/bring a personal device plus maybe wherever there's a wifi network it knows. But you'd be able to see where the tag was when it last pinged you, so you could return to that location to search for it and get a more accurate location fix.

    The only case my example doesn't cover is if a third party moves the tag away from your typical footprint and networks.

    Hmm...

    It might be time to move on from the mass-surveillance-on-every-single-device style of object location tracking.Are there localising/tracking bluetooth tags available which only connect to your network/devices?

  • There are packages in the normal repositories; no need to use AUR:

    https://packages.cachyos.org/?search=jellyfin

    ...although I do notice there's no jellyfin-web package (which is avaiable in archlinux).

    As a rule, using AUR has caveats. We'd also need to know which AUR packages you are using to give advice there.

  • FOSS call recorder for android?

  • A few years ago I was using "Call Recorder" which seemed good at the time, but right now hasn't had any work done on it since 2023.

    It was on f-droid, but the author threw a tantrum at f-droid about donations.

  • Why Keating’s greatest speeches still matter after the Voice failed

    Jump

  • Really need to stop treating the yes-/no- vote as a dichotomous measure of intent or understanding.

    It erases the substantial indigenous (& -allied) positions of profound dissatisfaction and misgivings towards the voice proposal – that it would entrench problematic power structures within indigenous representation; that it would be legally ineffective and unnecessary for its purpoted aims; that it would legally undermine recognition of first-nation sovereignties; that it was a pissweak alternative to working towards treaties; and more.

  • Trollies are usually plastic-coated. If you're gonna do this please burn it off first with a nice hot fire, then scrub off all the plastic residue before cooking food on it.

    If it's tin- or zinc-plated you run the risk of metal fume fever if you breathe the fumes, but once-off it's probably not much of a hazard. Unless it's cadmium plated (peculiar yellowish hue), in which case the fumes and residue are quite hazardous.

    It's also worth bringing a spanner to remove the castors – they're usually decent quality and can be used for better purposes than a shopping trolley.

    Not sure if any of this advice transfers with the programming analogy.

  • I never trust my devices to not have a vulnerability exploitable via USB, possibly not patchable in software.

    So I'll never charge with an untrusted/public USB port without a non-data charge cable. If my threat level were higher I wouldn't even use a friend's charger.

  • What is smart to use as messenger? Briar, SimpleX or XMPP?

    Jump

  • Huh, first I've seen that writeup. First in-depth well-reasoned set of criticisms I've read on the XMPP+OMEMO setup, which is my goto and usual recommendation (and what I still find most power-efficient on a degoogled phone, most usable and reliable despite its stagnation).

    Gives a good overview of the accumulated technical debt/chaos beneath the surface. Really hope that conversations and omemo can sort out their mess, or that other clients like kaidan can rise up and push omemo forward, because xmpp itself has been a solid foundation.
