  • Does anyone have banking app recommendations for Australia?

    Jump

  • I prefer browser(web)-based banking apps which work well on a phone UI without the info-access creep.

    UBank (NAB subsidary) and Wise (not a bank) both support passkeys for login in the browser. Most other banks here seem to have regressed from hardware tokens to SMS codes or proprietary apps for their MFA.

    Passkeys are only as secure as your passkeys -- I use Bitwarden with master password re-prompt checked for bank credentials, but I should probably switch to a hardware based passkey (at least for unlocking Bitwarden itself).

    The phone apps are sometimes required to do some things (like managing passkeys for UBank, verifying ID in Wise). They work on LineageOS without the google stuff, but might be worth installing only temporarily in a separate profile or phone.

    Retail payments -- just use a physical card if you're not using cash.

    NSW anti-protest law ruled unconstitutional after Palestine Action Group court challenge

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.
