And from my reading, helps secure against a situation where an police officer (AKA attacker in the US apparently…) coerces you to unlock the phone (or perhaps even just takes it off you in a locked, but active state), and stores it in a faraday bag with a charger. They do that to keep it ‘alive’ so their experts can break in - a dead-mans reboot can help circumvent even that (as it will just reboot and restore itself to an encrypted rest state, which is much harder to attack)

Yeah, seems like its a move to follow apple after custom ROMS offering it as a security feature (Im on GrapheneOS and had it set for a while)

Thanks for the clarification, I forgot that (somehow)

After a reboot all the data is encrypted and needs a pin/fingerprint to unlock. So if it’s stolen (or feds get it) a planned reboot resets it to a highly secure state that is much more difficult to hack into than when it’s just locked from timeout. Edit: removed fingerprint, corrected below.

I have a plan at $job that will reduce our CO2 emissions a year by ~330 tonnes.

Almost makes you wonder why bother sometimes

Good work supporting foss

For the selfhosters, come jump into Immich - it’s google photos at home, full control of your data.

Ouch, yeah that’s frustrating. I’m considering doing my own image (prei stall my own apps) which will help with issues like this and allow consistent apps across machines.

Feels like a sledgehammer for a nail though

I had this with a sunshine service being added as a user service in bazzite. I created a clean new user and it booted, confirming it was user based. Took a bunch of binary searching to work out what the issue was.

I’ve since done my own autostart setup for sunshine and it’s been fine ever since.

Crappy UX!

Ongoing case here in Australia with a lady accused of murdering her ex and ex-inlaws. Invites them to lunch of beef Wellington and death cap mushrooms.

3 died fairly awful deaths in the following days/weeks, 1 survived after intensive care.

Accused of trying to murder the ex 4 prior times too.

The “Mushroom lady” case absolutely captivated us for weeks

Read Anathema last year, really enjoyed it!

Steve looks highly unimpressed

I run ollama and auto1111 on my desktop when it’s powers on. Using open-webui in my homelab always on, and also connected to openrouter. This way I can always use openwebui with openrouter models and it’s pretty cheap per query and a little more private that using a big tech chatbot. And if I want local, I turn on the desktop and have local lamma and stab diff.

I also get bugger all benefit out of it., it’s a cute toy.

God I miss this time on the web

I may have to go back to IRC, hell even running my own fucking server

This is the way. I resisted doing a custom ROM based on past experience, but GrapheneOS is absolutely worth it. The day I saw Gemini in the text messaging app is the day I bit the bullet. Wish I did it sooner

I’ve been daily driving bazzite for a few months, I would highly recommend you give it a distro hop for a bit to see if it fits you. The main downside is getting used to the atomic mindset and changing how you install your tooling

If we had ircv3 specs that included reactions. etc we might be. I rolled a small group of IRC servers with a few selfhost people a year back and it was quite fun. Tbh IRC itself is still alive and well, it’s just not user friendly enough to get non-tech people over easily

Yeah would not go reading oglaf at work lol

Great app, been using it for years
