Matrix server/Element mobile app if you want something that you can host yourself / privacy is a concern. The Synapse Matrix server doesn’t send your message content to any Apple/Matrix.org server, it just tells your…
Perhaps Blink Shell + an EC2 instance or a digital ocean droplet? You also get Vim and a full linux system. This is what I do
I've been wanting to set up https://git.zx2c4.com/PhotoFloat/about/ Photoprism/Lychee/similar options don't really appeal to me because they involve a bunch of moving pieces. I want something that takes a directory, and…
It's a proprietary note ecosystem, so if you ever try to leave (or not use iCloud, which iOS/macOS note syncing depends on), it will be very difficult to regain control of your notes. I did this and it took a lot of…
Yeah I mean a prepaid SIM + top up with cash is < $30 USD. It just feels like they're taking advantage of people. Although now that I think about it I wonder how they do E911? Sounds like a liability
As a few others have pointed out I'm not sure I buy the privacy argument here (although there is very little to go on on the linked page..) Having your phone radio on at all (even without a SIM, e.g. E911 calls) is…
That's pretty accurate. Some stuff is encrypted with the device passcode like Health data and Keychain data. Around iOS 9 [1], Apple implemented some functionality to encrypt backups through a similar mechanism. This…
> Interesting how you are sending SMS with different caller-ID based on contacts, but I am curious - without a VOIP dialer, can you place voice calls from your native dialer with different caller ID ? Yes it is not very…
Hijacking here, I use a similar setup and the fees are way less than my Telco plan. Standard telco is basically only worth keeping for the Data plans.
Neat! I have a similar setup, except a little more native support because of Twilio Wireless (not sure if you know about this? https://www.twilio.com/wireless) I have the Twilio SIM (T-Mobile coverage) in my primary SIM…
Can you provide more info on this Twilio mini-telco? I’ve been working on something similar to work around the lack of well supported libraries for telephony
I have the X1C. Little thing I noticed about the matte IPS screen (which I selected for outdoor usage much like you said) is that the screen goes black when I wear my sunglasses with a polarized lens, so if your…
Spotify has a linux client that runs on electron. The Librem 5 runs a full Debian OS. So you should be able to run electron on it without any issues.
There are also a ton of CLI tools to generate TOTP if thats what you're using authy for. https://github.com/WhyNotHugo/totp-cli
Yeah, years ago. Nothing new here. Running "exiftool FB_IMG" would reveal the same "structural abnormality" (not an abnormality though because its part of the valid IIM block of the file). See…
Wow that fossil is huge! And so well preserved... What a cool find.
The paradox here is pretty difficult to break down because it its function and causes are so intertwined with everything in "industrialized Western society" as the above comment makes note of. The book "24/7: Late…
I am pretty convinced that this greatly degrades audio quality on my aux headphones. Bluetooth quality is normal, but with this cable, I can hear the difference. When plugged into an amp/speaker the grain is so…
fascinating. thanks!
Why on earth would it run java?
Is a policy which discriminates against cash usage the best way to screen against the "behavior" of being dirty/smelly? Why not just ask him to leave if he loiters too long? Instead, this policy clearly screens against…
Who said this person hasn't bathed in months? I have to challenge your claim of it being fine to want "pleasantness" or "standards" in a public space. 60 years ago, pre civil rights, this "pleasantness" meant not being…
I am very shocked. I really like Joe & the Juice. This story warrants a boycott, if it is credible.
finally! been waiting forever for this on my WQHD thinkpad with wayland edit: good post and discussion here https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3....
Last I used libspotify on Linux it still worked, but yes, official support has been withdrawn. It was a hassle to get it working, so yeah it was far from perfect. I found no solutions at all for doing the same with…
