FUTO, Thumb-key, and AnySoftKeyboard for me on different devices.

Is this the homelab version of A/S/L? 😂

The only thing I’ll tack onto this is that with the introduction of Signal usernames, you still have to give Signal your number to verify that at least on some level, you probably are a real person. As someone with 5 different phone numbers, probably doesn’t stop spam as much as they’d hoped, but more than they feared, but at least now you don’t have to give that Craigslist guy who uses Signal your phone number, just your username. Is that the best method? I dunno, but but it is something.

I’m all for 3d printing things for myself, especially when they serve a purpose and not just a little display piece.

The thing keeping me from self hosted email is despite working in the tech field for 8 years, I still can’t seem to wrap my head around SSL certs, especially trying to use one from Let’s Encrypt. I don’t know why.

My college taught us GIMP for anyone in the CIS program, but not the actual graphic design track.

Not the best solution, but I use a free Spotify account and IFTTT to pull a list of songs added to certain Spotify playlists, like the new rock one, to a Dropbox TXT file to find new bands. Takes some effort, but let’s me see what’s coming out.

Ah the ol’ Kingsmen ending.

Not really a work around, but you could get a VOIP number from MySudo or Hushed or a similar service and use that to sign up for Signal. Might at least be more private if you go about it with like a prepaid card and temp email or something.

I’m not sure if this would work, it would definitely be more of a hassle if it does, but can you install Veeam B&R community edition and use it’s agent to do a backup, or does that really only work on VMs?

The ‘nothing to hide’ argument seems a lot like that ‘first they came for socialists and I did not speak out, because I was not a socialist…’ quote. Sure you have nothing to hide right now, but what happens when something you weren’t hiding becomes a target.

I don’t know what kinds of packets WiFi calling sends, but I would assume a public IP would be in there somewhere and, at least from a law enforcement perspective I can’t imagine it would be too hard to get the address tied to it.

Sceptre has Non smart TVs. May be the only ones left to be honest

I’ve got one progam that I need for work that I cannot get to run on Linux. I’ve tried WINE on both Ubuntu and Zorin (and winlator for android). I have the installer exe file and try to launch with WINE but then nothing happens. Is that a program problem, WINE limitation, or something else? Is there a different program I should try to launch it?

The annoying thing is that even without it connected to the internet, it’s still slowed down by the OS. I did the same and it’s still not as responsive to things like switching inputs as the projector I was using before it.

Would love an OSM map that had surveilance camera locations listed. Looked on organic maps, but that’s not an option to place.

I used to really enjoy his Linux Sucks speeches, but man, not sure if younger me wasn’t paying attention or if man went real off the deep end around 2019.

Since we’re all throwing out DNS options, I’ll toss in NextDNS

Just management things, they don’t do nested permissions, removed the ability to have groups auto added to collections and the desktop app has been broken for creating new entries in an organization because it can’t for some reason it can’t see collections, but that’s something that broke in an update and they just haven’t fixed for a few versions.

I was using Bitwarden up until I moved my email service to Proton. Now, I just use all their things, but I didn’t have any issues with Bitwarden personal. I do have some issues with their organization accounts though.
