Why, though? Like, why should we care?

The more you read is just gets wilder and wilder.

I'm admittedly interested now.

What kind of data? More info please.

wesker OP ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Oddly, after a few tries I managed to get past. I religiously back things up, and just last night pushed all my current dots.

I'm gonna run some drive diagnostics. If everything looks good, I'll just repartition and take this as a sign to only use encryption on secondary drives where I backup sensitive info.

My protip is to use symlinks, and then just keep all your dots in a project folder. Makes it super easy to keep iterating on them in realtime, and pushing changes.

10m is when I throw my hands up. Normally it takes under 20s.

An extended test using nvme-cli showed zero errors. I'll try memtest later today.

I don't have any particular concerns. I also have no particular need or desire to. I really only use Signal in place of SMS for friends and family.

It boggles my fucking mind that Meta is being allowed to crash this party with such seemingly little resistance.

Discord sucks so much. I wish it wasn't so popular.

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I've been tempted for the last year to begin work on designing an experience like IRC, but which includes voice chat and screen sharing capabilities. That's my dream is a melding of a nostalgic chat protocol, with modern services.

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I suppose I mean the resemblance to IRC would be mostly in the user experience. However, I personally don't want to add persisted server-side messaging either. The novelty for me is that it's a "here, now" social experience.

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I don't think my solution would satisfy users who are completely married to the Discord experience. The persisted social media experience isn't what I'm interested in, personally. I want an old school chat experience, that still works for modern day LAN parties and movie nights.

The Pixel 7a is a nice size. I've been using it with Graphene for the last 2 months, with no complaints.

Okay, one complaint: wireless charging is slower than I hoped. But I pretty much knew that to likely be the case, going in.

My prior phone to this was the 4a 5G. It was a great size.

wesker ,

It was on the list in the post, so I mean...

I have some experience with Alpine, usually in the form of images for CI pipelines and other remote usecases. It never occurred to me to check it out as a locally installed option.

wesker OP ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Honestly, the more I've thought about it, the more this feels like a sound solution. And then I can just run VMs for distros I want to sandbox in.

wesker OP ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I've actually really wanted to try Proxmox. Both for personal use, but because the experience/knowledge would benefit my career.

Hold on, I'll DM you a video of what I mean.

wesker ,

Can I ask how or maybe where it is painful? Obviously feel free to not respond if that's too personal for your comfort.

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone ( lemmy.world )

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

wesker , (edited )
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I'm using a fresh install of GrapheneOS, and this is installed too. Not sure what that suggests, except that it's possibly some core system level app.

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Out of curiosity, you're specifically checking in the system apps?

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

There's little to no info out there, but I did see some suggestions on a forum, that it may also be installed when setting up a Work profile. I use Shelter to create said isolated Work profile. I wonder if that's a possibile explanation.

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I mean, I bought my Pixel 7a unlocked and paid in full, from Google. And my assumption has always been that when GrapheneOS is flashed, any previous stock bloat is wiped.

Encrypted personal devices, and VPNs, mostly. It's really difficult to maintain real privacy when travelling through customs, the best I can do is make sure my persisted data is safe, and my internet traffic is obfuscated.

EDIT: I keep an encrypted USB pen drive with emergency information on it, should something happen to my phone or laptop, I can quickly get back off the ground.

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I use VeraCrypt to encrypt the whole partition, with a password. I then have on the encrypted partition a backup of my phone contacts, as well as a restricted access wireguard config file pointed at my server. That server hosts VaultWarden, where I can log in with an additional password, and download a wireguard config file with higher access. I then connect using said higher access VPN profile and can download phone backups, access a VaultWarden account with my actual logins, etc.

+1 for Hostpoint. All my servers are in Switzerland as well.
