Yes, using it because of revanced. The main thing keeping me on stock android is the BankID app (long story short: nationwide 2fa user authenticator used for loads of things here in norway), and I know people have reported that it doesn’t work on “alternative” phone OSes. I am, however, taking steps to go back to using the old-school Keychain OTP generator instead.

EDIT: I realized you meant “on that linux phone”. No. I wasn’t really tied to a particular platform at that point (early 2008), so I never needed it. I ran a fairly stock OpenMoko.

I actually already use microg for ReVanced. I think the long term plan will be graphene, but short term will be lineage on my current device.

I’m currently leaning towards graphene, as my current phone will have to be replaced at some point. Even if I’m not ready to 100% degoogle, I am taking steps to avoid things that require Big Corpo Mobile OS. For example, any Norwegian knows about BankID… it’s basically a very convenient 2fa app for anything that requires a personal login such as bank, taxes, Healthcare, etc. While the app itself is pretty good, they have effectively tied themselves to apple and Google, and it probably won’t work on any of the alternatives.

This June I’m going back to the OTP Keychain dongle that I used a decade ago.

It’s obvious that banks want to move users away from it for practicalreasons, but they do concede that not everyone can rely on an app on a smartphone, so my excuse of “I work on ships and don’t always have wifi or cell coverage available” was good enough.

A lot of naval radio lingo is based on poorly pronounced French.

Source: Certified radio operator. I don’t speak French, but I still need to say “Seelonce fini” (probably not spelled like that) from time to time. And there’s the periodic “securitee”-broadcasts.

There’s also “pan pan”, but I’m not sure if that’s French.
EDIT: It’s also from French, derived from “panne”

That basically means building another internet at this point. Possible, but probably not worth the investment required.

It might be more feasible to use internet as foundational infrastructure for a huge VPN based on people volunteering resources.

Not really, unless said users want to connect different physical networks together.

It still is. The problem is that the vast majority of the traffic on these LAN parties is facebookgoogletiktoketc traffic, because most of the LAN party attendees prefer that over doing stuff together.

Facebook doesn’t connect friends, it inhibits friendly activities.

Fuck u/spez

A host is basically anything with an IP. A phone, a PC, someone’s smart toaster, etc. If you find yourself between two networks, and connected to both, you’re most likely an ISP or infrastructure provider.

Think of the internet like a myriad of connected LAN parties. Routers connect them into the internet we know.

Reddit shat itself and on its users by forcing people to use an unusable app, and since I only found reddit tolerable via 3rd party apps I stumbled across Lemmy while looking for alternatives.

It’s a routing daemon. Basically, you can run it on a PC in order to connect two networks so that hosts on network A can talk to hosts on network B. This of course requires said PC to be connected to both of these networks directly.

It supports the most common routing protocols.

Expired-pie, obviously

Your post history smells of Grimreaper

Yup, none of us were worried upon the discovery. The can was intact, and it had been stored in the fridge all this time, just forgotten in the back. My GF didn’t noticed that the one I had bought for her to use was still in the bag, so she’d assumed it was the one in the fridge.

The only sad aftermath was the conclusion that we couldn’t eat a proper pie like that again without waiting a couple of years.

In my household we have something we call expired-pie. The name comes from my GF accidentally using this tin of ham that was two years past expired, instead of the one I’d just bought for the recipe. It turned out great and nobody got sick. Then we discovered the accident.

Also, it is my firm belief that a properly made cheesecake is a type of pie.

I hate it. As long as it can be disabled, it’s fine, I guess. A forced update with automatic reboot is annoying at best, and hazardous at worst.

For starters, there’s this navigation and radar system by Furuno called TimeZero (formerly known as MaxSea), and it’s objectively a pretty good piece of software, with the caveat that it runs on windows. More than once have I been contacted by someone needing help to prevent their radar from suddenly reboot8ng while they’re navigating in the dark through shallow water full of reefs.

Secondly, relevant XKCD:

What’s wrong with Godsmack? I liked their first album, but didn’t pay much attention beyond that.

I’d argue that at this stage, the old lostprophets songs are OK, now that Ian Watkins is dead (that stabbing in the neck couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy) - He’s not benefiting from it.
