I suspect those may depend on choosing a particular response to some of the previous questions

Were zx spectrum +2 keyboards disgusting to type on?

Out of curiosity, I've been watching a few restorations of those spectrums, and I've noticed the keyboards having a rather peculiar construction, judging by today's standards. They have 2 springs, the small one, as far as I understand, presses the membrane layers together, and the larger one returns the key into neutral position...

fl42v OP ,

Phew, count me relieved. The keyboard on that clone was pretty linear as far as I can remember with no variation in force applied whatsoever

The error shown in the image is unreadable. Can you take a pic of it specifically?

fl42v ,

Calling them features doesn't substitute a kill.

*i have things to procrastinate on

M$ Sculpt "brain transplant" ( lemmy.ml )

Decided to share an older "project" of mine - ms sculpt wireless to wired conversion (also, it runs qmk, so we get all its features). A sensible person would order a custom pcb (such projects exist on the web, take a look if you're interested), but I went with removing all the components except from the ribbon cable connector,...

Sending plain-text passwords is rather interesting, tho. Could've at least optionally encrypted 'em with a key derived from smth known by the user only.

fl42v ,

So, regarding the account: it depends. AFAIK, there's no "graphene account" in grapheneos, but you can use the regular google account after installing sandboxed play services. Note: you don't have to, the only things from google I personally used were gcam (since their hdr+ thingy is quite good) and photos (since foss alternatives I've tried can't 3d transform), both without play services and internet access. On other roms there may be an optional account (ex, /e/os).

Applications: there's a messaging app (regular SMS) and gallery (not sure here, tho, mb there wasn't; once again I decided to keep using google photos), otherwise - nope. All can be obtained from f-droid/play store/aurora. Syncing probably needs to be done via 3rd party stuff (I'd probably go with self-hosted nextcloud instance, which can be done rather easily and for free with tailscale if you have a spare laptop/pc)

App installation: I personally went with f-droid plus aurora (since the proprietary software I use doesn't rely on play services other than for sending notifications, exception - gcam, but fixable with gcam services provider from f-droid with the caveat of not being able to use sandboxed play services due to the name collision). Idk how exactly sandboxed play services are "better" compared to f-droid, mb in terms of software availability? Otherwise I prefer f-droid since stuff there is Foss, trackerless and overall better audited (paste here the links to numerous articles about actual malware being found in play store).

Self-hosting nextcloud is relatively easy (I can drop some links later if you're interested), but you can also keep using whatever you used before. Also (correct me if I'm wrong) /e/ provides their cloud with some amount of free storage, so you may want to start with that.

So, as I've mentioned, you'll need another machine (I'd advice running Linux on it, but it's probably not strictly necessary)

The easiest route would probably be to run their all-in-one docker image. I believe, their instructions are rather straightforward. It would be enough to expose port 8080 only in the provided docker run command.

Then accessing from outside the local network may be accomplished via tailscale.

By default it will be accessible from within your tailnet only, but if it doesn't suite you (e.g. you want to use another VPN on your phone to hide your traffic from your provider or bypass regional restrictions) you can expose it to the internet via tailscale funnel.

fl42v ,

I'd just wipe everything; also change the passwords to the accounts used during suspected infection, mb try to ask the cellular provider the SMS history in case it reset any passwords. Y'know, the usual stuff.

fl42v ,

Huh, no wonder anyone's so damn useless 🤣

fl42v ,

I'm conflicted: on one hand, fuck telegram; on the other hand, fuck media companies and their copyrighted bullshit. The same stuff as with tiktok in usa

fl42v ,

Mostly the lack of e2ee by default (like seriously, even WhatsApp does this), data collection for targeted ads (since relatively recently), closed-source server-side, and providing data to law enforcements despite claiming not to in their FAQ.

Also them constantly breaking backwards compatibility by introducing useless garbage (like that textured background when replying to sb with premium) is kinda annoying. Like seriously, they could've just extracted the text instead of "this message is not supported by your version of $client_name"

While the author of the meme seems to be unfamiliar with the concept of causality, the last part doesn't seem that wrong if you look at Assange, for example...

fl42v ,

Can sb explain the courts how fail2ban works?

fl42v ,
what if you wanted to show a presentation
but windows said new-upgrade-UI
fl42v ,

Does it, tho? It's like "smth you know + smth you have" (although knowing or being able to remember most paswords is also quite often a bad idea, but I digress); so you have a device and know [the password for the password manager which knows] the password.

Besides, given that logic, to not defeat the purpose of 2fa you'll have to have another smartphone just to run aegis or something

fl42v ,

I mean, that's TTT: instead of selling your info they charge companies showing you ads you might be interested in.

fl42v ,

Let's narrow it down to normal ppl :) 'Cause those having nothing to hide are enabling enshitification.

fl42v ,

Don't those black holes also have tentacles or blink perchance?

fl42v ,

So, jews traveled to africa on those jewish ships, bought/enslaved a bunch of black dudes and shipped them to whatever peaceful&functional society they wanted to destroy. Apparently since then they've also managed to hijack all the historical records of said events.

fl42v ,

Would be more robust for the phone to say "hey, I'm your new network interface" (a.k.a. usb tethering). AFAIK, it'd use DNS provided by the device.

The pro's are that it works on all the os'es ootb and doesn't create suspicious windows on connection, so you don't need to distract the victim

fl42v ,

That was private 😡

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

fl42v ,

You can't 2.25 (which makes it last about 33.5 mins) or something?

fl42v ,

Vim is just much simpler, I guess. Also, it's pre-installed almost everywhere

fl42v ,

This is good, but I prefer this https://i.redd.it/nkd5ytu8qxe91.jpg

fl42v ,

What are your thoughts on paperwm so far compared to more traditional tiling WMs?

I'm more of a Wayland person, so I've been thinking about trying out niri for a while now. I kinda like their nix flake and sloc-count (which make me think the dev(s) are pretty competent) and have used said flake as a reference for trying out a few other Wayland compositors written in rust on nixos so far, but the idea of scrollable tiling overall seems weird, so I'm hesitant to try it out myself rn :/

fl42v ,

Huh, that'd be a clever trick. Too clever for muskians, I'd say.

makes me wander, what ai/prompt did you use to generate the pic. Looks neat!

fl42v ,

The laptop's battery during these days would discharge and charge, slowly degrading the battery because only the last ~ 20% would be charged and discharged.

How, tho? Sounds like what we had for e.g. NiCd batteries (memory effect) but do not have for li-{ion,poly} ones.

Also, why would the laptop discharge the battery with ac attached? Sounds weird to me

fl42v ,

Huh, apparently some vendors kinda do it themselves (not sure if always, tho) at least for the lower bound: cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/voltage_min_design reports 10.8v for a 3s battery which is about 3.6v per cell instead of 3.2. Also the upper limit is uncertain so far

fl42v ,

I'd disagree regarding such vids: these are more of a time fillers (how exactly is it useful to know the history of x11?). Hence, it's more convenient to listen to them as a podcast (e.g. via newpipe or mpv).

Why you shouldn't use a SIM card and use an hotspot as an alternative ( piped.video )

The video discusses the privacy concerns associated with SIM cards in mobile phones, highlighting three main reasons to be cautious. First, it explains how SIM cards enable constant location tracking through communication with cell towers. Second, it delves into the autonomy of SIM cards, particularly proactive SIMs that can...

fl42v ,

That depends, tho. I personally don't make much phone calls so it would work just fine... If I lived in USA, that is.

Also, that depends on the phone: one of the main concerns of the video is that gapps can bypass the vpn... And, well, I have no gapps 🤷

Make any Distro Immutable ( github.com )

It is by design non-invasive and should work on any distro which meets the requirements; Btrfs root and systemd-boot bootloader. With non-invasive I mean; it doesn't mess with your normal OS and its configuration, it can be rolled out, toyed around with and just as easily be removed again....

fl42v ,

To get a truly immutable experience install use squashfs instead :D

fl42v ,

It's a joke; squashfs is read-only :D Stuff's used on routers and similar stuff

fl42v ,

So that it's possible for different versions of software/libs to coexist on the same system

fl42v ,

It's called guix.

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it's 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you're about to execute... And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

fl42v OP ,

Allrighty, now we officially need a program (I'm hesitant to call it malware since technically it's for the user's good XD) that covertly replaces a running copy of windows with linux... Besides, I think it was possible before to install stuff like Ubuntu directly from windows?

fl42v OP ,

That's kinda weird: shouldn't they recompile everything first and then replace repos' contents?

fl42v OP ,

Dang, similar stuff happened to me on nixos. Had to instruct one of the relatives on how to reboot the machine and choose a previous generation in the boitloader 🤣
