Also you shouldn’t plug your phone into random USB ports, although i guess carrying a charge pass through adapter is an option.

I think their point is that it might be against Lemmy.world’s policies, but not Lemmy as a whole due to its federation.

Are you sure it’s engineering you adore. Left as an exercise for the reader? That’s physicist speak.

Looks like this case wasn’t sibling’s spouse. It’s sibling’s spouse’s sibling. In the US, they should not be technically your in-law. But I don’t think it’s weird to use it here and kinda surprised people cared.

Ah, I see. Definitely possible to set up something like nextcloud or immich for file and photo backup. Then use a VPN like tailscale or wireguard to access while out of the house, or setting it up publicly available (usually being a reverse proxy).

Absolutely. Plenty of backup software will work with an external drive, provided it’s plugged in. Hell even a cron job would work.

Ooohh. I definitely read that first as The Long Walk about Slawomir Rawicz’s escape from the gulag to India.

In the US, officially, material cannot be classified to save face or because it would make the government look bad (I’m sure this has happened, even if it’s something like: if it makes (official) look bad that will undermine our country’s strength and therefore cause serious damage to national security or whatever).

Secret material is defined as information that could cause serious damage and Top Secret is exceptionally grave damage. And I suspect a lot of classified information does need to be kept classified, either to protect sources or plans of actions or enemy intelligence or even friendly capabilities.

That’s apple. Android has traditionally allowed sideloading. They aren’t be forced to open up anything, they’re just adding restrictions.

I’ve tagged you as Chronic Tagger.

I mean, so are the Americans with the Los Angeles Class. But Russia also has a modernized submarine, NATO name Severodvinsk.

Unless you own the domain. Then switching providers is a simple DNS/MX/DKIM/DMARC update.

Wireguard/tailscale in?

Generally, anything from 3 times a day to once every 3 days is considered the range of normal.

Sure but that doesn’t change the lack of competition. For my address, I have two non wireless providers, and one of them is copper only and capped at 50 down. So not a lot of choice if an ISP is screwing you.

Ah yes, I will just go to another ISP. Wait, there’s only one.

What’s challenging about paywalls and not wanting to spend money is not necessarily not wanting to spend, but convenience and cost. If it costs me 10 cents for each blog or tutorial or github page I look at while working on a project, or 1 cent for every funny video, that adds up. And do I have to put my credit card in for every site? Hope that every site has good enough security to prevent payment information leaks?

And I don’t think anyone is interested in a Netflix-style internet that fractures into 6 different subscriptions to get every site you need on the web.

Yeah, but I really don’t want my computer to look like my phone. And I hate that they keep moving toward that and “app-ifying” computers (specifically windows).

But then how can I maintain a lurking status?
