  You need to enable Bluetooth as a method of connection in the app settings (and can turn off wifi and data there).

  The phones can be in airplane mode but with Bluetooth turned back on (as you would to use earbuds).

  I don’t recall pairing the phones, but there is a “connect via Bluetooth” option on each chat that might be doing that automatically.

  You link accounts to each other by scanning qr codes.

  It does have a group chat but I haven’t used it, so I don’t know if that works with Bluetooth alone.

  I just tried testing this with an old phone of mine, but can’t get it to work right now (maybe because it has Graphene os?), but I have actually used it on flights in the past.

  I’ve used it to message someone while on a flight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I have it add a backup suffix based on the date. It moves changed and deleted files to another directory adding the date to the filename.

  It can also do hard-link copied so that you can have multiple full directory trees to avoid all that duplication.

  No file deltas or compression, but it does mean that you can access the backups directly.

  I’m sorry if I offend, but… Is this the output of an LLM?

  While it doesn’t have many of the tells, the overall tone and structure of it plus the “polished” feel give me that AI vibe.

  I’m referring to Amcrest Pro cameras, btw. They are the ones that let you configure them to be independent of their cloud service, write to a NAS, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Security camera recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just testing out thingino, but it’s currently lacking features compared to amcrest.

  There’s no option to only save video when events trigger, so it fills the card quickly.

  And I can’t get the tinyCam app to access recorded files, so I have to use the web-based file browser.

  But then Amcrest’s apps (both old and new) have do many faults and glitchy behavior.

  It can, but only downwards.

  I’ve run small models (a few Gb in size) on my steam deck. It gives reasonably fast responses (faster than a person would type).

  I know that they’re far from state-of-the art, but they do work and I know that the Steam Deck is not going to be using much power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backing up easily⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rsync can rename/move target changed or gone from the source.

  I use those options so that I get a separate ‘archive’ dir next to my backup target, with old versions of files.

  It’s useful for loose collections such as photos.

  In this part of California the trucks have a robot mechanism that the drive controls, so the driver stays in the cab unless something goes wrong. I’ve seen them stop to dump out cardboard from the truck because it wasn’t in the recycling bin.

  One driver doesn’t even stop, they just keep rolling as the bin gets dumped, so they often drop it blocking the neighbor’s driveway.

  I just thought that it worked well with as a static image.

  But maybe someone had a bit of fun doing that divider effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what I’m saying, both versions show both outlines.

  The coloring changes, but both show the same information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does the map on the website need that draggable divider when both versions show both types of projection?

  I haven’t yet watched the video, but from the posted images, it looks like they converted the image itself to a frequency spectrum, so no image format encoding was involved before it reached the point of being audio.
