- Comment on Android's new anti-theft features 6 hours ago:
How about putting all app data in storage0 so it can be easily backed up. The thing I care about most if my phone is stolen is being able to build a new one and not have to spend the next day reconfiguring every damned app.

- Comment on Congress’s push to protect kids online is at a crossroads (KOSA, US-focused) 1 week ago:
If these fuckwits really wanted to ‘protect the children’ they’d have a .kids tld with regulation. Then parents and schools can choose to filter everything but that tld, or not.

A ton more fun once you flash rockbox onto it.
- Comment on Why data centers want to have their own nuclear reactors 1 week ago:
I mean, that’s what Ford did. They had the tech to generate power for the factory, so were the city’s electric company.

You can ship to Graylog with netcat or filebeat. Then you can do all of your graphing, searching, and analysis there.
- Comment on Is rsync.net a good service for backups? 5 weeks ago:
I use it. No complaints here. They’ve recently reduced their rates. The alternatives are more involved and more expensive. I put my remote Borg repos on rsync.net

So as far as content is concerned, yes he invented it.
- Comment on Roku got hacked 2 months ago:
Needing a credit card just to use Roku has always been nonsense. I bought a gift card, spent all but $1 of it, and registered with that.
But I’ve since moved to Nvidia shield on the theater and onn on bedroom, office. Much better experience all around.

All of this iot shit, and all we really need is the ability for everything to just use an ntp server.
- Comment on Tidal’s subscription is getting simpler and cheaper — yes, you read that right 2 months ago:
As a stand alone service I don’t think it is great, but feeding into Plex + Plexamp makes it awesome.

My subscriptions actually got better. I’ve had more interaction in my various groups.
All and popular, however, are a dumpster fire.

Borg. With rsync.net if you want to keep an off-site.
- Comment on India may block Proton Mail 2 months ago:
That’s what s/mime does. If it were as easy to get personal certs as it is to get server certs through letsencrypt, everyone could easily sign and encrypt mail.
I can certainly do it anyway, but you’d have to trust my self signed cert.

Spot on.
- Comment on Can you manage your house with a local, no-cloud voice assistant? Mostly, yes. 2 months ago:
I’ve been doing home automation for awhile now. Voice assistant is never anything I would consider. What problem does it solve that a button doesn’t do with less hassle?
Also, note automation. The whole point is for the house to do its thing with minimal interaction based on triggers and states. Everyone leaves? Turn off the lights, lock the doors, turn down the heat. TV comes on after dusk? Dim the living room lights if they are on. Going down the basement stairs? Turn on the lights. Cat just used the litter box? Turn on the hepa filter for a bit.

- Comment on Radicale is the simplest CalDAV/CardDAV server I've ever set up 2 months ago:
I just wish it had a built in way for normal users to share lists and calendars. Afaik you have to kludge it together with symlinks.
