I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I forgot to specify that some were Nintendo Switches, the console
- Comment on How should everything be routed? 1 day ago:
Not quite. How did you make the diagram? I can try making one like that to clarify how everything is connected
- Comment on How should everything be routed? 1 day ago:
I wasn’t sure, since when trying to find devices, the desktop seems to be isolated from everything else.
Also means I can’t use KDE Connect on it unfortunately, and the Bluetooth mode they have didn’t work either.
I’m hoping I’ll at least maybe be able to use it on a server in the future if everything is connected right
- Comment on How should everything be routed? 1 day ago:
I’m finding it a little hard to follow your description sorry, but couldn’t you do something like: Outside Internet -> Modem -> Router -> network switch -> devices?
No, because the desktop is in another room, unfortunately, and wife doesn’t like the idea of running a long lan cable.

I’ll try my best

Instead of two currently? Would it all be in the same network then?

To be me it was the way the possum jumped. They don’t cartoonishly move their limbs like that, but jump similarly to an Armadillo.
… But not everyone has seen a real one jump to be fair.
- Comment on Which would be better? 3 days ago:
Yeah, I found a much cheaper alternative that ships from Europe for only 35€.
I’m getting conflicting information on Home Connect about the Sky Connect (now named some weird letter/number combo) that says it supports both matter/thread and ZigBee, but also actually it’s experimental so not really and it works for some but not others, but also support for matter/thread is coming in November…
- Comment on Which would be better? 3 days ago:
Is the Sky Connect I linked not good compared to those other ones? It supposedly connects with ZigBee, Matter, and Thread
- Comment on Which would be better? 4 days ago:
Thanks everyone! Seems like the consensus is the GMK. I’ll try CasaOS on it then. If anyone here has experience with it though, do I need an extra peripheral for ZigBee/Matter support, like this one?

- Comment on When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy 5 days ago:
Unpopular opinion, but I partially agree with you.
Win 7 and 10 did pretty much mostly work out of the box. And during those times, Linux didn’t work as well always.
But with Win 11? Microsoft has fucked up. Not only do things not always work (the biggest issue I get is display drivers malfunctioning and Bluetooth/internet issues with updates), but certain Linux distros the hardware works better, which was really weird to come across. Specifically KDE Fedora stuff. I can actually control the brightness on a desktop easily from a software panel for example, instead of having to manually use the buttons on the monitor.
Even HDR recently breaks on Win 11 when it was working just fine, throwing off all the colors outside of the game you’re playing if you activate it for the game.
There’s also something you pointed out in your own comment that’s a benefit that Linux sort of had since even back then - the interface is easier to use than Windows. My dad always had issues figuring out how to use his computer to just browse the internet on Windows but finally learned on Ubuntu. But like you said, at the time, I had to set everything up first. Now? I’m pretty confident certain distros wouldn’t need that.

I’m not a woman, but after going through a whole explanation saying it’s not about you specifically, but about the unknown, and you still take it personally - I’d consider that a red flag.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 week ago:
But that’s a me thing, something you would know if you knew me.
You’re not getting the point.
The point is, we don’t know you.
And this may shock you, but people with bad intentions can just lie about things online. I’m not saying you are some psychopath who acts nice and caring online only to spike a drink and rape in person. Or that you’re an abuser but you can’t catch it yourself. I’m saying people don’t know you, and therefore it can’t be ruled out as a possibility. And so therefore the risk does indeed exist.
Not knowing is the point. Some people will therefore want to take more precautions when getting to know you even better in person, to minimize the risk further. Others won’t think of the risk and just take it, or think it’s not too risky, or not care of the risk, or even might think they can keep themselves safe, and won’t meeting you in person alone in public.
No matter what though, the point is that initially, people don’t know you. It’s not an accusation directed at you, it’s literally just the situation.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 week ago:
Exactly. They don’t know you at all either.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 week ago:
You’re sexist, but I will say I’m glad I took the offer when given it. The night ended up twice as nice, along with the next couple of months too.
Basically, go ahead and think that. More fun and good times for the rest of us, the two girls I was with that time included ;)
(In hindsight, it should’ve been way more obvious I was poly. But my sights were distracted at the time, and it’s something that wasn’t really talked about much back then)

I literally quoted an article saying how meta and Yandex specifically got through operating system features it wasn’t supposed to.
Anyone who comes across this chain can easily see at this point you’re a bad faith troll now. A bad one at that. This discussion is over. Blocking you now.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 1 week ago:
Okay now I know you’re arguing in bad faith. Not only were 2 of the articles about apps on a phone and not external Israeli software, but over half my comment was about on-phone software bypassing permissions.
Goodbye.

We have evidence that they can do, simply not evidence that they’re doing it currently.
Israeli technology is already used to bypass encryption and security on both Android AND iOS. This despite the documentation showing they have security features that make them safe. Here’s just some news articles talking about it over the years: gizmodo.com/cops-have-less-time-to-break-into-iph…
www.msn.com/en-in/technology/…/ar-AA1Np36m
twoeva.com/2025/…/android-apps-spyware-exposed/
npr.org/…/what-happens-when-law-enforcement-wants…
arstechnica.com/…/meta-and-yandex-are-de-anonymiz…
And despite it being well known by now that they’re able to do this, neither Alphabet nor Apple has been able to (willing to?) stop them.
It would be utterly naive to think that Israel can’t make an app that can ignore being disabled, considering they can make software that can straight up get around literal security features allowing law enforcement to enter locked phones. The last article in particular is about bypassing system rules, quote;
The covert tracking—implemented in the Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica trackers—allows Meta and Yandex to bypass core security and privacy protections provided by both the Android operating system and browsers that run on it. Android sandboxing, for instance, isolates processes to prevent them from interacting with the OS and any other app installed on the device, cutting off access to sensitive data or privileged system resources. Defenses such as state partitioning and storage partitioning, which are built into all major browsers, store site cookies and other data associated with a website in containers that are unique to every top-level website domain to ensure they’re off-limits for every other site.
Basically, you’d have to e stupid to think that a system saying “permission not allowed” is enough to stop a maliciously intended app, but even more stupid to think Israeli backed technology can’t, considering the existence of tools like Pegasus and the past operations and actions of Mossad, along with so many governments adopting Palantir.
At best, you’re blissfully ignorant of things, at worst you’re part of the problem, to think this pre-installed app can simply be stopped by disabling it. If they seek to spy on you, a disablement isn’t going to stop them. It’s laughable you think it is. That you think it isn’t, really shows how little you actually know or understand the technology.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 2 weeks ago:
You don’t have evidence that Israeli app developers can’t do this either.
It’s almost as of we’re lacking the money, skills, and manpower of a nation or something.

Sure, you tell yourself that buddy. Israel is happy for you to believe it.
- Comment on Samsung phones embedded with 'unremovable' Israeli spyware 2 weeks ago:
Yes. It’s not the first time it’s been done either. Then there’s the loopholes as well, like Meta was doing recently.
