wouldn’t that either be disabled due to the low battery or eat up the remainder of the battery?

I would think snapping coords, even at low accuracy, would be more power efficient since it technically doesn’t have to connect to more satellites and requires less compute.

that…tracks. I wondered wtf was up with all the little kids in the show.

great idea, but a suggestion.

instead of just one ping at 2%, do three within 10 seconds of each other. this would determine direction and rate of travel.

you always gamble with upgrades just before vacation! /s

Signal had privacy problems?? Maybe using Google play notifications?

I’m not a fan of having my personal identity tied to it. last I checked signal still requires* a phone number.

looks like I might have been wrong originally, but it looks like signal actually does fwd secrecy as well as post-quantum encryption.

keep in mind I’m replacing telegram. I have put off moving for some years but I have the itch to replace it now. simplex also has the closest feature-pairity to telegram out of all the messengers on that list.

also I’m building and hosting this for very nontechnical users. if they heard tor they’d think it was the “darknet”.

my goal is

• keep it secure
• keep it private
• keep it simple

signal has privacy problems.

xmpp/jabber/snikket have encryption and security problems.

from what I can see simplex has everything I need.

• selfhosted
• e2e encryption
• forward security
• routinely maintained
• does not require user IDs

My hesitation to using simplex is the selfhosting aspect of it. I’ve been researching the simplex protocol (SMP) and have been thinking out ways to develop a serverless version of it, that way you don’t get charged for something that’s not being used if you host it in the cloud.

anyway, just my 2¢.

I’ve been doing research on this and came down to two.

1. simplex
2. delta chat

simplex won because of the robust encryption and selfhosted option.

a close contender was stoneage. I liked all it took was an S3 bucket. I didn’t like that it hasn’t been updated in 3 years.

seems a lot harder to index a contextual bit on an optical database.

I remember everything through visual indexing. think of it like taking snapshots of my instruction set based on what I’m looking at.

decades ago I worked in a factory that had robotics involved. I got laid off. two years later they called me in to see if I wanted my old job. I came back and got back to work like I left for the weekend. leadership was dumbfounded. they never saw anything like it and asked me how I did it.

I explained it to them but they didn’t really believe me when I told them I have a mnemonic memory that works off visual indexes. if they had changed the UI for the robots, I would have needed to be trained all over again. since they didn’t, all my training had been triggered by the visual format of the interface.

thing is, I can trigger this directly as well. If I Imagine the UI I still remember the different functions and input commands to move those big fanucs, even 20ish years later.

my point is, for someone like me it’s difficult to imagine how efficient it would be to remember contextual information in basically text format.

not knocking it, it’s just…different.

People who don’t visualize an apple like it’s a picture on an iPhone can still visualize an apple. They know it’s red, the size of a fist, round/tooth shaped, etc.

could you imagine a crystal apple, with little black stars inside that are spinning clockwise?

or how about an apple that has a worm chewing through it with a face?

what does the face look like? is it human?

if you can’t even imagine a face, what part of the spectrum are you on?

your local admin has disabled your graphics card.

for what it’s worth, I have heard of people curing their aphantasia by microdosing mind altering drugs like psilocybin or LSD.

it’s a risk to take it at all, but if it’s something you desperately want to experience it might prove useful.

FYI, don’t try to DIY. find someone with experience that you 200% trust. they are, after all, going to be caring for you while you’re under the influence.

I mean, that’s literally what her previous owner was implying in the tea house.

guess y’all should get faster translators then.

piracy is an access problem.

most the heinous acts are filtered out on hidive.

I had to download it to get the full unedited version.

the first episode is hilarious when the MC is “doing things” to her and all they focus on is the fireplace as she screams and moans.

don’t feel bad though, she totally deserved it for the absolute horrible things she did to the MC before.

honestly I was disappointed he didn’t just kill her.

I just can’t fathom how bad you have to be to ruin a story so bad that a show about literally smoking behind a convenience store is far more interesting.

don’t get me wrong, I love a good slice of life show and have been excited to see the show. but when compared to something like a fantasy Isekai it’s clear which should be a more engrossing and entertaining show.

Imagine my surprise the first time I watched redo of healer.

now imagine my disgust the fifth time I watched it.

but she’s not his slave because he hasn’t dumped a load in her yet.

The Villainess is Isekai’d to another world as a lunchbox of the hero only to be stuffed full every day by his unpopular brother

story had promise. character development is lacking. animation feels stiched with AI.

the worst part? the first 5 minutes of every episode is recap and intro. the last 5 minutes is credits and teaser. the middle has a 1-3 minute commercial break recap. so that leaves roughly 15 minutes of mediocre content.

If I was the mangka, I’d be shitting in someone’s bento.

it’s been awhile since I rewatched it. my 52 year old senile brain just can keep up anymore.

pick it up. it gets less weird because he gets older, just keep in mind that although he’s technically in his 40s, he’s socially mature enough to be a teen, so it all kinda equals out.

my favorite part of the whole story is watching him go from “I know more than these assholes” to “I have no idea wtf I’m doing, why did I do that?!”

highly recommend the series, however you should probably avoid the manga as one of the chapters has been banned in the US for “stuff”.

thank fuck. keep dropping Ubuntu. it’s a shit distro run by a shit company.

let’s get real…google isn’t going to stop. why would they? there’s zero repercussions for their aggressive strategy against their own consumers.

so stop using their products. cut google out, entirely.

I believe in truck-kun because people have seen it actually happen. can’t say the same for the other two.

just don’t “google it”.

at the molecular level at that.

one thing to consider with a raid is the drive resonance. if you don’t have proper hardware to ensure the drives are properly isolated you could shave months or years off their lifespan.

always use the same make/model and data density when building a raid. you should also buy them either all new or used that were pulled from another raid.

also more is better. raids are designed to fail. buy extra drives to replace active drives. my personal rule is to buy 50-75% more than required. so if the raid will have four drives, I buy six or seven.

also, when one drive fails others will inevitably follow due to manufacturing defects or resonance changes. replace your backup stock when affordable.

I do agree though. of you’re selfhosting, a raid array is the best place to start. though, I’m personally partial to a raid-10 over a 5.

these are people who “have an idea for an app” that pester devs to build their dumbass ideas.

like the anime itself has become sentient and has announced a new project?

I’d say it’s news enough for it to become self aware, but won’t disparage more developments.

Rikka all the way.
