- Comment on GrapheneOS Under Threat: EU Age Verification And Google Changes Endanger Privacy-Focused Android 22 hours ago:
These are all no necessities whete I sit. I use TAN generators for banking. I use Signal and Matrix for messaging.
- Comment on GrapheneOS Under Threat: EU Age Verification And Google Changes Endanger Privacy-Focused Android 22 hours ago:
No maybe about that. A MiFi router and a tablet would be a workaround. If they outlaw general computers that would be it, no more computers for me.
- Comment on The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) 6 days ago:
Soon to lose the r from propping.
- Comment on Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet 6 days ago:
It’s the Internet. There are internets, but just one Internet.
- Comment on Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet 6 days ago:
Gotta show me the relevant RFC for BGP first.
- Comment on This 50% recycled glass solar panel performs like brand new 1 week ago:
It’s metal ions. You can compensate for iron with manganese, but you’ll still get a grayish glass with reduced transmission.
- Comment on Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU? 1 week ago:
There is less reason to demand certified blobs for WiFi because send power and frequency range is much lower. If there is no open hardware to run open source software I will stop buying it.
- Comment on Reddit wants to be a search engine now 1 week ago:
What’s a reddit?
- Comment on Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU? 1 week ago:
So I will have to import hardware or cease buying smartphones altogether. MiFi router tethering with WiFi tablets and dumbphones are quite enough.
- Comment on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google 2 weeks ago:
While this will happen eventually, and circumvention takes skills, it is fundamentally possible, for motivated individuals.
- Comment on EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google 2 weeks ago:
Just use a VPN then.
- Comment on The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t seen any age verification in BGP.
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, this already applies to any baseband blob.
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 2 weeks ago:
Thanks, it is enough for me.
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 2 weeks ago:
Yes, when I buy books on Amazon it’s the dead tree kind.
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 2 weeks ago:
I’m limiting myself to only open source applications on the tablets. Strictly nothing from Play Store or Aurora.
- Comment on The Future is NOT Self-Hosted 2 weeks ago:
No, you could never buy books on Amazon, only rent them. Calibre with DeDRM plugin was a poor way to liberate them, given that formatting in libre formats was often worse than the original.
I stopped doing that and ingnored the Kindle ecosystem in general. I tried a Kobe reader with .epub books from diverse sources but I mostly use tablets (LineageOS and GrapheneOS) to consume content these days. The reader apps are not that great there, sadly.
- Comment on Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US 2 weeks ago:
Oh look, another one who’s brain has been melted by propaganda.
- Comment on Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals 2 weeks ago:
That’s a very unique fingerprint he’s got.
- Comment on Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US 2 weeks ago:
Reluctance to stop dealing with Russia is a single positive in the list.
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 3 weeks ago:
The endgame is that nobody has money and companies go bankrupt. The end.
- Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition' 4 weeks ago:
Marketing. Fresnel lenses are not going to do well with diffuse light.
- Comment on Are a few people ruining the internet for the rest of us? 4 weeks ago:
The Internet is a bunch of Autonomous Systems running open source protocols. It is doing fine.
- Comment on How to turn off Gemini on Android — and why you should 4 weeks ago:
Pixel 7a and Pixel Tablet since yesterday here.
- Comment on How to turn off Gemini on Android — and why you should 4 weeks ago:
On Pixel 9 stock they mention you can disable AIcore in the settings, so I would assume GrapheneOS is unaffected.
- Comment on From Docker with Ansible to k3s: I don't get it... 4 weeks ago:
Great writeup.
- Comment on Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner? 5 weeks ago:
How much is a kWh in your parts? Noise, ambient temperature? You can buy very decent refurbished Lenovo tiny PCs with some 16 GB RAM and 6 cores and half a TB SSD which will run Proxmox and are low power and noise. You can go multi-node Proxmox later if you want to expand. k8s and related are also an option.
- Comment on "This Is The ONLY Home Server You Should Buy" Or, why older computers may be better for the environment | Hardware Haven 5 weeks ago:
DIY few kWp solar patback is about 2 years.
- Comment on "This Is The ONLY Home Server You Should Buy" Or, why older computers may be better for the environment | Hardware Haven 5 weeks ago:
In Germany consumer power is something like 0.4 EUR/kWh, so economics of running power-hungry hardware might be different. Solar PV might change the equation once again.
- Comment on Solar + Battery (covering 97% of demand) is now cheaper than coal and nuclear 5 weeks ago:
It sound impressive, until you read it’s Las Vegas. In places like Germany you have several weeks per year with neither enough sun nor wind. With backup power like gas turbines which run few weeks per year you have to subsidize the operators. And if you want run them on green hydrogen, massively overbuild the renewable capacity so that you can fill up gas storage during summertime.
