Thanks so Much man. I’ll update later today and give it a shot. This is great.

- Comment on I'll handle my own data, thank you very much! 1 week ago:
That’s not all they do. They sell security, according to them. If they can’t secure their own shit, how are they going to secure yours? That’s my point. Like you, I self host everything, and I’m well aware that some things are close to impossible to keep private, but giving more of your information to companies that swear they can keep you secure, knowing that there’s a 90%+ chance they will just be another company selling your data while charging you monthly for a completely useless ‘service’ swearing what they do is the complete opposite is exactly why the world is so fucked right now. People need to start doing research or pay the consequences. But it’s worse than that. Because so many fucking idiots resort to shit companies like this one (can’t be bothered to let go of some convenience) the ones that really put some effort into trying to make things better get hit with all this shit, because we are way less than the normies. And yeah, it’s a fucking rant, the more this shit happens the less I respect fucking normies. This has led me to a life where only my immediate family matter now, and maybe a few friends. Everyone else, they can drown in all the crap they choose to put up with for a bit more temporary convenience in their current life, while willfully avoiding looking at the reality of where this is taking all of us. We the few are being royally fucked because the many just won’t move. And I’m not naive enough to believe this is not the way of this world, it is, but I refuse to participate as much as possible. I have enough money tk last me the rest of my life, don’t have to worry about anything, so I have no use for any of what is being sold out there. House is completely paid for, I’m basically removed entirely from my country’s financial system, keep 2 international credit cards from another country for when I travel, and use cash as much as possible. This rant comes from how tired I am of just seeing people complaining about all that is happening while refusing to accept responsibility for enabling this kind of crap. You don’t want your data out there? Easy, research the companies and brands you use, and if they don’t match your philosophy, fucking drop them. ‘Windows is so fucked up, now I have to buy a new expensive laptop for windows 11’. In what sane mind does that make any sense? No, the logical path is, and will always be, ‘windows is so fucked up, so fuck Microsoft, they will never see my money again’.
Now that I’ve let it all out, pissed off a shitload of people, let the fucking hate begin, see if I give a fuck.

I feel the same way. As a matter of fact, the moment I heard about the partnership, I started researching the possibility for either the current signature or the razr ultra (I think that’s the name), but it’s confirmed the hardware is not up to GOS standards. We’re basically stuck until next year.

So fucking glad that GrapheneOS will probably be available for the new Motorola phones next year. I’ve been on pixels since they were Nexus, and if not for GrapheneOS, I would have jumped ship after the Pixel 4 and moved to Crapple.

Lol, good. The user’s of all ‘mainstream’ social networks, for dating or not, should be fine with that.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Having a very similar infrastructure, I would love to know if you ever find anything that works for this. I’ve been maintaining a SnipeIT instance manually, but that’s a real PITA. Tried the same with ITSM-NG, but haven’t even lookid in it for months.

I know you meant ‘targets’. Well played.
- Comment on GrapheneOS calls on privacy focused app developers to boycott European Unified Attestation 2 weeks ago:
Let’s agree to disagree. My family knows I love them, and they know I’m fucking paranoid. So their options were limited, either insta Signal, or just call me on the phone (jmp.chat number via Cheogram), I got off of the WhatsApp wagon and, while some of them resisted at first, they started to feel left out because they were not part of the signal family group. So, they all still use WhatsApp and they all use Signal now. Same with my friends. Every single one of my oldest friends didn’t think about it twice and just installed signal (on ay easier than my family, as expected), and those that didn’t happen to be all the acquaintances, not one of them was ever considered a friend by me. And my mental health is so much better because of this.

- Comment on System76 on Age Verification Laws 2 weeks ago:
Hardly a ‘hive mind’ situation when everything governments all over the world and big corporations have shown, time and again, that they will step up the surveillance any chance they get, try to get away with it, and if they do (which happens all too often), step it up yet again, rinse and repeat.
But you follow your optimistic way of view, at least you’ll be happier than most of us until you see how right we’ve been all along.
- Comment on System76 on Age Verification Laws 3 weeks ago:
Know what? I’ll bite. Let’s have a civil discussion how this is either actually beneficial to ‘save the kids’ or, on the other hand, this is just the first step of a process designed to force full surveillance at the OS level, now that people are finally starting to care a bit about their privacy.
If it is to do something to keep the kids away from harm (you mentioned to reduce manipulation of kids) how does spinning 3 wheels with numbers, attached to no verification whatsoever, help? This is that useless ‘Are you over 18?’ pop-up all over again, where you just click ‘yes’ and move on with whatever it is you wanted to get away with. So, on that front, unless this is designed to put undue extra responsibility and work on the OS developers, this makes no sense (of course, I’m more than willing to hear you counter this theory).
Now, if it’s just that first step, the politicians trying to see what else they can get away with pushing on the population, one step at a time, next they will add ‘the OS will require a picture of the user holding an ID to confirm the entered date of birth, but it will remain local, the OS will just reply yes or no to the apps requesting the info’. Then it’ll be ‘will be sent to a government database for safeguarding’, and so on until you no longer can get away from not showing your face and ID to everyone out there.
Anyway, which one makes more sense to you, honestly?

It’s not his law, it’s the precedent and how it’ll be used sd leverage later to push super invasive and manipulative shit.
- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 3 weeks ago:
You’re exactly at the perfect level to start getting your feet wet without losing productive time (as long as you don’t go on a distro-hop frenzy 🤣).
Weirdly enough, you’re way ahead of 99% of the tech-using population worldwide.
- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 3 weeks ago:
It’s unlikely that fact will change the repairability of the devices. They risk too much by posting biased and false information on that end.

Lol. I do break the law some times by speeding, but have almost no tickets, so that’s a win, haha.

I can attest that the blade battery doesn’t seem to care if you take it all the way to 100% or drop it as low as 5% regularly. I’ve had my car for over 3 years now, and the battery degradation has been negligible. I’ve lost 1% over all this time, and both our cars (BYD HAN and Tang) are consistently allowed to drop under 10% before we decide to go charge them back to 100%. Granted, we live in the Caribbean, so we don’t have to deal with cold weather ever.
- Comment on BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace 3 weeks ago:
Sounds about right. My experience in range difference is very similar.
- Comment on BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace 3 weeks ago:
Right. Open road should be more around 770Km. I have a BYD Han 2023 that has a claimed range of 550Km, and I get just about 420Km realistically, at a steady 110Km/h with a few bursts of up to 150Km/h to get away from idiots doing 80 on a 100 (or just to show off the torque to other types of idiots like BMW and some Tesla drivers 😏).
- Comment on Ideon: I'm building a self-hosted project cockpit on an infinite canvas (v0.5 update) 4 weeks ago:
OK, ready to be a guinea pig for another nice self-hosted service. Just let me know what you want to test from now on, and I’ll freely do so, break it if necessary, and try to put it back together.
Thanks, this is pretty cool.
Also, as others have mentioned, a bit of on how to configure the .env file and other modifications to the docker-compose.yml is always a good idea to make sure people that may not be as tech savvy have some idea on how to troubleshoot. For example, in the .env file the instructions on the ‘App URL’ are clear to me, and evidently to you, but I know of many that would not be able to get it to work over a cloudflare tunnel, for example, only because they wouldn’t touch this part.
Just something to keep in mind.

- Comment on Ideon: I'm building a self-hosted project cockpit on an infinite canvas (v0.5 update) 4 weeks ago:
Take your time. It’s by no means a deal breaker. I’m sucked into self-hosting deep enough that I can keep what’s in Obsidian right now and just wait until I can move it to Ideon. It wouldn’t be the first time I have 2 services running in parallel until I figure out which one I’m keeping. Hell, I did that for almost a year when I was in Joplin and then decided to move to Obsidian.
As for the divorce, I don’t think it’s going to happen any time soon. She wanted to catch-up on Solo Leveling, so I joined her. I’ll spin up the server tomorrow when she leaves for work 🤣
- Comment on Ideon: I'm building a self-hosted project cockpit on an infinite canvas (v0.5 update) 4 weeks ago:
No, I said I wasn’t playing with my server this weekend. I promised my wife. She’ll get pissed.
I guess I’m getting a divorce 🤣
