Just record it and use a transcriber app. Then you can fully focus on the presentation and worry about notes later

The irony is brick was though of as cheap when buildings move to it, from traditional stone blocks. The term “oh, that’s so Redbrick”, was a slam against something that had become cheap or slummy
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 3 days ago:
If its a smart display of analog it could be the hand positions have preprogrammed locations and not that is an accurate and smooth transition between the actual progression.
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 3 days ago:
Growing up with only Analog, it just was a quick glance. You didn’t even have to stop and read it, because you glance and have a mental image of the hand positions that you could compare in your head.
Does your watch have clearly marked minutes and a second hand? If its not quite at the minute mark you know its before 9:23, but if its so close you can’t tell then the seconds hand will show you if its before or after the 60seconds spot.
But also, that’s how Analog is, and unless you have a very precise watch, a regular watch will gain or lose time daily and so the preciseness of 9:23 will be invalid anyway.

They always do Free consulting on air, so if your issue gets to them and they have a spot, you get a very very competant answer

A search says Oblivion adds on to WARP, giving you additional protocols, IP switching (instead of Cloudflare assigned), some addition tools, but biggest seems to be opensource, because official WARP is closed.

Heh, now I am. I don’t really have sympathy in this case, its a first world problem: I tattooed my whole face now I’m grumbling that facial recognition doesn’t work.

- Comment on Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was. 3 weeks ago:
One of my kids was doing that with password123 etc. I have explained how you may not care that your gym account gets hacked, its the fact that they will try those credentials with your bank account, etc.

This is accurate. I have a degoogled phone, no mainstream social media, and Linux OS. I have talked to my wife about the reason for my choices, so she is not ignorant about privacy or data gathering issues. She still uses Instagram and Facebook etc. And while she is a bit alarmed at bill C-2 being tabled in Canada (which would share Canadian private citizen info with the USA) I doubt she will think about it next week.

I couldn’t comment on them, I only have passes through the prairies, not enough knowledge to comment correctly

Each province is a bit different. Jere are my notes from being in several.
Alberta is an oil and gas province and has a lot of maga types, so we call it North Texas. To balance that comment, many Albertans are very friendly and outgoing.
British Columbia has more open minded people, and focus on clean environment, but it is expensive to live in BC. Vancouver is a cold (socially) city, people have established cliques and you will find the outgoing friendly people are immigrants from other countries or provinces.
Ontario has a lot of opportunity but each city can have a different feel. Avoid Windsor, even though it has cheaper housing than say Toronto, it is a blue collar town with many small minded people.
I’ve never had any issues with healthcare in any province. It’s been a great system, especially when I got cancer.

It’s possible there is dedicate system to do this, I haven’t researched it. But if not setting up syncthing would work. And if its a lot of data sync it local first then mail or drive the remote drive to them.

Elsewhere in China, phone inspections may not be standard but targeted. Although broader surveillance like the National Anti‑Fraud Center may be used.

People have said that is exactly what happens. Some had full phone scan, other requirement is installing a china app and keeping it on your phone for your stay
- Comment on Server access from China 4 weeks ago:
You have to install an app on your phone and keep it their during your visit. Some people said they had a full phone scan done on entry. Don’t bring your regular phone bring a burner and don’t login to any of your accounts
- Comment on What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside? 4 weeks ago:
Tailscale is great in that config is super simple. Downsides tailscale ssh has to be called at launch if you want ssh access over that network… Could be a benefit for security…however its a tailscale specific ssh and not everything is available.
Data servers moved to the USA a few ears back.Wireguard is more setup, but a better (self host option ). There is also Headscale if you want to selfhost a tailscale type server
- Comment on What are your VPN recommendations for accessing self-hosted applications from the outside? 4 weeks ago:
The only downside of Tailscale is a few years back they moved their data servers from Canada to the USA…so with the current administration this could become a privacy issue at some point
