We only wash the bed linnen and then hang it out to dry (mynwife hates a dryi r, we got rid of it more them 15y ago). When making the bed, bottom and top are fitted around the matress in 1 go (I’m to lazy to lift the matress twice).

What helps here is to start reading. Most of the times I wake up with a book open, as I manage distract my mind from random thoughts.

Thanks, looks like I need to start saving, my Nokia 6.1 with Lineage will probably need replacing withing a year or 2.

Nice to read your experience with the fairphone. We’re looking at it as well. It’s expensive, but can at least be repaired when something breaks. I’m curious aboutt the custom roms though, as they are my main requirement, next to costs of max €100 per expected year of usability. (And as phone, it should be usable for a while)

UTC is most universal, as it’s kinda constant (by lack of/knowing a better word). GMT has DST, so that time changes twice a year, UTC is used as base for all timezones, no matter if and when they have DST.

In the military Zulu is used as name for UTC.

Same here, especially as it was the Samsung S2 of my employer.

However, when you don’t try (prefferably on an expendable device) you never learn.

To nit-pick a tad more, when they have access to my key and have my passphrase so they can sign with it…

That’s why you set the passphrase on keys, gpg, ssh,… Never use a encryption without a key. That way you need posession (key) and knowledge (passphrase) to identify yourself. When you use ssh, use the ssh agent, when you have automated login which would be better to use without keyphrase, use a different pair (specify wuth -i option) and limit access with that to a fixed ip.

And always protect your key. No cloud backup…

Edit: GPG keys also can be signed. Not by specific companies (there is probably a service for that, but it’s not by design), but by other people knowing each other. That way you have a trust based on who knows who, not who has more cash…

Same with ssh keys, you can sign those as well and set sshd to accept anybody with a certificate signed by ‘x’ to access the server on the same account name the cert was issued for.

GPG signatures are set by the sender to prove the message is originating from the sender and is unchanged. It’s signed with the private key and verified with the public key.

It is in no way a method to verify if the information is correct or rubbish. I can tell you the earth is flat and sign it, but all you know on verifying the signature is that the info was unaltered, not if it’s correct or not.

Some external group doing a terrorist attack? Nah, they don’t need to. The US can attack themselves easily and will. With the coming high court ruling coming about Trump being withheld from voting slips (correct term? Not being alowed to be on the list during election) will be a huge thing. Either the very conservative judges he appointed will rule he incited a riot and should not be allowed in office again (according to the intention of article 14 of the US constitution, which those judges say they adhere), or they will say it’s not up to us.

In the 1st case, the Trump adepts will start the 2nd civil war, in the 2nd case, who knows. Leaving it to the states could result in problems in some.

However you look at it, the USA is on it’s way to a massive implosion. With a destabalised political system like that, which state needs enemies. No real democratic system has only 2 parties.

Welcome and have fun.

I just updated to Magisk 27 as well and saw strange behaviour as well, TZ reset to UTC (I’m in CET), permissions revoked for apps,… Also it required to reinstall to optimize for my device (usually this is only on a clean install).

I’d advice to check your wifi settings. Maybe ot reset the mac you use. (I use device mac at home and random everywere else)

I tend to limit myself to max €100 per expected year of use. It’s just a phone to me. My Nokia 6.1 was €300 and is still working. Main requirement is the availability of an alternatuve rom for it.

He doesn’t care about his car, so why should he care about somebody else’s property? Way to many people think like this, that’s why they fail the shopping cart test.

I can imagine. I have all films on LaserDisc. (At least those that got released)

Yep, the pin is removed. There are tools to act as pin available. (Nails for one)

In the US and other countries you can lock the noozle and fill up without holding the hoze. In EU you need to hold the hoze to fill up or press a button when you need LPG. It’s pretty hard to forget something when you’re standing next to it. (And still some people manage to do just that)

my yaris is 20 years old, and it shows no signs of wear. that thing will last another 30-40 years if i wanted to keep it for that long. My previous car was a Volvo 740 from '86. (Alas totalled by a brand new VW Polo in '18) Totally mechanical apart so it could have lives a lot longer when the body wasn’t to deformed after the impact. The current one is an '03 S80. I doub’t it’ll live that long with all the electronics in it, but it’s on the right track.

also, i think fairphones seriously have a chance of surviving for that long, since the battery is easily replaceable. it being made during the phone spec plateau also helps. I still have loads of old Nokias, still working apart from the 2G network being dismantled. (so no coverage). I hope the fairphones last that long, as I’m planning to get me one when this Nokia 6.1 dies on me.

WTF would you rely on tiktok/facebook for something (or anything)?

I rely on my phone to be able to call somebody (or emergency services) when I need to, I rely on my transport to get me where I need to go and I rely on the grocery stores to provide food (alas, garden is not ig enough to grow it myself)

Anything on internet is optional, very entertaining and fun, but optional.

America is not even my country, so yeah, bad and bad, as both are not companies from my country. (and even companies from here would be bad, my data, hands off)

Good analogy, but alas, both are to be avoided like the plague, covid,…
