Not my phone.

Yes! I just heard of this recently. I hope it catches on.

No radio ability to connect to cell towers or WiFi would be nice. I think there’s a brand doing this, but I forgot to read that article I saw about it just a day or two ago.

Quiet part out loud used to be career ending.

Fine. Forget about it.

Looks very cool

Life is strange was a fun series for me and my SO. We’re glass we played the oldest ones first, too.

Do you like civilization or other “builder/planner” style games, like Cities Skylines, or Surviving Mars. Raji was kind of fun and laid back, too.

Mtalk was definitely needed for my web version, but I’m blocking all mtalk FQDNs and my apps still work.

My app required these to work

And nothing of value was lost. I’m over social media, over commercial apps, and maybe I’m over having a mobile phone, too.

Plex stopped being useful to me in 2019. At the time I had only about 300 movies and the same number of TV episodes. The database kept getting corrupt, causing long load times of video info pages, or perpetual spinning progress indicator. After fixing the database (and losing all watch metadata each time) three times in one year, I moved to a plain file share served from the NAS with Kodi running on my Nvidia Shield.

In seven years, Kodi’s local DB has never corrupted. I now have 900+ movies and 2500 TV episodes. I can handle any file type, any video CODEC, can play thousands of games from the internet game library. The DB can be easily backed up and imported into a new install if needed.

And the best part? I didn’t pay anyone to access any of the media I own, and no corpo gets access to my library or watch history.

Forget Plex.

Pedantic comment of the day

as residential networks are want to do

The word you’re thinking of is “wont” pronounced the same as “want,” which makes it pretty confusing for anyone who might not have read it before, but only heard it spoken.

😂

You can’t make this stuff up.

A service requiring users to upload verifiable identification info, created and staffed by literal government spooks. And – what?!? – they’re using said data inappropriately?

You’re right, but if they have your password manager, they likely have your phone, and that means they have your Aegis too.

Still, my suggestion is less of a second factor unless you have 2fa on your keypass, so not best practice.

Keepass can replace Aegis for TOTP

That really is nice, right? I also like when my apps have no mechanism to connect to the internet, so you don’t have to worry about trackers, data exfiltration, etc.

I was fed formula. I have no allergies.

We are in agreement
