Lame. 45 days? 10 days for DCV? How common are exploits involving old certificates anyway? And automated cert management is just another exploit target. Do they seriously think an attacker who pwns a server can’t keep the automatic renewals running?

I’d consider the server first. If the person you’re emailing uses Gmail, then Google already has the contents, so privacy on the client doesn’t help much.

Get a USB hub (7 port is common), plug the USB drives in, then run a script that copies the iso to one drive after another. USB itself sucks enough that trying to do them in parallel is likely asking for trouble.

I’ve never felt the need for it and didn’t know what it was til just now. dd’ing image files to USB drives has worked fine for me.

Unihertz Tank 2? I sort of want one of those. The Doogee’s battery isn’t especially above average these days. The Motorola budget phone I use now has 5000 mah.

Hard to see why to get this over a more mainstream phone where you can at least hope the software is not too flaky. Unihertz has some phones with special hardware features like tiny size or huge batteries. Doogee has had some of those phones but this one is just normal, 5100mah presumably non removable battery. Ok 20gb ram, but who cares? No price mentioned.

Doogee, make a phone with removable 18650s and I’ll pay attention. Or a phone that runs GrapheneOS out of the box, or anything interesting like that. This isn’t it.

Here’s a more informative article with a link to the paper, which is in a Chinese journal. The link doesn’t open for me rn but it’s a start.

I’ll see if I can try that stuff in the next few days but it’s my old phone that I don’t use much anymore.m, and I have some RL stuff going on. Thanks. Yes it is Android 7 for sure.

Thanks, that is helpful. Have you tried building from source on the desktop? Right now I’ve only used the fdroid apk’s. It works on one of my phones (Android 14) but not on the other (Android 7).

I spent a few minutes looking for the research paper, no luck. But it doesn’t sound like something to worry about for now. D-wave isn’t a general purpose quantum computer anyway. You can’t run anything like Grover search on it.

Thanks, I see conversations on f-droid so will try it. I don’t see Dino there but that’s ok. I’ll look up what OEMO is.

XMPP does video chat, or at least voice? What clients do you recommend? Linux, android, and iphone are all of interest. Thanks.

Does termux not already do this?

Fully self driving too! Snerk.

Mxroute.com look for a discount offer since they have lots of good ones.

Try trail sense for some offline navigation stuff. It is on f-droid.

Um ok but is this really a big deal? Good sounding TTS is nice but crappy sounding TTS is good enough for most purposes and is fairly easy. Speech to text is way harder.

This is about the misdesigned power connectors on Nvidia graphics cards of a while ago. 12VHPR is 12 volt high power, a type of connector. I thought maybe it was a game.

The storage cost of their S3 doesn’t bother me that much. It’s the bandwidth cost that makes me cringe.

Storage Cloud is backed up nightly, though as you say it has occasional downtime. I have Storage Box which is not backed up, but it’s on raid 6, and so far I haven’t heard of data losses with it

They charge 1 euro/TB for bandwidth with this product. That really makes it near useless for various obvious applications. All their other server products have unlimited free bandwidth within the Hetzner network. For some reason, S3 providers like to charge for internal traffic and that means Hetzner’s other storage products look a lot better than S3.

There will also be an interesting incentive conflict if Nextcloud adds an S3 module sometime.
