This can easily be achieved with most any Android phone.

• Switch to a degoogled OS like GrapheneOS or LineageOS
• Install a minimalist launcher (there are dozens)
• install CoMaps for private gps and navigation
• use whatever chromium browser comes on the phone or install a privacy browser like Firefox (again, there are dozens)
• add a notes app (there are dozens)

There are also mesh systems that are worth looking into, if it’s possible to get access to the hardware for communication that is potentially harder for the government to track.

I’m not sure of the details about the situation in Iran, but from my understanding, it seems that it would be much safer to set up a server outside the country that’s run by you and others inside the country. It’s fairly easy to set up virtual private servers, although you may need to arrange payment outside the country.

That would be much safer than hosting it with the physical infrastructure inside your borders. If you’re hosting the physical infrastructure, it makes it much easier to locate. If the server is not in Iran, then it may be difficult or impossible for the government to seize it and access the contents.

There are people on this site who are far more expert than I when it comes to network security. Follow their feedback and you may even find someone willing to partner with you to help set it up.

Several commentators said this was the plan all along. Before the IPO, many people speculated that the outrageously high valuation was designed so that current shareholders could sell of stock and make up for their losses in Twitter, etc. They predicted an early spike and a quick sell-off accompanied by a massive drop.

Where did that money come from? A lot of it came from public pensions (specifically index funds), which are required to hold a certain amount of all listed public stocks.

Part of what caught my attention is a feature that the current version removed with a note that it was being re-worked for the next release. It has been reliable for me, but there is also regular activity in the bug reports.

Tempus is phenomenal. I switched to navidrome on my server to use it. Chora is also good, and I use it on my TV (works well on any screen). If you don’t mind closed-source, Symphonum is excellent.

If you are using Jellyfin, it works well on PC, with Fintunes on mobile.

You can find a number of good apps for navidrome here. I quite like Strawberry, which is cross-platform. I use it locally for library management.

I connect everything with Tailscale, which may or may not work on your work network, depending on how locked down the network is. I never had an issue.

Like I said, it’s rational, but people are not rational. Not sure why people are downvoting it if they all agree.

Lots of NYC mayors have tried to pivot directly to national politics without success. The rest of the country will just see “mayor” and think about their little town without understanding how massively different it is.

Every president since Kennedy has served as a senator or governor.

Edit: thanks

New York mayors always think that the size of their constituency and budget puts them on the same stage as governors and senators. It’s a rational thought, but people are not rational.

Yep, everyone looses except for the Supreme Leader and his IRGC thugs.

The cycle of enshitification is complete.

They realized they could stay a profitable company as a hardware company. Unfortunately, they would only continue to make money and not make more and more money. So they switched from a hardware company to a content company because line go up.

This is from the same developer. A focus is on short form video.

No problem. By the way, this is a HUGE improvement over dawarich IMO. On my system, it just works extremely smoothly and connecting it with other services worked seamlessly.

I’m now using OwnTracks on mobile, and it was easy to connect to Immich and see my photos on the timeline. This is great! Thanks for sharing it.

Home Assistant isn’t FOSS? How?

I’m trying this out right now. I’ve been using dawarch but it still has some ironing out to do.

FYI, the wget command pulled the github web page HTML where the file is hosted instead of the file itself. Weird. Easy fix but I’m guessing that’s a GitHub issue.

Do not pass Go.

Euro-Office and OnlyOffice don’t “only support” OOXML. Where did you get that idea?

And not every software developed in Russia is “riddled with Russian spyware.” The code is open so where do you suppose all this supposed spyware is hiding? Or is that just fear-mongering?

I’d love for LibreOffice to do a serious modernization to be a viable alternative. But for most users, it feels like a downgrade whether or not it is technically better under the hood. I use OnlyOffice these days even though it has a lot more bugs because the UX is just that much better in spite of it.
