As well as this, GrapheneOS also supports automatic rebooting for if your phone is taken by force. As once you’ve logged in from a cold boot, your data is in a vulnerable state where cops can access it without needing your passcode. With GOS, you can specify an amount of time for the phone to wait since the most recent login, and once that time has passed, it will automatically reboot the phone, placing your data back into the cold and secure state, so that the cops must then acquire your passcode from you, at which point you’d be able to give them the duress pin and ensure that the data is removed safely.

Yes.

I just got a 4k TCL QLED TV from Costco a couple months ago. Have been quite pleased with the image quality so far, but I keep it disconnected from the internet, and only use it with my nvidia shield running the projectivity launcher as the home screen to switch between smart tube, Plex, and steam link.

Not an ad in sight.

If the phone rings, by the time I get to it they’ve usually already hung up or reached voicemail, so I only end up answering if its important enough to call me twice.

Nextcloud.

Does everything from GSuite that I need it to, but without looking through everything I upload, and analyzing it for advertising and other purposes that I wouldn’t consent to.

I bought a new TCL TV recently. Stunning visuals for the price. But I had to jump through a load of unnecessary crap to keep it from phoning home, letting every tech company on the face of the planet know what I watch at 3am every morning before heading out to work.

Need to keep it disconnected from the internet, plugged into an Nvidia Shield that had the projectivity launcher installed alongside plex and steam link, and with a whitelist on my router preventing it from accessing anything other than my media server and linux pc, because that covers all I will ever use the TV for.

End result: a near dumb TV that is able to watch anything I want to watch, and play any game I want to play, but without all of the ads and tracking nonsense.

That’ll work too, along with any USB webcam

Raspberry pi and motioneyeOS. Getting to a state where you have a live view of the camera shouldn’t take more than an hour.

Ain’t that some Canadian bacon

If you’re tech-savvy, or willing to learn, A nextcloud instance would be my goto

If this is what’s scaring you about the death of liberty, then boy do I have a dumptruck full of passed acts and legislation that dwarfs this in comparison. Liberty died a long time ago.

First OS, WinXP.

Later when win7 was discontinued, I kept windows 10 on my desktop and Ubuntu on my laptop. It wasnt until Valve started working on proton and most of the games I play became playable on Linux that I ditched windows entirely.

I distrohopped around for a while, but always found myself landing back on Ubuntu, so it’s what I’ve stuck with to this day, although if anyone else asks me what distro they should get, I will usually recommend mint.

Oh, but they did.

It just doesn’t resemble the bourgeois ‘democracy’ we have in the west, but rather something else entirely that better fits the 'for the people, by the people, of the people" definition of democracy.

I’m willing to bet that some techbro either already has, or will in the near future propose an Ai toilet that will do something exactly this.

Lol. Lmao, even.

I’ve been loving Andy Weir’s space trilogy (The Martian, Artemis, Project Hail Mary). I haven’t been able to put his books down, and another one of his stories is currently in production for a film.

1000/1000, £25/mo. Plus an extra £5 which included some mesh AP’s and a static IP not behind a CGNAT.

Meanwhile, in the UK, our towns are completely flooded every couple of months

Yeah, there’s still plenty of issues I have with my framework laptop, but I’m ultimately happier with it than I would’ve been will Dell, Lenovo, Asus, etc.
