Whats your such opinion
  • Ok thanks did not know that. But let's compare this against a better approach.

    Energy use for recycling

    Vs reuse

    Standardized bottle and jar sizes with pant ( not sure about en word, you pay a bit extra and get it back when returned) that instead of being melted down get a cleaned and reused.

    Sweden had a good system that's still works but not as good as it use to ( some types was removed and different sizes in use) but still have it for 33 cl bottles, as an example.

  • Laptop with long runtime
  • Haven't tried myself but looking at a Mac for next time. Seems to be great experience and hardware integration somewhat up to speed. GPU issue is tackled a while back. https://asahilinux.org/ https://macdailynews.com/2022/04/26/asahi-linux-on-an-apple-m1-mac-mini-is-unbelievably-fast/ the fedora version was launched a few months back so I assume there is a lot to do. But active development and usable

  • Laptop with long runtime
  • Apple. Can run bare metal Linux now

  • Whats your such opinion
  • Plastic recycling is the biggest scam of them all, they ship tonnes of it all over the world. PET gets "recycled" once. Ship around the world, Get some fleece clothes back which can't be recycled.

    For non plastic:

    Most my packaging materials are going in the fireplace. That way a get energy back.

    instead of A, clean it with hot water using energy B, getting in my car driving to recycle center using energy C, have it shipped to a recycling plant,other side of the world or whatever. Using energy from oil.

    Material for paper can be made co2 neutral. Organic waste , sure just compost it.

    Metalls yea here we have something we're it's great to recycle.

    Glass. Meh just heated sand. But old glass needs to be disposed of somewhere so yea it is a point in recycle it.

    What should be done is reuse and not using materials I can't recover energy at home from. That's a heck of a lot better.

    Glass bottles that gets refilled is a great example. Other good ideas is to repair instead of throwing a way stuff. True for everything from cars to laptops.

    From a capitalists view recycling means (to a certain extent) free labour, raw materials and transports.

    Reusing and repairs means less sales.

  • Whats your such opinion
  • Recycling is for most parts a scam

  • mayo
  • Well , thing is its different to hit downward from a pile of corpses, history and current rascist hegomony and not doing it.

  • A question about secure chats
  • https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-does-beeper-connect-to-encrypted-chat-networks-like-imessage-signal-whatsapp

    So yea a bit of trust put in beeper. Matrix bridge and self host is as I said better.

    This is easy. For services that's not so good to start with , like SMS , WhatsApp etc.

    For sensitive stuff i use signal with a fake number. Or other channels.

  • A question about secure chats
  • My way around the issue with the app and its collection is :

    1. Install in a separate profile with empty everything. (So they get an empty contact list)
    2. Install beeper in a different profil and connect WhatsApp to beeper.
    3. Remove all permissions from WhatsApp. There if I need to reconnect sometime.

    Oh and using fake number is also a good idea. And yes not as good as selfhosting I know. Signal is an option if you can get them to switch. Telegram is crap.

  • Love it , wouldnt work where i live , no flat roads. , Would be a new extreme sport going downhill though :) but I think I am gonna go for the one in the comments perhaps https://hackaday.io/project/180836-desk-ercising-with-the-exer-desk

  • Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?
  • I had an old windows AME install on a separate drive I forgot about. Updated grub in peppermint (Debian) voila all of the sudden my windows was added , no fuss at all. Simple nowadays

  • Privacy benefits of Custom roms
  • Lineage does not have any special privacy features besides not having gapps. You can use Microg for a balance between privacy and convenience.

    Use aurora store and don't login with any account. You will need the lineage for microg version or root to get it working

  • What is the most exotic meat you've eaten? How was your experience?
  • Yea that's right , guinea pigs the right word , in some European languages Marsvin (sea pig)

  • Young drunk and punk. Just a very small price of my ear :) kind of a check this out guys .... Haha

  • Pls help I downloaded a Chinese app, and Xi Jinping is inside my phone
  • Sure , not using a phone is of course the best option. If that is an option. For most people, activist or criminals of any kind. Not usually an option.

    You can at least verify the Foss code. Or trust the people that verify it.

  • Pls help I downloaded a Chinese app, and Xi Jinping is inside my phone
  • True that for just using a sim card less phone.

    However

    GOS airplane mode disable any connection to the cellular network. If I'm wrong if love to hear some evidence to the contrary.

  • Cuy , a large hamster rodent. Better than rabbit. In Bolivia.

    I don't remember the name but fried ants and spiders in laos .

    Surströmming , fermented herring In Sweden. Properly served it's great.

    Alligator, crocodile pretty ok.

    Just to say I have eaten long pig. I cut off a piece of myself and ate it.

    Bear sausage ,reindeer ,elk,deer etc..

    Most seafood, shark , crawfish .

    Callos ( not recommended )

    Someone mention beef tounge , smoked and thinly sliced on a sandwich is great if you don't overthink it :)

  • Smart android keyboard respecting privacy?
  • I'm not sure it does , however you could just change DNS to DNS.adguard.com for that :)

  • Smart android keyboard respecting privacy?
  • Np, Yea , unfortunately only one VPN at a time.

  • inviZible pro , opinions?

    Just happen to see this. Sounds interesting. Anyone used it? I don't like the salepitch but more info on GitHub. https://github.com/Gedsh/InviZible

    What would the downside beside speed be in comparison with paid VPN and no root?

    Feature request payment to devs

    Just a thought in relation to the debate of payment models used in Foss an closed code projects that got going with the sync app (and elsewhere).

    So I donate now and then to projects I like. I realised it was a while since last time.

    Ok so who did I sent to last time? How did I send it , it was like 2 different crypto some PayPal and something else I think?

    I will have to check every single project used to see how to send , how to separate donations and actually remember everything.

    What would be ideal , check in on F-droid , select from my list of installed apps , add a few non-android projects I also want to donate to. Selecta sum , single or recurring. Pay one sum and have it split between projects.

    Seems like there would be plenty of incentive for this to be made to reality ?

    Perhaps some other solution out there I haven't heard of?

    router choice 4g

    My current router is a teltonika 950 . I bought it for use in a campervan but sold the van and kept the router. I have an extension to use one of the antennas outside my window.

    4g coverage is spotty , forget about 5g.

    loved and praised this router until they decided after 2 years to not update it. Never buying a teltonika again.

    I have proton VPN.

    I would like to have a setup with 3 different settings . One guest net with VPN and ad/malware block . 2 private with same settings. And 3 non VPN for use for work ( has it own VPN) .

    Looking at GL inet routers. A good choice? Can I combine my current T950 with one of the cheaper glinet ones? Thing is I live in a country that it's illegal to get a anon SIM card so I think keeping the teltonika and connect a glinet one to it? Ideas?

    android auto , is it even possible?

    So I have an extra pixel phone to use exclusively for the car. I've read somewhere that it can be done as an graphene build including AA. However does it really work? Bonus question . Wife is in love with Spotify , can it be used with any other app that does not report everything? Tested it out on rooted stock but blocking different trackers and endpoints crashes the app. Google got location from it in 2 sec

    cloudflare explain it like I'm 5

    So Cloudflare MtM for websites which logs ip . Bad

    But doesn't everyone log IP ? If not cloudflare then the hosting company? Aren't this a client side issue ? I.e use a VPN.

    What would be an option to cloudflare? Existence of any hosting provider that is a good option? Looking at moving to githubpages once my paid hosting expires in a year

    How will Wei and cloudflare happen/do/enforce?
