Dental plan

Of course it did 🙄.

Great News 👏👏👏

I use a real sounding name like luis.m.donovan1962@gmail.com

The more real it appears the harder it is to distinguish garbage data. Also a personal VPN with aguard home running. If I end up choosing a real existing email, well I’m just helping muddy the profile of someone else.

No shopping apps ever, loyalty cards in a fake name with email aliases to a central junk mailbox.

To hell with the lot of them and their business model.

They can profile the device and get hardware info depending on make and software etc but the gold is their app which sucks up everything including your phone number and what you visit on their network. I wouldn’t dream of connecting without a vpn unless it was an emergency situation.

That being said data is always preferable when you have the option.

This is the way. Fuck them.

Curious to see what it can emulate with the new specs. I have the steam deck now but the form factor or the pi was always nice.

Only when there is a real need . Debian runs on everything and it is a no nonsense distro so I’ve been happy with that for years… Started on Debian 6 and continued until now on laptops servers and SBCs. Before that it was Ubuntu and crunchbang for a few years and before that was fedora core that came on like 6 cds with KDE3.

At this point the only interesting thing for me are security changes. Games are largely sorted due to wine , proton and vulkan and all of the great work going on there.

I keep and eye on quebesOS , NixOS, silverblue ,subgraphOS and openBSD and alpine.

The dream OS would be hardened by default. Hardened Kernel with ACLs for everything defined by default. Like each app should be required to list all of the files it accessed and the type of access in a manifest, list permissions it needs and of URLs it accesses. Obviously there is a need for some wildcard stuff but it could be limited in scope. More of the kernel in rust would be nice with legacy systems removed to reduce the technical debt.

I know we have apparmor and selinux and pax/grsec (if you pay) but I think they dont scale well and require a massive investment in time to understand and debug.

About three fiddy

Vulkan / DXVK

Wayland

They can all go suck a lemon. Shell , coke , nestle , google, Microsoft, Netflix and rest. Fuck the lot of them

7z usually.

Sorry for your loss. ❤️

Their pricing is ridiculous.

Sounds like some journey. Do you have any specific memories that stand out during your travels ?

I’d try each application one by one. Maybe write a script to monitor load and stop the program if it goes past your desired threshold and notify you.

It could also be a setting in some app like photoprism or immich … I think one of them uses tensorflow to classify images. That would increase the load if thats running in the background.

Maybe try them with an empty directory so there is no data to process and see if you encounter the error. Then add some data and see how the load is.

If it doesn’t have to be a TV but just a screen a monitor may be an option. Otherwise I’d look at eBay or something like that where people are selling old ones.

Regularly delete stuff, you dont want your sd card popped out and accessed. The devices are encrypted but the sd card is not … At least my device doesn’t have that option. I also ensure I have backed up my 2FA codes if the phone is lost or stolen, you dont want to be locked out of your accounts. freeOTP+ allows you to export them.

I used to cover them camera with tape but I have to many signal video calls for that to be workable.

I’ll stick to signal
