  • Yeah, it'd be a live monitoring footprint limited to, say, wherever you have/bring a personal device plus maybe wherever there's a wifi network it knows. But you'd be able to see where the tag was when it last pinged you, so you could return to that location to search for it and get a more accurate location fix.

    The only case my example doesn't cover is if a third party moves the tag away from your typical footprint and networks.

  • I don’t want an even higher level spyware device.

    but I use [...] AirTags regularly

    Hmm...

    It might be time to move on from the mass-surveillance-on-every-single-device style of object location tracking.Are there localising/tracking bluetooth tags available which only connect to your network/devices?

  • There are packages in the normal repositories; no need to use AUR:

    https://packages.cachyos.org/?search=jellyfin

    ...although I do notice there's no jellyfin-web package (which is avaiable in archlinux).

    As a rule, using AUR has caveats. We'd also need to know which AUR packages you are using to give advice there.

  • Could federated social media networks enhance cooperative behavior between everyone, relative to both insular and massively popular services?

  • It's not a headline; I'm posing the question, written in this post title. (Perhaps I should have included the video link in the body rather than url field.)

  • FOSS call recorder for android?

    Jump

  • A few years ago I was using "Call Recorder" which seemed good at the time, but right now hasn't had any work done on it since 2023.

    It was on f-droid, but the author threw a tantrum at f-droid about donations.

  • Trollies are usually plastic-coated. If you're gonna do this please burn it off first with a nice hot fire, then scrub off all the plastic residue before cooking food on it.

    If it's tin- or zinc-plated you run the risk of metal fume fever if you breathe the fumes, but once-off it's probably not much of a hazard. Unless it's cadmium plated (peculiar yellowish hue), in which case the fumes and residue are quite hazardous.

    It's also worth bringing a spanner to remove the castors – they're usually decent quality and can be used for better purposes than a shopping trolley.

    Not sure if any of this advice transfers with the programming analogy.

  • What is smart to use as messenger? Briar, SimpleX or XMPP?

    Jump

  • Huh, first I've seen that writeup. First in-depth well-reasoned set of criticisms I've read on the XMPP+OMEMO setup, which is my goto and usual recommendation (and what I still find most power-efficient on a degoogled phone, most usable and reliable despite its stagnation).

    Gives a good overview of the accumulated technical debt/chaos beneath the surface. Really hope that conversations and omemo can sort out their mess, or that other clients like kaidan can rise up and push omemo forward, because xmpp itself has been a solid foundation.

  • Terms of service tracker?

  • Good actually user friendly foss chat app?

  • Conversations is excellent for XMPP, but only available on android.

    For iOS/MacOS Monal, for iOS Siskin, for Linux/Windows Gajim.

  • ThinkPad

    Jump

  • The replacement battery you bought in 2017 was the last of the genuine stock for that 2012 Thinkpad model. Now it's only poor quality aftermarket. Maybe just stick with the existing genuine battery -- its 47 second runtime should be enough time for AC loss to trigger a custom script to make it hibernate.

  • Whittaker's phrasing is ambiguous. Could be read as expressing one of a number of things:

    • The paper/article is misleading and distracting from meaningful threats to privacy.
    • That the original tweet is using misleading accusations to distract us from the article's revelations of meaningful threats to privacy.
    • That Appelbaum's authorship of the research is an unwanted negative association which undermines the attention deserved by the threats documented in the paper which are misleadingly justified as necessary by eg. governments.

    It's difficult to know without a better understanding of Whittaker's position on the various matters at hand, so I don't know.
