Oh yeah totally. But while one could argue we are owed security, we are not owed updates. (And when we do, they’re offered to us via “buy another phone”, such is Capitalism).

¿??? it’s not like you’re going to be able to autism at a -0.0002dB disparity on the trumpets channel with those audio chips, why not just store the files there as opus or MP3 for ~6x more capacity? (not to mention faster overall reads)

Security is not a state but a scale, and is gauged against everything else.

From the perspective of a privacy / security zealot, a smartphone is SOL as soon as they lave the factory, as not only not even OTA updates keep them safe (and you can argue that with some manufacturers such as Samsung, OTA does is the primary risk vector!) but they can eg.: ship with unfixable vulns at the hardware level that would lead to ditch the whole thing anyway.

So long as there isn’t something like a state-funded program for citizens to renew their phones every ~2 years for fully open ones, I’d not worry much. After all, the other option would be not using a phone because current ones are a PITA and just as vulnerable from the other end.

I can’t see any of the graphs. The show as a black box.

This despite disabling Canvas Blocker on the page for testing. According to my briwser, loading the resources from “cdn.jsdelivr.net” is blocked due to a CORS failure.

Aren there by any chance image dumps of the charts in any normal graphics image format? Or even jpeg-xl, for variety.

My primary phone belongs to my work.

So it’s not yours. Looks from here that’s the one issue you have to solve before everything else.

No one says you have to upgrade your phone OS to the latest Android. You can just keep using the Android (and/or Custom ROM) that works.

Nice try, fed.

Some of the best stuff in the world looks like it’s 20 years past a prime that isn’t, because they’re truly good eternal.

Yes.

ICANN approves use of .awesome-selfhosted domain for your network

To be fair it’s 2024 and I’m still doing this, because adding an alternate location to install flatpaks in results in Flatseal not being able to detect those apps or edit those permissions. Just setting the default location as a symlink to where I want to magically fixes everything.

This is potterdung’s ultimate plan.

Because I left Windows precisely to avoid the kind of shittery that systemd is doing.

It’s absolutely no coincidence that the people who have developed the stuff that’s brought the most degradation to Linux - systemd, PulseAudio, Gnome’s “user has no right to themes” attitude - all come from a Microsoft background or explicitly work for Microsoft.

I’d have far less of a problem if systemd was split into more practical, actually independent things that actually worked and distros didn’t buy their snake oil so easily. But for the time being, to me, the systemd experience is pretty much like the PulseAudio experience, what with the whole “waiting 120 seconds for a network interface to activate that it’s not going to because it’s the damn ethernet port and I’m on the road so the cable is not connected, stupid letter-potter dipshit”.

Hmmm maybe that’s the one that tries to do everything on its own instead of using the stuff I’ve already set up. Had similar issues with eg.: Nextcloud.

I’ve been looking for an alternative “the actual XMPP service only, nothing else that can be sourced by the host” container setup but there doesn’t seem to be any.

You can, but honestly no idea how to handle stuff like the certs from that point on. Most other software on docker lets me eg.: just bind-mount the host’s directory with the certs I want to use - or just not even know about SSL in the first place and just let me reverse-proxy the access in (like, say, a simple static page web server).

But, like I said, the last times I tried to get into it, it tried its darnest to get in my way. If that’s changed since then, that’d be great.

While I like it conceptually, the two times I tried to install it I felt it was far too opinionated for me to get it to work correctly, like other software “bundles” of its kind that want to take control of the entire process of setting up ports, networking, storage, certificates etc…, instead of just hanging down from stuff that I have already prepared for it (like my own domain with my own cert).

Like, as a piece of software it’s something I’d absolutely use… if someone else sets everything up for me.

Isn’t that just chroot?

Joke’s on them, I use emacs as an OS.

I need to edit text files over SSH tho, haven’t been able to find a good text editor…
