Regarding Signal, Telegram, and WhatApp: 1. Never ever have Signal installed on the phone during border crossing. The presence of the app itself may trigger them (speaking from fir…

Yep, full agreement here. The amount of hoop-jumping is ridiculous. However, I live in Russia so I have to do all that, plus some more (e.g. the work to protect my own self-hosted …

There's no PIN for deleting a particular profile, but you can quickly delete it manually, assuming that you have some private time available – for example, when you are stopped at …

This is exactly my setup with GrapheneOS. The default / main profile is patriotic, with a sterilized Telegram account, state-adjacent banks and apps, etc. The second profile (that …

I had to migrate from Authy because it doesn't work on Graphene OS. Migrated to Ente Auth and couldn't be happier.

Russian here, a former Android and iPhone user. I had to switch to Graphene OS in full paranoid more due to our worsening situation regarding VPNs and phone searches. After about a…

'Pampers' and 'Xerox' in Russia.

This is fantastic. If I may ask, how did you do the environment models? Did you use textures and UV mapping? or just untextured models with a shader for the contours?

Finding out is not a problem. Fixing is.

This is magic. Just tried it, worked right away for me.

A newbie question: How does Nextcloud compare to Dropbox and Syncthing? Can it serve as a replacement / alternative to them?

I was a paid Kagi subscriber. I unsubscribed due to my temporary financial difficulties, but I'm resubscribing as soon as I'm able to afford expenses like this. I'm VERY happy with…

This is great, thank you. I have a Markdown file for Blender shortcuts I learned, but this seems to be more useful for remembering them. (BTW, found a typo: Seperate should be Sepa…

There's an upside to that: it's likely that in your environment such knowledge isn't necessary for everyday life.

Russian here. Just to give you an idea of how aware of VPNs the general public is: I have a friend, she's 30 and she's never been tech-savvy or nerdy. A typical stay-at-home single…

My last two episodes of such "superfocus" happened because the workloads I've been working on were essentially dopamine loops, not unlike playing Diablo or even a slot machine. The…

Just plain convenience and my laziness. Also, I'm not concerned about being prosecuted for the use of VPN (well, at least for now), I just want my Internet to work.
