Perhaps Blink Shell + an EC2 instance or a digital ocean droplet? You also get Vim and a full linux system. This is what I do

I've been wanting to set up https://git.zx2c4.com/PhotoFloat/about/ Photoprism/Lychee/similar options don't really appeal to me because they involve a bunch of moving pieces. I wan…

It's a proprietary note ecosystem, so if you ever try to leave (or not use iCloud, which iOS/macOS note syncing depends on), it will be very difficult to regain control of your not…

Yeah I mean a prepaid SIM + top up with cash is It just feels like they're taking advantage of people. Although now that I think about it I wonder how they do E911? Sounds like a l…

As a few others have pointed out I'm not sure I buy the privacy argument here (although there is very little to go on on the linked page..) Having your phone radio on at all (even …

That's pretty accurate. Some stuff is encrypted with the device passcode like Health data and Keychain data. Around iOS 9 [1], Apple implemented some functionality to encrypt backu…

> Interesting how you are sending SMS with different caller-ID based on contacts, but I am curious - without a VOIP dialer, can you place voice calls from your native dialer with d…

Hijacking here, I use a similar setup and the fees are way less than my Telco plan. Standard telco is basically only worth keeping for the Data plans.

Neat! I have a similar setup, except a little more native support because of Twilio Wireless (not sure if you know about this? https://www.twilio.com/wireless ) I have the Twilio S…

Can you provide more info on this Twilio mini-telco? I’ve been working on something similar to work around the lack of well supported libraries for telephony

I have the X1C. Little thing I noticed about the matte IPS screen (which I selected for outdoor usage much like you said) is that the screen goes black when I wear my sunglasses wi…

Spotify has a linux client that runs on electron. The Librem 5 runs a full Debian OS. So you should be able to run electron on it without any issues.

There are also a ton of CLI tools to generate TOTP if thats what you're using authy for. https://github.com/WhyNotHugo/totp-cli

Yeah, years ago. Nothing new here. Running "exiftool FB_IMG" would reveal the same "structural abnormality" (not an abnormality though because its part of the valid IIM block of th…

Wow that fossil is huge! And so well preserved... What a cool find.

The paradox here is pretty difficult to break down because it its function and causes are so intertwined with everything in "industrialized Western society" as the above comment ma…

I am pretty convinced that this greatly degrades audio quality on my aux headphones. Bluetooth quality is normal, but with this cable, I can hear the difference. When plugged into …

fascinating. thanks!

Why on earth would it run java?

Is a policy which discriminates against cash usage the best way to screen against the "behavior" of being dirty/smelly? Why not just ask him to leave if he loiters too long? Instea…

Who said this person hasn't bathed in months? I have to challenge your claim of it being fine to want "pleasantness" or "standards" in a public space. 60 years ago, pre civil right…

I am very shocked. I really like Joe & the Juice. This story warrants a boycott, if it is credible.

finally! been waiting forever for this on my WQHD thinkpad with wayland edit: good post and discussion here https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3....

Last I used libspotify on Linux it still worked, but yes, official support has been withdrawn. It was a hassle to get it working, so yeah it was far from perfect. I found no soluti…
