    Also signed up. They can have my phone number. What are they going to do with it? Target advertising at me? To be honest, I'm a bit past caring about companies selling my data. The…

    Essentially yes. I guess in a similar way US companies are required to care about GDPR, if they want to operate in other regions. There's a bit more info here: https://www.copyrigh…

    Nice try, Cloudthread. Yes, the design is fairly generic but if you can't see that someone ripped off someone here then you must be trying a bit too hard to not see it.

    I've been using protonmail as my mail email service for probably close to 6 years. Earlier iterations of the UI were obviously basic but it's perfectly functional now and works ver…

    Monstrous? It couldn't be any more simple, if you even have to go through the process of setting up PHP. Hosting options that support PHP are two a penny, probably literally.

    I don't know if it differs from various vendor releases of android but certainly on my Samsung S20, QR codes can be read without an additional app just by pointing the camera app a…

    Love the concept of that but you'd have to have children's hands to play it. I can only see frustration and the thing being thrown across the room if I had one.

    I like this project a lot and am inspired to do something similar. I'm a liveaboard boater in the UK, I have a 55 foot narrowboat with 350w of solar on the roof and a 550ah battery…
