Welcome to the realities of our great and glorious IoT future! These devices are the next frontier in data collection, and it's a grueling privacy nightmare.

I've focused on IoT-devices that uses the ZigBee-protocol, which can be integrated directly (trough a ZigBee controller of your choice, like deConz) into HA without the need of any proprietary hubs. Luckily IKEAs IoT-devices (primarily

I have played around the last few months with HA to cover my IoT-needs, and it's the only option if you want to avoid vendor lock-in and fragmented, expensive and often insecure ecosystems. It is a joy to use and everything works perfe

I have waited on this phone since I pre-ordered it in 2017. Worth the wait and I'm happy to have contributed financially to all the hard work that has been put into making a much better linux experience on mobile devices in general, no

Does this work with transparency? Would be nice with a watermark indicating sleep state, but still being able to see the content.

You have to enable it explicitly. There are also several third party tools for offline syncing, and there is always the option to SSH into the device and do whatever you want.

Do give KDE a try. I recently helped a friend migrate from Windows 10 to KDE. I have personally been using i3, XFCE and GNOME back and forth during the last decade, and the one time I tried KDE a few years back, it did not boot to desktop s

I think this is for the "read later"-functionality only. Also, it's a hackable device with SSH access as an official feature.

This is really fascinating. I dug around a bit to see if I could find a digital copy of the article you mentioned. The Norwegian National Library have an impressive archive of scanned books and newspapers going back hundreds of years, but a

This explains a lot. Anger and desperation is the only logical outcome when almost half the nation is living in (or at the edge) of poverty.

It's only partly open sourced, the premium features are closed (open-core in other words). Also, Open Project is a fork of Redmine. I evaluated both a while ago, and Open Project differs in two ways: fancier design and a broader scope.

I have often heard from non-arch users that they perceive arch as too unstable to be used as a daily driver, but as a long time arch user (~8yrs) I have never experienced any disruptive events. I can imagine problems arising when using cert

You should take a look at the ReMarkable tablet :)

Since the remarkable tablets features native SSH access, there is an active and growing community that makes really great software for these tablets. There is already quite a few local-first solutions which makes it possible to avoid the cl

The community around the ReMarkable tablet has made a couple of solutions that makes it possible to use it as a second screen [0], and you could also replace the stock OS with Parabola-rM [1], a linux distro optimized for the ReMarkable. It

Speaking of unfortunate naming: 'bash' is pronounced exactly like the Norwegian word 'bæsj', which also means shit/poop. This has been the cause of some hilarious situations where non-technical people have overhear

To your second point: I find that I can be passionate about almost any problem that needs solving, but only if I manage to sufficiently immerse myself in that challenge. This is where the struggle is at for me, to keep my focus on a task lo

This is a great point. At the same time I observe a night and day difference in how some people close to me behaved before and after they had access to Facebook and Youtube. Pre-social media I could have a long and rather nuanced discussion

Yeah, I'm not that far from 40 myself and having grown up in a charismatic church in the 90ies, I sure remember the scare around heavy metal (or any rock for that matter) and that most things in fact was satanic. Fun times. This docudr

Yeah, I was quite surprised by this historically incorrect analogy when I saw the film, but this does not invalidate many of the other good points that was made. Every argument should be evaluated on its own merit.

This film was not made for you. Techies like us have been up to speed on these topics for years, but most people have not. Many people might have a creeping feeling that something is wrong in the world of social media, but almost none under

Your experience exemplifies one of the problems with social media: the radically different information diet served to different users. All of the platforms you mentioned can be profoundly political and filled with extreme content, depending

I started that tread because I was genuinely interested in peoples opinions on the film, especially the ones connected to that industry. Looking back at the answers I got, there was remarkably few comments from the latter.
