Severance is excellent, for all mankind was decent. Other ones I've watched were quitte bad indeed.

I like to use a single remote for both my TV and Kodi, and the raspberry pi has the CEC HDMI thing which makes it possibke. It's not that common in SBCs AFAIK.

Recently I booked a ticket on Ryanair. To validate my account I had to turn on my camera, hold my ID card, then do a bunch of things the machine asked me, like spin my head to the left, etc. Next-level reverse-Turing test there. It really f

https://github.com/slskd/slskd/ is another nice client that runs as a daemon, and hopefully one day it will integrate with lidarr < https://github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr/issues/444 >

> 2. Signal has sent legal threats to repositories that package Signal. The repos either need to confuse users by offering the client under other package names or remove it. Not that I really want to defend Signal (XMPP FTW!), but the le

Do you consider low-testo a problem in itself or did you find it to be the cause of a symptom you experienced?

Kafkaesque. The whole point of choosing snikket is to avoid data hoarding by the tech giants. And their app gets removed because they're wrongly accused of doing what google has been doing for 2 decades, siphoning personal data.

Thanks for insightful comment. (was there a question in it?)

It worked better for me because with some software (eg qbittorrent) you can directly choose the network interface to use, so having a 'standard' wg0 interface is great. Now I also wanted to re-use this interface for some websites

I didn't mean to dismiss wireproxy, I was just sharing where my findings lead me when I set up wireguards tunnel for myself. Apologies if this didn't come out right.

https://github.com/dariost/soks works better for what I needed to do with wireguard. It does more or less the same thing but it reuses an existing wireguard interface. I detailed my use in this blog post https:/&

Great app that does the job! The kind I don't mind installing on my phone. I use it for nextcloud, github and my microsoft account (it was really buried in the settings but it is possible to avoid using MS auth something app).

The fact that you can say "Spotify is pretty much the best thing ever" when they basically pay the musicians nothing is amazing to me. Have we come this far into individualism? "It's good for me, so it must be the best t

Do you mean money-wise? What's the point if you're not happy? The only thing I want for my kids besides them being happy, is that their happiness does not depend on the misery of other human beings. Funnily enough, "success&q

I like the idea but the README is lacking screenshots. Also, I think it would make sense to base this on XMPP or ActivityPub, for federation and interop with other services.

Without denying at all that racism exists, I believe it is also possible to imitate accents outside racism. I'm from the south of France, and my accent kicks in when I speak with elderly family members that themselves always have the

I have a redmi note 4 (mido) and can definitely switch between apps just fine. About banking, since the law in France doesn't require you to have a smartphone (yet?), I pretended I have a dumbphone to my bank, so 2FA is SMS-based for p

Fair point. For android, choosing a phone from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ or https://www.replicant.us/supported-devices.php helps getting security updates for longer.

Wow. Without a < 3 yo phone, it's not possible to switch between 2 apps without one of them being killed? When I think about my atari 1040ST and what it could do with a single core running at a few Mhz and a few hundred kilobytes of

I honestly don't think you have to. If banking apps are a bit slow, so what? I know that individual actions have limited impact, but do you realise what's at stake when it comes to environmental issues? FWIW I run a 6yo xiaomi a

I don't witness this around me. By far, most of my "real life contacts" will only use their phone to use messaging apps, and don't use whatsapp web at all.

> Nothing is ... Fair point. I'm a dreamer ;) I believe the lack of great clients for apple platforms is due to how little the overlap is between people who see value in using a self-hosted, federated, lightweight chat system and pe

It is sad indeed that the development of clients relies on the volunteer work of a very limited group of individuals, mostly explainable by the lack of "hype" around Jabber/XMPP. FWIW it's been smooth-sailing for me and
