Cool stuff, I’ve been using https://github.com/SnoringDragon/gluetun-qbittorrent-port-manager but it’s 2 years old and intermittent in functionality (works sometimes, check it if you haven’t). Will keep an eye on yours.

If you’re up for a challenge flaresolvarr is always in a cat and mouse game with cloudflare if that’s your idea of fun.

Well Done!

Beautiful Soup (python library, bs4) is also fren

This, non ironically, teach them early there’s places (actually settings is a better word, but a more advanced concept) it’s OK and places it’s not. Bonus points for teaching them that the less they use swearing the more useful it will be at combating pain and stress (scientific fact BTW), so use it when needed, but generally make your point more civilly.

VSCode is super light on resources on linux, I have two running right now and they don’t break the top ten on btop (often). It can be done right, rarely is, but it can be. Generally electron is badly used, probably a skill issue, seeing as the skill is locked behind useless documentation, proprietary BS and whatever, but the ppl who made it actually make it work, might be black magic or chicken sacrifice…

Someone’s actually gonna take this seriously, and they’re right.

All of you who can’t understand the concept of feature complete (see syncthing drama for example) find something useful to do. I promise it’s out there.

IIRC the other nine had to kill them, by beating with sticks? which makes it so much worse. Rarely used in extremis I believe.

“Man will never be free until the last politician (mayhap capitalist) is hung with the entrails of the last lawyer.”

Eh, Syncthing-Fork is basically feature complete, it’s not even a significant exploit threat (on gOS and constrained to local network and storage spaces in my case, but probably in general). I just pinned it at v2.0.11.2 in F-Droid and will wait for things to shake out. If things go badly there’ll be a Syncthing-Fork-Fork, it’s too critical to too many peoples workflows.

Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy !!

Thanks for the link, that’s so happening.

As in sync position wirelessly ?? that would rock.

Er, current (I use podman autoupdate). Often it’s the second time you try that it works (takes a while to work and times out), can also be a hard block on your vpn egress IP, then change it, test to see if you can reach it in your browser. Also you arr may have decided it’s not working and turn it off, check system errors. Currently my log has detected, challenge solved, response in 18 - 40 s, so it’s definitely slow at the moment.

1337x is pretty damn good, look into flaresolverr for the Cloudflare, it’s a bit hit or miss (cat and mouse game there) but useful. Also Limetorrents, EZTV and good old piratebay are worth it IMO.

Zeroth, consider GrapheneOS on that Pixel.

First, Syncthing on the PC and Syncthing-Fork. Now you can sync (and anything else) your photo files from phone to PC and vice versa. Congrats, you have photo storage backup.

Second, either a vpn to your home network so you can backup on the road, or Immich (as elsewhere suggested) for your own google photos experience.

Third, whichever of second you didn’t choose.

Fourth, get ye an offsite backup (search 3-2-1 backup). rclone is your friend, but encrypt first locally with Cryptomator, then you don’t have to trust your storage provider.

English Folk Verse (c.1870)

        The Fifth of November  

Remember, remember!  
The fifth of November,  
The Gunpowder treason and plot;  
I know of no reason  
Why the Gunpowder treason  
Should ever be forgot!  
Guy Fawkes and his companions  
Did the scheme contrive,  
To blow the King and Parliament  
All up alive.  
Threescore barrels, laid below,  
To prove old England's overthrow.  
But, by God's providence, him they catch,  
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!  
A stick and a stake  
For King James's sake!  
If you won't give me one,  
I'll take two,  
The better for me,  
And the worse for you.  
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,  
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,  
A pint of beer to wash it down,  
And a jolly good fire to burn him.  
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!  
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!  
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray! 

Guy Fawkes Day is the Fifth of November, when the English (used to, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s banned now) let off lots of fireworks to remind the government of the peoples power, or vice versa depending on your proclivities.

More recently the comic (Alan Moore, knows the score) and the movie ‘V for Vendetta’ both featured the
Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
as a significant thematic refrain. Both are well worth your time. The mask on the left is from the movie, and also used as a symbol by the cyberactivist group ‘Anonymous’

but that probably helps.

Again, weapons without human in the loop needs to be against the Geneva convention, yesterday. Or articles of war , something. This is a tractable problem, that needs attention, now, It will not end well and can actually be (mostly, by honorable armies) fixed.

Such is the reward for the duty and privilege to care for them as they do you. Dogs and humans. name a more symbiotic pair, I dare you. And now I cry for those passed and missed.

I’ll assume it’s cool, but currently hugged to death for me. Just wanted to point out batteries are replaceable even if glued, fixed my GrapheneOS Pixel7 after it killed itself (spicy pillow) charging in heat in a warmer country. iFixit kit + video worked, then got a Chargie which lets you set a temperature above which it will not charge (33C for me, only charges at night in summer). Probably relevant in your case.

You can alter the chemistry of plastics so that you end up with microplastics in your food if you go above certain temps with most plastics.

If you think that’s going to save you look harder, or just go back to ceramics like sane people. Your vasty majority is likely coming from textiles and tires, in the water and air respectively.

I would have had to sand it down to get rid of it.

And now you have two, or one to give away…
