I like the Kobo options a lot, I have a device from them that was the Kobo Aura HD from Ebay that was $50 dollars in great condition. Kobo has better support for loading whatever you want on it without any annoying issues and it is running linux under the hood and has a lot of expand-ability because of it. These days I use a kindle paperwhite 4 and honestly, it just isn't as well thought out. It is waterproof & has a higher resolution display but I found the Kobo OS was faster & the device with buttons had a much better design overall. So, I wish I had gone for an up to date Kobo alternative when I upgraded. So, go Kobo, don't look back, & get second hand if you want to save some $$$.

on The Terminal Question · c/linux · 2 pts · 1y

I have determined that foot is best for me personally, like alacritty and a couple others, it is very barebones. No tabs or anything like that without tmux. But it doesn't rely on GPU acceleration and is just as fast (or faster) than my experience using GPU accelerated terminals. Easy to configure and since it doesn't have the GPU requirements it works on old hardware like a dream. Only possible issue is that it is wayland only but since that is all I like to use it is perfect.

I find a lot like ghostty and wezterm try to include too many features. All I need a terminal emulator to be is a terminal emulator. But then a lot of these then add tabs, build in multiplexers & more and it is more bloated than I like a simple utility to be. Additionally, I don't need native tabs as a lot I do in the terminal uses SSH so it is easier just to use tmux/zilji and not have to manage it as much.

Yes Yes I did, sorry! Collabora CODE server configuration in Caddy.

office.DOMAIN {
        @collabora {
                path /browser
                path /browser/*
                path /hosting/discovery
                path /hosting/capabilities
                path /loleaflet/*
                path /lool/*
                path /cool/*
        }
        @local-ip {
                remote_ip private_ranges
        }
        reverse_proxy @collabora https://nextcloud-office:9980/ {
                transport http {
                        tls_insecure_skip_verify
                }
        }
        reverse_proxy @local-ip nextcloud-office:9980 {
                transport http {

        }
}

Nextcloud section, may look different from yours I use the FPM image but it should be similar, enough. There are also some limitations on the urls based on local vs public access but that is an attempt at hardening rather than necessary configurations.

nextcloud.DOMAIN {
        root * /var/www/html

        file_server

        php_fastcgi nextcloud:9000

        header {
                Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;
        }

        @phpFiles {
                path_regexp phpfile ^/(remote|public|cron|core/ajax/update|status|ocs/v1|ocs/v2)\.php
        }

        rewrite @phpFiles {http.regexp.phpfile.0}

        redir /.well-known/carddav /remote.php/dav 301
        redir /.well-known/caldav /remote.php/dav 301

        @local-ip {
                not remote_ip private_ranges
                path /settings/admin
                path /settings/admin/*
                path /settings/users
                path /settings/users/*
                path /settings/apps
                path /settings/apps/*
        }
        #respond @local-ip 404

        @forbidden {
                path /.htaccess
                path /data/*
                path /config/*
                path /db_structure
                path /.xml
                path /README
                path /3rdparty/*
                path /lib/*
                path /templates/*
                path /occ
                path /console.php
        }
        respond @forbidden 404
}

Then in nextcloud you just point it to the CODE server domain above & you even have tls securing the communication layer.

Like others have noted, for signal do a backup using the built-in feature. Then wipe the apps storage to clear messages.

For SMS/MMS I have usedSMS Import/Export before to transfer that data between devices easily without any issues so it should work as well.

I would also make sure to enable the feature to disable USB when the screen is locked. Just in case you get TSA stopped & they take your device for any reason.

Wireguard could be helpful if you used a SSL terminating proxy in front of it but then you have to know the data format to parse it. So unless you are a researcher it is a long path ahead of you without any OOTB tools to do it for you.

Most cookies don't store any data themselves. Instead it is a session/device token that tells googles servers what device is connecting and then they look up the data they have about you server side. Cookies can store more than that situationally but that is the most common use.

To get what data Google has on you check out Google takeout and you can get a "full" export of what data has been gathered.

I think forms of specifically elemental manipulation/alchemy are good examples. Could psionics also move/manipulate elements? Perhaps, but not at the scale/intensity of someone harnessing that power vs moving it with brute psionic force. Additionally, things like astral realms could be locked behind magic as being sources of power that psionics cannot access since their power is primarily mental.

So I've been thinking about this a lot. Generally in places like, I dunno, the military which is under the DOD which is under the executive branch. There is instruction to disobey an illegal order from higher ups. But according to the definition of employee here & the requirement of item 7.

I think that if the president ordered an illegal act (which he cannot be charged for from the supreme court) for the military to enact. Then as federal employees, these forms of recourse would no longer be applicable as everyone in the chain of command would be forced to use the presidents definition of legality until a court case could remove/block that authority.

I hope that I'm missing something here but I think this gives him much more power than the rest of the order claims to be covering.

It is amazing! A couple years ago I played through the Metroid series (not every game original/remake counted) and it was one of my top games. It did have one issue IMO, once you get the screw attack there is an expectation that you are familiar with how to use it, which as a new player, took me a very long time to get past. But other than that I loved my time with it & didn't have any complaints!

As someone in a similar environment, there are others who care. It just isn't worth the risk to my job & professional relationships to talk about. Most people who don't care I won't sway anyways and anyone who does care doesn't need to talk to me. So, for the betterment of my family, I stay quiet at work. Outside of work though I'll talk to my friends & anyone who will listen about the risks of the current regime.
