I've been using this happily for a week now. Much easier to configure than I feared!

Sounds like livesync is a decent option, too, if you run a home server like me. But I believe some users have lost data so I've stuck with SyncThing-Fork for now. No battery life hit that I can see.

Or changing or just adding a system font.

Or setting a charge capacity limit.

Or adding separate quick access tikes for wifi and cellular.

I wonder if Valve will eventually offer their own system of checks similar to Google Play Integrity? I don't think I'd care for it since it's an invasion of personal choice on a device that you own, but for people who want to play competitive games with cheating problems, running a partition with integrity checking seems a fair trade.

Ah, a history would be nice. I've been thinking of keeping some stats to monitor when the connection goes down, and how often my IP changes.

Fortunately I've kept the same IP since i changed ISPs a few months ago.

Personally I still think docker is overkill for something that can be done with a bash script. But I also use a Pi 4 as my home server, so I need to be a little more scrupulous of CPU and RAM and storage than most :-)

exactly. I literally have a bash script that calls the API triggered by cron every 30 minutes. That's it. Are people seriously using a freaking docker container for this?

It's branding, mostly. The phones had a notch. Design language dictates that the laptops can too, since it's Totally Not Ugly (but it is).

Also, macbooks are slightly taller (16:10 aspect ratio) than most Windows laptops (16:9). Slightly taller even with the notch, since the extra screen is on top of the 16:10. So there is admittedly not much room to fit a camera on top. Personally I would prefer a slight bulge at the top and a rectangular screen, but with a black background, it isn't too awful. Drives me mad with any other colour, though, I just can't unsee.

Classic FF android bullshit.

Plenty of time to reorganise a menu that works just fine.

No resources to give us theming add-ons or even a basic OLED black theme. Let alone allow any other UI customisation.

My use-case is quite basic: a single combined home server/NAS, and two remote workers. My biggest obstacle, historically, was buffer bloat, which really really annoys me in video calls. I've got it to an acceptable level these days but it still isn't ideal.

In a perfect world, I'd have a single home server box that does wifi, routing, NAS, jellyfin, DNS, movies, freshRSS, backups, and a few other tasks. And then I'd eventually build another and mirror data between the two in another location for redundancy. But I haven't found anything that can handle it on mostly FOSS, long-term-security-updated software (10 years minimum), with no required subscriptions, with easily repairable or replaceable hardware. This seems to be getting really close, though! Official openVPN support for a piece of hardware would go a long way. I made a mistake buying a router in the past with a poorly supported CPU and I don't want to make a similar mistake again.

I'm not sure WiFi 6 will be "obsolete" in even 10 years, let alone 'soon'. I'm still using AC just fine at home. If your ISP sucks as much as most, you won't benefit from much anyway. Maybe the new frequencies could help for apartment dwellers, or the intranet speeds could help if you transfer a lot to and from a home NAS?

Fortunately I set up unbound ages ago, and disabled every other upstream option in my pi.hole. However, I imagine that still "leaks" some information about my DNS queries, just indirectly -- it's not like my pi.hole has every domain mapped all the time!

Excellent to have confirmation, thanks. What about the VPN connection handshake? I always assumed it was OK over non-SSL, because the exchange should use signed keys. But that is quite an assumption on my part.
