I went yahoo for ‘that mail’.

by ‘that mail’, nothing I use professionally, but need for entertainment, picky store accounts and food.

Steam, for instance thinks my domain email address is a temp email and won’t let me use it, they don’t think the same of yahoo.

Can you please tell me you’re entirely ethical smartphone setup?

A used Onpeplus 10 with Lineage on it

au contrair, that’s still Android!! We got em! Ez, kek!

Yeah, and I didn’t pay for it. I don’t use Google services. You said ethics, right? I bought it used, Google doesn’t profit and I don’t use any of their services, so, they don’t continue to.

Seems pretty sound to me. Lemme know if you need a recc for a TV or anything. I’m good with those too. I like helping normies connect with technology.

I’m an old pirate who remembers, and the thing, the raw ingredient missing in this scenario?

need

If it didn’t exist, if there was no possible way to get a copy of somesuch Gundam episode whatever in english, some dude somewhere would cross the ends of the earth to get it onto the internet. Piracy is motivated entirely by utility and need, it’s why music piracy atrophied into almost nothing until Soulseek arrived and streaming prices increased. Supply met demand, and it will again for fansubs.

If it’s needed, someone will meet the need. We did it in 1998, we’ll do it next year.

The tailscale method, bake it yourself. It’s all routing-based.

If you have a remote VPS and a home wireguard server and both are connected, then you have a remote connection outside of your home network. Make it a transit router. Then you’ll have your mesh and your VPN all in one, even if it’s still just all you.

Go a step further and connect mullvad to the vps and do a little routing work.

As for what routing work specifically, I couldn’t begin to tell you. Ai and some search-engine-fu might be necessary.

Here’s a (similar) example, even if he’s doing it backwards to my suggestion:

Crypto’s only use for me is making it universally easy to pay every tech/vpn company I deal with.

beyond that, people launder money, buy drugs and do darkweb shit with a minority of privacy folks harping privacytokens like Monero.

I’d love if Steam took BTC and people selling used items online embraced it. The grocery store? Ehhhhhhhhh. Nah.

“WG Tunnel” on f-droid lets you define a config/native for either mobile or wifi, whichever you want.

two configs on both? It does that. A config on one and nothing on the other? It does that. It swaps whenever your phone moves from mobile to wifi or vice versa.

if neither is selected, it considers it “both”.

15 years ago a pirate decided to name the main channel on the Nintendo Wii for homebrew the “Homebrew Channel”, as it has been for 15 years.

That was my reference. If you found a hacked Wii right now and turned it on, it would be one of the channels available.

I do too. They tend to speak from the heart but the second something is inconvenient, they’re cool with relaxing their morals.

Hey, you paid for them to spy on your media, give them their money’s worth.

it’s commercial software

digital cancer

now I need to find a Wiimote, damnit

Almost no mestastic or reticulum nodes use raspberrypis outside of one or two outliers.

.5 watts

faaaar less

The Rak and T114 boards are in the fraction of watt range. 10,000mah would last 1-2 months without the sun, and be fully charged in three to four days of sunlight.

Reticulum and the like would benefit from normal networking hardware as they do provide a lan connection, but they can just as easily mesh together without it. Your server stack can be in a building with dedicated power while still sending packets to whoever miles away via the mesh. The mesh doesn’t host, it just passes along.

Valve makes the Deck, so, most Deck users use Linux.

Maybe more people would use Linux, and they’d take more Windows users and marketshare from Microsoft to make Linux support more of a priority if it was more available.

Gabe doesn’t care about the Legion Go 2, this man has a 30 year old vendetta against Microsoft.

Hey buddy, it’s your PC, not mine. I’d just rather know a multi-billion dollar corporation isn’t spying on my every move than reckon they aren’t.

Microsoft has proven on multiple occasions that they really don’t give a shit about the word “no”, so if it’s worth it, by all means, bend over, cover your ears and keep taking it without any lube.

Microsoft: he thinks it’s actually off lmao

Linux, as an alternative, is insane. Just setting up the OS itself is another fucking hobby.

Great OS, too bad most people aren’t savvy enough to tweak minor settings.

It’ll go in endless circles until it finds out why its wrong,

then it will go right back to them anyway! lol

It’s funny how many times people on Lemmy have accused Spotify of not paying artists fairly but for some reason there’s a large amount of ‘I pirate music and pay artists nothing’ that goes on around here and no one says a thing

I accept this dark part of my soul as a bruise on my personality but I still find time to love myself anyway.

Like yeah, I pirate music, but I didn’t rape anyone today so, in the grand scheme of things…

Depends on the song as well.

Are we comparing a rip of a 1990’s album to a remaster, or a vinyl rip?

I guess if you really want to find a baseline, pick a band that’s known for audio quality and pick an album with the best.

When you get supported hardware, you mean…
