I think the focus of the article is more on using services deliberately rather than pure privacy, and I think the all or nothing approach to thinking of online privacy as you mention detracts from any positive effects of the little things people just starting their journey may try.

Those big companies don’t care about you. Every small step taken toward privacy is beneficial, even if it’s just eliminating one data point at a time. If you make it harder to find your info, they aren’t going to hire a PI to track you down, there are plenty of easier marks to chase.

The one near me got torn down this year…so not a whole lot I guess.

There are quite a lot of fairly good quality IEMs that are really inexpensive these days. Most of Linsoul’s brands come to mind.

Right, if you’re somewhere cold, you can cover up pretty much everything and not be out of place. Now, eating a meal at a restaurant or spending an extended time indoors like that would be a little out of place.

I have a lifetime pass and switched to Jellyfin years ago. Plex shoving their streaming content down my throat while putting my local libraries in the most tedious spots to access in the menus was a very quick turn off.

If you have a powered doorbell, the Reolink cams can be powered by that too.

Gonna throw in another Reolink recommendation. I use Blue Iris as my NVR and have both that and the Reolink integrations in Home Assistant for motion notifications and lighting control. The cameras are durable (even in my very cold temps like -30C) and have really good image quality. If you don’t have an NVR or Home Assistant, the built-in motion detection and app is still pretty good and you can just pop an SD card in for recording.

This is the government’s favourite sport. What do you think all the tariff announcements and later withdrawals are doing?

I’m always curious if a non Android OS would work on these devices with multiple displays. I’d imagine likely only the main display would work without a fair bit of tinkering, which diminishes a fair bit of functionality for a device with 1.5 screens.

Former land surveyor. Was definitely counting my paces when I was not surveying.

Background: you’d often try to capture a grid of points, or cross section of a road, for example, at regular intervals. You’d roughly know your normal stride length conversion to metres, so if I were doing a 10m grid, it’d be: shoot a point, walk 11 paces, shoot a point, repeat for hundreds, sometimes thousands of points. It wasn’t long until you would be counting paces when you weren’t actively surveying.

No one went to jail the last time subprime loans in the US crashed the global economy, why would anything change? Might as well do it again.

I went with <function>_<room>. So like motion_garage, or door_office. The function of the device won’t change, so it seemed logical to have it in that order.

It’s also not hard to change names of devices in Zigbee2MQTT and propagate that through HA if a device moves.

There’s no electricity through a charger that’s not connected.

Oh no, it’s definitely a criminal issue and throwing more money at police will totally solve the problem.

There’s a fork called Tubular that implements SponsorBlock as well.

Reagan really fucked some shit up, hey?

Tencent’s Arena Breakout is very similar to Tarkov. Like, watching it, you’d just think tarkov got a bit of an update. They don’t really care about IP unless it’s their own.

In the screenshot, it looks more like the essential toggle is greyed out because it can’t be toggled, while the other two can be and would likely turn blue or something other than grey to indicate they’re on.

The USCSB’s videos on their investigations are quite interesting and well made.

Change that G to a T, add a zero, then we’re talking.
