And from my reading, helps secure against a situation where an police officer (AKA attacker in the US apparently…) coerces you to unlock the phone (or perhaps even just takes it off you in a locked, but active state), and stores it in a faraday bag with a charger. They do that to keep it ‘alive’ so their experts can break in - a dead-mans reboot can help circumvent even that (as it will just reboot and restore itself to an encrypted rest state, which is much harder to attack)

Yeah, seems like its a move to follow apple after custom ROMS offering it as a security feature (Im on GrapheneOS and had it set for a while)

Thanks for the clarification, I forgot that (somehow)

After a reboot all the data is encrypted and needs a pin/fingerprint to unlock. So if it’s stolen (or feds get it) a planned reboot resets it to a highly secure state that is much more difficult to hack into than when it’s just locked from timeout. Edit: removed fingerprint, corrected below.

I have a plan at $job that will reduce our CO2 emissions a year by ~330 tonnes.

Almost makes you wonder why bother sometimes

I’d be a lot more worried about being sent to an El Salvador prison without cause, not just being denied entry

Ouch, yeah that’s frustrating. I’m considering doing my own image (prei stall my own apps) which will help with issues like this and allow consistent apps across machines.

Feels like a sledgehammer for a nail though

I had this with a sunshine service being added as a user service in bazzite. I created a clean new user and it booted, confirming it was user based. Took a bunch of binary searching to work out what the issue was.

I’ve since done my own autostart setup for sunshine and it’s been fine ever since.

Crappy UX!

Read Anathema last year, really enjoyed it!

I run ollama and auto1111 on my desktop when it’s powers on. Using open-webui in my homelab always on, and also connected to openrouter. This way I can always use openwebui with openrouter models and it’s pretty cheap per query and a little more private that using a big tech chatbot. And if I want local, I turn on the desktop and have local lamma and stab diff.

I also get bugger all benefit out of it., it’s a cute toy.

God I miss this time on the web

I may have to go back to IRC, hell even running my own fucking server

If we had ircv3 specs that included reactions. etc we might be. I rolled a small group of IRC servers with a few selfhost people a year back and it was quite fun. Tbh IRC itself is still alive and well, it’s just not user friendly enough to get non-tech people over easily

Yeah would not go reading oglaf at work lol

Great app, been using it for years

Daily backups. Currently using restic on my NixOS servers. To avoid data corruption, I make a zfs snapshot at 2am, and after that restic does a backup of my mutable data dirs both to my local Nas and CloudFlare r3. The Nas backup folder is synced to backblaze nightly as well for a more cold store.

Also checkout orpheus alongside redacted. Smaller site but significant overlap with redacted, many have accounts with both. You can ‘crosspost’ your music torrents to both.

I have literally been on this exact journey. Mind you I’m on NixOS across two boxes so not quite a raspi… Perhaps my downsizing is not yet complete

Tbh I tire of society and it’s insurance of putting things in labelled boxes.

It means different things to different people based on their age and experiences growing up.

For me it’s PS2 backwards.

I’ve been using logseq with syncthing for sync, across laptop/desktop/Android. Works ok, app can be a little chunky though and sometimes the manualness of coding queries can. E annoying. I have used joplin, trillium, Zim and a few others in the past. Installed silver bullet as a try too but haven’t gotten far into playing with it
