More electrical interference from the actual socket, high speed RAM is fussy about things like that, and trace length etc.

I'm guessing OP means code you use rather than code you write, in other words auditing. Likely very few of us do that with any thoroughness. IIRC proton does have some independent auditing.

I use rsync for that.

As does syncthing under the hood. The issue is with backing up an open database and getting an inconsistent state, but KeepassXC keeps its database closed except on update. I also tick the backup old before save setting in KeepassXC (the aforementioned 'and it's backup') and use a versioning backup of the sync directory on the desktop with 3-2-1, so I am sanguine.

Syncthing means it and its backup lives on two laptops, a desktop and my phone.

Is there a pixel device with a jack port?

Not that still has security updates? Something to note is that gOS stops supporting pixels after security updates stop, so factor that into your decision. I use a qudelix-5K bluetooth adapter which has excellent sound (and balanced and onboard equalizer, flawless 96Khz/32bit LDAC from my pixel 7, also doubles as a USB DAC), it's expensive but after 2 years I still think it's one of my best recent tech purchases.

Are batteries inside pixel devices glued to the frame or can they be easy to change?

I had to replace mine and chose to use an iFixit kit, first foray into glued repair and while fraught it went fine. Removal wasn't that bad, there's a plastic strip under the battery to help get the bastard out.

My main OS is debian. How easy is to transfer data from GrapheneOS to debian and the other way round?

Syncthing.

2 odd years in and it works great for a similar use case to yours (music [PowerAmp, paid], books [Moon Reader, paid], maps [still on Organic], notes [joplin], camera [google], web - ironfox, mail [proton]). Network deny permission is a godsend, most things on Google Play Store can be installed (even paid will usually work, but some use more aggressive checking) and then you can uninstall the Play store and services and deny network to anything that might call home and everything just works, including full google camera (see my history for details). A bit of onboarding hassle finding replacements, but well worth it, updates happen a lot more often than you are used to, but it's a good pain. I also have a second user with full Google play and a few other apps, but I can't remember when I last spun it up, good training wheels for adaption.

Or the physics explanation, straight up 100% efficient gravity control would be less than walking up a similar sized mountain (conservation of [potential] energy). Something using zero point energy to force could be net positive, it depends...

Didn't take as long as I expected, but I expected it (which is why I didn't bother to read, even if it's not all the way there, it's coming).

Seriously, advertising (or propaganda to use the older name favoured by Goebbels) really needs to be seen as a much more serious enemy than most do. Propaganda for capitalists is super effective at sucking up peoples mental bandwidth, they've been selecting for it going on a century now and they're depressingly good at it, if you don't actively counter it, straight to the subconscious, along with all the background crap in it. /rant, but seriously...

For science! Good to know (how did you tell with the door closed? text it or something?).

 

Just occurred to me that the humble microwave should be a fairly effective Faraday cage, certainly for the microwave spectrum, anyone know how good it is for the relevant communication frequencies?

yup, the syntax is (from within the distrobox)

distrobox-export --app appname

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Run Arch in a distrobox, done (in atomic you lean hard on distrobox and flatpak).

I feel as though the most logical way about it would be to compartmentalize connections by application, but I wasn’t able to find an easy way to do this. For example, splitting off a browser window and having that exit from somewhere else

I use multiple gluetun containers with connections to various endpoints, each provides a proxy and I use foxyproxy firefox addon to switch between the proxies manually (as well as setting up rules), works pretty well for me.

As to phone, wireguard to your computer will minimize duplicating effort.

What's that principle where you don't know you're asking the wrong question because you've got this idea in your head on how to do something, so you search frustratingly. If you could step up a level and find the right question, you'd find a well established, efficient solution.

Related to unknown unknowns I guess, but I came across a phrase or word encapsulating it, and now I can't remember or (ironically) find it.

ETA: It's the XY Problem, thanks Bophades@midwest.social.

 

Seems very interesting, pr burble aside. Wonder how close this is to a micro-sonogram if generalised ? Star Trek medical tricorder component material by my reckoning.

 

Wanting to torrent in a country other than my own, I've been exiting via Singapore as it has the most direct path I believe. Any reason not to ? Any superior choices for whatever reason ? Couldn't find this discussed anywhere. TIA.

I'm one of those oddballs who's never joined, but I'm in the market for a new to me bike, and it seems like all the action is on marketplace. Am I screwed, or is there an effective workaround ?

Edit: Not US. There are local alternatives that I know about, but they are worse, please answer question as asked ! Basically I'm thinking of alternative software ala FreeTube, or a way of spoofing facebook to make a dummy account only to be used for this and if so what precautions to take...

 

Something I find fascinating is that being consistent (and trustworthy) is less effective than being 80/20% consistent (classical vs operant conditioning) at training dogs where there are contextual/environmental cues at play. It's personally counter-intuitive, but I've seen it work and am convinced (I attribute it to evolutionary mechanisms, my goto in biology).

I'm wondering what other psychology as a science results have solid statistics behind them that I'm unaware of (I'm compsci with a physics/maths background, so it's probably most), and are interesting...

 

How does this play for you ? I identify as spectrum, what used to be Asperger's, and have to work really hard to get to visual phantasia, but I can. Also worked hard to remove aural phantasia? via meditation because of negative self talk. Do you see 'aphant' as a useful designation? Thoughts, Ideas?

 

This needs (IMO) more attention, seems to fit here...
