Ah yes, the ol’ windows app that got updated in the background but then also needs to update when you open it for some reason.

Sometimes this happens when installing a new app, it will need an update literally seconds after installing it.

The Microsoft app store is such a broken mess.

Yeah it seems like it. Cell capacity is fine in mAh but output energy should always be Wh

I think they just messed up the units, 6.5Ah * 5V = 32.5Wh which seems reasonable from the 38.7Wh battery, as that’s a total of 84% efficiency which is pretty typical for a power bank.

So it should say rated capacity = 32.5Wh.

There are multiple apps from various devs that all use the Keepass file format, so they are all compatible.

Generally I don’t think Chinese tech is really any worse than “US” (aka; made in china by a US company) tech.

The software running on phones and stuff is likely worse though, some things should be avoided.

Huh? All my docker compose projects work fine ‘out of the box’, the oldest ones have been stable for years now.

That would make more sense than not having a PW manager, sometimes you’re just so tired out that you run on autopilot without thinking about things.

Phishing emails are getting pretty good these days, and fairly well targeted too. I get some at work that are fairly convincing, emulating emails from services we actually use.

However…

“Hunt clicked on the phishing email, which led him to enter his credentials and one-time passcode into a hacker-controlled login page.”

Using a password manager should have prevented this, or at least make it a lot more likely you would realize something is wrong, because it will only enter your credentials on the correct domain name.

I also do the whole “don’t click links in emails, go to my bookmark for that service instead” thing as much as I can too. Especially for banking, I never click any link on those messages.

It’s good to be aware of and in general treat anything uploaded to the internet as public, but it also is a bug that the software isn’t working right.

One option is running changedetection.io on your server, it works for basically anything since it’s actually loading a full web page and checking for changes.

Nice since it seems like everything these days requires apis and all kinds of BS to use in an app.

You could always try out an AI service that doesn’t collect data like duck.ai: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/duckai/

Privacy is not all or nothing, and using one thing doesn’t cancel all efforts somewhere else.

Don’t go so far into the privacy hole that it affects your mental health. Just do what’s easy for you.

Yeah I don’t think meshtastic is the right choice for dense areas, even on faster methods it will quickly get overloaded.

I would use the default if you want to connect to other random nodes.

Changing it makes sense for private meshes, not for joining the public though.

Maybe https://www.gl-inet.com/

As I understand their stuff runs a custom OpenWRT, so you can use them as-is, or if you want vanilla OpenWRT it’s very easy to flash them.

As far as Mesh goes I’m not sure how they would do, for mesh to perform well you need a system that has dedicated mesh radios in the 5/6ghz bands, and only the more expensive mesh systems typically have that.

It can be hard to find content if your home server doesn’t interact with it enough.

Most common reason is you don’t like how the server you’re on is run, or it doesn’t fit your hobbies well.

You can try Buster, but I’ve never been able to get it working: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/buster-captcha-solver/

There are also various captcha solving services out there, however they all reek of shady “we steal your data” type services.

Mailbox.org is great, their webmail setup is good and has contacts and calendar and all the things you would expect to have. With Cal/CardDAV and ActiveSync support too.

It’s a bunch of self hosted home services on a raspberry pi…
