BearOfaTime, (edited ) to piracy in Best Method for Archiving Articles?

This may be a good question for Self-hosting.

I use a combo of OneNote (it’s pretty easy to put entire pages in OneNote, even from a mobile device) and Joplin. Obsidian works well too.

What’s nice is all of them can take the full page, so it looks nearly identical to the website.

Alternatively you can use reader mode in the browser, and send that to OneNote/Joplin, or send the link to archive.ph and save the archived version.

Saving the full page enables search to work.

Edit: forgot about your pocket url issue. Well both Joplin and OneNote save the url with the page info. Not sure how well Pocket utilizes pages archived on archive.ph. May need some testing.

BearOfaTime, to piracy in Beeper Mini

And I believe the folks at Beeper published their self-host on Github.

BearOfaTime, to piracy in My HD is chocking but I don't want to throw away culturally precious mataerial (mainly movies)

Offline drives die too.

I’ve had more drives die sitting on a shelf.

Electromechanical stuff is just like us - it doesn’t do well sitting still.

BearOfaTime, to privacy in Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice

Sounds like a market opportunity. Would be super disruptive

BearOfaTime, to privacy in Are there any good privacy friendly keyboards for android?

Futo voice input.

Pretty impressive

BearOfaTime, to selfhosted in How well does the raspberry pi handle being a moonlight client

What’s moonlight? (Genuinely curious, always looking for new tools).

Thanks!

BearOfaTime, to selfhosted in Sounds like Haier is opening the door!

Nah, this is Haier trying to save face. They saw how the story went, that the repo was forked a thousand times in a few hours. They know their engineering team can’t win, long term, against dedicated, pissed off geeks.

Would they play nice with you if the tables were reversed? No.

They already played the legal card, engaging with them at this point would be extremely naive.

Fuck them. Now is the time to pummel them even harder. Making them eat their words is what will send a message to the rest of the jackasses designing garbage and tracking us relentlessly for access to what should be trivial to engineer features.

BearOfaTime, to piracy in Amazon and Tolkein Estate force author to destroy all copies of his work. Only pirated copies will survive.

I’m not a Tolkien fan and even I recognized that, haha.

Wtf.

BearOfaTime, to privacy in Google Just Killed Warrants That Give Police Access To Location Data

Exactly!

making it impossible for the company to access it

Sure. They won’t be able to access the data itself, but they’ll have already used the data as it was being generated to add metrics to your profile. So they don’t need it anymore if it’s already been utilized.

Liars always find a way to phrase things to misdirect.

  1. Discord sucks
  2. If you can get my friends/family to switch to anything else I’m on board.

You act like we haven’t tried to get people to switch. Even Android users. People can’t be arsed to change because they don’t see the problem.

I’ve gotten 1 person to switch away from SMS to Telegram, because it has clients for every OS. That makes it convenient, and it can do a lot more.

BearOfaTime, to privacy in How to use RCS on Android while giving minimal data to Google?

Keep in mind that RCS is still SMS to anyone without Google Messages.

Also, the encryption in RCS is problematic - last time I read how it worked I wasn’t convinced it was as secure as advertised (I don’t recall why, but I think it’s because it’s not really E2E).

BearOfaTime, (edited ) to privacy in Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Check out DivestOS. It’s a fork of lineage with a focus on better security and privacy. Not restrictive like Graphene. Rootable via magisk.

So far I’m liking it. Great battery life (lowest I’ve ever seen) even on my 5 year old phone.

BearOfaTime, to privacyguides in It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time

You’re trading your own feelings for your kid’s long-term well-being and learning. Many people would take the easy approach because your way is “scary”. Bravery is doing what needs to be done even if you’re afraid.

I’d call that right and proper. It’s what we adults are supposed to do. The number of times I’ve carried a crying infant to get them settled down while I could barely walk from excruciating back pain… It’s our job to take that on.

It’s funny, many of those parents who are tracking their kids would probably say “I sacrifice every day by working long hours so my kids have a warm, safe home” without realizing that giving them a long leash is also a sacrifice of parent’s (willingly take on worry) so kids grow up well.

BearOfaTime, to selfhosted in Raspberry as NAS, multiple HDDs and an enclosure

And likes to drop the connection.

BearOfaTime, to selfhosted in So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?

How bad is it?

My current file server, an old gaming rig, consumes 100w at idle.

I’m considering a TrueNAS box running either 2.5" ssd’s or NVME sticks (My storage target is under 8TB, and that’s including 3 years projected growth).
