Telegram has the very public, very purposeful eye of the government on it right now.

Which, “government”, are you referring to here if you could expand please?

Or are you saying all governments are averse to Telegram?

Yep yep I bought a family member a couple of those fancy GLi routers that come with AdGuard built in.

It’s scary what a household’s tracked without it would look like, and they are none the wiser to the shit getting sinkholed to this day thankfully.

I’m down to 10% bollocks via NextDNS

and aim to bring it down further by dumping any apps/services that want to bum fugg me.

I felt like a right noobie when one of my colleagues said he’d got a Pixel tablet via the Play Store and asked him how he’d won it.

Apparently I don’t install and play shittons of games like them.

£500 was tempting to look into it further but as you say, that news pissed me off because I now know my mum is gonna install some bullshit that one of those guys might have picked up on.

We use a fair few shared mobile phones at work and while it has WiFi / unlimited mobile data is used solely as an absence line number because some of my fellow colleagues don’t have home internet, actively disable their mobile data (because they use a SMS / Call package only), and really can’t get their head around “the nets”/Whatsapp and don’t, want to, either.

Which I agree with to an extent since Whatsapp can suck my plums too. They exist and quite a few of them apparently.

There is a bonus to this thou since I get to call them names because of their neanderthal ways…

That’s kinda weird.

I’ve had a Meme11 Lite for a couple of years now and just bought another Poco. I don’t see no ads whatsoever, after I told Wallpaper Carousel to not nag me no more.

Alright I use NextDNS across router / device level but like I say I get none of these complaints and think it’s global releases for some?

I’m a capt’ three phones at the moment

While I’ve had my backup Samsung M12 with a 1pmobile SIM in my work locker for a couple of years now simply as an emergency backup, I’m also currently rocking two Xiaomi’s so I can test remote connections to a family members server via work WiFi/Tailscale.

My main issue is while I wear cargo pants at work, carrying two phones is more wieldy than you’d think and there’s also something else I did notice the other day with the Find My Device news.

I forgot where, I left my main phone the other day and my locker is a literal Faraday cage according to FMD? 10 minutes of panic :/

I thought I was a bit of a negative nancy but you take the cake 😆

I almost just want a cheap piece of crap dumb phone

Looked into a KaiOS device? Not entirely dumb, GMaps is only the web version so no voice navigation etc.

But might be something of interest to ya?

You’d think they’d include an ethernet port on the device itself.

Or, hopefully they include a power brick with a RJ45 port. WiFi for streaming large high bitrate files is less than ideal especially if it’s touted as a set top streaming box.

Very true.

I generally just use my ceramic bladed hair cutter on 0 when I’m not required to have a clean, clean shave, and then like I say above just use a BIC when I need a baby’s bum face for work etc.

The twin / triple blades I find can be off-putting to some since if you have too much growth they latch on and snag.

APKMirror uses the hash from the Play Store to verify they’re serving you the legit apk.

It’s been around for years, the owner is very keen about their little baby, but relies on adverts. If you can put up with the latter you’re gucci

Yeah, we’ve got something I recall being called the P-laws or something brought in, meaning all new sockets need to be a certain height above floor level.

I’ve seen many rented houses here that still have them on the floor since older builds ain’t required to rectify them. Scary if you see all the recent flooding we’ve been having in some parts of the country :/

But those three pin / fused BS 1363 whilst been one of the safest sockets you can get, I can confirm they’re an absolute bastard if you stand on one.

Personally, I never learned how to use a razor

🤔

Alright. Ima be ur daddy and tell you have to shave in 3 minutes flat.

• Acquire some BIC single blade razors

• Head to shower, put it on steaming hot and apply steaming hot water to face. Getting a hot towel after getting out of the shower and leaving it on your face for a while makes a tough shave even moar comfortable.

• Lather shaving foam all over face

• Run BIC razor under cold running water and shave until your face is like a baby’s bum

• Rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove all lather

As a Britbong, I’m always proud of not only BS1363 and the safety it has brung us over the years but the fact that I know that number off the top of my head.

I usually have a goldfish memory for things like that.

While I’ve used ClamAV and knew they had a Windows app as well as other platforms I’ve never heard of the above website, and it smells funny to me.

ClamAV has been around for years, and I’d throw caution to the wind with the above Windows executable from ClamWin…

Just had a nosey, that DSM 923 (Vs 423) doesn’t have a discreet GPU.

What rules are you putting on your downloads from the arrr’s, and do you find some struggle to transcode w/ Jellyfin?

I’ve had to lower the rules since it got silly trying to transcode 80GB+ files over the puny specs of the DSMs > N100 SFF box I’m testing with, and use them solely for NAS / arrrrrs. I still need to invest a little more I think :/

That’s what I’ve been curious about, but even still on a DSM 223 & 418 I’ve found them alright to an extent running Radarr/Sonarr/Transmission.

I did however run into problems trying to use them via Container Manager aka Docker on the DSM’s.

Jellyfin thou is definitely best run on something that can transcode media and the DSM’s are definitely not cut out for that, and if your Windows PC has an Intel processor will see you having less issues. Good luck you ;)

Maybe try it the other way like I’ve done?

Put the arrr stack + qbit on your Syn drive, mount the shares via NFS, and then use Jellyfin on your Windows PC?

edit: or, like you’re saying you’re wanting qbit behind your Mullvad put that on your Windows PC and tell Sonarr/Radarr that’s where the Download Client is

Are you running Jellyfin on the NAS as well as the arrr stack?

Also which Synology NAS do you have exactly and as someone else asked, what client / box are you using to access it with?

I’ve got a couple of Synology boxes and only run Radarr/Sonarr/Transmission on them and that’s it - Jellyfin is on another SFF PC and I’ve also been thinking of taking Transmission out of the Syn boxes since it nails them on large & multiple downloads.

I wonder if what you could do is look into a Stingray device and plonk that in your car to make it to connect to that instead of local cell towers?

edit: whoa, I just looked at the prices of them. Surely there’s something a clever Trevor could put together here…

edit II: As someone else mentioned, Femtocells.

I’ve always wondered about buying one years ago but they seem like a rarity here these days. Also, manipulating that data / telemetry to show you in Antarctica has got to be on someone’s fun list?
