Did you play that Army Men: RTS game or the other army men 3DO games? Though they probably don’t hold up well, i thought they were very fun as a kid. Going to keep tabs on this game

technically there is a lot it could do, but it would not be a number 1 pick for any of it (even if you only have a $100 budget) so i agree, get rid of it.

you can still use a yubikey or even a password manager like keepassxc with passkeys, no need for any google/apple or even secure enclave.

it was always free for me but i think i was early enough of an adopter to be grandfathered in on some old setup

There is already gridcoin which is a cryptocurrency that awards boinc work, so I’d say this concern has already been addressed because of that.

not anymore

cock.li but it doesn’t encrypt your inbox so keep that in mind.

xpra: it is like tmux but for X windows (works on wayland), but it can do much more than that. You can seamlessly run GUI programs from a container or VM on your main desktop while still sandboxing their X capabilities, forward windows from Windows desktops, and it has efficient encoding so it is usable over poor connections as well.

At least on my phone, rebooting also makes it require PIN

For those who don’t remember, not only could signal be used for SMS, it used to be able to do encrypted sms convos.

The main benefit is since it is locally installed, it is harder for proton’s server to access your encrypted data by serving you malicious JS. A malicious desktop app/update could be served too, but that may be trickier.

It usually isn’t super hard to tell apart randomized junk like this from real human patterns. That is why Tor Browser for example tries its best to make everyone look the same instead of randomizing everything.

That said, for the mere purpose of throwing off the ISPs profiling algorithms, you could make a relatively simple python program to solve this. A naive solution would just do an http GET to each site, but a better solution would mimic human web browsing:

• Get a list of various news sites and political forum sites
• Setup headless firefox or chromium
• Use Selenium or similar to crawl links on each site. Make sure you have the pages fully load and wait a random amount of time that a human would before going to the next page.

If you have no programming capability this will be rough. If you have at least a little you can follow tutorials and use an LLM to help you.

The main issue with this goal is that it isn’t possible to tell how advanced your ISP’s profiling is, so you have no way to know if your solution is effective.

Feel free to DM me if you go this route.

I do something similar with rclone and vultr’s s3 service. I made an s3 remote in rclone and then a encryption layer remote on top of that.

You can make actual docker compose use podman by running a user podman docker socket and setting that as an environment variable (export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock)

One Hour One Life is open source, it is a 2D hand drawn survival game where you have 1 real life houre to live from a baby to an elder and contribute to the player-made society in your life as best you can.

You have to pay for an account on the official servers, but i recommend you do to support the development.

Not sure if the dev accepts community patches or not, but the game is public domain license.

I don’t think tar is actually hard, we are just in the time where we externalize more information into resources such as Google. Its the same reason why younger people don’t remember routes by name or cardinal direction as much anymore.

side note: $ tldr is much better than man for just getting common stuff done.

Depending on what you’re doing, Local LLM can help a bit. Like if i want a recipe for an apple pie i could use LLaMA-2 to find out even without an internet connection.

Not saying its a replacement for a search engine, i just think its worth mentioning.

(edit for grammar)

Ventoy feels like magic. Love it
