That’s fascinating. Can you recommend any books on the subject? The easier to read the better!

I remember the impact it had when it came out. Beautiful

John Mayer’s cover of Free Fallin by Tom Petty. The vocal, the sweet guitar. I love it.

Tax evasion/fraud. I think they were involved with arms and drugs too but it was the tax that they got nailed for. Spent most of their twenties doing some very hard time.

Don’t forget that the president of the United States is caught up in all of this too.

A couple of guys I went to school with got up to some mischief in Thailand and got sent to prison there for a few years. They were pretty different by the time they got home.

I’m in the habit of powering off so that if my laptop is lost or stolen I will have the peace of mind of my data being in an encrypted state.

If I get time to find it I’ll post it but there was a famous study where researchers in the UK looked at a smart thermostat and figured out how many privacy disclaimers you would need to agree to to use it lawfully. It was in the hundreds. There was also those photos of kids on the toilet that were taken by an Amazon robotic vacuum cleaner that got leaked. And police getting called out to a murder in the US that was recorded by Alexa.

It’s probably a pacing thing. Having a section of the film where the protagonist has to sit down and learn about threat models, flash a Tails image to a USB stick and fiddle around with PGP keys before they can communicate securely would probably ruin the vibe.

Of all the things you could do with your finite existence in this world, you choose to dispute the name of an open source selfhhostable bookmarking app

🤦‍♀️

OK, does that mean it’s not possible to have a public IP using a cellular device?

Awesome, that’s very close to what I had in mind in terms of hardware.

I’d mostly like to host a lightweight website but perhaps also some communications stuff like xmpp and maybe even email.

How does that work? Thanks :)

I absolutely love independent technology like this 👍

What I’m currently missing is a simple app for keeping contacts synced between my android phone and Linux desktop.

Excited to see what you do!

You might find that more insulation helps if it’s condensation. You’re effectively sleeping on a hammock, so you could check out some hammock camping forums.

I had to sleep on one of those for an extended period recently and had the same problem. I highly recommend finding an alternative!

Yeah I know what you mean. Map downloads especially can take up a lot of space/take a lot of mobile data to download. I tried to copy them across manually once but it didn’t work.

Organic Maps is definitely easier to use, especially for new users but OsmAnd is more powerful. I have both and they’re awesome.

This is what can happen if you don’t get anyone to look after your house when you’re away.
