Can someone explain this to me. When you setup pebble on this new open source app, does the app connect to the internet? Who controls those servers? Is it rebble or this company LLC that Eric created? Who is server admin?

I wanna discuss with you, because this is exactly what I thought… I’ve gotten almost down to, contacts/email/messengers and then there are a couple apps which does govt id (like 2fa) that don’t have desktop version, grayjay, osm, whether, gadget bridge etc… And that’s it. I was wondering if any device with Ubuntu touch could do that. And one interesting thing I wanted to think is that if there is a cm5 (the blackberry raspberry pie thing) that connects to a 5g hotspot for wifi, can I run max things via browser and IP phone…etc… Would be an interesting experience/ experiment

Obsidian and good ol’ paper and pen. (or epaper). The paper I use is on bullet jpurnal style.

Look into /e/OS , lineage, and graphene. On the /e/os page, there is a big explanation also on grapahenes documentation page. That helped me a lot.

Which elements do you want in it that you can not find ? Only simple transitions like this or I am sure you have specific issue… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WzigWN_c2g

1. I have no idea how and which server I joined, is there any manial I can read better yet visually see how servers are connected that are federated? Thx. And when we search something does it search across all servers? Thanks.

Same question but instead you only use launch control, so no loss of reaction, and don’t go over speed limit… Although the cop would hear the brup, brup, brup, brup… Braap… Brrraaaap, and you slow down the rpms to not exceed speed limit…

Is it possible to setup this way;:

1. One password gets into your first profile that is protected with a
2. Duress passcode
3. 2nd password/just fingerprint gets you into a 2nd profile, that is, everything you don’t care about…

I haven’t tried graphene but thinking about it now…

Coprporates only understand 10k/10Qs, market caps, and wealth increase for shareholders. So, that’s right, quarter on quarter or year on year trend movements will be the only thing because certain EPS is not reached because sales was low, this is the only metric they will understand. I was watching a documentary once and there was a town or group of villages in India somewhere which had made a system to have near zero wastes in their eco system of crops and gardens and they went pretty much self reliant… I was like why can’t we do that… I don’t know whether that requires lots of research or whatnot… But if any significant group of people can do that, all of the system will come begging… On their knees or will try to destroy the doers.

On the graphene website, I would recommend reading their full “Features” page. It explains a lot.

In addition also look at /e/os/ as well. I am currently de googling from my primary phone to a secondary phone (on my old phone; I flashed /e/os/ on it. And it have no Google apps. They have micro g integration built in. And I use “shelter” to create a work profile to isolate the apps that are not privacy focussed and they forever live in that sandbox, and you can turn off and on those apps with one click".) Changing my email address to govt/doctors/etc. And backing up data from google account is taking the longest before I disable that completely.

Using Linux since 2008 ish… (As non IT user), I recommend going and route, and using pop os (or bazzite which people say also works well but is personally haven’t tried), I am currently using tuxedo os on my laptop but my pop os journey for your use case on the home machine has been the smoothest, and if you go do route which I did, I had never thought about any driver issues… The only thing in pop (which I haven’t updated for a year now, yeah life got crazy), was that always do apt get updates / upgrades as pop OS’s package manager gui used to get stuck sometimes, once the terminal completes the updates then use the GUI to update the pop os things. Other than this small hiccup, never had to do anything else. (Oh yeah when buying hardware some people told me that getting the latest and greatest cutting edge sometimes takes time for the kernel to catch up to the optimizations of drivers, but I always bought 1 or 2 gen behind the latest and never had any issues, I mostly play Indy games other than 1/or 2 like Tekken series at 2k monitor so I never cared about 4k 120 or above fps.)

I had system76 and now on tuxedo. I will buy tuxedo again…

Give it a try of you really want to know…

Mines comin up as well… I always struggled to be in the “here and now” and been too busy for years and dropped most of my hobbies, found a very old camera that I bought in 2010-11 from the storage room… Its too big, started looking at what is currently available, found Ricoh griiix, saw some forums with the sensor results and pocketability; might get me back into photography, back into “here and now”… Take a look if you are into that… Just leaving this thought here…

There is a ducati panigale sitting inside a box which I haven’t even opened for 2 years… I am too scared. Was waiting for my kid to get older and then make with. Almost there… ;)

Long story short, look at system76 and tixedo computers. I used to use s76 bit now I use tux, couldn’t be happier. (I come from a long era of thinkpads…)

I did it, it started with not buying them and not including in any ordering of food, delivery or in restaurants. Step 1 was to replace it with sparking water and mixing a spoon or two of raw fruit reduction (no aded sugars or anything) (my wife kept doing this, while i did the cold turkey method i just coud not be bothered by this) Step 2 completely replace to sparkling water only. (i kinda jumped on this, but sometimes used to use my wife’s made fruit reduction, or sometimes she bought that from a local store, and sometimes i just felt fancy so, there is a method for a drink and here is how it goes.: Step 3: Fancy option / only for special occasons (lol). You buy the sparkling water in botles, (for the 250ml) you add a tea bag in it and turn them upside down, and put it back in the fridge. Then 20 mins later, you can add agave syrup if you want a bit or honey. You can also add mint leaves, and just throw them in the bottle you are going to consume 30 mins later or next day. Combine things like this, and then you have a fancy drink in the dridge whenever needed. (i never left the tea bags more than an hour in the bottoles, i would always get rid of the tea bag and put the bottle in my edc bag when leaving the house or something).

I have a 10 years+ of this experience… There are a few things, you can DM me if you want to go in details. Here is a list in no particular order.

1.My host machine is always been system76 or tuxedo computers and OSs have been Ubuntu, Manjaro, pop os, Debian And a fee others. deb based have worked very well for me… .

2. I have a VM that is setup as a work machine of Windows 11.

3. My 2nd client is a control freak so they sent me a laptop which is sitting permanently in my closet connected to a raspberry pi with a hat. Its basically a KVM over IP. My machine /phone/tablet is part of my private virtual home network so I can jump into that machine with any of those devices with just a browser.

4. From your Linux host machine dedicate one browser altogether to office e.g. if you use Firefox dedicate a Chromium to that office. Bonus points if that browser is in a docker :) then you have no cookie mixing and is a cleaner setup. From this dedicated browser use “login. Microsoft. Com” without spaces ofc, and can use all apps (if the admin has allowed it from your comoany) and there is no hyper overkill intune or other Mac address / machine name related shenanigans setup by your company admin.

In my story, it started before 2010, I tried the Linux (Ubuntu) host and wine based office apps and that was slower than (and had issues other than slowness, I sometimes have 200mb+ of excel files with is text only CSV before I convert them into something sensible) and VM based workflow was faster and more stable. TBH I didn’t delve into wine based apps since then because the work/clients logging also get machine info. Etc… In a VM I can control most of it and in a kvm over ip, it’s completely stealth. You can connect a Macbook pro m3 for the heck of it on that KVM setup and no one would have any idea (apart from hardware name of monitor and keyboard mouse names, which you can go extra mile and change if you really want to)… (FYI I am not an IT person so apologise in advance for the above if this is an overkill, this tipic is dear to my heart and is a hobby so to speak, so happy to help if you DM me)

Yeah no you are right. I waited a couple years for pine64 tablet to become a commercially available project then gave up…then used paper and pencil a nd took photos everyday of my notes pages and manually stored them… But after a few notebooks my backup was getting large and tagging pages with text tags was getting annoying so Now I use go10.3 which wasn’t as expensive as some of the other ones like remarkable paper pro or boox tab ultra C pro… I use that offline. Copy things and docs via USB from laptop, and backup things manually and copy back into laptop manually…
