That is a good post and I hadn’t heard of the T2S+ before. But it costs $300+ and is around 50K pixels (256x192). I see that an 160x120 FLIR Lepton module is $184 these days (Digikey). So this new stuff is competitive but not revolutionary imho. It’s good that the FLIR monopoly is finally broken though. All that existed earlier other than FLIR was very low res devices.

Thanks, it’s late here now but I’ll try to look soon. I didn’t realize significant improvements over Goldberg etc al were really possible. I’ll try to understand that too.

Is there another post somewhere giving a general description of what you are doing?

Do you have a link about your messaging app? And PIR doesn’t conceal the existence of traffic, so it doesn’t seem like the right thing for messaging. It’s more for databases as the name implies. What exactly are you trying to do?

If you look at the petapixel article, they complain about the speed (10mb/sec not 100) and have serious doubts about the reliability. Using this for backup or for security cameras sounds like a bad idea. It could still be good for some things like carrying your movie library on your phone, while still having a stable copy at home.

This seems to be different and is geared towards directly looking after other humans. Hactivism as I’m used to the term, can often be technocratic.

I mostly notice it in the feed, not sure about other places. I’ve just give back to jerboa from Voyager now that I have a new enough phone to use jerboa again.

Yes, remove the thumbnail and expand the text into that space. Sorry for the confusion.

The options I see there are card, small card, and list. All of these show the thumbnail. This is in 0.0.65 currently on f-droid. Is that not expected?

Did you just discover this? It’s a Microsoft site after all.

No a lot less, twilio is $1/mo, see also VoIP.ms and vitelity.net

This was basically Blondies Pizza back in the day. Also the nitter thread is from 2019.

I’d say run a local imap server rather than dealing with the weirdness of storage shares across multiple OS’s.

If we told just anyone, it wouldn’t be private!!!

Srsly any phone app is inherently insecure because the phone itself is insecure. And there’s lots of metadata leakage, like the phone broadcasting its location. There is no “go to app”. It all depends on what you are trying to do and who you are trying to communicate with.

If this is for live disks or mirrors (not backup), LUKS is reasonable. Backup is different from mirroring since one of the things it protects you from is accidentally deleting files. If you delete a file from your main drive, it also disappears from the mirror drive, so mirrors are not backup. For encrypted backup, I’ve been using Borg backup which is quite well thought out, though confusing at first. The backups go on a remote server which is ok since they are all encrypted.

You mean the blog link? That’s an awful lot of articles. Is there a single sentence somewhere saying what it is?

What is the project anyway? It’s not obvious at all.

Sort by newest first.

They want to obsolete all our phones again? No thanks.

There is already a subscribed tab, and I use it most of the time when I want to catch up on selected topics. I use the local or all feed when I want to browse a wider view of what’s going on in general. Right now the total amount of Lemmy traffic is small enough that browsing that way is tolerable, which it wouldn’t be e.g. on reddit.

I do think that the Lemmy software design is more meme-oriented than I’d prefer, because of stuff like the thumbnail pic with every post in the main feeds. The more interesting parts of reddit to me were text-only and we don’t have that here.
