Same with James Bond

I watch videos and read articles and use LLMs to give me the key points to grasp the basics. Then build upon that knowledge with more focused learning.

I use a real sounding name like [email protected]

The more real it appears the harder it is to distinguish garbage data. Also a personal VPN with aguard home running. If I end up choosing a real existing email, well I’m just helping muddy the profile of someone else.

No shopping apps ever, loyalty cards in a fake name with email aliases to a central junk mailbox.

To hell with the lot of them and their business model.

They can profile the device and get hardware info depending on make and software etc but the gold is their app which sucks up everything including your phone number and what you visit on their network. I wouldn’t dream of connecting without a vpn unless it was an emergency situation.

That being said data is always preferable when you have the option.

This is the way. Fuck them.

Linux kernel

OpenBSD

Gnu Hurd

Debian

Tor

Fdroid

SteamOS

Vulkan / DXVK

Wayland

Firefox

They can all go suck a lemon. Shell , coke , nestle , google, Microsoft, Netflix and rest. Fuck the lot of them

7z usually.

Sorry for your loss. ❤️

That was really interesting. Thank you for sharing with us.

I have a rough outline of things I’d like to see. Such as some tourist attractions , nature sites , zoos , museums etc.

We do as many as we can but also eat out along the way. We avail of metro , trains and walking where possible. If the city has a river or canal tour we usually do that too.

Mainly it is just to unwind and get away from the rat race for a few days.

Sounds like some journey. Do you have any specific memories that stand out during your travels ?

I’d try each application one by one. Maybe write a script to monitor load and stop the program if it goes past your desired threshold and notify you.

It could also be a setting in some app like photoprism or immich … I think one of them uses tensorflow to classify images. That would increase the load if thats running in the background.

Maybe try them with an empty directory so there is no data to process and see if you encounter the error. Then add some data and see how the load is.

If it doesn’t have to be a TV but just a screen a monitor may be an option. Otherwise I’d look at eBay or something like that where people are selling old ones.

Regularly delete stuff, you dont want your sd card popped out and accessed. The devices are encrypted but the sd card is not … At least my device doesn’t have that option. I also ensure I have backed up my 2FA codes if the phone is lost or stolen, you dont want to be locked out of your accounts. freeOTP+ allows you to export them.

I used to cover them camera with tape but I have to many signal video calls for that to be workable.

Vitamin C , lots of water. Rest and real non processed food such fresh fruit and vegetables. I also avoid carb heavy meals when unwell to give my system a break. I still eat some carbs but just keep it light.

EA and Ubisoft.

Most clothing brands… I’m not paying a premium to be a walking advertisement and its all made in sweatshops anyway. I’d rather some non branded stuff so I’m contributing less to that whole system.

I dont care about all of the android watch or apple airtag stuff either. The new phone can do xyz… Great still dont care as its a tracking piece of shit that will break in a few years… I may as well keep my current piece of shit until the wheels fall off.

Subscription services. I used to use Netflix back in the day when you only needed one subscription and changing the DNS still worked.

I use free Spotify with brave adblocking and newpipe for music. I hear sailing is lovely this time of year.

TLDR: I avoid most corporations where I can , I think valve are the only one that I dont mind interacting with.

The current work week, there is no need for it to be that long with the advances in technology. Capitalism, its a pyramid scheme that is unsustainable.

I’ll stick to signal
