“It doesn’t exist if it isn’t written down”. Someone said that to me long ago, and it really changed my perspective.

I recently came across the PARA concept - everything we deal with falls into one of these 4 categories: Projects, Area of Responsibility, Resource, Archive.

I restructured my OneNote notebooks to use it, and it’s been a game changer. Now when an idea comes my way, I can immediately categorize it so I know what to do with it (even if just on my head). I added a final R to my notebooks - Reference, because I save a lot of info that I need access to.

It surprised me that at any one time I have about 30 ongoing personal projects. Seeing them laid out as tabs in my notebook makes them more apparent, instead of just floating around in the back of my head. I’ve even Archived a few after seeing them languish, and realizing they were fleeting ideas I really don’t need or have time for.

Great idea!

I’d consider breaking it down a little more - first go just make the list of ideas. Then a second time for prioritizing or developing pros/cons.

While I despise all these hackers these days, I feel like these companies deserve it, for their utterly non-existent data handling protocols.

Lol, are you me?

Umm, no shit?

Hasn’t this been well established since like first grade?

Cell tracking is external to the phone. It’s done by the towers - they know signal strength, and by using known tables of that data, cell providers know pretty accurately where your phone is.

To block this you’d need a device that lacks any cellular technology whatsoever. Wifi only.

And that has the same issues, especially with companies like Comcast/Xfiniti using their cable modems to track all the devices around them, even if you don’t connect to them.

Texting uses http over the data channel for MMS.

Config Jellyfin to run as a service when you install.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/windows/

Windows supports this.

I’m pretty sure I read a post years ago about how to run Jellyfin as a service (I think it’s even documented on the website).

It already runs as a headless service that you access via a browser, so you just have to configure an actual Windows Service.

I just checked - installing as a service is part of the installer, right on the Jellyfin website.

My favorite is being provided a solution but with absolutely no context or how the solution addresses the root cause.

Everybody in my team gets to own something. What you own depends on your capability.

This is a point I try to constantly make when people don’t understand why 2 people have the same title but don’t really have the same job, especially in technical fields.

No two people have the same set of skills, so we all end up taking on the tasks we’re more capable of than the next person.

Hey, hey now, no kink shaming found here! 🤣

Snikket seems to be it for iOS. But it does work pretty well, I haven’t run into any issues with it.

For Windows well, nothing does voice as far as I know.

Tailscale has the Funnel feature, which can funnel traffic into your Tailscale net for you.

There was a really good explanation by a rando about how it happened. Seems a dev made a mistake when publishing a change.

Apparently bitwarden immediately changed internal procedure for publishing changes.

Ubiquiti?

You can’t give me that garbage. I despise it, after setting up a single access point (plus also watching friends deal with it at client sites).

Besides the discovery issues and slow performance when trying to manage it, I had a random open network on it after setup. This network didn’t appear anywhere in the control panel. I could turn off the access point and the network disappeared.

It didn’t show up in the guest network config (which was turned off anyway). It had the same name as the WPA-protected network, it was just open - no security at all.

I had to reset the access point to get rid of this weird random open network.

What kind of garbage product does that?

Now let’s look at cloud keys. One has a hard drive in it. Just one drive, 3.5", which besides storing data also stores the OS. What? Why is the OS not on some firmware or at least an M2, since the drive is really for storing surveillance data (did I mention it’s a single drive?), what a joke. Why would I bother with such an expensive device that has zero fault tolerance, when I could simply buy a cheaper real machine, run multiple drives, and host the software there?

I lack the vocabulary to describe how bad Unifi is.

Are you me? The only difference is I just switched to a Pixel 5. My 2006 car should run for many more years, 10 at least.

Just this month I finally moved off my 2017 flagship… Only because my cell provider stopped supporting it (for no fucking reason).

I was running the latest version of Lineage too. Thing was great. It did need a battery (which I may still replace for about $7).

And like you said, sometimes you need to replace a phone.

Maybe it was lost, or destroyed.
