Awesome! Keep signing though, some signatures will fail to validate so there should be as many as possible.

Yeah. In my case, I’m mainly only doing this for irreplaceable data, such as documents and photos.

Not disagreeing with you

Holy shit, who cares?

the Playstation 2 launched at $299 USD.

Not disagreeing with you, but with inflation that’s about $558 as of this comment.

Hard drives are affected by bit rot even when not in use. A disk check every six months would help, but is not a guarantee against data corruption or loss. M-DISCs are physically etched, and should last around a lifetime to a thousand years, depending on who you believe. The catch would be being able to read it in the distant future (in other words, if you’re using M-DISC as a backup solution, you should also have a backup disc drive).

Yeah, forgot to mention pets. All of mine hate the fireworks, so it makes for a miserable time all around.

How do fireworks help my neighbor’s PTSD, let alone my own mental health?

I can grill on my own time, thanks.

I haven’t “celebrated” the fourth in nearly a decade for this reason. On top of that fireworks are pretty bad for everything and those with PTSD.

Yeah, it’s one of those things where I was vaguely aware of the hazard, but for some reason wasn’t consciously acknowledging it. Since I came to that realization, I’ve started to gather all of my lithium batteries to take stock and start to get rid of some.

I’m definitely more worried about the batteries I’ve forgotten about that ended up in boxes or drawers. Another thing to keep me up a night, yay.

I lost my model A1263 in a box during a move. I’ve been looking for it over the last couple of weeks once I was notified about this, but no luck. I actually emailed Anker to ask if there’s a risk of fire even in storage or not in use, and apparently it can happen even when not under any load and completely discharged.

I don’t even know if I still have it. Fingers crossed that my serial isn’t one of the affected ones, but I’ll keep looking and hoping that it doesn’t burn my house down.

The donut shops around me are so much better anyway, so even if you don’t want to get healthy, there’s probably better options.

It’s a proposal, not a for sure thing yet.

Funny but I dunno if I buy it tbh, using an EpiPen alone is a medical emergency requiring medical attention. It’s not something you can just shake off.

You can use Molly from F-Droid. They even have a full FOSS version that you can set up a self hosted notification socket for, to avoid Google Firebase.

Molly is great.

This only affects mastodon.social IIRC

So much for keeping the US out of war…

I can’t speak to beef, but there is more to Android security than what Google provides. That’s what Graphene is for, to make Android even more secure through hardening various attack surfaces and introducing other completely new security features. If that weren’t the case, Graphene wouldn’t be necessary on Pixels because Google does monthly security patching for them.

It’s also at the firmware level, which Google does not provide except for on their own hardware, and on top of that Google phones are some of the only ones capable of providing some security feature at the hardware level. This seems to be the main thing the Graphene team is trying to point out.

Graphene is centered around security. I’ve heard bad things about Fairphone in that regard - the Graphene team even talks about them in the replies on that thread.
