I have never used the RFinder but the guy who developed it is local so I’m aware of it. https://rfinder.shop/product/rfinder-m6-dual-band-dmr-4g-lte/ it looks awesome but is more expensive than a really good HF base station so ymmv

There is a setting now (in all types of client I think) to log out when you close down the browser. Your comment makes me realize that I probably want to NOT set that on at least one machine. I set that on the machines that are out and about.

For the server I’ve used gogs for many years. It was easy to set up and has a web interface. What client you use is really up to you with git.

you mentioned you’ve used joplin. All my notes are in markdown and I’ve been using Obsidian instead. Obsidian includes support for mermaid and can render (relatively simple) flowcharts.

I’m upvoting you because I know what you’re trying to say. Personally I don’t have a lot of time to game anymore but I vote with my wallet and I try to only buy games on steam that are linux native. I have found a lot of great indy games this way and I don’t feel like I’m “missing out”. Still, I get it.

oh this one is going to be so pissed when they find out they also re-mapped the keyboard shortcut /s

Yeah because its just Chromium which isn’t an awful open source browser developed and maintained by Google.

In a 2019 hearing scrutinizing the merger, Legere told the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology that after combining with Sprint, T-Mobile would have thousands more employees than the stand-alone firms combined in its first year.

“By 2024 we will have 11,000 more employees,” Legere said, according to a transcript of the hearing.

“Our critics are wrong about the impact on jobs,” Legere added, responding to a skeptical analysis from the Communications Workers of America labor union. “I have looked at their arguments and supposed analyses and they do not make sense. They ignore the facts. They don’t account for any areas where jobs will grow, like network integration or new customer call care centers.”

Sometimes what doesn’t kill you leaves you with PTSD

Setting up an old PC with linux and just not installing a GUI as already suggested might be a fun project to do together and exploring various command line programs (maybe ncurses based programs like mc, ncdu, etc.) and I just read about a cute text adventure called bashcrawl which teaches unix commands as you play (“cd” into a room, “ls” to show the items there, etc.). There are so many bash programs (and games) like gnugo and chess that are interactive but without a GUI. Here was where I read about bashcrawl (I haven’t tried this myself): https://opensource.com/article/19/10/learn-bash-command-line-games

Ive had a couple Nokias now (Nokia is Finnish) and find them pretty robust and both have been Android One phones so there is basically nothing on them which isn’t just stock android. Plenty fast enough for me. Note: I only buy low end phones (~$300) so YMMV

The add-on I linked is written and maintained by Mozilla and was updated as recently as Jul 6 of this year. The blog post you linked to is from 2021. If it wasn’t doing something more it seems like Mozilla would be wasting their time. I do admit to being too ignorant about everything it is doing and thats on me, so if anything your post has made me want to know more. Here’s the repo where it is being developed: https://github.com/mozilla/contain-facebook

Seems like a great time to mention the Firefox Facebook Container add-on!

Livemarks Add-on for Firefox since I spend most of my time in the browser anyway.
