  • Foss app to block spam calls (android)

    Jump

  • I use Yet Another Call Blocker. It has a custom block list you can use to block a specific number.

    The block list also supports wildcard characters, which is my favorite feature! I use it to block swaths of numbers (much of my spam comes from the state I used to live in, so I block those area codes).

  • minetest changes name to Luanti

    Jump

  • "Minetest" was a clunky name. Wish they'd have changed the name sooner.

  • Besides bars/clubs/restaurants, where else do you go/do when you want to get out of the house?

    Jump

  • I wanna try a drive-in movie! But I guess they were before my time... :(

  • Has anyone added the VPN to your router, and what has the experience been like?

    Jump

  • I set up ProtonVPN on the router for a few months & the family hated it. HATED IT! They were constantly asking me to disable the VPN so they could log in to a site here, or make a credit card payment there. It was a mess.

    Eventually I just disabled it on the router & ran my VPN at the device level. Much better now & the family doesn't hate me! :)

  • What was the last song you had to press repeat on?

  • Interesting article about optimizing time

  • Glad you liked it!

  • What's your favorite CLI utility to screw around with?

  • Console version of dungeon crawl stone soup

  • What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?

    Jump

  • Using an ad blocker

  • Stuck in synchronization loop (Android)

    Jump

  • Update for anyone who might be experiencing this issue:

    I finally found a workaround "hacky" solution. I exported all of my notes to a backup file on desktop, sent it to my phone, put my phone in airplane mode, imported the backup, deleted all of the duplicate notes which resulted (because the phone was partway synced), turned off airplane mode, synced, then switched to desktop and synced.

    In the syncing process a lot of notes were unnecessarily deleted and replaced with exact copies. So it wasn't elegant, but it got the job done. Everything seems to be working now (I think)

  • What are your games to get into the season for its vibe?

    Jump

  • Autumn is always Diablo-season in my family. We'll play a modded Diablo 1 or 2 together. It's tradition!

  • Is there such a thing as a bullshit-free news agency?

    Jump

  • Stuck in synchronization loop (Android)

    Jump

  • Thanks a lot for the help. I tried it all but no luck. I also realized that Fdroid uses a pre-release version of Joplin - so I downgraded to the latest on the GitHub and then repeated all of these tests/suggestions but still no change.

    I've reached out to the devs via a GitHub issue. Hope that helps. Thanks again!!!

  • How do you interact with children?

  • Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store

    Jump

  • That's insane!

  • My new favorite way to play

    Jump

  • What do you mean? That's the same layout as the SNES controller, & it's what most of the retro handhelds use.

    Also, it's running Linux so it's easy to remap the buttons to a custom layout if desired.

  • What do you think about codeium?

  • Car Privacy is Shit

    Jump

  • Oh, it looked Ok in my app (Voyager). But I added the line break.

  • Depending on the car you might be able to physically disable telemetry. Here are some thoughts/ideas I've been collecting:

    • Hit "SOS" button and opt-out of all services through customer service. This of course requires trusting the company to actually do it.
      • It's possible that the info could be stored locally and then uploaded when it gets serviced though
    • Remove the fuse to the modem/data communication module (DCM)
    • Disconnect wiring to the LTE antennas
    • A number of people have mentioned that they can get the dealer to disconnect the telemetry as a precondition to buying. For instance, here.
    • Jump the data communication module (DCM) cable with a ~$70 dongle to bypass just the telematics components
    • Disconnect the DCM cable, which will likely gimp the infotainment if not other systems, or remove the entire DCM unit
