    Apple AirTag alternatives for theft prevention?
  • In my case I use a GL300MA tracker on the Hologram network, and it sends data to Traccar on my server.

    Apple AirTag alternatives for theft prevention?
  • None, they're all on a cell network so your info is registered with the SIM and the location is tracked by the cell provider, and they share data with the government and others.

    Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months
  • Is that any different from no one checking the code every update?

    Open Source Everything: A curated list of the best open source software
  • Yeah a table with text instead of emojis would be easier to read, the problem with emojis is constantly scrolling back up to remember what they mean. And you can't really scan through quickly.

    Recommendation for Email-Provider
  • Oh for sure, the better alternative is your own domain with either catch-all or self hosting something like addy.io, then you don't have any risk of losing those email addresses (assuming you don't let your domain expire).

    I'm always surprised how poor legibility the most used digital map has
  • For my area it wouldn't really be possible, there's maybe 1 place that regularly has gluten free stuff, but the rest need real-time data pulled from their facebook or something because it changes daily/weekly what they offer.

    Recommendation for Email-Provider
  • Basically all email is E2EE already since SSL/TLS is usually used for transport, even gmail and similar. But encrypted at rest in theory would help with stopping people from reading emails off the server.

    You also have to trust that Proton truly doesn't have your keys to decrypt, but I imagine they do since you just login with a username/password combo and that's enough to decrypt the emails.

    Although I don't think it matters that much, my email is basically receiving notifications from services I use and occasional emails with a friend about planning a trip or something like that, nothing that particularly needs to be super private, just using a mail provider that isn't actively scraping my data for ads (aka; gmail) is enough for me.

    For private communications I would use something more suited to that, like any of the reasonable E2EE chat apps.

    What is Signal? The basics of the most secure messaging app: Modern phones can easily have multiple messenger apps on them
  • Well part of the frustration is setting them all up again on a new phone or after wiping a current phone. Most privacy oriented apps have a rather rough/painful set up process, especially when trying to restore backups of your data since they often don't automatically back up and restore for you.

    HaLow Wi-Fi has now been tested at 9.9 miles — new Wi-Fi world record is a near 5X increase over previous best
  • Looks like around 4Mbps link speed, so great for sensors and remote monitoring/controls and that kind of thing.

    Sort of in between LoRa and normal Wifi.

    Recommendation for Email-Provider
  • Fair warning though, using a service like addy.io with randomly generated emails can go bad if they ever shutdown, you'll be left with tons of accounts on email addresses that no longer exist.

    Recommendation for Email-Provider
  • they have an easy way of creating alias-emails

    With mailbox.org and other normal mail providers you should just be able to set a catch-all address, then you don't have to create aliases at all, just type "whatever-you-want@mydomain.com"

    If an email provider charges you more to create 'aliases' run far away and pick something else.

    I wouldn't switch to Proton personally, they require that you use their own apps or use an IMAP bridge which doesn't work on Android/iOS. Their ecosystem feels very restrictive.

    I don't see the point of an encrypted email provider like Proton, since 99% of the emails we all receive aren't encrypted anyways, and sending encrypted emails only easily works to other proton mail users.

    James Hoffman's AeroPress recipe is not that great
  • Regardless of whether Hoffman's stuff is good or not, coffee taste is kind of a unique thing for each person so experimenting and trying things until you find what you want just makes sense.
