An interesting take. Read somewhere that the reason Trump want's Greenland and Canada is so the US is bigger geographical than Russia. Was said as a semi-joke. But at this point I'm not ruling anything out.

Agree 100%. But where I live politicians always seem to focus more on giving tax cuts than maintenance and improving trains. The people should not accept it, but.. Tax cuts!

Good to hear! Didn't know that. Good news.

Agreed. Politicians should prioritize trains and public transport more. And bicycles while we're at it.

The problem with trains is they are public (under)founded. The rich and powerfull with political influence don't want working public transportation because less carsales, oil, gasoline etc.

Which explains why Musk prevented a high speed train in the US with his hyperloop. We all need to buy EV"s which have most of the downsides of traditional cars.

When we could have clean, fast and comfortable public transportation.

EDIT: Spelling.

Found the Thinkpad collector who is afraid of competition. Just kidding.. 🙂

I haven't had much experience with the newer models, so what you say may be true.

Don't know if it's a good deal.

As others here I will recommend also looking at other brands. I think that you get the best deal by buying used business laptops. They are cheap, good quality, built to last and often repairable.

Brand-wise I think Dell is OK, while Lenovo Thinkpads series T, X, W and carbon are even better choices, IMO.

Often thought of the same thing. So leaving this comment here in case someone got a good solution that don't involve big tech.

When I get the time my plan is to read up on big techs solutions, fx Google and Apple, who as I understand can give your family access under certain conditions if your've passed.

EDIT: And replicate their solution using FOSS / self hosting.

I have an old Google Pixel 2 XL, and would like to get started with Linux on mobile. What Linux OS would you recommend, and why?

 

How do you manage GPG / PGP Keys on android and Linux, and why?

 

Nice to haves:

  • Phone
  • GPS
  • Possibility for FOSS tracking fx using something like PhoneTrack and Nextcloud
 

I'll start:

  • RSS and blogs, news vs. social media
  • XMPP vs. WhatsApp/FB messenger/Snapchat
  • IRC vs. Matrix, Teams, Discord etc.
  • Forums vs. Social media, Reddit, Lemmy(?)
 

It is battle tested, standardized, widely used, have open source servers and apps, end-to-end encryption (OMEMO), self-hostable and are low on ressources and federated / decentralized.

I use it with family and friends. Conversations and blabber.im on android and Gajim on Linux. There's also apps for windows and Apple.

Curious if anyone here use it and why, why not?

EDIT: Doh. In these Lemmy times I forgot federated. Added.

I use it for news aggregation with Nextcloud news. Also for podcasts and PeerTube channels. Anyone using RSS for other things?

 

Currently using: Aeris, BitWarden, VeraCrypt, GPG etc. What are your standard and can't live without privacy/security apps?

 

I am using duplicati and thinking of switching to Borg. What do you use and why?

 

Is GrapheneOS the best, and why?
