Yeah, that’s all fine - when it works, it works well… But sometimes it just seems to get caught up in an error and can’t seem to reset for a few minutes. But ok, looks like your setup’s working ok, so must be just mine. I disabled a load of Google stuff and run trackercontrol (a local VPN on the phone that blocks stuff), so maybe I’ve broken something…

Yeah, I kinda thought, well, technically the floor plan’s correct - there’s the round part there and another there and, ahhh…

Hmm… I’m using gotify with a Ras Pi to send the alerts and I sometimes get long delays…

AFAICT it’s the phone, not the Pi, but all I can see are lots of websocket errors in the gotify client the time… are you not getting those then?

Maybe it’s ONLY cobwebs? 🕸️🕷️

I literally LOL’d

What the hell is that ceiling made of? Cotton wool? Sound proofing foam?

Edit: and £110k?!

we are very excited about being part of the Claudflair team

Guess they’re so excited (and thrilled) that they forgot how to spell

You’re not paying £1.7m for a house… you’re “investing into a lifestyle”… those arty photos will sell it more than any details like dimensions

Yeah, my reading speed has decreased a lot as I’m continually trying to assess if what I’m reading is true or not

Like, maybe the AI was the true story and the April fools story was the April fools? 🤯

Are you saying I could get Linux running on my Fairphone 3+?

Mind you, yeah, 3G switch off would then make life difficult…

Enterprises just lease desktops / laptops and replace them with the latest version of Windows… my team used to be after reasons to get the latest OS / laptop, now IT have to prise them out of their hands

Backups… fine

When’s the World “test you can restore” day?

I’m considering going this route - just to hide my (static) home IP.

What’s the rough sizing I’d need for a VPS? I’m guessing the smallest possible, but with the best / unlimited data usage?

Ok, so setup a DC (in a VM on your linux laptop), install Win11 joined to that domain, create a local user, then leave the domain & destroy the VM…?

Or install Linux 👍🏻

Dunno how long you’ve been online, but you should’ve seen searching before Google came along… it’s still better now.

But, there was not much tracking back then…

Depends… if you use an offline password manager ( like keepass), you can ask it to autotype your credentials into anything… if that’s what you ask it to do (ie it’s not a fault)

Main point though: don’t reuse the same credentials across different sites.

They’ll get 1 site, but not all the rest of them…

Was that the one with the vertical task bar that couldn’t be changed??

Or is it better now…?

Proton VPN for Vivaldi is only available for desktop at the moment. We hope to include it for mobile in the future. https://vivaldi.com/protonvpn/

1. Agreed
2. Well, if it’s the free tier option, then I guess not a lot…?

I’m all for revenue income to support these tools - as long as I’m not the product - I just won’t be using this option.

Yeah, just read a bit more, where it’s implied that Vivaldi recommend you share your Vivaldi account recovery with Proton, which was the problem recently:

https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/privacy/proton-vpn-for-vivaldi/

Allow Vivaldi to share your account’s recovery email address with Proton (only shown during first use).

https://www.theregister.com/2025/03/27/vivaldi_proton_vpn/

Proton VPN is operated by the same company behind the encrypted email service, Proton Mail. The business found itself in hot water in 2024 after complying with a legal request to hand over the recovery email address for a Proton Mail account.

Hmm… this doesn’t sound good to me.
