Gmail is one of the most, if not the most, annoying recipients to avoid the spam category. My ISP lists their non-business IPs on Spamhaus PBL because they’ve monetised having a static IP and decided email servers aren’t for residents. But I’ve snoozed – they haven’t been the highest rated ISP for years and the new highest is perfect.

I do this with @duck.com except it’s free and supports generating alias addresses that can be disabled.

Fatal police shootings in the UK are getting more common. In 2019 one man was “lawfully murdered” because an officer said the victim’s mobile phone looked like a handgun.

In the UK the term is defined by the government as anyone who is deemed by the government a threat to the government or the people or someone’s property or the predominant local religion. But recently it’s been exclusively used for the first one. In this country state law is valued higher than corporate, moral, ethical and religious laws, so YMMV

Introduction
The Terrorism Act 2006 uses the definition of terrorism contained in the Terrorism Act 2000. Section 34 amends that definition slightly, to include specific types of actions against international governmental organisations, such as the UN. The definition in the Terrorism Act 2000 (as amended) states:

1. (1) In this Act “terrorism” means the use or threat of action where:
2. the action falls within subsection (2)
3. the use or threat is designed to influence the government or an international governmental organisation or to intimidate the public or a section of the public
4. the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause.  

(2) Action falls within this subsection if it:

1. involves serious violence against a person
2. involves serious damage to property
3. endangers a person’s life, other than that of the person committing the action
4. creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public
5. is designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system

Section 1(3) to (5) goes on to expand on the effect and extent of this definition.

'Member when all insane folk had to ramble to was the wall of their abode, perhaps a leashed parsnip? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Pepperidge Farm is alive today because of a discount Justin Timberlake.

No, the article is about sharing files between Android and iPhone. It is the topic.

I never said AirDrop, I said quick sharing, and it’s OnePlus. They’ve been integrating themselves with Apple for a while

First they yap about Samsung’s flagship bar phone’s selling points except many of its features are Android 15, included with all Android flagships, and now they pretend that Google’s Pixel series are the first Android devices to have this feature…

When the Galaxy S25 was sold with Gemini 2.5, I’d had the same model for a month. And now this… My phone’s manufacturer has built in compatibility and quick sharing with iPhone for a year.

Afaik copyrighted, DRM-protected content is encrypted at bitstream-level, meaning only licensed receivers have the ability to decrypt it. If the receiver doesn’t have the key, that portion of the stream will be blank or substituted by the receiver.

Maybe a Wayland integration in the browser is the solution to this - if it’s built in there may be a setting in the browser to enable playing DRM content

The longest ever flight used a much simpler toilet

TL;DR:

Bathroom duties were handled with a folding camp toilet and plastic bags, which were then deposited over uninhabited areas of the desert.

OK, if this is mostly successful they need to extend this to scalped tech. Ban any resellers from selling above RRP

Right? My one has developed a nasty case of defective WiFi/Bluetooth chip. I’m convinced it’s a superficial, intentional break.

Aside from being hella slow, I just don’t like that it can’t use the same directories as my network shares and requires uploading. This script might help but honestly I just stick to the basic shares because of this

From my experience using a mailserver with no PTR and an ISP who likes to put their addresses on a PBL, it’s very good. Gmail tends to be the most annoying and wants that PBL listing removed or you’ll go to spam for new recipients, but other than that 10/10. I’d be interested to hear what your findings are if you do test it!

Get yourself a Sonoff ZigBee bridge! Hue light support is practically native, and they act as extenders to reach your other ZigBee devices! Just don’t expect to be able to sync them with any movies or peripherals. I think there is a virtual Hue bridge on HACS and that might help with that, but idk

Smooth sailing for me too, shockingly. I’ve recently added my 26th service to Proxmox - LibreELEC (Kodi), with the very complex matter of monitor passthrough. It’s such a versatile program and it has replaced my Chromecast with more features and side bonuses than I could’ve imagined. Another huge step towards degoogling.

Nice… I use ytdl-sub for downloading music, highly recommend it. Running it as a user whose primary group matches Jellyfin is a must if you want stuff saved next to the video files… The dev is also very active.

I just installed Ollama and use gemma3 to now. I wanted to use dolphin-mixtral but holy crap it wants more RAM than my entire setup

Snikket is great. I liked my choice of Prosody with Monocles and Gajim for server, Android and Windows/Linux, respectively

XMPP for my attempt just worked, voice and video calling too. The Android clients Monocles, Cheogram and Conversations are great, as for desktop they all look like 90’s messaging clients haha

I ultimately switched to Matrix because the encryption key sharing is much more friendly, at least for helping non-enthusiasts use it, and I didn’t realise I could decrypt old XMPP messages for new clients by transferring them manually, but at least Element Web is nice. It has flaws, definitely - on Android I find myself using Element Classic for creating unencrypted rooms and voice/video calling using my TURN server, and Element X for general messaging, caption and Markdown support. That’s another thing - for me the Element clients are the closest to being usable, the few others are borked.

In short XMPP is ugly but functional, and the client devs try their best, and Matrix is enticing but, as you said, finicky. Element is pretty but their new client that promises full e2ee for calling hasn’t reached a level I would consider out of Beta yet.
