I use Debian btw

Maybe you should try Dove or Dial instead?

Shrink-ROM from Terry Gilliam’s Zero Theorem.

One thing I have noticed a lot of lately is that people just don’t want to have to fucking read at all anymore and it kind of is wrecking my faith in humanity. Asking people to read isn’t a big ask.

You could ask the same about US tech?

Dope, thanks for the heads up

The real issue, whether on Amazon or ebay, is that only a handful on ebay are listed as “unlocked” to be used on cellular networks other than Verizon.

Maybe? The Orbic is fully Linux whereas Android is a locked down heavily modified version Linux with a lot of differences in the codebase.

Androids only work as a WiFi hotspot. I could be wrong but I am not aware of any with cellular hotspot capability. You would need it running as a cellular hotspot for it to detect the stingrays.

This thread seems to imply that it could work in Europe for US Verizon customers, but I can’t find much else about whether or not it directly supports European cellular radio bands.

From the Github (emphasis mine):

Rayhunter has been built and tested for the Orbic RC400L mobile hotspot. It may work on other orbics and other linux/qualcom devices, but this is the only one we have tested on.

Still very cool, but very, very limited options for using it.

On the plus side, it at least seems like a relatively inexpensive option, only $19 on Amazon.

To be clear, I’m only linking to it on Amazon because it is sold out from the manufacturer itself. Due to being sold out, I assume, Orbic doesn’t even list a price for it.

Another important note from the Github (emphasis not mine):

THIS CODE IS A PROOF OF CONCEPT AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON IN HIGH RISK SITUATIONS!

Dang it I finally literally just updated yesterday after not updating for like six months and being lazy haha.

Nice new features though and no breaking changes so no big deal. Just update it again today, I guess.

On top of a therapist, a group session that works on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy principles also helps because it puts you in a situation around other real people who are dealing with similar issues as yourself.

The problem (in the USA at least) is affording access to either of those things might be more complicated.

This is the actual best suggestion in the thread, though. Self-hosting an LLM is nice and all but what this poor soul really needs is therapy with a human.

Speaker brand, they may be looking for some software for managing it. Probably gonna need to run it in WINe.

AMD drivers: Native, will auto-install as the mesa library, AMD is tits in Linux, it just works.

Gmail: Thunderbird works with Gmail accounts and can sync the calendar.

iTunes: Rhythmbox has a very similar layout to iTunes and so should feel pretty familiar.

Anti-virus: Linux doesn’t really need antivirus in the same way Windows does because it’s more locked down and doesn’t have the same vectors of attack. If someone is hacking a Linux machine, it’s a corporate server, not your desktop PC. If you still think you might need one ClamAV is available for Linux distributions. (.deb for Debian derivaties and .rpm for Fedora derivatives)

Py-Charm: As others have noted, Python is installed natively and is usually already implemented “out of the box” on a fresh install. No need for a program to run it, Python is just… there already.

Remote Desktop: Whatever distribution you have will likely also come with a Remote Desktop client. I am unaware of whether or not they will connect natively to iOS.

Star Citizen: You should be able to add this as a non-Steam game to Steam and use Steam’s Proton compatibility layer to play it. A few years ago they were literally asking for Linux players to test it with Proton and Easy Anti-Cheat.

VPN: Linux has extensive VPN support including “roll your own” through either OpenVPN or Wireguard.

Windows Games: Steam, using the Proton compatibility layer, which is essentially WINe, just made a little easier. As with Star Citizen, just add it as a non-Steam game and viola.

Windows 10: The Distribution of your Dreams is just around the corner… I’ve heard Mint isn’t a terrible place to start.

Xubuntu soared on my 2007 iMac with no issues whatsoever. 😎

I am not OP but I actually have similar questions on backup because I didn’t have access to my Immich server for a few months and got really behind on keeping it updated. I want to make backups before I do a manual update, but I don’t know if following the directions on Immich’s Backup and Restore page is good enough or if I should handle it another way manually.

Just be careful running a Tor node and what kind of data could be flowing through your machine… It’s Tor… so some of the data can be pretty fuckin unsavory while other data can be political dissidents who need safety.

No problem, you still raised important points either way.

I didn’t mean to imply I support violence as a first strategy.

I actually wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. Partially because the violence against us is coming anyway. It is clearly planned. They are telegraphing what they intend to do, which is criminalize half the country so they can put us to death under the guise of “why couldn’t they just follow the law.”

That being said, just because the violence is coming doesn’t mean inviting it right away is the best solution. The best solutions are the kind you suggest but also using Mutual Aid to develop Parallel Systems.

Parallel systems are simply systems outside of the capitalist mode of production and integration. Providing water, food, medical care, housing, support, and so on. The efforts of the Black Panthers were an exercise in developing parallel systems. The Black Panthers also knew violence was coming which is why a contingent of them were armed. Having such systems in place makes it easier for individuals to survive a long-term General Strike.

The testimony and cross examination of undercover officers by Afeni Shakur stands the test of time when she showed that the people pushing violence in the Panthers were undercover police officers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afeni_Shakur#The_Panther_21

Shakur got White to admit under oath that he and two other agents had organized most of the unlawful activities. “She asked him if he’d ever seen her carry a gun or kill anyone or bomb anything and he answered no, no, no. Then she asked if he’d seen her doing Panther organizing in a school and a hospital and on the streets and he answered, yes, yes, yes.”

We must be prepared to resist the violence that is coming, but to do so without organizing and planning is a fools errand.

Evidence to support your view:

I have cancer, I have often been open about it here on Lemmy. Several times post-Luigi I was told I should “do some good” and “Luigi myself” since I’m already at risk of dying under this oppressive regime.

Lazy able bodied fucks asking the people who are actually suffering to do their dirty work for them. I remember distinctly saying at one point “Maybe for the first time in history it’s time for the able bodied to stand up for the ill, weak, and disabled instead of expecting us to off ourselves since in their eyes we have ‘nothing left to lose.’” It’s a cruel joke.

Truth. Treating it as nothing is doing the abusers jobs for them.

Reading, writing, and helping others read and write is liberation. Knowledge is power.

Why else would they be gutting educational institutions?
