I have signal installed direct using obtanium, with the background connector enabled. I’ve not yet had an issue with it.

Have you tried tailscale with an exit node? Could be worth a test, if it works, some combination of other providers might too

Hang on though, if it’s web stats, how many of those impressions are ai bots scraping training data claiming to be Firefox users?

Don’t those likely read as Linux from how they fingerprint on TCP connections?

Muppet Treasure Island, and “Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends Ep.16 - A Fire Star is Born!”

On VHS, of course!

Well, apparently Meta’s pixel tracking script was bypassing that VM and SELinux enforcment to exfil tracking impressions for years and doing it by creating webRTC dummy ports, that were chatting with their own apps (Instagram, Facebook, ?WhatsApp?-not sure). So not sure this was a great implementation to begin with.

And this was working despite sandboxing on other browsers

Thanks for the feedback - It was a systemd issue. Something caused it to continue generating slices for espanso until the machine locked up - probably spawned with each terminal. It happened on out of date fedora install 36 (when 41 was out) with gnome on it.

Since then I’ve moved to a window manager for all my machines and would likely invoke it the same way - perhaps now it’s time to revisit!

I used eapanso for a few years, but kept running in to issues with it spawning hundreds of versions of itself.

I really miss it though. Would you say it has matured?

We’re everywhere!

And search.

Strimmer out here in Bermuda too

Ctrl +a and Ctrl +e for beginning and end of line are from Emacs.

GNU Readline is what provides them in the bash. There’s a bunch of shortcuts worth learning in there!

Most distributions I’ve tried use Emacs as the default shell binding style, some of the bindings are even available in things like appliance cli’s like Cisco IOS and clones.

Bash supports vi mode too, you just have to switch to it.

set -o vi

ZSH uses zle (ZSH Line Editor) instead of Readline, but I assume the Emacs style bindings have been copied over to zle for muscle memory portability. You can switch the keymap in zle,

bindkey -v

or set your own!

It’s common with rootless docker/podman. Something needs to start up the services, and you’re not using a root enabled docker/podman socket, so systemd it is.

Lots of this is covered in longer form, though still light detail in this video

Sounds like I won’t be using Vanilla because that (obsidian + synching + tailscale) is definitely my primary need.

The last time I played with it, I just remember thinking, cool - but why?

This issue is described by Poe’s law.

Also, nothing electronic implements the various suggestions on irony punctuation.

I dunno about that, but there is a bit in there about burning bulls testicles to appease the lord god

That’s fair, there’s other angles of observation made available already.

Seeing as you like speculating about cyberpunk, how about if observation is just the initial way to way to sell the drone cloud? Depending on how cheap you can make them, there’s an argument to made for reducing time-to-intercept for low-speed aerial objects.

If you’ve got a bunch of drones overhead already, you could run one in to the path of a kamikaze drone, or if your swarm is even lightly armed, you can extend engagement range and reduce required accuracy with a single buckshot shell to shoot an offending drone down.

If you’re content to prioritize executive safety over public saftey, there’s a lot that can be done.

Drone displays terrify me.

Not to mention, the minute it happens, the government will carpet the skies with observation drones in the name of safety

Just a little piece

I run grim/slurp

Looks like it does, but can you confirm if the script run fine from the terminal?

Can you send your hyprland bind config from your hyprland.conf? You’ll want it set up as a global bind so no applications eat the keypresses.

Also, have you looked at wev or xev to find the name of your printscreen key?
