“the thing” being running GrapheneOS ofc

Hopefully it comes to more than just pixels, especially to the likes of Graphene and Lineage

I agree with the other comments that you get what you pay for.

I’ll also try to offer up a solution that I would consider if I were in your shoes, depending on your precise needs: IVPN offers plans starting at 1 week for $2.

This was you’ll get premium speeds only for as long as you need them.

Not saying you should use a credit card, but I haven’t seen this point made so I’m going to bring it up.

Everything is more expensive because of credit cards. That 2% cash back doesn’t come from nowhere, and it isn’t (only) sourced from people paying interest on their payments. Every transaction at a store that accepts credit cards is 2-5% more expensive simply because that store accepts credit cards. The credit card company charges a transaction fee when it is used, and the store isn’t going to change the price of something based on your payment method. So everyone pays the 2-5% markup.

This is why I personally have credit cards and also why I would support getting rid of them.

The price and quality of the $1.50 Costco frank haven’t budged in 40 years

This is not true. While the price is the same, the bun has gotten smaller, so you’re getting less hot dog for the same price. The all-beef weiner is the same though. Does that matter? Up to you. But the product has objectively changed.

Great job!! How are you liking /e/?

I agree the addresses display strangely but the search still works, so it’s okay for me.

But I’m really commenting to say that the left of the four buttons can be changed! Settings > Interface > Left button setup. Mine is set to add a place to OSM as I like to edit, but it can also be a shortcut to settings, record a track, or be removed entirely.

I got the 9 because it has reverse wireless charging and just put a case wkth magnets on it. 10/10 would recommend

A little more context:

The US Embassy has urgently advised US citizens across the Middle East to ‘consider departing or be ready to depart if there is an escalation [in the Iran war]’

According to @wicked@programming.dev people who are allergic to shrimp are also allergic to cockroaches

So if you’re allergic to shrimp you can’t have coffee I guess

Thanks! I’ll give it a go at some point, I greatly appreciate the help :)

Did you make any modifications for large file uploads? My main problem was that big files (As in 5GB) would fail.

I’ve tried to use quantum and it lost the “just works” factor that OG filebrowser has. Not sure what I’ll do now

Genuine question: why would they build this on ATProto instead of ActivityPub? Is it better applied somehow?

We (in the US) pay something like 3-5% more for things to cover credit card transaction fees. If you’re not getting rewards for that purchase, you’re simply losing all of that money. That’s why I use a credit card with rewards, and it’s also a reason (alongside the points in this post) that I would support any movement to get rid of them.

I was just looking into this. My strategy was to see where privacy-conscious people actually put their money. For example, the GrapheneOS project uses Porkbun.

I now use Porkbun and have no complaints. My requirements were to be cheap, have WHOIS privacy, and support DNSSEC.

I think this may need more definition - it is illegal to drive without car insurance in the US, so I find 54% hard to believe

I’m in a similar situation actually. I use MySudo for VOIP wherever I can. It’s essentially my spam number just to get codes on, but I’ve never tested it with WF specifically.

Tello and US Mobile are they best “real” number carriers I have found. $8/mo, and you can pay another service to forward all messages to your extra-US number. You’re trusting two parties for it, but I haven’t found a better way.
