  • Jottacloud?

    Afaik these types of AI operations (e.g. face detection) can be done on the cheapest devices since years.

    Pushing images through local models for classification shouldn’t be really concerning. But I would recommend to take a look at the terms of service and privacy notes.

  • Signal Contingency Plan (spoiler: it's Delta Chat)

    Jump

  • Any software used by enough people will be targeted.

  • Signal Contingency Plan (spoiler: it's Delta Chat)

    Jump

  • Nope. That's not how Signal and E2E encrypted messaging works.

    If a government asks Signal for user data they get an almost empty sheet of paper. Search for " what data does signal collect" to confirm that.

    If - on the other side - your smartphone is compromised or unlocked there is almost nothing Signal can do to prevent governments from looking into your data. Also it reads like some agents simply joined a group chat. Again: nothing Signal could prevent.

  • OneDrive Alternative

    Jump

  • I went with Jottacloud for pure file storage.

    If you need some online office functions, nextcloud could be a good solution. But then again there are companies like mailbox or ksuite which, which might offer well integrated solutions.

    Jump

  • If the vibes keep on deteriorating and there would be a crackdown on messengers and signaling infrastructure a messenger is the last of your worries.

    And if Signal gets specifically targeted, there will be warning signs and time to shift away.

  • Coworker wants to try Linux with gaming, Bazzite or Mint?

  • buy-european.net down?

  • You are right. How odd.

  • Which distro is closest to 'GUI/UX for everything, absolutely no CLI' approach like Windows or Mac + and just works (ie passes LTT Linux test)

    Jump

  • Would suggest Linux Mint

  • switch from Whatsapp to Element (matrix)?

    Jump

  • Messages get re-synced from other instances, even though you want them to be gone. Meaning uncontrolled rise of storage consumption.

  • Alternatives for Photoshop?

    Jump

  • I was fine buying it, too. Now, I bet they will integrate it into their online services in order to have people hooked up.

  • Alternatives for Photoshop?

    Jump

  • I used Affinity on Mac and Windows. It was the affordable, well-thought-out, performant Photoshop competitor and is now free to use (with a Canva account). Some folks got it running with wine and there is an easy to use appimage ( see articlke )/

    I got it running easily, but didn't test it fully, yet.

  • switch from Whatsapp to Element (matrix)?

    Jump

  • Self-hosted and bridged: half a year.

    I quit that experiment and registered an account at a generic instance. Needless to say: it is only me and some public rooms.

    None of my peers engages me there. They really don’t want to waste time with registration, backup keys, and concepts.

    Jump

  • Affinity

    Someone just recently managed to get it going.

  • switch from Whatsapp to Element (matrix)?

    Jump

  • Hosted matrix for a while. It is resource greedy and the message retention was/is a mess.

    Honestly, I don’t see how my folks will ever switch. WhatsApp and Signal are conceptually much easier to grasp and use.

    Currently I’m glad, whenever somebody switches to signal (and I choose to fight one battle at a time).

  • Looking for military surplus quality winter coat

    Jump

  • Varusteleka actually started as a surplus store and is now producing their own brands (Sämär/ Sämär TST). They have the same manufacturing as Savotta, which is top notch.

  • Switzerland eases arms export rules as its industry is shunned by Europe

    Jump

  • Nah.. they realized, that nobody is buying their military stuff because of restrictions.

  • Switzerland eases arms export rules as its industry is shunned by Europe

    Jump

  • A late realization.

  • Looking for military surplus quality winter coat

    Jump

  • Take a look at the US Army ECWS layering concept. Layer 7 is a winter insulation layer with primaloft.

    Surplus does often just mean lowest bidder, but you can find some civilian brands like Helikon-Tex (Poland). They take an adapt (and improve) on gear.

    The Dutch military used an insulation jacket made by Snugpak. When it comes to real good stuff, I would always recommend Snugpak and Carinthia 🤑(especially the LIG/MIG/HIG or ECIG series). The later is just superb (rated for -30˚C)
