Well bugger. #Starlink appears to be down over most of the globe.

@npub16uk…pv7k Yup, politicians are either cutting government services so their mates can barge in, or creating government services so their mates can run them. Kind of win-win as long as you're on the winning side.

@npub16uk…pv7k It's not like we need to grow more trees or anything...

I've installed it, haven't activated it yet. Nudge me if I slack off, currently not in a, uh, appropriate condition :P >hic<

Thoughts on Briar? Is this really what Signal should have been or am I missing something? Seems to have acquired desktop support since I last looked https://briarproject.org

@npub16uk…pv7k Mmm, a glass of copiate and a bowl of crisp, porky copium.

Gosh, I'm lead story on RNZ over a interview on potholes. Getting a bad case of impostor syndrome. Much more newsworthy stuff than me out today.

In order to "securely" log in to an MBIE site I just had to accept two XSS vulnerabilities. Making those a legal requirement is a bit dicey IMHO.

Ok #Linux bods, transferring files via wifi to/from an Android device. How?
KDE Connect, a corrupt-o-tron. Bluetooth, takes forever. Airdroid, fail a minute AND slow. SSH, very dependent on access permissions and needs setting up/starting/restarting in advance. All the populist touted ones, web GUI and offsite data transfers. My quickest reliable zero config solution is to send Note To Self through Signal, but can't do batches or specify the target location. Surely there is a better way by now?

@npub16uk…pv7k We seem to have a choice of being screwed by either undesirable policies, ineffective policies, or unattainable ones. Yay.
