I’m just this guy, you know?

Direct message

I’ll sigh, shake my head, and think, “That figures”. And then I’ll go to work, like every other day.

I sync bookmarks between devices and sometimes send a tab from one device to another.

EDIT: I trust Mozilla way more than Google.

It happens with liberals, too. Having said that, people really do need to go outside, get away from the 24/7 media feed, talk to actual people, and apply some critical thinking on their own. None of us is the main character.

No spark in their relationship? No potential? Maybe there was tension.

The Republicans need a reboot

That sums it up. I’m conservative, but the GOP is such a train wreck now I just can’t support them.

During the pandemic, I stood up a Jitsi server on Linode and we ditched Zoom for our weekly family get-together calls. Sometimes the audio was not quite as good as Zoom.

If you set up SSL with LetsEncrypt, your call is encrypted “in flight”, but is apparently unencrypted for some portion of its travel through your server.

If it’s a one-on-one call, the two parties are connected directly and skips the server.

I haven’t used it in a while, but end to end encryption was still experimental a couple years ago. It didn’t work on all devices. Something to look at.

Jitsi Server works pretty well on a $5/mo Linode Nanode, so it’s worth trying. Especially if you get their $100 credit on sign up, you can try hosting it for free for a couple months. It’s available as one of their Marketplace apps, so it’s easy to set up.

That sounds like a commercial. I’m not affiliated with Linode, except for being a satisfied customer.

How about Mozilla’s VPN? Is it not just Mullvad under the hood? I ask because I use Mullvad, but I would also like to support Mozilla.

Some of those panels and indicators seem to be lit. Is there power? Is some of that still working? I would have thought that whole thing would be powered down, including all its support mechanisms.

I thought all the comments about “Bester” were about Bester from the Firefly episode “Out Of Gas”. Guess I need to check out Babylon 5.

What I heard on the news is that the crew received replacement phones with no SIM cards. So… thanks for nothing, friends?

Or do the crew have their own SIM cards or internet access on board?
