If you want a device to do NFC payments you’ll need to look somewhere other than GrapheneOS. (Believe me, I’ve tried everything)

Coarse Salt. Add just enough water to move it around + a little dish soap and shake. Works like a charm.

Amazing work! I’m very excited to see mobile Linux reach a usable state for every day processing. Thank your for your time and energy. It is valuable and going to good use.

Why the Pixel 3a? Is there anything special about it (or not special, which might mean my old 3XL is good for more than gathering dust?)

How can I get involved? I know my way around C and would love to pitch in.

“Chuff” in the context of rock climbing = bad, made an effort but didn’t get very far / fell a lot

Even in the US, state-level representation hardly counts as local. Neighborhoods, towns, counties, etc. all have people representing them.

It’s cool to care about and build up your community.

Even faster – tailscale. For a cheeky way to play with your friends make a burner account with a shared login to get on the same tailnet for free. On the endpoints, turn off tailscale-ssh and any of their other “features” you don’t need.

I immediately thought this was salt. Maybe I’m the monster.

GrapheneOS! I’ve been using it for a few years. Never going back.

Is this some Network Allowed problem that I’m too Network Not Allowed to understand?

I’m a big fan of buying power tools twice. I happen to go Ryobi for the first round but Harbor Freight / Northern Tool are probably similar.

If you can stand the fuss, buy corded tools and skip the brand loyalty that comes with batteries.

The biggest killer of cheaper power tools is generally heat. There are plastic components in the drive train. They hold up great to short jobs, but heat is their kryptonite. If you let a Ryobi tool cool down whenever you notice it getting warm to the touch it’ll last a long time. If you need to run a tool for hours at a time then skip the fuss and go straight to a more brand with a good reputation like DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, or Milwaukee.
