    Im really really tempted to delete my linkedin. Its never got me a job in my life, but I did notice a lot of people look at my page before I got a couple in the past.

    Its not a very good system. Its just more professional facebook with less subtlety about people looking at your page. And they lock EVERYTHING down that is useful in a paywall.




  • You already mentioned it but Fairphone + TMobile/Mint is a decent combo. The phone itself is fine with /e/. The only downside is the pictures/videos are not the greatest. I would recommend getting an actual camera/something a bit better if that is important to you.

    I get the same coverage as my old stock android phone so its not a huge difference. I got the Fairphone 4 because the parts are easier to come by. They update the software ever month or so. No problems so far.











  • I think a good test is to shut off your house internet and see what things you still need. Like actually disconnect the router and only go off your own infa. What can you get done, what things do you still need?

    For me I found out:

    1. All my software development packages, linux isos, etc… are ALL online. If I was unable to get on certain websites, I would be SOL in doing most of my software development. Even simple stuff like installing via apt would be VERY hard.
    2. While I have OSM (open street maps), I dont have address info saved anywhere.
    3. Most of my mesh stuff (meshtastic) has online tools for all the builds and deploys. Meaning if the website goes down im SOL getting new nodes out in the wild.
    4. Entertainment is pretty much covered, since we dont have anything streaming anyways. We try to keep things DRM free to begin with so books/audio/movies can go to different places without worry.
    5. Radio still works, so news isnt really a big deal.
    6. I need to get a backup of some encyclopedias and/or get wikipedia somewhere hosted. That would be fun and informative.
