@catsalad and as you lay in a heap at the bottom, these rocks stare

@wanderingleaf I was 46 when I moved from the US to Ireland. I now live in the Donegal Gaeltacht, so yeah I've been learning Irish too.

I didn't have a job in Ireland, no work visa. The actual visa category that I stayed on doesn't exist any more, so unfortunately you can't do exactly what I did...

@zetabeta this is a P60 Pro on de-googled Android.

@techindepth27 @droidify @LightningToaster @guardianproject signal website only sends me to google play. My fdroid app must've been out of date because even enabling the guardian repo, still didn't show signal app. Droidify worked, and the new apk is running now, thanks.

@LightningToaster @techindepth27 @guardianproject Thanks I'll check where I installed it from and try fdroid.

@dansup @matrix @xmpp signal still just crashes on startup on my Huawei phone. It apparently uses google APIs so it certainly isn't escaping from BigTech.

@hacknorris @hamatti these books are categorized as children's novels, for children aged 5years and up. Somehow I think they'd be beyond a particular orange president's reading ability.

@lerudd @dianea now that you mention it, that sounds vaguely familiar. But that was really old, with 13 sectors per track. After moving to 16 sectors per track there wasn't enough space. And then full-track copiers hit the scene anyway.

@dianea hm... just gave me an idea - I was thinking it'd be cool to have your sensitive stuff mounted on a separate filesystem from your regular home. But even with encryption it'd be easy to spot.

How about a filesystem that's interleaved with an existing filesystem? E.g. both in one partition, but using alternating blocks, or alternating extents.

I suppose once you create something like that, people will know to look for it.
