not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

  • This kid-friendly something where rules are more strictly enforced and moderation could end up with the kid’s school being told about the kid saying the N word or whatever

    I remember entering an incorrect domain/regex to an Automod config once. Thankfully because I checked the logs often it only happened for a short while, and people didn’t get too mad.

    But then you have really incompetent operators like those censors over in Italy and Spain with PiracyShield™ etc

    I mean - 30mins for them to block Google Drive nationwide is something I think no-one wants, without some level of accountability, but when you’ve got dickheads like me that can regex out Nigella Lawson Pr0n accidentally, is scary.



  • Because I generally travel within the UK, it’s rare for me not to have an internet connection so to be honest I’ve not really cared for a SD card for a fair while now. I understand in places like the US / Aussieland they’re a godsend to some but I’m fairly ambivalent on the subject now.

    And having a ridiculous amount of storage on tap from a couple of NAS’s accessible via Tailscale, and my last three phones having between 256GB-512GB internal storage SD cards are pretty much relegated to other devices like my drone/GoPro etc. edit: I suppose another thing that fills the void for me if I do need extra storage on my phone is I can just plug one of these into the USB port from my keyring, and I’ve then got unlimited replaceable storage?

    Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s stupid doing away with it and other things like IR blasters / headphone jacks and, more irritating to me? Notification LED’s. My Nexus One had one, my Mi A1 and Cubot had one but I can never understand why they ain’t a standard thing across the board.



  • That would be neat.

    Like someone else said in here maybe the OP could use a really long cable to a USB drive away from the main server, but I do like the idea of something using hybrid wire(less) to auth.

    They could even have a UPS underneath a Pi Zero and, have a PoE HAT too + travel router. Plug in LTE USB with backup SIM card, epoxy all that together and then hide it?

    lol, paranoia fixed.


  • I like this, and I suppose it’s a shame a Rasp Pi can’t be WOL’ed.

    But could another SFF single use/secured device on the same network that doesn’t have FDE, also provide that key only if and when you wake it up (manually decrypt the file after ssh’ing into it too?) instead of having a USB drive directly plugged into the main server so, if a nefarious person does have away with the main bounty they’re fugged without said second hidden device on the same network?

    ninjaedit: I also at one point in the past did Wireless WOL (wireless NIC’s with WOL were prohibitively expensive at the time of me playing) via a Travel router that was acting as an Access Point, simply to wake up forward the magic packet. You could really hide that thing 😇






  • Huh. The nearest I have to an actual “AOSP” device is my King Kong Cubot phone that has probably the cleanest version of “stock Android” I’ve ever seen, and I’m going to presume you mean like a Google Pixel / Graphene etc?

    Tailscale and the QS tile / notification was solid on that Cubot but to be honest, I’ve barely turned it on these days and is now one of those drawer phones.

    Miui / HyperHyperOS though is a different kettle of fish and exempting Tailscale from its App lel Killer does seem to work. 70-80%ish…

    But there is something that just fuggs up and turn it off/on like most thingys I own 🙈


  • What device/ROM are you using?

    It’s been very iffy for me on and off from Miui > HyperHyperOS, but just checking now?

    Works fine

    Like I say, the foreground notification seemed to be the lifeline to some of us using it and keeping it alive, even after IIRC some more restrictions came in with future versions of Android (forgive me, I’m very lazy these days and just skim Mishaal’s TG feed 😇)?

    e: also dupe comment ;)

    I think it’s actually my instance not loading “SD” images (sometimes not initially, sometimes, straight away?) and it’s not until I click the “HD” button does it actually load images like the above?

    My instance thou is mainly run by a couple of guy who are a little busy IRL and it might be playing a part in what happened above since Nicole generally gets through most of the time.

    Bad, Nicole 🫢
