For me, a C# developer by trade, this is easily solved with a one command C# call. It’s possible you already have dotnet 6 or 8 on your distro as there are many C# Linux apps now.

Any android device that was released since Android 10 can take a GSI image. I know a galaxy tab 8 can run the GSI from Andy Yan based on testimonials. I will eventually install it on mine. I have it on my galaxy tab 10.1 2019 and I added MicroG. I’ve been running that for over 2 years.
Install something like LineageOS and use Librera or another reader from F-Droid. You will have a much better experience. If you really want to ditch Android , maybe you can get Ubuntu Touch, but device compatibility is dicey.
I sidestepped all this crap by buying Synology in 2014 and upgrading 2 years ago. Sure, it isn’t FOSS, but it is very nearly plug and play.
I configured OpenVPN for when I want to use it remotely, and self host my music, video, and family photos.
Having the 4 drive RAID-6 gives me some security from the danger of losing data between backups.
I store all my scanned documents, ocr’d, and keep the paper under control.
I set up the mount points in configuration as dynamic NFS volumes and added Bookmarks to nautilus. You can get to the volume either with cd command or right-click -> terminal here. You can shut down the NAS and only lose the share, which returns when the system goes online.
This is much better than WbDAV, which is fine for simple sharing or for devices that can’t handle NFS easily like Android phones.
We are 90% there already. In many states, solar panels and usage have extra taxes. Most solar installations are grid tied and electricity sale prices to the company are fixed at a small fraction of their sale prices from those companies. Worse, if power goes out, you can’t use solar to stay electrified because electricity would leak out and potentially electrocute nearby line men.
Also, as the children become accustomed to having no freedom or privacy, it becomes easier to force it on them as adults.
This is pernicious totalitarianism. Anything you have ever done can be used against you if the state decides you are a threat.
Constant surveillance leads to more obedience, due to fear.
So far, DNS type blockers appear to be unaffected. I use adaway with magisk. In the other hand, I don’t generally use my browser to watch videos. I use Newpipe.
Reject and return all tax breaks, deductions or rebates - or you are affiliated with them and thus are impossible to trust. Oh, and return the government money you accepted for public secondary education. You government shill!
Okay, then every American who gets grants, welfare, or discounted education. Funding is funding. If you think 1% equals communism, or crushes integrity, there is no hope for you.
1% revenue support from Government is “state affiliated”? In that case every single media outlet is state affiliated by virtue of their tax breaks.
It’s what you can’t see that is problematic. The surveillance is turned up to 11. Ba-dum Tish!
Here in the USA there is apparently a glut of unemployed developers as up to 300k were let go between last November and July.
I’m typically competing with over 200 applicants, so they probably just keep interviewing until they get exactly what they want. Plus, ageism.
You use a VPN, right?
I toyed with i2p several years ago. Back then it was very frustrating - both slow as a snail and hard to find working, non-darknet resources.
I recently saw a c++ implementation, so I will toy with it again.
For now, a VPN is enough for me to be safe, and I can get speeds up to 15 MB on popular torrents.
You are spot on. I’ve had Decades of experience and success in this industry. However this year I was laid off in one of those 6 to 10% staff lay off things. Since then I’ve applied to over 100 jobs I’ve had at least eight interview processes.
I go through two to four interviews some of them two to three hours long. And I get to the very end, and then I never hear from them again.
Some have me go through leet code type algorithm questions online with 20 minutes to solve the problem. For me, that’s pretty much impossible. Others have me spend several days creating a project from scratch, they review it and maybe they talk to me about it afterwards.
Others don’t do a very good job of hiding the ageism, e.g. insisting I tell them what year I got my CS degree.
Given the level of experience I have with new technologies as well as old, I find it hard to believe that I’m not fit to be employed all of a sudden.
First piece of advice, do not be over the age of 50. It won’t matter how good you are.
Second, even if you think you’re really good at interviewing and going through the application process take seminars and classes on the topic and keep tweaking.
Third, it doesn’t matter if you completed successfully one or more multimonth projects in a particular technology. If you don’t know every little detail when they interview you, you are immediately written off.
I had one not even bother to interview me because I did not have enough years writing React code.
Another wrote me off because it has been a few years since I tech lead an Angular project. My most recent company used React. The one before used Angular.
Apparently we must spend all our personal time continuing development on technologies not in use for our jobs at the expense of our families or we aren’t worth the trouble.
Oh yeah, and we must be able to succeed solving random algorithm problems in under 20 minutes on the spot. That means we basically need to be able to solve them all because we’ll never know which one will get.
Here’s a supporting example; my son wants to see Blue Beetle. I checked it out, and the rental is $20 - for a streamed “right to view” which means there is zero marginal cost for them to produce, track, or retrieve it. Even with recent inflation, you can get a restaurant meal for that.
I’m pretty sure ethical pirating is mostly just justifying it to oneself.
That said, these corporations regularly steal from their customers and employees in many ways they can and cannot see. In that respect, pirating is more of a way to fight back.
Stealing is not ethical, but these profiteers do much worse on a daily basis, including stealing from those who created their profit engines. See Bill Willingham’s recent release of Fables to the public domain for a common example.
I don’t knowvwhat mtls is, but Joplin has mostvof what you want. It does not have card layout native, but there might be a plugin for that.
