You have any 2.4 GHz WiFi problems? In theory there is a problem, and I know a dude with a lot of ZigBee and a lot of 2.4GHz problems, but without going over with work equipment and spending some time doing work for free, I can't be sure it's ZigBee. It's just my best guess.

Exactly how I felt about those pictures of Andrew Tate in swim trunks with seamingly no budgie to smuggle. Him being shitty to trans, doesn't make it OK to mock him for maybe being trans. Makes us no better.

You already married to ZigBee? If not, maybe don't. It causes 2.4Ghz interference. You'll need to think about WiFi channels and avoid ones that overlap with ZigBee. Either that, or use 5Ghz WiFi and repeaters to make up for the lower penertration (if an issue).

Academic. The EU has already done it and so we in the UK already have it. Our market just isn't big enough, relative to it's locality, to do something different. Whatever the EU does just washes over us. Only now we have no say in the what that is or how it is implemented.

We have wins before, via groups like EEF. There are Pirate Parties and all kind of Right To Repair and digital freedom groups. The corporations don't want us to fight or even have a voice.

Technical fixes only work for the technical and often it's technically working against the law. We need the law on our side, not the corporations. So we need to engage with law as much as technology. Or we end having to break technologies like secure boot and laws.

This is the problem with digital serfdom, those lording it over us aren't perfect either. Not only should we be able to connect our cars to our own server, we should be able inspect provided server implementation to see if it's a bag of nails.

Our emperor Elon gave him a fair trial in a court of his peers before serving out the sentence?

Totally not unchecked power right?

Not diametrically apposed to Right To Repair right?

Have a spoonful of horseradish and tell me British food is all bland. Or Marmite.

So less Reform/Conservative voters in the UK. Win!

 

It too me a while to work out why my Nextcloud stuff wasn't working on my phone. It wasn't until I went to http://duckdns.org on mobile data I saw the block. I had changed ISP from one with IPv6, which I had setup, to an ISP without it, and thought it might be that. But it was just coincidence.

I've written to O2 but I doubt they will change anything, so I'll be changing network.

So heads up UK O2 self hosting people!

 

So I've got Android as I want. LineageOS, no Google, Magisk, MicroG but with AndroidAuto with OsmAnd+.

But the outside world of WhatsApp, Bank apps, etc is putting pressure to join. Plus not everything works properly with MicroG instead of the Google service provider. Makes me cross techno-politically, but I can't always hard life tech choices when it effects others.

So, what do others do? At the moment, I've thinking I need a non-free phone and a free-phone! Then what, I keep swapping SIM?? I can't see a workable VM solution to run a non-free Android in a freer Android.

The state of the phone market is pitiful.
