If you happen to be on an IP address Google likes.

There always have been some sites blocking VPN traffic but it became widespread last 2-3 years.

Unless you live a very dynamic lifestyle that requires your calendar to be 24/7 synced, you can just use whatever server software you like, make it listen in LAN only, and have your devices sync when they’re at home.

DecSyncCC and Syncthing is another option.

Maybe use a filesystem and syncthing this way? https://github.com/39aldo39/DecSync

Or you could use the free tier of some PaaS like
https://render.com/docs/free if you prefer a traditional approach. Just remember to make backups, if it’s free it can disappear at any time.

Created a profile. Created a share link. Sent to a friend. Friend clicked the link.

What I expected: a chat will open What happened: we both were seeing the “connect peer” screen and nothing happened.

I’ve read the documentation that pops up and it doesn’t really describe what to do, just says that it uses webrtc and is nice and private.

Is it an Unihertz in your pocket or are you just excited to see me?

Same boat as you, I like how Unihertz phones look, but there are only some half-working lineageos images for them.

But it looks like people are working on it https://xdaforums.com/tags/unihertz/

Install dovecot and set up your email client to connect to it. Email is trivial if you’re not sending to other hosts.

The next step is Anydesk and losing his life’s savings

Yeah they fucked up v30, i updated from v29 a few weeks back and had to restore it and now I’m back at 29

I got a Sharp Android smart tv last year when my 2006 Samsung died and it works great without internet access. Cheapest one there was.

There are so many cameras on the market, just don’t connect them to the internet. If you have a budget, buy an NVR, otherwise install Motion or Frigate on a PC to store footage.

Which reminds me that rss-bridge has a Facebook backend that sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t

I used to have a burner account and a program that logged in to FB with Selenium and converted certain “pages” into RSS feeds. It worked great when it did, but Facebook has a lot of measures against scraping, and I burned out trying to maintain this.

I don’t know a way to read their content without an account, which excludes me from a lot of local events.

Yeah until you try to find a cab in a non familiar city while being offline.

Blame computer scientists from the old days for inventing simplex/duplex for one way / two way communication

Telegram just sits in the background and works, I don’t understand OP’s problem. The only downside compared to gplay version is that there’s a persistent notification.

But “look at the evidence” IS “trust noone”. Neither science nor journalism has been built on “trust me bro”, religion and politics was.

The line of thinking you’re promoting is how dedicated political party fans behave, they distrust anyone who says the party has done something wrong. That’s also the exact mechanism of how child rapes have been and are happening in the catholic church. The good priest may have told little Pete to suck him off, but he’s an authority and why should we trust a kid over him.

So it’s like Seren, but for Android instead of Kodi, and with a mandatory server part?

I don’t know about electric but the regular ones are available in basic versions without internet and “luxury” ones with all that crap
