Set up “no trespassing” signs. Delivery people (usually) still deliver packages as they were invited to the property. Record neighbor trespassing AND stealing, prosecute for a double whammy.

Depending on state, both offenses could be criminal charges, meaning no cost to you.

Absolutely go for the kill and send a clear message.

Neither of those 2 companies are privacy respecting though.

I use a few MA apps, none of which have declared the internet permission. Nor would I ever want them to have internet access.

But a few MA apps actually do require internet to work for their intended purpose, and I will never install one of those out of fear all the MA apps “secretly” talk/share/IPC my data with eachother, effectively granting all the non-internet apps the internet permission.

I’m not saying this is happening. But I’m also not about to delve into the entire codebase to find out.

Maximize gains for the short term only, and screw the long term. Of course!

I think showing tracker info is still a good, insightful thing. Sure, giving an impression one piece of software is better than another because it has less trackers is a bad thing. Users that care about functionality will vet apps on that regard, same with security and privacy conscious users. Some users just like the app to be pretty, and if they ignore everything else but make a decision based in tracker count, all the better in the long run.

Been using zfs and btrfs for so long I forgot ext4 was a thing. Oh my.

No power as in from the grid? Fire up my house generator so we can at the very least have water (from a well), heat (in winter), and preserve the goods in the refrigerator (was once worth a fortune!). Its powerful enough to do everything else though, as if we were on-grid…

A day without power? Not in my house for the necessities stated above. While tent camping, sure, but I mean I still bring my phone and a battery pack to charge it + lights and stuff… so hmm

Back when rooting was all the rage I tinkered with hosting various services. It just didn’t make much sense for such an underpowered device, amongst other reasons (battery swelling).

I did use an old phone to “host” a game automation. One of those “idle clicker” / RPG games since I’m so lazy. After about 2 months the battery swelled and popped the back cover off. That was the end to that idea…

Restoring a local Signal backup doesn’t let you use the same profile on multiple accounts, it forces older profiles to deregister. Try it.

Signal allows just 1 device at a time, and you need to register by phone number. Unless you use their tablet mode which stores data on server… Maybe check out other projects without such requirement?

Even with rooting (to the dismay of GrapheneOS PR team, so sad), Signal will not backup or restore properly since it uses Strongbox, so you cannot clone it amongst profiles or users. Thank the Titan chip for that. Legit a good thing, except it your case.

Just don’t use Signal.

Out of long-range missiles? Sure.

Out of ultra-long-range missiles? Baby you know better than to speak of such things!

Why not collect them both?

What a neat concept. I love to see innovation like this. Sure, it is markably worse throughput than basically anything else, but it’s something completely new.

The only situation I can see this being useful in is if wireless RF is being monitored, or a mass gathering where uni/multi-cast is simply infeasible.

As it is now, at least. Would love to see it developed further. I have serious concerns at how well it’d function in low light.
