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

  • 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 🙈
















  • I kinda disagree on the weather app subscription model.

    The API usage cost devs a fair whack depending on the sources they scrape from and while I’ve never used Today Weather, I have used FlowX (formerly WeatherBomb) for ages and the free version has no crap / ads/ nag pages with basic radar models available, but I decided to subscribe since it (besides supporting the dev) gives me high resolution radars for longer time-spans. And since I’m an outdoor worker too I thought it best to be on top of the weather.

    But overall I do agree some of the forced “subscribe or ads” model can die in a fire.
