I made good brussels ONCE. I have the recipe and tried to do it many times, never could make them good again, always too bitter. I know it’s possible but I’ll wait a decade for stars to align again.

Yeah, one man did hours of profiling and the other made the patch more elegant lol

I wrote something myself because I wanted PGP support, but saw some apps on Google Play (I’ve been still using it back then). I can’t recommend anything, sorry.

For calls - yeah, tough stuff. I’e been looking to do the same thing you did, and found there are GSM USB dongles (modems) that can work with Asterisk to forward calls, so you’d use a raspberry pi instead of a smartphone. But I never implemented it, people gradually stopped calling me and there was just no motivation.

For texts with parcels etc I have an old phone in a drawer which forwards texts to my email. Doesn’t leak anything because it does not move.

Are you aware that using the same device with different SIMs is not helping your anonymity because IMEI is the same?

Power to you for not having GSM enabled on your phone though

Right, the private profile message fooled me. Sorry

Have you clicked that URL?

Oh that is so odd. I’m not from the US but I think cryptocurrencies are somehow associated with right wing there and the left wing hates on them because of this?

It’s so odd seeing people self-describing as oppressed minorities hating on technology that lets you bypass that oppression.

So, as always, politicians are at fault

And you can pay with crypto, not providing any personal information at all

I ended up using khal/ikhal. They’re CLI programs. I haven’t found a GUI one to work this way.

I just shipped n 8TB drive of children’s shows to a friend. First, because many of the shows I wanted to recommend him aren’t on streaming services and second, because he’s moving to the mountains soon, where the internet may or may not be available.

Other than this instance, the last time was likely around 2007.

I got a cheapest Android smart TV and never connected it to the internet. On HDMI1 there is Amazon Firestick for the occasional Netflix use. On HDMI2 there is Kodi for every day watching. Because of how modern TVs work, both these extra boxes can be steered with the TV remote.

It is great as a private communication app for a close group. I’m running my own server because you have to trust your server operator with metadata, and because I found random public servers to be too short-lived for sustained usage by non-tech people.

Alright then, I guess it’s time for attempt #3 with the newly acquired knowledge. Thanks!

Why?

Since when? I made two attempts over many years and an elaborate offlineimap and msmtp setup was needed both times.

Alpine is an email client.

Mutt is a maildir reader which you can use as a part of your DIY email client.

It may have to start being my thing, I moved to a place on ground floor with no sunrise or sunset view. I never thought about it when moving, so now I’ll have to supplement my sunset intake

That is a great use of this tool that I have not thought about!
