Those hinges must have been mighty strong. Or was there something to prop up the 6 screens?

To be completely honest, I installed Jellyfin "bare-metal" and have been using it that way since after attempting to skim the Docker documentation and failing to understand how Docker works.

If only I had the courage to tell my roommate

Wondering the same. I've been hoping to hold off on a new Pixel until the new EU battery laws take effect (also, where the hell is concept art for a new generation of user-serviceable batteries?).

You know those factories that pump out iPhone clones? Honestly, I'd love to get whoever runs one of those hooked on GrapheneOS. It's damn impressive how they can set up the tooling, clone the iOS UI, and sell it all for cheap within a couple of months. And without the kickback Google gives for pre-installing Google Play or whatever. Imagine that effort being put towards a phone just for GrapheneOS.

Admittedly, someone who makes iPhone clones is probably not someone who thinks about security much, but my point is, I really wish someone stepped up to produce phones with first-class support for GrapheneOS.

More realistically, I'm banking on the passion of the folks at GrapheneOS. Should Google pull the plug one day, I'm hopeful the GOS team can recommend a plan of action until a more GOS-friendly device shows up. Worst case scenario, I'll keep my Pixel with GOS kicking around and have a separate device with regular Android. It'll be just for the apps that demand spying, shut off at night, and I'll minimize travelling with it.

Indeed. I have everything encrypted, but it's still a waste of P/E cycles, especially when combining large quantities of RAM with QLC flash SSDs.

No, just eyeballing it, the decorations just need to look good

Low-profile noise-cancelling earbuds. Lived with a snoring roommate for some months, don't know how I would've slept without those.

genuinely curious, do most people fold shirts so the front ends up inside? I pretty much just copied the way they fold them at stores so the front is on display

Meh. I'd try it but I don't think I would especially enjoy it over any other burger. But I won't judge anyone who likes it.

Indoor lighting with sunglasses on is too dim for my tastes. Alternatively, my shades might be too dark. I'll put them in my bag or on the brim of my hat, if one or the other are available.

S3 sleep powers down all major components except for RAM. Modern sleep also keeps the CPU and network up, albeit in a low power state. It's not always executed well, hence the reports of laptops cooking themselves in a bag or draining overnight despite being "in sleep mode".

I'll deactivate it at the end of the day. Just feels right.

Thanks for recommending Insular though, I'll check it out. How in particular has Shelter gotten worse in the past few years?
