Are you asking whether you should use grapheneos, your fitbit or a second phone for banking?

Oh that’s smart. Would it essentially be just a miracast dongle thing?

oh my bad i was referring to the storage capacity difference between ssds and m-disc. I’ll edit it in

Think he meant a blu-ray drive that could burn to a m-disc.

Might be a dumb idea but hear me out. How about sealing a reputable enterprise or consumer SSD in one of those anti static bags with a desiccant and then sealing that inside a pvc pipe also with desiccant and then burying it below the frost line? You’ll just have to dig it up and refresh everything every couple of years, think 3 years at most iirc for consumer ones. Obviously this isn’t a replacement for a backup solution just archival so no interaction with it. It’ll protect it from the elements, house fires, flooding, temperature fluctuations pretty much everything and its cost effective. Hell you can even surround the hard drive bag in foam then stuff in the pvc pipe for added shock absorption. Make a map afterwards like a damn pirate (its night time so my bad if I sound deranged)

The only one i can think of is people not saving their old toothbrushes. A small brush comes in real handy for a lot of situations

Thats a great story it’s amazing how sometimes things just resurface and click after years. I’m genuinely happy that I’m not the only one that fiddles around with paracord. I get a lot of looks from family because of it, haha. Think it was either the sheet bend or square knot that got me into this.

Rope or really any cordage. Can’t begin to tell you how handy learning 7-10ish knots has come, plus lashings

Same person made me appreciate my can opener

Mull on mobile, mullvad and Firefox on desktop

Kinda don’t think you can its one of the beauties of Linux, there’s so many different flavors of it. Best thing that would’ve helped me as a beginner would’ve been like a collection of all the wiki’s and basic knowledge in a single space instead of searching through different sites for a problem or terminal commands, which I bet exists but I just never looked too hard. Also documentation of common problems would’ve been big for me (especially for older devices) like drivers no longer being supported by kernels and solutions like using the open source version instead.

Yup Veracrypt is great even has a portable version that can be kept on the drive (might still need admin privileges though) so you won’t have to install it on the system iirc . Would also go with cryptomator if you plan on using it with mobile systems but it has a one time payment for mobile.

Dang I’m interested too. I opted to just stick on a highly reflective sticker which works for me but interested to see what others have in mind

Ever thought about switching out the bic for like a clipper or something so you can refill it or is it too big? Like the carry though looks great!

Plus isn’t your phone’s encryption at its strongest state after its been rebooted, before it’s been unlocked? Guess it’ll be useless unless OP has an outdated security patch, a weak passcode or if it was snatched while unlocked

Joe dirt and Mr. deeds

Not really related to the post but how was the process of getting them off the internet? The cheapest price I can get would run me around 200USD for the whole deal: eye exam, new lenses and the specific frames I want. Hell if I can save money though I’m willing to try online

I usually just export my bookmarks as a HTML file and use that on desktop. On mobile I just make a ods spreadsheet after copying all of my bookmarks manually (select all, share, copy to clipboard etc…)

I do something similar but instead if a VM I just have windows installed on a separate hard drive and just boot up from there when I need it (I don’t play games though)

That’s some solid advice
