Plus I suspect the cpu cost of transferring the files is far lower than transcoding.

I keep 100’s of gigs in sync across multiple phones and devices, and ST never causes the phones to warm or show significant battery use.

This is what I do. Works great

Because they match standard nav light coloration.

And you need nav lights for takeoff and landing where other craft are coming/going

And they won’t work anymore with the retirement of analog years ago, 2G years ago, and now 3G for consumer use (I’m assuming that phone was analog/2G).

Yet Another Call Blocker -

I block all calls except those I know.

The app has registered for a receiver that’s handled by Google Cloud Messaging/Firebase.

When a message for that app is received by GCM, a broadcast is fired specifically for that app and wakes it up.

Oh, boy, to have my Moto Droid with new hardware inside.

(Just an FYI, I’m guessing autoincorrect got you).

Great notes too, good point about the device name vs device ID.

Immich is part of FUTO now? Great, congrats!

I look forward to implementing it on my new home box.

After Signal’s lie about dropping SMS support because of “engineering costs”, I really can’t believe anything else they say.

Plus the app experience sucks, it’s no better than SMS.

Except companies are already jumping ship to other solutions. One very large company is moving thousands of VMs to an implementation of KVM, virtually eliminating the insane VM licensing.

Broadcom has all but admitted their own solution is inferior, by converting their workstation virtualization to KVM!

To Broadcom’s credit, the writing was on the wall that versions of KVM would be eating their market over the next 10 years (for example, Proxmox), so they’re getting all they can now before their corner on the market weakens.

Check the self-hosted communities, this is a regular discussion there. I use OneNote and would like to get away from it, but every solution is a mixed bag.

A couple options off the top of my head:

Silver Bullet A note-taking app that supports linking. You’d need to host it on a VPS (that’s the simplest approach for your use case, I’d think, with any shared app).

OneNote As students, you probably get Office 365 for a major discount, and honestly OneNote is hard to beat. It syncs to each machine, so everyone has a full copy of a given notebook at any time. Sync is robust, and very slick, with things like showing Author, updates, etc. I do recommend the full OneNote desktop app and not the Windows App nonsense, because the desktop app doesn’t require OneDrive to sync between computers, (though it can use a OneDrive location). To share a notebook on a LAN, you just share the folder it’s in and other machines will sync through the share (I’d create a user just for the notebook/share).

One benefit of a notebook being on OneDrive is the ability to sync to mobile devices (Android and iOS have OneNote apps), and sync doesn’t depend on other devices being online.

To make things easier, you could setup two accounts on OneDrive: a primary account that you manage with the initial notebook(s), and a “user” account that you share your notebook with and then give everyone the credentials for. This will make it easier for others to use, since they won’t have to setup a OneDrive account. You’ll only need to provide a 2FA key for them on initial login - the app will retain the credentials.

I have a love/hate relationship with OneNote. I’ve used it for 15 years now, I’d find it hard to supplant, but I really dislike being tied to a proprietary format, and especially requiring OneDrive for mobile device sync.

“The mystery in New Jersey”

There’s no mystery, the FAA issued an air restriction for the Picatinny area from Nov 21 to Dec 26, for “special security reasons” - aka some dark development group doing testing.

Why else would these things have nav lights?

Samsung Galaxy S4.

“distrohoped”?

As in you hoped this next distro would be the one that worked well?

Sounds like S.O.P

“Excuse me”?

“Pardon”?

Blank look. Shrug, turn around, go back to reading.

Which “white people” are you talking about?

Irish? Scottish? Italians? How about Sicilian? Are Roma white to you? Greek?

See, that’s the problem with pre-judging someone just on immutable characteristics that you believe mean a certain thing.

Throughout time groups of people have been biased against other groups, for all sorts of reasons, largely just “out group”.

Assuming that only goes one way, and assuming based on skin color alone (again, exactly which color, is there a Pantone code for “white people”?) that everyone in that assumed group have the same experience is just nonsense. Or bias, prejudice, bigotry. Pick whichever you like.

The difference?

Its right there in the names

Schedule such walks in your calendar.

If you know it’s going to be nice tomorrow, schedule a meeting in your calendar for the time you should walk. Then, since it’s your work calendar, it’s just part of managing your day, you’ll feel more committed to it when you get the notification.

My personal accidental variation on pomodoro - all those meetings I have to attend generate work, and interfere with my schedule. I always schedule time in my calendar for dealing with stuff from meetings.

So if I have a 1 hr meeting at 10a, I’ll add 30 minutes to it in my calendar (generally I only need 10 or 15 min). I’ll also schedule time in my calendar for work that needs doing, mostly to block time so meetings won’t eat up my day.

Sometimes those blocks are for specific tasks (e.g. Something that came out of a meeting) or just a general block so I can do some work between meetings.

No one needs to know why a specific time isn’t available in my calendar (no one has ever asked, and if they did, I’d say “I don’t know, I’d have to look” or tell the truth that it’s to work on something specific). Who could argue with that?
