not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

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

  • Yeah me too, photos and videos I’ve recorded are the only things I’m bothered about. Backing up off-site all my arrrrr booty is redundant since I’ve shared it to a 2.1 ratio already and hopefully can download it again from people with larger storage than my family member has.

    It’s how I handle backing up those photos / videos thou. I bought them a 512GB card and shoved that in a GLi AP they have down there which I sync my DCIM folder to (app was removed from Play Store since it didn’t need updating but Googles stupid policies meant it went RIP…), and I also backup that to the old Synology NAS I handed down to them. I suppose I could use Syncthing but I like that old app since the adage if it’s not broke don’t fix it applies.

    Along with them having Tailscale on a Pi4 (on a UPS and is their/my backup TVHeadend server) and their little N100 media box I don’t even bother them with my meager photo collection and works good.





  • You want it to auto record every phone call?

    Yes. That’s how my phone is currently set up. My ex-wife is a psychopath, so everything gets recorded and backed up.

    I’ve got to ask you something here and it’ll probably sound weird, but here in the UK if you did that you’d probably be in for a hard time, legally standing recording others without informing them.

    But I’m more curious how often you listen back to these phone calls since you say you record each one, and do you keep lots of them/off-site etc?

    The project supports more than 135 highly skilled jobs across the UK

    Is that 135 individual positions, or just some mumbo jumbo job titles they’re making up?

    The UK police can’t determine what is a legal 249gm drone or not as seen many times over with the auditors, so how on earth is this thing gonna work is beyond me?

    Just trash the airwaves I guess.




  • 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 I to like I say turn it off/on like most thingys I own 🙈

    I think it’s actually my instance not loading “SD” images (sometimes not initially, sometimes, straight away?) and it’s not until I click the “HD” button does it actually load images like the above?

    My instance thou is mainly run by a couple of guy who are a little busy IRL and it might be playing a part in what happened above since Nicole generally gets through most of the time.

    Bad, Nicole 🫢

    I hear ya.

    But like I say the Fediverse is a bit different to reddit and means someone from a freshly made/hosted instance can straight up send you “bad things” in a comment thread nevermind a DM unless the Instance admins have de-federated from a spam(my)/unmoderated instance.

    I’ve been putting off the invite to help the admins of my Instance since I’m a complete idiot at the best of times, but I do think we need more people flagging / tagging / sharing / mass banning them.

    Good luck and have fun with the risky clicks ;)
