When I was young, I spent a lot of time playing Extreme Paintbrawl. I only learned years later that it had achieved notoriety as one of the worst video games of all time. Looking back it’s not hard to see why. But back when it was one of the very few games we had for PC, I got a lot of enjoyment out of it.
Also using Hetzner, can’t complain and the pricing is good.
Oh, great news! New Fairphone looks good, look forward to seeing the specs. I hadn’t heard of the Shiftphone before reading the article so will also look into that.
Would be really interested to hear any real life reviews from users of the Bangle.js 2. It looks great given its features and price point but would be interested to know if there is a catch somewhere.
It’s good that they mention the refurbished option. The most eco-friendly phone is the one you have, the second most eco-friendly phone is one someone else is getting rid of. Of course, the repairability promise of phones like the Fairphone is exciting and might make them a good bet longer-term.
I plan on using my current phone into the ground but I’m not sure what I will do when it finally dies. I think if there is a Fairphone 5 with modern specs by then, I would strongly consider it. I know constant new releases kind of goes against Fairphone’s philosophy so there might not be a 5 for a while, but with the Fairphone 4’s specs I would worry about how long it will remain useful. If there is not an improved Fairphone out by then, I would still consider a Fairphone 4 or would likely buy a refurbished Pixel.

seems to work for me.
I hate Discord full stop, because it’s a centralised proprietary platform just like Reddit and is going to hit the exact same issues one day, and it’s going to be even harder to recover all the conversations that have gone on there.
You mean the password manager as the central authority? You can self host a password manager using, eg, Vaultwarden.
Even if you use a trusted, paid commercial service, I think the risk of that happening is lower than on Reddit. Their business model is simpler and more transparent. They want to keep you as a customer so you will keep paying them. And there is less opportunity for them to ban you for political reasons when you’re not expressing yourself on their platform.
Yes, I agree. My comment was more a response to the parent comment’s suggestion that it is akin to a cup and string in terms of simplicity.
While I mostly agree with this, I would point out that mandatory TLS introduces a decent bit of complexity, both in implementing TLS itself (where you should really use one of the established TLS libraries in your language of choice) and in figuring out what to do with certificates (TOFU, etc).
It’s still a very simple protocol of course, but not quite so simple that you can negotiate a connecting manually over telnet, for example. (Some versions of netcat, on the other hand, do support TLS.)
