Any particular reason for remote access via wg and not via syncthing? I'm also curious how you access it via wg on Android?


I already use WG to access other services running on my LAN. The DB is on a Samba share, and I use KeePassDX as a client on my phone (GrapheneOS).


I used pass for many years and loved it. I sync'd my password store between 3+ devices including my Android phone using a git remote. I don't recall the exact reason - maybe the pass android client I had used for years went away? I decided to find the next best option and settled on keepassxc and KeePassDX. The backing store is a binary blob but it does surprisingly well via syncthing: autoupdate works and in the event of a conflict the db merge feature hasn't yet failed me.

Granted on the desktop I find using a (qt especially) GUI more invasive than a terminal but at least on the Android side the app is quite good.


My first RC was almost the Grasshopper but I ended up with a Nissan King Cab instead. Great memories!


Isn't B2 $6/TB/mo?


I find k2pdfopt cli https://www.willus.com/k2pdfopt/ to be quite comprehensive for various screen reading targets.


Very curious to hear feedback from someone watching it for their first time ~30 years after its release. I watched it incessantly around the time it came out but haven't watched it much since - queued it up for the coming weeks.


Loved it. Five quotes from the many:

“I’d love some pie.” “-I think what you did was… -What? -I think what you did was… -What? -Was so romantic. -Oh, baby, you’re bleeding.”

“Son of a bitch was right. She tastes like a peach.”

“You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You can tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you.”

“You’re so cool. You’re so cool. You’re so cool.”

I have a (regular) Pixel 8 and given that this is smaller and finally has USB-C I'm very tempted to try to jump to Apple again but I'm curious about the following:

1. Is there a terminal equivalent like termux?

2. Is there an open source wireguard client like the official wireguard client for Android?

3. Is it possible to upload mp4 videos to it to watch offline?

4. Is it possible to upload some of my mp3 collection to it to play offline?

5. I believe syncthing isn't officially supported. Are there any alternative syncthing implementations or workarounds?


As someone who recently switched from a Pixel 5 to an iPhone 15 Pro (bought purely for the camera as I'm travelling around Japan at the moment), I hate it. I'm going straight back to Android when I get back to the UK.

I plugged it into my MBP expecting to be able to copy media over, but you can only copy it into the sandboxed filesystem of one app. So choose wisely.

Downloading media using Plex etc sucks. As soon as the phone locks or you move to another app, it stops. On Pixel, I could queue up a load of downloads or SMB transfers, lock my phone on the side and expect them to be complete when I come back.

As for a terminal or using it like a computer, fuhgeddaboutit.

If anything I've said is wrong, please correct me. I want to like this phone, the camera is out of this world.


1. I mean, there's iSH to emulate an x86 linux environment, but it's not like you can get access to the iOS system through a terminal. Since I mainly use the terminal on my phone for SSH, I use Termius.

2. There's the official wireguard client

3. iOS has native mp4 support. You can play mp4s from files stored on the phone, or from gdrive or dropbox, etc. or just import to your photos/videos library.

4. Yes.

5. yes, the Möbius Sync app


1. Not really. There are some good SSH clients that I'd recommend instead.

2. I use the official Wireguard client.

3. Yep.

4. Yep.

5. People grouse about it, but iCloud works brilliantly if you use it with other Apple gear. There are also the usual suspects like Box, Dropbox, GDrive, etc.


for 3 and 4 the native apps support those formats but you may be happier with VLC which is available for iOS as well.


I was taking a break from converting and configuring my home assistant dashboards in yaml instead of UI and stumbled upon this and had a good laugh.

I don't use containers for anything, I'm just using ha core on an Arch install on an odroid h4 that uses less than 10W. The machine itself is also my NAS (if you want to call it that) using a single 4TB m.2 nvme. It also hosts my private git repos too. I think I'm content with this.


especially bringing in boost which isn't allowed in some codebases


boot is not allowed caused by the complexity. So some people disallow boost, here is the solution, just add the complexity directly to the language definition!


I was quite hopeful for this refresh to upgrade my Oasis but it looks as though they've regressed on weight: 188g for my current Oasis vs 211g for the Paperwhite. The new entry level kindle is indeed lighter but unfortunately lacks a warm light. I hope something else will be on the horizon!


warm light (ideally adjustable temperature) and page turn buttons are the killer features for the Oasis. faster page turns and all the rest I can live without.


I hated not having buttons. The squeeze things on the Voyage weren’t good but at least they were something. The buttons on the Oasis are far better than that, though I still have gripes about them.

I can’t imagine replacing my Oasis. I don’t know what it is they have against the buttons. I might’ve bought the color thing today if it had buttons.

I guess I just can’t upgrade until my device dies and then I’ll have to figure something out.


My oasis is configured to make its lighting unusable. There are no buttons controlling the lighting. You have to navigate a menu on the touchscreen. It's possible to turn the lighting off, but if you do that, you'll be unable to turn it on in the dark, which is the only circumstance where you'd want to.
