I've been using CalyxOS on a Pixel 4a 5G for like 4 months now and love it. Came from another stock Android phone though, not iOS. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask!

I have the same dream. We just need the connectivity: internet/communications (like via Starlink), and transportation (safe VTOL aircraft for everyone.) Without those things the decentralization of civilization will not be possible.

Just what we need--start spreading our legal monstrosities across the universe!

Jokes aside, this is one thing I don't understand about Elon's viewpoints. He's afraid Earth's insanity will destroy itself, which is why we must spread to other planets. He forgets that as soon as he relocates people to Mars, that same insanity will be relocated with them.

A friend in London says it's because they're going into lockdown Thursday, so terrorists will use the last day everyone will be out and about.

> [Free speech is] a fundamentally optimistic vision: Good ideas win.

I disagree with this statement. Free speech has no say on who "wins". Free speech is based on the principle that everyone has a right to be vocal about what they believe, even if you disagree with it. The alternative is giving up the power to others to decide who can speak and for what reason, whether you agree with it or not.

Many people don't want to hear this, but if hypothetically the majority of a population believes in and talks nonsense, then that's what the population wants and that population should live with those consequences. What we have here is not a political problem, but a human problem, and involving politics as a bandaid has shown time and time again that those doing the censoring don't do it for the "common good". Corruption and self-interest is attractive to people in those positions, again, because they are humans and what we have is a human problem, not a political problem.

The difference between the former and latter manifestation of human problems is that in one a small group of imperfect humans make the rules for the rest, whereas in the other no one decides who can say what and people get the consequences they bequeath upon themselves.

Is that not what mods like MicroG provide?

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I found a good article about it: https://jpetazzo.github.io/2015/09/03/do-not-use-docker-in-d...

At the end he describes mounting the socket. The tooling image which has all the dependencies needed to build will also have the docker cli installed, which is what I'm assuming you are doing.

I might just use this. Cheers!

Hm you're right. I wonder if there's a way to cache a tag's metadata for a while...

I recently watched an excellent speech concerning freedom of speech and freedom of protest by Rowan Atkinson, and feel it's very appropriate to share here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiqDZlAZygU

Will mounting the socket, as the person I replied to suggested, make it use the host's docker daemon?

I'm thinking the same thing. GitLab has shared CI runners that probably do a lot of image pulling. Hopefully they have plans to implement their own docker registry cache.

I was wondering how Docker-in-Docker works, but I couldn't find it dockermented anywhere. If it's using the host's Docker daemon, why do you need to mount the docker socket?

Super easy to run a docker cache proxy:

    docker run -d -p 6000:5000 \
    -e REGISTRY_PROXY_REMOTEURL=https://registry-1.docker.io \
    --restart always \
    --name registry registry:2

That's it. Now fetch docker images from the IP that command is running on. Taken from gitlab: https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/registry_and_cache_se...

I'm very happy with the VNote UI, which uses Qt. It's an open source markdown note-taking app. Check out the dark themes.

Runbox

> I haven't even needed to sign up for a Google account since using it (although I have to use an alternative app store).

This means you can't use any Google apps like Maps, Photos, etc, right? What Google alternatives do you use?

> The future look bleak until we get a true open source alternative running on open hardware.

Maybe a fork like LineageOS will take over eventually. An open hardware device is really needed though.

I know it won't happen but I wish that all major companies on the Apple store would collaborate and all at once either release in-house in-app purchases or link to their websites to instruct users to buy stuff. Apple can't remove every app from the app-store as the ensuing shitstorm would have people ditching Apple in waves.

But not working on your passion will lead to depression. I think it's about finding fulfillment in the process, in working on your passion. Technological progress comes from that.

Sounds like you simply went too hard on yourself. It's easy to do.

This. The purpose of science is to discover the truth, not make the truth. You don't science to confirm everything before you try it. With things like breathing where you know it's not going to cause harm, just try it for yourself.

For the last half a year or so I've been using VNote: https://github.com/tamlok/vnote

I was really surprised when I discovered it, as I've been looking for the "perfect" note-taking system for a while and VNote was never mentioned. It checks all my boxes: in-place preview of markdown, is open source, automatically copies images to your notes directory, has ability to add file attachments, is customizable with different themes, is programmer-friendly (has VIM-mode), and it's native (no Electron!) And it looks great with the dark theme. It doesn't lock you in to its software as in the end, it's just markdown files and media files.

It doesn't have Zettelkasten support, but it does do tagging and its search capabilities are comprehensive (includes regex search.)

I am not affiliated with the project -- just a happy user :)

This demonstrates the issue with an internet designed for centralized services. Zoom is in the position of A) bending to china and not losing their business, or B) ignoring China's request and lose all of China's business.

With a properly-designed decentralized internet, this decision wouldn't even exist. Data and services wouldn't be centralized to a company's servers, and there wouldn't be a way to take down anyone's service. I really wish projects like MaidSafe and other similar ones would take off, but it's a difficult problem to tackle.

I personally like seeing everybody else on the call and talking face to face. As a manager I get a feel for how the others are doing. I feel chats-only will get rid of that aspect and make things more impersonal. Do you not have face to face calls at all?

Would be cool to have an open protocol where anyone can make an app to hook people up P2P.

> who handles crimes like assault or theft between the various parties?

If it's P2P, then the same as any other P2P transaction. If I pay a random dude to deliver my lunch, and he assaults me, this is handled by the local police. It's a risk I'm willing to take if I choose to trust him. A distributed trust system w/ reviews will help make things safer.

I feel like sometimes we seek 100% safety in a world where that's not possible, and when it DOES happen we point fingers. With a middleman like Uber we can point fingers more easily, but ultimately we're responsible for ourselves.

> who sets up payments and issues refunds?

There are public escrow services such as escrow.com that could be integrated. And there's always cryptocurrency.

> For example, you can easily output a HTML table from server-side code, then Vue can convert that into a interactive component while using the existing structure and data.

If you're using vue, you inherently use state or props, and those are handled using {{ myState }} syntax. If you load everything from the backend, it's going to have the actual data in the table. How would you convert the already-rendered HTML to something interactive if the template isn't set up that way?

China has the technology to shoot down satellites. If SpaceX tries to circumvent China's laws they'll just take out their constellation, so SpaceX has no leverage there.

Smaller, third-world countries, maybe there are more chances there. Citizens would likely need to import and manufacture their own antennas illegally that connect to the constellation.

The proposal states that this applies to every UAV over half a pound, except amateur built drones (which must be flown within line of sight.)

Agreed. Just pointing out the fact that IMAP alone isn't enough. Nothing replaces backups (whether from your IMAP client or from Google's own backup service.)

> Google can terminate an account any time without any reason, if they do that, I won’t lose access the e-mails I’ve received or sent.

A) Assuming you keep copies of all folders/emails locally B) Assuming Google isn't evil and won't delete all your mail first before shutting down your account, thus causing your IMAP client to sync their deletion
