Surprisingly good, this one. One container, and it’s away! The apps lets you download the audiobooks for offline use (also to existing folders on Android, in-case you have a preferred audiobook app). This means that you can run the server on-demand (eg. when your laptop is on). Thumbs up.

For some almost-certainly-anti-competitive-reason-that-should-be-investigated-by-the-EU-and-other-watchdogs, Amazon refused to let it onto the Amazon appstore, making it a no-go on Amazon Kid’s tablets/profiles.

And don’t forget a wearable faraday cage ($39.99 @ amazon.com)!

It would be naive to think this isn’t already in widespread use.

Mmm, crisprschweinshaxn!

Those were the days.

Challenge accepted.

It would be interesting to see an FPS game with a “default cheat mode” that exposes all info about other players that it has by default. And then the devs work to minimize that… server-side occlusion, misdirection, reduced damage / bad aim when no direct line of sight, etc. Players can then learn to minimise their footprint despite the necessary leakage and how to take advantage of the info they get.

wg-quick takes a different approach, using an ip rule to send all traffic (except its own) to a different routing table with only the wireguard interface. I topped it up with iptables rules to block everything except DNS and the wireguard udp port on the main interface. I also disabled ipv6 on the main interface, to avoid any non-RFC1918 addresses appearing in the (in my case) container at all.

edit: you can also do ip rule matching based on uid, such that you could force all non-root users to use your custom route table.

My pranks were less destructive … /ctcp nick +++ath0+++ … it was amazing how often that worked. 🤣

Did you find a solution?

Congrats for waiting this long - many parents don’t.

Honestly, this will depend on your child. If they are prone to addictive or obsessive behaviour, a smart phone will only amplify the tendancy. We already know how hard it is for adults to put down their phones for any length of time, and kids typically have less will power.

That said - digital communication is an important part of most people’s lives now. If all her friends are using a particular app to communicate, they will “need” it too. Some parental controls would be good for the first phone – which apps get installed, etc. Just be prepared to unlock most of them. ;-)

You might want a phone “lockbox” at home to ensure they turn off. Hopefully the school is strict about phone usage and etiquette too - it can help.

What is the typing experience that you want, and for which language(s). It’s not clear to me, sorry.

It is possible to map keyboard input in various ways. For more complex use-cases, many programs support character substitution as you type (eg. gx could become ĝ automatically).

AWS has JVs in China (one for each region, iirc), and China-AWS is a separate partition, with incompatible auth and no cross-partition communication.

Microsoft has separate legal entities running their Azure cloud in certain regions, walking the legal tightrope despite the central portal & auth (edit: it is likely 100% independent in China too)

Most risks (both digital security and political leverage) could be mitigated with sufficient legal requirements. Technical solutions can be developed to fill the gaps.

The EU and its members should continue to support local initiatives, as well as 100% EU-national high-security clouds, staffed by EU/non-US citizens.

Why would trust in Firefox be gone? I guess a smear campaign is underway.

It’s better than it ever was, imho.

I do take extra precautions, and use a separate instance for online banking and trading.

I also have it sandboxed at the OS level, giving extra confidence and ensuring limited access to my home directory. I do the same with many apps (including chrome, when I must use it)

There have been a few cases, of course. There have also been investigations and prosecutions. But it is NOTHING LIKE russia’s forced conscription in LPR / DPR.

The anti-Ukraine propaganda effort is very real, and organized. You can see the propaganda-boys/bots in the comments here - just look at the frequency and content of their posts and comments.

It feels more like a dance game to me. Boring and awkward choreographed moves in response to predictable monster moves. Once you’ve learned the moves, then you can pay and play!
