I feel like this is a case for framework support. They were better than your generic IT team when I interacted with them. Maybe they have a better idea of what is going wrong.

From experience, older thinkpads usually sell for cheap, come with an inbuilt monitor, and are built sturdy. Highly recommend.

For all of our safety, consider submitting a bugreport.

I found this list on their site. I didn’t verify if the ips match though.

Another way to solve this problem might be to block your MAC address at a router level (then unblock while booting).

I use proton.

If archiving means downloading locally without encryption (or non-proton encryption), then I use proton bridge and mu4e.

The site seems to be down

So, for everyone that doesn’t know, in mozilla’s own words:

About *Privacy Not Included: *Privacy Not Included is a buyers guide focused on privacy rather than price or performance. Launched in 2017, the guide has reviewed hundreds of products and apps. It arms shoppers with the information they need to protect the privacy of their friends and family, while also spurring the tech industry to do more to safeguard consumers.

(Btw I love rss readers that cache stuff)

I think joplin fits the requirements. You can run your own server (or use theirs) to sync between devices.

I also think simplenote meets the requirements.

The world would be a better place if companies deleted your information as soon as you delete your account.

File storage (as opposed to something like email) doesn’t seem to have a massive infrastructure that I have to participate in. I don’t have to trust a third party with my data.

I’d probably just encrypt my data before going into any of the clouds, which should keep it secure (with something like rclone).

To send data to someone, I’d probably use onionshare or something.

I think there a bunch of mispronunciations. OP seems to be referring to the “new” mispronounciation, while I was referring to the spelling out mispronunciation.

I think you’re right. I think some people say G-N-U.

I would keep it simple and use the zoom web client and restrict as much as possible.

However, if you must have an app, they support linux. Then you can sandbox it as you would other apps on your machine.

Going into another partition might be a bit safer, but I’m not sure the privacy vs convinience tradeoff works.

Printing always messes with me a bit. The fact that they are network connected and have so many security vulnerabilites makes me wonder what I don’t know.

edit: grammar

I see. On the surface, that seems to make sense. I might need to rethink how I configure my batteries.

First off, I think you’re completely right in that laptop batteries are definitely a non-ideal solution. And, I’m really not an expert in this, so take my words with a grain of salt.

You could mitigate a bit of the dangers by doing some of the following (I only did the first):

• Reducing the max charge level to 50% of the capacity.
• Monitor your batteries health to alert for any discrepancies.
• Switch out your batteries every couple of years (which is super easy without downtime on the aformentioned old thinkpads).

If you are an under $100 budget, there seems to be an argument that maybe you are willing to risk a little bit for that extra power reliability.

To give a different opinion than all the thin-clients, old laptops can be a good choice too. I am a bit preferrential to really nice old thinkpads.

If you buy them used you can get insane prices (~$40) and also you get all the laptop conveniences of a keyboard, screen, battery (for power failure). Also I think the power/performance ratio is pretty much the same to the thin clients.

I found OsmAnd~ to not only be good on foot, but also on bike. It sometimes plans more aggressive routes than google which saves time (side streets for less distance, opposite directions on one ways…). Take this with a grain of salt though, because I ride primarily in NYC.
