You're not gonna have much luck. If you're able to clone these kind of cards, its an honest security vulnerability and should be reported.

As an alternative, I've seen people suggest using a smartwatch, like the Garmin ones, that have a "wallet".

Note its not just climate thats causing the water shortage. The article even mentions that a bunch of that water is being used for livestock feed like alfalfa. It takes ~620 gallons of water to make a 150g hamburger and ~859 gallons for a gallon of milk (1). And 56 percent of the water of the colorado river is used for growing livestock feed (2).

Climate change is important to have in the conversation about our rivers drying up, but we can't forget about the elephant (or cow) in the room.

I don't play too many games, especially new games, but some old classics I've seen on GOG are:

• Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Literally the best 4X game ever invented. Its so much fun and still looks surprisingly good for its age.

• Diablo. I haven't bought it on GOG yet but I've played it a little bit and it definitely holds up. I love Diablo 2 and D1 is a great precessor to it.

This last one isn't on GOG, but it is on itch.io:

• Dwarf Fortress Remastered (not sure if that's the right title). Especially if you like Rimworld, it might be worth picking up the game that started it all. I just got the new version the other day and the added graphics and controls really help to smooth out the learning cliff. I can't even begin to say how many hours of stories I got out of the OG. I highly recommend picking it up.

Idk, that seems like a difficult technical and political challenge, so I don't think that's very likely.

However, what I think is much more likely to happen is cameras detecting copyrighted content and not recording it. Or automatic instant takedowns of copyrighted content when the video is shared. Then, all the government would need to do is play copyrighted music when they don't want you to record.

Oh wait, this is already happening [1] albeit not commonly or to an extreme extent. But really, this is why we need to be very careful about technological enforcement of laws. It can lead to unintended (or intended) negative consequences to civil liberties. And its also why its critical for your devices to always be acting on your behalf, and not for the government or corporations.

If he's anything like me, he'd spend most of that time psyching himself up to actually talk on the phone

I love my current pixel 5. Ive had it for several years now, and the size is really nice. My battery is starting to show wear and the charge port doesn't connect very well, although I probably just need to give it a good cleaning.

Unfortunately, Google will only push security updates until this October. Third-party OSes like Calyx or Graphine will keep the open source components patched as long as they can, but they can't fix any bugs in the proprietary pieces.

Although its definitely more expensive, I keep thinking about grabbing a refurbished pixel 7 or 6, since google promises 5 years of security updates.

CalyxOS on a Pixel 5. Its nice and micro G works fine in most situations. When I have the time though, I'm probably going to try graphine os with sandboxed google play and see how that works for me.

Hosting a VPN is going to be the easiest and most secure option. There are a lot of little things that might make exposing Jellyfin tricky and could risk exposing traffic.

I would suggest starting out with a simple Wireguard VPN, which has worked for me for a while, but eventually you might consider looking at Tailscale, which simplifies a lot of it. (You can completely self host it using the Headscale server). OpenVPN has more options and its a little easier to add more devices, but it's not as fast.

Just started listening. Boy, I wish I knew about it in March when I was starting my garden!

Thanks for creating it! I'm glad to be here (:

Fellow KISS launcher user here. That's an awesome idea!

What kind of thin clients? I wonder if it would be worthwhile to compile a list that people could use to find used computers for their projects.
