So who wants to buy my 512gb LCD? 😅
This is third-hand info, but apparently the Optus situation was heaps cooked.
Every one of their devices had been deregistered and needed to essentially “register” with their servers, i.e., a tower.
A similar thing happened with Telstra a while ago that impacted only Vic and Tas, but it took them ages because they had to take a bunch of towers offline and slowly bring them on so that all the devices constantly trying to re-register didn’t brute-force them and take things offline again
Multiply that by a few hundred thousand/million devices and that’s what Optus was dealing with... Oof
ChatGPT gonna make me younger I can feeeel it
Yes, but more relevant now than then, no?
I like having a quick view at new/latest from subs I'm subscribed to. Attached is an example pic of a widget for Mastodon. This way I don't have to open the app and scroll. I can see right on my home screen if there's something I'd like to click. Would love this for Lemmy/Kbin too with Bean.
Interesting, when I signed up I didn't need a phone number, just email. Lmk if you'd like an invite code (if that's even necessary anymore?)
Beeper is just a reskinned Element messenger. The devs behind it are also the ones who built all the bridges everyone uses.
Beeper users who message other Matrix/Beeper users it should be fully e2ee as it'd be no different from using Element or another Matrix client.
But, it would be nice to get more clarification at a high-level as to how they handle the message relaying.
Kagi isn't FOSS or privacy focused
Replace the native ad-riddled platform with another?
