user224 , to linux in What are the main challenges in Linux adoption for New users, and how can it be addressed?

In middle school I had a USB drive with Linux Mint installed on it which I was using on school PCs. We only used those PCs for internet browsing and office. Not a single soul noticed it wasn’t Windows. Teacher only noticed 2 differences, “You have different version of Office installed here.” and also gave me a note for “Changing wallpaper” which was strictly prohibited for some reason.

No. I mean, I am, but not everyone.

I am kinda paranoid about password managers. My passwords are stored somewhere on the computer, all of them, and I don’t like that idea. I can exercise my brain.

You’re telling me I didn’t need to use my brain?

Nooo! The fireeee! This would be better with a physical keyboard.

My final password was: Pass5@JulyXXXV+Shell+n2by7+droop+🌚+Peru+2020+Qd7+🥚+Zn+BBBBB

The hardest 2 were chess and guessing the country. Maybe atomic numbers with combination with roman numerals, but that’s sorta fine.

That doesn’t seem to work for me. I get DNS resolution error there. I tried DNS lookup on nslookup.io but 23.137.248.133/EO1O4 (Edit: revalidated, currently shows 1.1.1.7 but results in Error 1003 “Direct IP access not allowed”) only gets me to “hello world” after completing Captcha…

I only ever tried Chrome on school computers but it was useless, always kept crashing.

I even seen messages there that I hadn’t received in Reddit. There was someone selling weed.

user224 , (edited ) to android in What are your power user/advanced use cases for your phone?

Using a software defined radio (SDR). However you would need additional hardware. The most popular one, RTL-SDR works well with Android apps. There’s a lot you can do with SDRs. With my phone I mostly use it for receiving satellite imagery from the NOAA-15, 18 and 19 which transmit APT around 137MHz making it easy to receive with a simple V-Dipole antenna. Recently Meteor M N2-3 has launched which also transmits LRPT, which is digital at 4 times the resolution. Unfortunately, its LRPT antenna has not deployed properly so the signal is very poor. Ideally I’d use a Yagi-Uda antenna for that. For decoding LRPT, I use SatDump, for APT I record it as audio in SDR++, then use noaa-apt in Termux, but SatDump can decode it too.

I also use it for receiving DAB+ radio with welle.io. A separate DAB+ receiver would cost me just as much as the RTL-SDRv3 + Dipole kit.

ADS-B is also fun to look at.

Anyway, there’s a lot to do with it ranging from just listening to FM radio, up to (illegally) decrypting GSM phone calls and SMS texts. Crazy Danish Hacker has a series on the latter: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRovDyowOn5F_TFotx0n8A… but that you can’t do on a phone anymore.

Edit: I forgot to mention Android Proxy Server which is useful on school network to go through my data.

That reminds me of something. I don’t remember precisely why, nor what line it resonates with in my brain, but it reminds me of this guy from The Core (movie):
