Great tool to spec out a computer and give you an idea of how much it’ll cost you.

Neat. But it’s kind of concerning to see yet another OSS project hitch it’s community resourcing to Discord.

The key for me was being told: it’s okay to ride (to hold) the clutch a little before/during/after you’re switching gears.

Are there any updates regarding microphone and Touch ID support in this release?

I removed mine since I moved away from Gitlab. There’s other comments with working docker composes, but here’s the latest working version of mine if you’re interested:

Pretty simple to switch (if you have a little docker experience). Create a folder (e.g. ./postgres), add the folder as a volume in the postgres portion of the compose file (maybe something like /db), then run just the database with newly mounted folder, shell in, and copy everything from the Postgres folder to this new folder. After that, swap mounts so the new folder is used as Postgres db and you’re good. If something went wrong, the pgdata volume is still there to switch back to.

Good share. I saw the nudge in the mobile app, but I didn’t realize there was breaking changes and upgraded in the middle of the night before bed (what the hell was I thinking???). Spent a good extra hour trying to figure out why.

Key take away, the pgvecto.rs version needs to be upgraded. If you are using docker, update the docker-compose.yml. If you’re not, upgrade your pgvector.rs version first. 🙏

Does anyone happen to have an invite they could throw my way? 👀

Love Steam for that. That reminds me… gotta get me a Steam Deck!

Honestly. I suspect in this scenario, the popular use case for enabling Resizable Bar is for gaming. I was hoping to improve my video transcoding experience. 🥸

For sure haha I meant I don’t have soldering skills. I know there’s a hardware BIOS programmer device I could get, but I feel like at that point, I may as well get a new motherboard 👀

Welp. My skills end at #1. So I guess I’m SOL 😂 Thanks for this though! I like knowing that it’s possible, even if it’s outside of my current ability 🙂

I’m running up against the wall of breaking the signature. I guess my motherboard protects itself from unsigned modifications and idiot tinkerers 😂

Whoa. I didn’t know this was a thing! Windows live CD! That’s awesome. Thank you for this! I managed to get MMtools working with wine. But definitely gonna try a few things with this since I’m getting some security verification failures with the modified bios 👀

Managed to get MMtools working with wine. But now I am running up against issues with my motherboard and failing the security verification of the modified bios 😅

Stay tuned… 🤓

I tried it out with my Linux box. There’s a step that requires MMtools that I can’t run with out windows unfortunately 🥲

If only I had access to a windows machine to patch my old ass motherboard 🥹🫡

I’ve pushed up my setup if you’d like to check it out! I use it with ProtonVPN, but can be adapted to be used with others.

Removed by mod

I’m getting at the fact that most platforms do stupid shit like “this message might not be deleted if the receiver already saw it” like WhatsApp does and/or replacing messages with placeholders saying “this message was deleted”. Telegram can be plain-text and can have a lot of issues but it guarantees that stuff is actually removed without trying to bullshit you like other do.

There’s absolutely 0 guarantee that what you’ve “deleted” is deleted. On any platform really. But what you can rely on is the fact that the E2EE is there to make sure things are only readable by whoever the messages were intended for (barring being hacked and compromised keys etc). The message can say whatever it wants, doesn’t mean a lot if you can’t trust the source. Again, we’re just talking about different threat models. With Telegram, it’s not meant for secure and private communication. It has a different audience. And to push Telegram as a private or secure communication, you’re actively doing the public a disservice.

If we assume that your privacy / security is broken (because it is) I might as well use the platform that provides the best desktop and mobile experience with fast syncs, ability to disable animations, have real desktop apps and not electron shit.

If you can’t trust even open source technology that you can review and build yourself. And trust renowned cryptographers reviews of this technology… then why are you in a privacy community telling people their experiences aren’t true to what they’re telling you?
