next time you’re at bat against one of these, you may try moving less diligently / efficiently to the checkbox. overall, a slowed and less exact approach. I’ve not tested this enough to REALLY say it makes a difference, but in cases where I continually fail, going slower does seem to be the time I finally get through.

I find the same for the picture puzzles where you select images that match or apply to the posted context or whatever else the mission may be.

got it! I don’t have that many hosted services, but for my limited external clients that need to connect, I get by with what tailscale has to offer at least for now!

thanks for the breakdown!

let me update my notes… one second

as a general noob to self-hosting, I’m curious about this!

do you run your stuff through a cloudflare tunnel, or have any authentication service that lives outside of your network? something has got to be causing your connections to go out and then back for a cloudflare outage to impact on your own LAN, right?

I am US-based. I have a handful of credit card apps, and a few banking / investment apps - all of them in my experience have worked fine. ONE of them required me to toggle a GrapheneOS option that enables you to exempt certain apps from some of Graphenes more hardened safety measures.

“Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode” is the toggle which can be flipped per-app, and is very easy to access so you can quickly troubleshoot whether that’s related to any app troubles or not.

Similar to the other comment, I also use Pixel Camera by downloading the Google pixel cam APK and installing. I’ve removed all permissions from the camera (and photos) app besides to the camera lense itself, and file permissions of course. You can even use Pixel Cam’s hefty features like unblur, erase me, etc. - though certain ones require you to temporarily give network access to the camera app so that it can reach out and download necessary packages. Once done, you can remove network permissions and the downloaded function will remain functional.

it be available on the seas as well, if you’re sailing

can anybody… disprove this?

I know he didn’t do it. we were deep in a duos ping pong tourney at the time that incident occurred.

I binged from ep 1 to current over the last two days. episodes 4 and 5 really pulled me in, but I was already enjoying the acting and story enough to rate it positively.

if you don’t mind my asking, what’s the plothole that you’re annoyed by?

I’ve been using this app with one other person for shared tracking. we’ve been satisfied with the (lack of) battery drain, which was my main concern about the app (not for anything specifically about Paralino). so far, no issues or qualms. will be nice when it no longer relies on Google Services on Android.

I only have location services enabled under certain conditions when away from the house, but it seems to handle the off / on of this service just fine without having to restart the app or anything. unsurprisingly, it also let’s me view the other’s location even if my own location is disabled at the moment. we have ours sharing location, battery percentage, and network type from each device.

paid features let you add more connections to share locations with, create additional groups, and other small QoL things like being able to attempt a forced refresh of the other person’s location, etc.

I am about halfway through Haunted Hotel. I enjoy Will Forte’s bit of flair to things, even in voice acting. It’s been fun enough as an animated zone-out-but-still-chuckle sort of show, in my opinion!

Keeping along with S2 of Peacemaker after having just binged S1. I’m liking it a lot, and am not necessarily a fan of the superhero universes and their things. Yet I still enjoy the cast and storyline of this!

all fair! in my opinion, principles or underlying concepts that make lemmy desirable to a large set of its users are shared with something like “piracy” as a whole. though, arguably there are different offenses of pirating things. for example, things like books and other knowledge resources can be justified easier in some ways than something like that a “today’s hot comedy” series. all to say, that’d be my thoughts on why digital shared ownership is likely a commonly accepted thing here.

sort of apart from the original “boycott” point, there’s also this layer of Big <Whatever> involved in how much of our available content is stored / accessed / mediated. on the seas, you’re resulting moreso in boycotting that Big <Whatever> layer that likely has their stinky mits too far and too deep for what they can really deserve credit for anyway. other methods could be used to support the direct producer of content, if intended, while continuing to boycott the Big <Whatever> that enforces and forces itself between due to convenience, research, pull, etc.

you’re not alone in this angle or feeling this way, for sure. as it should be! we’re also splitting it at a fairly high-above-ground generalized view, and could both very well be imagining example cases supporting our mindset that happen to live far apart on the spectrum of what this can be pertaining to. there’s room to be against it, in favor of it, or anywhere in between based on contexts. I don’t know why I’m rambling. thanks for responding with more input! lol :)

however, when it comes to sailing seas, you share product without it taking any from your own pool in a way that causes it to ever leave your pool. so, then one consumption can split into two consumptions, both able to continue existing and being consumed, while further multiplying more. the first consumer could be the last direct consumer from the boycotted producer, while future consumers can still benefit from or otherwise put to use the product provided something back to us.

in my opinion, this concept of eternal growth and multiplying without being forced by laws of reality for the original sources to ever diminish, makes this different than other scenarios like keeping a second-hand market interest in something while boycotting the main source / producer.

nice try! you can’t prove that I know anything!

I absolutely agree. it was a sort of slap in the face, personally. I’ve been aware of the increasingly awful subscription model take-over of course, but seeing it presented that way and realizing how not-so-far-off that reality may be, finally put some fire behind it for me.

Black Mirror’s Common People episode would like a word

I’ve somewhat recently become familiar with the term “autistic burnout” myself. Can you share some more with regards to your statement - “only treating the cause will work.”

I’m sure that the cause may be different from person to person, but do you have any insights towards determining what that cause is? I am, and have been, in what feels like an eternal loop of feeling or being labeled as anxious, depressed, various ADHD symptoms, etc. and struggle more and more to determine what’s real, what’s a clouded effect of something different, and so on.

all to say, I’m stuck somewhere in this knotted ball of yarn and dont even know which thread is the real end to start pulling on, knotting it up even worse.

would something like rethinkDNS or some other firewall and / or DNS blocking tool be sufficient to cutting out all of this and still benefitting from the app locally?

yes

are you me? is this my alt account and we’ve got a carbon monoxide situation going on?
