@sconlan ah crumbs, on android here.

@JessSloan has an iPhone, but I dont' think uses a VPN app.

@sconlan what phone? this isn't the case for me

@fry slick! there's a riff in the middle there that brought me right back to the mid-90s. Reminded me of Green Day - Longview

Big thanks to the mystery mastodon.club donator.

Always always always grateful for help from our community to keep things running.

Was playing with my 2y/o daughter this morning building circuits. She brought to me our "Snap Circuits" game asking to play, and we explored open and closed circuits, motors, and resistors!

I can't believe how absolutely enamoured she is by figuring out how stuff works.

@jonw @mike @codesections agreed on proton suggestion, been using it for a few years now with the paid vpn+mail bundle.

@kev might be able to fab a silencer for it, or add a baffle through the end.

Usually ends up louder than OEM but still quiet enough for day-to-day. At least from my personal experience with aftermarket exhausts ~15 years ago

@ink_slinger if you really like the phone, you could get a few broken ones from eBay and use them as parts phones to keep one of them in ship-shape.

@ink_slinger I need to attempt a repair first, but I may be in the same boat :(

@xvu I believe it was a 10GB root disk that I was using.

Do you know if its possible to run primarily on a server, then proxy from multiple clients vs. storing a full copy locally?

@dthompson but they're the good guys! all these amazing free services! encrypted DNS! 🙄

I couldn't roll my eyes harder if I tried, and I'm already looking at my brain.

No one wants to hear this about cloudflare for some reason, even friends friendly to decentralization are onboard with them.

@codesections but what about your unwritten changes! think of the buffers!

@ink_slinger i wonder, how are they making money?
