To explain first, I would like to say that I'm not asking about temps, local flavor, ease of transfer or the like.

My wife and I are stuck in the US while caring for her father. When the inevitable happens, however, we would like to be prepared to head out ASAP. We've done a lot of searching but I thought I'd ask here in case someone's done some legwork for the same goals as us. I traveled a bunch as a kid in the military but that was a very long time ago and I wouldn't trust my notions of the countries in question to have remained the same.

Basically, a lot of our goals will be achieved just by not being in the US any longer but we'd hate to end up in a spot that's working hard to emulate the current social and political climate here. Just as an example, we don't consider a large portion of Europe to be feasible for us due to the widespread tracking, online verification, etc. These aren't huge points by themselves but does lead one to believe that it's similar enough in it's trajectory to warrant concern.

I can answer any questions you might have that may be able to help guide suggestions but I'll leave it at this for now so I don't throw too many wrenches in the conversation.

Thanks for your time!

Really just curious about how it stands up spec-wise. The price point leads me to believe it's gotta be low-end on the spectrum but he's got a habit of pricing much lower than expected for products and services. I'm currently using a Pixel 9 running Graphene, for comparison's sake.

If so, what's your experience with both the phone and the company? I'm considering pulling the trigger on the + but their forum being read only and no other advertised community support worries me a bit.

Hi there, everyone.

For various reasons, our family makes use of Life360. I'm wanting to move to either a linux or completely degoogled phone(ATM, I'm on Graphene but utilize the Play store for Life360 and a few other apps) but can't afford not to have the ability for a group of 4 phones to share their locations with each other all the time, not just to send a pin at certain times. I ONLY need the real time sharing to other devices in the group, I don't need anything else that Life360 offers.

It can't be hard to use as one of the phones we need it on is owned by an 80yo with cognitive/memory issues. This is where Life360 shines, we're able to find him without him ever needing to do anything on his phone.

Is there an option for this out there for self hosting? I could even handle not self-hosted but multi-OS and non-Play connected. I do have a couple VPS I could run backend software on, if needed.

Thanks for your time!

I realized the ceiling is free storage space so have started adding all kinds of mounts and hangers for stuff in my garage. The fan's too heavy to lift by hand over-head so i build a lift station for it. Plans are in the works now for more ceiling lifts.

My wife was wholly unimpressed.

I found this wiki map but it's awfully vague. Does anyone have any idea which states' governments are currently most hostile towards age verification? Trying to figure out which state to virtually reside in for all the new TOS changes happening online right now that require you to input the state you live in.

Hi there, everyone.

I'm willing to stop using devices if necessary but I'm curious if there's any early information on how the OS is supposed to verify, who this gets passed to and how they would restrict access to the entire internet that would allow discussion on methods to circumvent this attempt.

I guess the OS could restrict the passing of information or it could be done via a check at the ISP but the fact that they're saying even mom and pop OSes do this check, it seems unlikely they'll be prepared to deploy something like that. If it's done at the ISP, I guess a packaged "passing" ID could be provided, whatever that entails.

I know this is in it's very early stages and nothing has been worked towards yet for satiating this requirement but has there been any discussion anywhere on how this might be handled?

I suspect the subsequent act will be banning VPNs so that we're not connecting to the WAN outside of our country. Perhaps this could be defeated by simply leasing a VPS in a foreign country to run a private VPN. I've read that the data looks identical to streaming a game so it might get by the geo-restriction.

I know there are no answers yet, I'm just looking for some discussion on how this might play out and how we could get around it.

Thanks for your time!

Hi there, everyone.

Recently, my librewolf install across all computers and operating systems has begun to try to compete with Bitwarden to offer to fill stored logins. This has happened before but quite a while ago. The solution was to go into settings and disable the browser's autocomplete feature for logins and passwords. The issue this time is that I can't seem to find the setting.

Has it been renamed or removed? How do I get librewolf to stop offering to fill login filelds?

Thanks for your time!

There was a comedy movie(Steve Martin keeps popping in my head but that's probably wrong) in which there's a scene where a guy is asked either his SSN or maybe driver's license number and he responds with like "5" so the copy is waiting and says something like it's not enough numbers so the dude goes "42" and that goes on a bit before he just rattles off way too many numbers to the guy.

That's all I've got. I did the same to my daughter when she needed my SSN and I wanted to show her the clip but my fog-addled brain is failing to recall what movie it's from.
