It depends on the data but usually I’m just never offline. My NAS is accessible from around the world for my music and code repo and since I’m on IPV6 I didn’t even have to deal with port forwarding and reverse proxy nonsense. Photos I’m hosting an app that’s similar to Google photos and backs up from phone (it’s kind of custom to how I do things but there’s various self hostable apps). If I know I’m going to be truly offline unable to even connect through my phone somehow I’ll manually copy the files to my laptop. I haven’t done that in like five years though and it’s only been a mild inconvenience once and honestly I just disconnected and enjoyed a peaceful offline day.

Or a NAS for truly decoupled. Only thing I’d lose with a fresh install is any installed applications which can all be pulled again easily but the added upside of my wife also having easy access.

Completely missed that. My eyes rushed over that as an alternative CPU I think.

We need more good AMD options dangit, not just NVIDIA

They even actually re-released a version of the 3310 a few years back. I still have my old Garmin knocking about, wonder if it’s got updated maps if I got a model without GPS.

Android is already based on Linux. But in general there are FOSS phone OS’s. GrapheneOS being the dominant player

I started joking that my next phone will be a Nokia 3310. I feel more and more each day like that should just be my actual next phone

Gotcha. I saw kbin in the domain and them asking about kbin so I just figured they were on kbin still. I see now their instance does actually look to be on mbin

Every time I stumble across an uptime post I laugh, and then proceed to do my daily ritual of having to fully pull out my power cable and reinsert it to get the laptop to wake up.

I hate to be the one to let you know if you didn’t but kbin is dead. It hasn’t had any new code in 2 years and the main instances aren’t running. There’s probably issues all over with it and will only get worse

Time to build a small Dyson Sphere.
