Antennapod with gPodderersync & Nextcloud? There are podcast apps for Nextcloud to play in the browser.

They didn't know and didn't need to.

If your rich or powerful, things normally can be worked to be in your favour. Wealth and power is more important than clever or hard working. House always win. They don't need 30y conspiracies.

There is no way the system isn't riddled with officials making money from drugs being unregulated and untaxed. So they want it to remain as is. Then there are DailyFail idiots who just want drugs (but not their wine) illegal.

Anyone with half a brain can see we should just legalize, regulate and tax drugs. We waste so much time, energy and money fighting ourselves.

The officials of 30 years ago were even more clueless about this stuff than today's. It's cock up, not conspiracy.

We want standards rather than monopolies. Normies & politicians (who get their tech advice from big tech) often get the two confused.

We want an ecosystem of competition, built on standards.

The Bazaar, not the Cathedral.

The problem is the new party that could realistically get into government right now is Reform.

The best I can hope for is Corbyn's peals left leaning voters back from Reform. Realistically it's not going to win power, so if they split left even more, we are in trouble. Hopefully, this is also true of Reform by the time of an election, but right now, it's worrying.

Reform will be a disastrous government making even the Tories look professorial and caring.

If you right leaning, you basically vote Tory or Reform. If you left leaning you have more choices, some of which depend where you are. The left can't all agree on a party. The closest to that is Labour. Our voting system just isn't setup for this. It's unrepresentative at the best of times.

They should be being sued for doing anti repair tricks.

The guys exposing the anti repair tricks are the heroes here.

It's doesn't fall over, it just slows down. Or appears to much more than OpenVPN. There could be something else going on, but for what ever the problem was, OpenVPN was coping better and just spitting out errors about a possible replay attack and continuing like nothing was wrong. I've not looked again as OpenVPN is working fine. For everything else, I'm using WireGuard.

[–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

Ah, I see it. Sorry. Corrected.

It's not really an issue with OpenVPN as it seams to cope. It's the only time I use OpenVPN instead of WireGuard.

Man in the middle can be part of it. It's just basically recording and sending stuff back. Generally I use WireGuard, but on unhygienic networks, were OpenVPN is warning about possible replay attacks, WireGuard doesn't work as well. Could be something else of course, but I've got one end. It's not constant or always.

To be honest, I've found WireGuard's performance is harmed more by replay attacks than OpenVPN. Least that is what I put it down to when I tried them both from a VPN provider that offered both.

Edit: missed the a in replay.

 

It too me a while to work out why my Nextcloud stuff wasn't working on my phone. It wasn't until I went to http://duckdns.org on mobile data I saw the block. I had changed ISP from one with IPv6, which I had setup, to an ISP without it, and thought it might be that. But it was just coincidence.

I've written to O2 but I doubt they will change anything, so I'll be changing network.

So heads up UK O2 self hosting people!

 

So I've got Android as I want. LineageOS, no Google, Magisk, MicroG but with AndroidAuto with OsmAnd+.

But the outside world of WhatsApp, Bank apps, etc is putting pressure to join. Plus not everything works properly with MicroG instead of the Google service provider. Makes me cross techno-politically, but I can't always hard life tech choices when it effects others.

So, what do others do? At the moment, I've thinking I need a non-free phone and a free-phone! Then what, I keep swapping SIM?? I can't see a workable VM solution to run a non-free Android in a freer Android.

The state of the phone market is pitiful.
