I believe this is the first release of Calyx that lets you re-lock it. You couldn't on the older ones. I was running the old one right up until the new one released.

I think general advice is only lock it at the end of installation process to avoid problems (at least that's what I think I read months ago). You will leave a security hole open by not locking it.

I noticed some of the documentation on the Calyx site hasn't been updated to reflect changes in the new release. I'd prioritise info from the installer pages and processes over most other info on the site at the moment.

    I used it for a week when I got FP4 (2024). It was pretty usable. I was still using my iPhone for music and to have it handy in case I needed something that UT couldn't do. It was a slow, planned migration. I was having an issue with music not outputting volume and then threw Calyx on it as music was a deal breaker for me. I still had the same issue on Calyx, it wasn't the OS that was the problem.

    I've been on Calyx since aside from another little foray in UT before updating to the new Calyx and my issues with UT are all software based. The OS is functionally great on the phone, which makes sense because FP officially support it now.

    Soccer is a minor sport in Australia compared to others. I don't really watch it but after we hosted the women's world cup a few years ago I did give the local A League a look. It just wasn't for me but I did try.

    I'll watch the odd international game (even other countries) if it lines up now so the world cup did improve my opinion of the game, even if it didn't convert me to a fan.

    I've got both and prefer vinyl. If I was starting from zero now I would focus on CDs. Not everything is available in every format but I think CDs have the most coverage.

    I should start by saying, I am trying to find out information in good faith and have done a bit of research that was largely unproductive thanks to all the spin and "expert commentary".

    My understanding is the new proposal would tax gains adjusted for inflation at 30%. I am also of the understanding that you could claim a 50% discount on this tax if you lived in a property it would apply within a timeframe. I am not sure how it was calculated for other asset classes.

    So I guess my questions are, is the above correct? What were the old rules? What are the new rules? What's this 47% equity thing doing the rounds that just sounds incorrect?

     

    This song is from Scottish band Biffy Clyro's 2007 album Puzzle. The album largely deals with the death of the lead singer's mother.

    About the song (from an interview quoted on Wikipedia)

    It's about not wanting to waste your life, but about having no idea where to turn and suddenly being aware of your own mortality.

    He also added that it is "about hitting a low point and not giving a fuck. It was classic depression, I suppose."

    I managed to convert someone to Signal this week. Was having reception difficulties with a phone call (both of us in spotty areas) and after a drop out, managed to get them on board with Signal. A very notable quality improvement in the call which helped reinforce to them it was a good idea.

    I'm going to work on setting up Pihole over the weekend.

    Note: I did steal this topic idea from Techlore.
