i think it would have been different if he wiped it before he came through customs. he gave them the pin, which destroyed the data after it was requested. almost like the phone was boobytrapped.

personally i just try to delete most of my communication apps on the plane before i get back to the states (signal, lemmy, instagram...) in case they want to search my phone and get mad about a meme. (precident). i also try to offload as much as possible to selfhosted apps where applicable (rss reader, podcasts) so i can just log back in and have everything.

i dont know how far these searches can go, but id be worried about password managers and app store history too along with any account where you can just "log in with google" or whatever. once the device is unlocked and in their hands, they can have access to quite a bit of personal information.

i bet theyre just pissy this technology exists and are trying to make it illegal.

    another thing to note: after an update, when your aur tool says you have orphaned packages installed, highly consider removing them.

    if you want to keep them for whatever reason, try to remember (or write them down) so if they get an update out of the blue, you can scruitinize the pkgbuild

    to put it more politely:

    it started being used online in the early 2000s to describe an "outgroup". 4chan was using it basically the same way as everyone else, except their ingroup is racist.

    even the wikipedia says as much. the disabled groups and the alcoholics used it to describe an outgroup.

    4chan did not invent the term. they just used it like everyone else did.

    I've been working on degoogling. i got a fairphone 6 with e/os. its been a great push in the right direction because many google services i previously relied on such as google home dont work.

    no worries, ive always wanted to get better with Home Assistant. but devices dont generally advertise if theyre compatable with home assistant. so i got the matter controller for home assistant, great. just arrived yesterday, and tried to add a matter bulb to test it out.

    home assistant says i need to be on official android with the home assistant companion app downloaded from the play store, not the fdroid version

    I recently got a new NAS and Im trying to import my watched status. the recommended way seems to be via trakt, which I am already using.

    The issue is the new jellyfin instance doesnt seem to be importing my trakt watched status. I do have my files organized differently on the new server, if thats the issue.

    Anyway, this is keeping me from actually using my new NAS so I'd like to get this solved. Any advice is appreciated
