try to sneakily make me register passcodes

Can you expand on this? I’m not sure what this means. Is it like instead of a full fledged password, just a four digit PIN or something? Thanks.

How does one find such retired laptops? As an individual hobbyist in the US, would I just monitor eBay, Craigslist, or Facebook?

I was about to ask, wasn’t Mullvad discontinued a few months ago? But I’m thinking of the Mull browser, right?

Update - using Distrobox, I confirmed the Window Capture option is missing from the Sources menu in OBS Studio v31 (Fedora 41):

It is there in OBS Studio v29 (Debian 12):

You might be right. The OBS kb says Game Capture is for Windows users only and that Linux users should use Window Capture. In my version, I have Game Capture, but not Window Capture. I fiddled with Game Capture, but after a few minutes I couldn’t get it to show anything other than a black screen, so I went back to what I use now, Screen Capture (Pipewire).

Good question. I’m not sure I can install the non-flatpak version because I’m on Bazzite. Then again, I reckon I can use Distrobox to skirt around that. I’ll try it and report back.

Noice, so presumably these are other people within your town/city? I’m sorry, I just think this is cool af.

Have you been able to communicate with anyone else on the mesh network?

And your outgoing emails aren’t getting caught in Google’s spam filters & what not?

my own domain and a good email service

Sorry for being dense, but how does this work exactly? Do you register your own domain as something like mangopenguin.com and then how do you get email to go through that?

self host whatever I can

Do you have hardware in your home or do you have some virtual private server or whatever they’re called?

I’m not even talking 4k, literally just 1080p—most streaming services won’t stream above 720p in a web browser.

to simplify the whole interaction

and watch video in full HD.

Are you being coerced into saying that, though?

Good to know. Is there a particular guide that you followed to get it running on AMD?

There are organizations that purport to be Yelp alternatives, such as Open Reviews Association, but I haven’t seen anything with widespread integration or adoption. It’s a cool idea nonetheless.

IGFS when?

I can see how the “manual” workflow might be preferable to some, so I’d say this app is a good rec nonetheless, thanks!

One thing, though—I noticed East and West are flipped on the map, and I haven’t played with it enough to ascertain why that is. Is this by design?

EDIT: I guess this orientation makes sense if I orient myself facing south and looking up, in which case east would be to my left and everything inside the circle represents what is visible to me from that time and location, right?

I had found this app as well, but couldn’t get it to point & shoot so to speak. Seems I must manually tap and drag to pan around the map. Am I just doing it wrong?

I’ve seen this app recommended in other articles; unfortunately, it is unavailable on F-Droid, so I’ve yet to try it for myself, but thanks for the recommendation.
