How trustworthy is movie-web in terms of anonymity?
Errm, Wireshark. Please bear with me.
Wireshark is a shining example of an open source project completely and utterly crapping on the closed source competition. As a result we all benefit. I recall spending a lot of someone else’s money on buying a sort of ruggedized laptop with two ethernet ports to do the job back in the day.
Nowdays, I can run up a tcpdump session on a firewall remotely with some carefully chosen timings and filters and download it to my PC and analyse it with Wireshark.
OK, all so convenient but is it any use?
Say you have a VoIP issue of some sort. The PCAP from tcpdump that you pass to Wireshark can analyse it to the nth degree. Wireshark knows all about SIP and RTP (and IAX) and you can even play back the voice streams or have them graphed so you can see what is wrong or whatever. That’s just VoIP, it has loads of other dissectors and decorators built in.
So what?
The UK (for example) will be dispensing with boring old, but reliable, POTS (Plain Old Telephony System) by 2025. Our entire copper telephony and things like RedCare (defunct soon) will go away.
We are swapping out circuit switching for packet switching. To be fair, a lot of the backend is already TCP/UDP/IP that is shielded away from us proles. When SoGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access) really kicks in then the old school electric end to end connection will be lost in favour of packet switching, which never fails (honest guv).
If you are an IT bod of any sort, you really should be conversant with Wireshark.
I love Wireshark but I hate every day I have to open it up :D

And the entire Fossify app suite in Android:
scrcpy for connecting to my Android screen from my laptop:
kde connect for general android/laptop connectivity:
The Fossify apps do look pretty slick.
I use the Unison file sync tool to keep backups of all my important files on flash drives and servers. For mobile devices I do use Syncthing because MTP is painfully slow and taking the SD card out of the device to plug it in is too much of a hassle, but I would rather use Unison.
Why do you prefer it over syncthing?
With Unison syncing is a manual process, I run it and it tells me what’s changed on each side and I can make changes as appropriate. Syncthing is a bit too automatic for my taste and its conflict resolution is a bit more involved.
Ah thank you, that wasn’t obvious to me from its website

Podcini looks very similar to AntennaPod, what are the differences?
Is DekuSMS similar to Silence?
Could you share a link for wormhole?
Podcini is a drastically modernized fork of it.
DekuSMS is the same princible but updated, Silence is not maintained and should not be used.
Is it just me that can’t get carrion to work? I download the databases, set it not to silence unverified calls (cause every call seems to be unverified) and I still miss all my calls cause it silences everything.
It doesnt silence calls for me…

They are in the google play store and f-droid i believe
Barrier: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
Edit: Input Leap looks like a promising KVM replacement for Barrier, thanks for sharing!
To save people some times : Barrier seems to be an app meant to control multiple devices with the same mouse and keyboard. You need to install the software on all the machines for it to works.
You can then bind a keyboard shortcut to switch device. You can also bind it if you put your mouse at the and of a screen.
Take care you all
To save them some more time: Wayland isn’t supported yet, unfortunately.
Immich is the must for self-hosting photos. Bye Google.
