(probably the most downvoted post i’ve made yet on lemmy 😂)

If you’re ready to break free of Android, I would recommend https://postmarketos.org/ though it only works well on a small (but growing!) number of devices.

imho if you want to (or must) run Android and have (or don’t mind getting) a Pixel, Graphene is an OK choice, but CalyxOS is good too and runs on a few more devices.

i guess maybe if you’re using a device with a tiny screen and a lemmy client that doesn’t let you zoom in on images

Hi, I’m an admin on lemmy.ml. The account of the one existing mod of the session community here has apparently been deleted.

I’ve heard there are some bugs with moderation of remote communities, but, I just made you a mod there anyway. I don’t know the state of those bugs; it might work better if you made an account on this instance.

Btw, I recommend against using Session for a variety of reasons including the one I posted in your thread here.

It’s literally a covert project funded by google to both sell pixels and harvest data of “privooocy” minded users. It seems to be working well.

Is it actually funded by Google? Citation needed.

I would assume Graphene users make up a statistically insignificant number of Pixel buyers, and most of the users of it I’ve met opt to use it without any Google services.

17 × 59 = 10003

you’ve got an extra zero in there, and you forgot the 1, but the rest of your divisors match my crude brute-force approach:

>>> n=31521281
>>> d = [ x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x ]
>>> d
[1, 11, 17, 59, 187, 649, 1003, 2857, 11033, 31427, 48569, 168563, 534259, 1854193, 2865571]
>>> yours=list(map(int,"11+17+59+2857+11033+534259+1854193+2865571+168563+48569+10003+31427+649+187".split("+")))
>>> set(yours) - set(d)
{10003}
>>> set(d) - set(yours)
{1, 1003}
>>> sum(d)
5518399

same conclusion though: 5518399 also ≠ 31521281

>>> isperfect = lambda n: n == sum(x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x)
>>> [n for n in range(1, 10000) if isperfect(n)]
[6, 28, 496, 8128]

>>> divisors_if_perfect = lambda n: n == sum(d:=[x for x in range(1,n//2+1) if not n%x]) and d
>>> print("\n".join(f"{n:>5} == sum{tuple(d)}" for n in range(10000) if (d:=divisors_if_perfect(n))))
    6 == sum(1, 2, 3)
   28 == sum(1, 2, 4, 7, 14)
  496 == sum(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 31, 62, 124, 248)
 8128 == sum(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 127, 254, 508, 1016, 2032, 4064)

Why is it a subway sandwich?

/r/shittyaskreddit wasn’t supposed to be an instruction manual 🙄

np, you’re actually early

yeah, they aren’t very active, but (presumably due to federation bugs) there is more there than your instance is showing you: from my perspective the most recent post on the mander community is from one month ago and the lemmy.ml community has three posts including one that isn’t from a mod.

you might be able to pull those posts into your instance by searching for their permalinks there (which you can find from the fediverse icons on each post in the web view of those communities on another instance).

E: old thinkpad gang input: take the time to reapply thermal grease to the cpu at some point. It makes a huge difference.

What’s a “gang input”?

😂 it’s an input to this discussion from a member of the group of people (“gang”) who have experience with old thinkpads. and yes, if your old thinkpad (or other laptop) is overheating and crashing, reapplying the thermal paste is a good next step after cleaning the fans.

I’d love a community here on lemmy for Meshtastic.

There are two:

• /c/meshtastic@mander.xyz
• /c/meshtastic@lemmy.ml

If your objection is honored, it will be applied going forward

Indeed, the only thing WhatsApp-specific in this story is that WhatsApp engineers are the ones pointing out this attack vector and saying someone should maybe do something about it. A lot of the replies here don’t seem to understand that this vulnerability applies equally to almost all messaging apps - hardly any of them even pad their messages to a fixed size, much less send cover traffic and/or delay messages. 😦

xzbot from Anthony Weems enables to patch the corrupted liblzma to change the private key used to compare it to the signed ssh certificate, so adding this to your instructions might enable me to demonstrate sshing into the VM :)

Fun :)

Btw, instead of installing individual vulnerable debs as those kali instructions I linked to earlier suggest, you could also point debootstrap at the snapshot service so that you get a complete system with everything as it would’ve been in late March and then run that in a VM… or in a container. You can find various instructions for creating containers and VMs using debootstrap (eg, this one which tells you how to run a container with systemd-nspawn; but you could also do it with podman or docker or lxc). When the instructions tell you to run debootstrap, you just want to specify a snapshot URL like https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20240325T212344Z/ in place of the usual Debian repository url (typically https://deb.debian.org/debian/).
