What is your process for automating this checksum twice a year? Does it give you a text file dump with the absolute paths of all files that fail checksum for inspection? How often does this failure happen for you?

Can't run various banking apps and can't run PagerDuty on a rooted device due to Google Play API Integrity Check. The ecosystem is closing in on any options to not send telemetry, and Google is leading the way in the restrictions on Freedom.

I ordered a pibox in February. When are they shipping?

Is your mail-in-a-box and Nextcloud totally separate? I know MiaB has an integrated Nextcloud, but their documentation says that they only support contacts / calendaring, so I'm hesitant to use it without fully documented support for all Nextcloud's features.

Doesn't Tron solve this the legal way? https://old.reddit.com/r/TronScript/

I found this through the Webcrate HN post and was looking to get more information on this organization. It sounds very similar to what Sandstorm was doing, I wonder if they are using Sandstorm as the base of their platform.

What hardware profile runs your true nas? I've been looking to build something open source rather than using Synology.

Since you are a long term nomad, I'm wondering what your solution is for Government documents (IRS, Driver License, Car Registration, Jury Duty notification, absentee voting, etc), bank statements (KYC regulations), and other things that need a real address, and not an personal mailbox service? I've had issues with using PO Boxes even with Street Addressing, but I'm not sure a UPS store box would fix those issues.

Services like EarthClassMail sound like it would fit the bill, but I'm wondering if whatever API's these SaaS services use to validate "true residential address" will eventually blocklist these services addresses.

Thanks!

Thanks for this, years ago when I was on the road and wanted to visit last minute and quickly searched for information on where to go and tours, I didn't find this gem. Really helpful to see they have a visitors center in Barstow.

Any information on how to visit? I tried visiting there as a spur of the moment thing when I was passing through Barstow. The military checkpoint personnel on the road to Goldstone were not happy and turned me away after a light questioning, checking driver license and license plate against databases, and visually inspecting the inside of the vehicle from outside with the windows down.

Quite interested!

Didn't we have something very similar with sidecar, and nobody knew about them? They couldn't compete with Uber and Lyft and went under. That's from vague memory...

Interesting coincidence, my Ubuntu 12.04 Let's Encrypt certbox-auto updated in March 2019 to a version which no longer runs on Ubuntu 12.04 without major surgery.

I wonder if this bit Mozilla and caused this issue.

Yes.

Incredible! I've always been fascinated when driving by the Sylmar station (many times in my life) and never knew that I was driving by connecting infrastructure when on PCH in that area.

And even more interesting is they are replacing/replaced it! https://www.circlingthenews.com/terminus-of-sylmar-ground-re...

To me, you were describing today's world. Maybe that was the point.

A solution could be a Firefox browser extension that allocates a huge number of v6 addresses to your computer dynamically from your LAN /64 or /56 and creates fake garbage google usage data, so that google can never build a profile on you based on v6 address (if you are this paranoid).

Or... just stop using google and use uBlock Origin to block all Google domains.

True, I did forget about the Qwest acquisition from Centurylink because that was so long ago (to my memory). I do remember the days when routing problems and outages with Qwest in public forums always led to the 'Qworst' name popping up.

I also work for a shop that I recommended Level(3) DIA fiber/Layer 3 services on about 1.5 years ago. Now that it's CL, not much has changed on service or reliability.

The sales people however are still trying to expand their grasp into our organization so it's always a battle there.

If the title said just Centurylink instead of Utah, people would be complaining of click bait, so I think Utah was the better choice. Using "Centurylink (only in Utah)" or something similar would have been the most ideal from an accuracy POV.

On the retail, general consumer side: Level(3) doesn't have much of any brand recognition. That's why I said "carrier/enterprise/ISP".

On the business side, it has quite a bit of premium name recognition which seems to be getting thrown away from the way they are being swallowed up.

They purchased Level(3) who already previously owned Global Crossing, Savvis Video and Genuity, among other acquisitions.

The Level(3) name was much more memorable in the carrier/enterprise/ISP field and it feels like they are starting from scratch on brand recognition, because as you said, lots of people haven't heard of Centurylink before.

Edit: And as noted by the thread "CenturyLink is totally shady.", Centurylink's retail consumer reputation is quite tarnished (as are most large consumer ISP companies) and mixing that reputation with Level(3) was a bad decision, IMO.

We just spent a lot on that. [1]

Are you not seeing results?

Which they regularly do.

See: LA Gold Line for the nth time that a Big Rig smashes through the center divider and rests on the tracks.

The Google maps app is quite slow and bloated now on my Galaxy S6 and Nexus 5X. I think OSM has a great opportunity to overtake them on the "app being better" metric. Too many features have been crammed into Maps.

Why not 3.0.0.0 or 3.255.255.255 ?

Also, of course, only allowing remote access from a controlled list of source IP addresses.

Pretty cool! One thing to note is the cooling capacity is limited to the consumption rate of the city based on how it's designed right now.

> The cold water drawn from Lake Ontario's deep layer in the Enwave system is not returned directly to the lake once it has been run through the heat exchange system. The Enwave system only uses water that is destined to meet the city's domestic water needs. Therefore, the Enwave system does not pollute the lake with a plume of waste heat.

There was a HN discussion a couple of days ago complaining about companies going public much later. Could the short term quarterly horizon of public investors, as pointed out here, be a big reason companies don't IPO sooner?

Could they build the Play store cost into the Play store option? The same game would be available through their website with two links, one for direct download from the website, and one link 30% higher to the play store. Let consumers decide how much inconvenience / insecurity that 30% is worth.
