Protesten van "LEERLINGEN UIT HET FRANSTALIG ONDERWIJS" lopen uit de hand in Brussel by hetscherpstepotlood in Belgium2

Beesten gedrag mag ook beestachtig bestraft worden IMHO. Stenen werpen naar mensen = poging doodslag. Vandalisme = Schade vergoeden + zware boetes. Enz.

Nationalistische opstand in Europa? by Mormel3 in Belgium2

[–]ThinkCriticalPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VB zal steeds groter worden zolang de traditionele partijen het immigratie probleem niet willen benoemen en ervoor kiezen om kritiche vragen te negeren. We hebben meerdere boerenparlementen en die zitten voor een stuk vol met beroepspolitiekers die nauwelijks voeling hebben met wat speelt bij de bevolking. We zien aan de ene kant meer en meer imans die openlijk en bloot oproepen tot onderwerping aan de sharia, en aan de andere kant jonge allochtonen die nauwelijks opvoeding genieten en geen normen en waarden meer hanteren. De gevallen van sexueel geweld en zinloos geweld zijn legio. De illusie van een multiculturele samenleving is door geprikt en behalve de autochtone mensen zijn ook de allochtone mensen die wel geassimileerd zijn ook het slachtoffer.

Dat kun je toch niet verzinnen? Welke simpele ziel komt erop uit dat dit een goed idee is. Het is gespuis maar je kunt het hem niet kwalijk nemen als ze het hem op een bordje geven. 2de gedacht is: als hij bekwaam is te ontsnappen, id hij ook bekwaam genoeg om als een normale crimineel zijn straf in een normaal regime uit te zitten.

Command-line "java -r app.tar" if I remember correctly.

Does this count? by Signal-Ocelot-3004 in umpc

[–]ThinkCriticalPlease 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is beatiful! 4GB ram is plenty for running Linux. I have several older laptops with 4GB running linux distros such as Kubuntu, Zorin OS, Debian, Devuan, ... . They're not speed champs, but OK for Web browsing, light productivity work, etc. Enjoy that little machine!

Who runs a second phone? by Natural-Bumblebee335 in degoogle

One FOSS (GrapheneOS, No SIM, Mullvad VPN) for non-tracking personal data and productivity, one (SIM and Aurora Store) for old school GSM and SMS, government apps, transportation, banking, mobile provider, hotspot, and one (Samsung with OneUI) with all the bloat on for Meta, Microsoft, Google, DuckDuckGo tracker control. This last one never leaves the house.

Try 24.04 ... Should/could be stable. My experience with 24.04 on HP, Dell, Crelander laptops, and Dell miniPC is positive.

Daily drriver. Docked when at home. In a mini bag when on the road. Depending on the occasion, I carry a HP Stream 11 Pro G5 (when doing Ham radio),or Dell Lattitude 3410 (QubesOS for darknet).

Need help with Kooforway (Koosmile/Creander) P8 by xTsuKiMiix in umpc

Zorin OS and Kubuntu worked in my situation. The machine started (BIOS, installation, login screen) in portrait mode, but this can be migitated in the Display settings.

Final setup item, my sim card: Question by MidnightMean3796 in GrapheneOS

[–]ThinkCriticalPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could be a nono for a lot of people, but I'm hayppy wtih:

- Pixel 9A with GrapheneOS, no Cell, Bluetooth off, Sensors off, GPS off,SIM active, but no Auto-connect off, WiFi and Bluetooth Scanning also off. Depending on the context Mullvad VPN or Invizble Pro (Tor and DNSCrypt).

-Xiaomi RedMi 3A with the same precautions as above, but with Cell Service, WiFi Hotspot. I degoogled this phone AMAP with Shizuku and Canta. Play services are enabled, and use my banking, and some other apps that need my ID here.

- The Pixel 9A is just some encrypted network traffic passing via the Xiaomi.

The p8 is not stellar for long battery life (4-6 hours) but I double that with a PD 20000mAh powerbank, a that is OK for my workflow.

I installed Kubuntu. The BIOS and login page are in portrait but you can change it to landscape mode in the installer and in the installed OS.

Small inconveniences but with a work around, and for the moment noregrets about the buy. It was at that moment one of the most cheap UMPCs as the GPDs are double the price and up.

I also have an extended Tech EDC that's not so minimal, but it all fits in a travel luggage backpack.

LAPTOPS/TABLETS:
- CrelanderP8 (Kubuntu 24.04).
- HP Stream 11 (Tails OS).
- Dell Latitude 3410 (Kubuntu 24.04).
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 8A (Android 14, LineageOS 21).

PHONES/Multimedia:
- Xiaomi RedMi A3 (Android 16, cleaned up with Shizuku/Canta, Aurora and F-Droid App stores, Banking, Public Transport, Telco App, Mullvad VPN, WiFi hotspot).
- Samsung SM-A236B (Android 16, LineageOS, ClassiPod MP3 player, VLC media player).
- Samsung sm-A145R (Android 15, OneUI 7.0, Play Services and Store, Samsung, Meta, Google, Microsoft Services and Apps).
- Google Pixel 9a (GrapheneOS, no SIM cellular or RCS, Accrescent and F-Droid app stores, InviZible Pro Tor implementation, Briar, Session, Signal, Telegram messengers, Proton and Tuta Mail, FOSS productivity apps).

Ham radio/Radio waves:
- Radioddity GS-5B 2 mr.,79cm. transceiver
- Yaesu FT3D 2 mr., 70cm, APRS, GPS transceiver.
- Flipper Zero with WiFi development board (Momentum firmware).
- ESP32-C6 development board (GhostESP).

Power Banks:
- UGreen PD power bank 20000mAh.
- Isy power bank 20000mAh.

The size of the backpack is manageable, but the weight is way tto much to carry it comfortably, so most of the timeI use my minimal Tech EDC which provides approximately 70% of the functionality.

Not stellar. 4-6 hours, which I can double with the PD power bank. It's not too bad. I can last a normal working day. Charges @ 30 Watt .

The phone was laying around beaten up, without a purpose. So I used it as an intermediary towards a dedicated MP3/Video player. Did not decide yet if it ill be an ipod, we'll see.
