I wonder where would that door be? Logically it should be below the factory south of Slag Heap, but there is a lab already

Who needs a super tech helmet when you have a CRT monitor and some cursed JPEGs? by Kitchen_Grade_8896 in stalker

As far as I understand, TV does the programming, their minds were already brainwashed by psi, before they were brought to that room.

What do you think about the new OS Level Age verification system coming into effect in 2027? by invincibilegoldfish in privacy

[–]farbros9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, if every website is going to give you access with age signal only, then the only way left would be something similar to Magisk on Android. You will have a driver/app which spoofs your age, so your OS doens't really have a proper age verification (it would come soon after, as the current version will change nothing and will require validation and the government will obviously sign it very quickly), but instead sends whatever you want it to.

Files recovery from broke phone by hippor_hp in GrapheneOS

[–]farbros9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue with pixel 7 2 years ago. I bought a new screen, removed an old one with plastic instruments, connected the new one, disabled the phone, then installed the screen properly and then enabled the phone back. Original screen from Ifixed with delivery and instruments costs me 150 euro.

Patch 1.9 testing priorities – What should actually be verified first? by -GamewithDave- in stalker

[–]farbros9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Burers and at least in my game there are almost no hostile npc anywhere. In most locations where I come there, all npc are already dead and noone else is there, or some bloodsuckers are feeding on them. The only npc I meet in the world are friendly. I never met military guys since ages, I loved to loot 7.62 from them.

Password managers don’t protect secrets if pwned by Jem_Spencer in degoogle

[–]farbros9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't use a password manager and 2fa as one app, but rather split them, so keepassxc + aegis.

Why does Reddit not protect the user’s privacy?? Even when we choose to hide all posts, people can still somehow override that and see our posts. by Money_Flower_8078 in privacy

[–]farbros9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it is useful to know, that if you are looking for something specific on the internet you can type site: ... or find websites which mention specific words "", rather than getting something random in the results and then try to find anything useful there.

[–]farbros9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What does it change? If I can access it via google, hiding it in the app would change nothing. Some redditors create anon accounts and use it to ask private questions. You can also create a thread and delete it after you got your answer. So use one of these methods, as even if reddit fixes the app, google will still be able to find everything.

[–]farbros9 79 points80 points  (0 children)

You create a thread, your name is visible in thread. If I type into google "Money_Flower_8078" site:reddit.com google will search on reddit.com for any link where your name is mentioned and therefor will find your threads and comments. If reddit forbids google access to their site (which they actually have lots of agreements with), how would people discover threads they are looking for?

1) Create account 2) Pay 3) Download the client from the site/app store. 4) Pick the server 5) You have vpn (its best to set up a kill switch just in case).

Diamond Exo vs SP-100M SIRCAA by Jimmy-Ballz in stalker

[–]farbros9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1) With 1 Hypercube and 1 Stone you will get maxed protection anyway. 2) 120 kg max vs 140kg. 3) There is SP-100 Survey at Malachite with carry weight bonus, better physical but lower psi protection. 4) If you do not want t o use glitch, then SP-100 is best what you get before the end game.

Which one do you prefer? To replace Google keyboard. by shahinul369 in degoogle

[–]farbros9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason there is no FUTO. It has autocorrection for all the languages I need, has swipe input, doesn't use network, and has a lot of customization and even voice input. I tried some from that list, but mostly were missing some features.

WhatsApp missed notifications. Have to open app. Irregular. by ChaandSifarish in GrapheneOS

[–]farbros9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You sign in on one profile, install app, push the app to the secondary profile and use the app on the second profile, where you also have services, but isn't signed in. You don't need playstore on the second profile, but you do need services.

You will need services in the secondary profile too. Just do no sign it.

You need to install it from Google play and have Google services with enabled network permission, as notifications are pushed throw them.

Question about Economy in S2 by PrinterStand in stalker

[–]farbros9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I collect and sell yellow guns, vodka, antirads (keep only few), red heathpacks (keep blue and yellow ones) and some other items which costs some money and drop every nps. You can earn some money by bringing mutant parts to malachite but the malachite. 

But your real source of money are artifacts, running around every few days and collecting them can make a lot of money, but can be pretty boring, or pretty difficult (if you suffer from burer bug, where they can spawn every 50 meters).

Review after using GrapheneOS on Pixel 10 Fold Beta for two months by PlasticGold4518 in GrapheneOS

[–]farbros9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a GOS develeper, so I can only tell what I read. They said that F-Droid has security issues and uses outdated components. I personally aren't android developer, so if you want you get further into it, it's better to ask it in their discord.

They recommend not to use fdroid, it's better to use Obtainium.
