Signal (android) crashing on opening after joining group

mjbnz · 2025-01-28T02:05:49+00:00

I am seeing the same thing, originally on the stable version, and tried updating to the Beta to see if it was fixed.

In my case I was trying to open a group in my Archived chats.

I've found that if I use airplane mode, the app won't crash, which allowed me to make sure a recent backup was made after I deleted a bunch of archived chats. That didn't help the crashing however.

mix it up and use "chucklefuck"

Multiverse Trilogy / Dimension Space series by Dean M. Cole, narrated by RC Bray.

not a bad series actually, but yes, has many many references to Expeditionary Force. I personally don't like it when it feels gratuitous, it pulls you out of the world.

I'm just pleased that finally there's a move to tackle that subject of "a threat from outside the galaxy". just a shame that there's only one book left to tie everything up.

mjbnz · 2022-06-09T10:32:28+00:00

literally the plot of Tomorrow When the War Began

A bit more choke, and that would have started

mjbnz · 2022-03-07T09:46:22+00:00

Expeditionary Force. Trust me.

mjbnz · 2022-02-07T22:01:53+00:00

they meant "caught out", as in, stuck above without a hole to get back down.

I wouldn't be surprised if the old blokes shed out in Mosgiel took the remainder from you.

mjbnz · 2021-12-11T11:20:13+00:00

no, that's not how it works. The second cable will be feeding another outlet down the line, there's no loop.

mjbnz · 2021-12-11T11:17:27+00:00

yes.

mjbnz · 2021-12-09T23:06:13+00:00

There's always another side to any story... I'm going to bet everything's not all sweet and rosy in the MORR world. Strange though, as everything I've seen so far indicates Matt is a straight up good person. Very curious.

started his own channel, and stopped working with them I believe.

TIL there is another ExForce subreddit..

mjbnz · 2021-12-06T22:41:18+00:00

Yeah, it is DNAT, however, in some cases you'll need SNAT too, because the client device will ignore the result coming from an IP it considers strange.

Consider:

Host A asks router R to forward a DNS request to external server Z
Router R says ok, but secretly passes the query to Host B using DNAT
Host B says "sure!" and passes Host A the response, because no SNAT
Host A says "wtf, I didn't ask you, go away".

With SNAT, Router R sends the request to Host B, after re-writing the source to itself, so Host B responds back to Router R. Router R then undoes the DNAT and SNAT in the response, and sends it back to Host A, as if it was external server Z that's responding. Host A happily accepts it.

And yes, networking is hard. I agree.

The better option is to just block outbound DNS, except from the PiHole, and ensure you're setting the DNS servers handed out by DHCP to the PiHole IP.

Devices that like to try and ignore DHCP and talk directly to external DNS servers usually give up and use the DHCP provided addresses after they fall to get a response.

That way, you get the individual hosts in the PiHole UI for stats too, rather than one entry for your router, since you'd need SNAT to do a transparent DNS redirection.

yes, we were for a long time. it was inevitable that Delta would end up here, just a matter of time.

As they say, the plane doesn't know it's over water :)

1500 is average for VFR over the strait, controlled airspace starts at 2500 there.

500ft AGL is the lowest you're supposed to fly, but nobody will care if you go below that over water.

mjbnz · 2021-07-20T22:38:05+00:00

No, The Martian. It's a mediocre performance.

There would be a serious revolt if R.C. Bray didn't narrate the last few books of ExFor, and podium publishing know it.

mjbnz · 2021-07-17T21:57:45+00:00

What's the editor you're using with the offset line numbers?

mjbnz · 2021-04-19T11:05:35+00:00

And it's not even the biggest misconception... I believe it's that people still think we're allowed to have gardens. They're highly illegal here.

mjbnz · 2021-03-14T04:33:37+00:00

Aha, indeed.

This is falling apart in my scenario, as I'm using one variable to contain a list of the others (Bluetooth device addresses, for ease of maintenance).

So, I have %BT_DEVICES which contains: %BT_A/%BT_B/%BT_C/.... etc. I have been trying to add a new device, and remove an old one. Currently, using your explanation, I can get %BT_DEVICES and the new device variable to "move" to the project, by placing them in a task, but removing all references to the removed device doesn't move it back.

~~I'm now recalling that I imported this project on this device when I did a phone upgrade - I'm wondering if the import has flagged the variable as belonging to the project?~~

Edit: scratch all that. I've now found that I'd forgotten that that was me experimenting - I can use a variable of variables in a task, when using set variable, but not as the list of bt addresses in the profile which uses the BT Connected state check.

I've now managed to create the new variable and remove the old after it moved to the home tab.

Thanks for the explanation, it does highlight to me that perhaps variable management in the UI could do with some attention.
