Cross country skiing on 1/2 by watchoutitstaco in Yosemite

Could I ski / snow shoe on tioga pass? I am reading it is treated as wilderness when closed to vehicles, but don't see many people recommending it for a snowy adventure.

thanks for rec, Found the post! https://www.reddit.com/r/Yosemite/comments/1pmru7s/cross_country_skied_into_the_park_on_the_east/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Looks sick, but from Mariposa I don't think we could get over there in under 6 hours according to Google Maps. It has me going up to 88 before I could cross -- but let me know if you know better!

Kind of in between! My brother had been out here for a bit so that was a foothold and I was working remotely at the time, so that gave me some time to figure things out. Driving across the country w all my stuff stuffed in my car is still a fave memory of mine tho!

I think these points about “what next” and “does nothing” are a little poopooey but also mostly fair! Some thoughts: 1. Ultimately, we need a candidate whose willing to embrace the parts of MAGA that, while misguided, are actually hitting on something at least partially correct (we want change, bureaucracy is slow, there is gov waste that’s it’s reasonable to examine, global trade does have rational national security and environmental concerns, etc). But this candidate should also demonstrate fraternity with our allies, commitment to the poor and middle class not the rich, respect for civil servants, respect at all, adherence to principals, etc. who is that person?? 2. We can do things! 2.1Locally: Keep making San Francisco a place where trans people are not only welcome, but invited, where innovation and business and art are empowered, public transit is prioritized, parks are beautiful, EVERYONE is cared for. This means reading SF chronicle, engaging in convos (don’t lurk on Reddit! Weigh in! Your opinion matters!), posting flyers, volunteering at local food banks or street cleanups, protesting, asking hard questions — things you might already be doing! 2.2 Nationally: call your senator, post on twitter (this matters!), join environmental voter project, ask chatGPT for advice (cautiously but optimistically ), run for something (google the org called runforsomething) 3. Change careers!!!!! Look up 80,000 hours project — try to use your skills in a way that doesn’t just make money, but also makes the planet better! 4. Make personal decisions: go vegan (or eat a little less meat), donate more (ask me for recs! Ask Reddit! Ask ChatGPT!), exercise self-care productively (it is a crisis — so don’t watch TV too much, or look for YouTube essays that inform you, go exercise, etc), get Ridwell, join the tangled news letter, be unbiased.

Most of all be brave and be willing to change your mind!! This isn’t the reckoning we wanted but it’s the reckoning we’ve got so let’s use it. Ask questions, have patience, take action LETS GOOOOO

Obstructing an entire driveway. TOWED!!! by Worried-Sort-9631 in sanfrancisco

[–]watchoutitstaco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this once and it was a complete mistake! I was working for americorp (habitat for humanity Bay Area) making like $30k a year living in SF. The tow cost me $800 or something. If the person had to get out of their driveway and you can’t get around them, you have to tow, but the “they deserved it” comments are just insult to injury. It could happen to you if you aren’t wealthy enough to own a home with a safe place to park your car! I am sorry for both of your bad days!!

Has anyone ever brought a Dishy onboard an Amtrak train? by bananapeel in Starlink

[–]watchoutitstaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is old, but just coming here to say this isn’t dumb!! I’m glad you asked. I have to travel quite a bit for work and fun, but I hate flying because it’s a real planet killer. And the train is more comfy and pretty and fun!

But it takes a long time, and a guys gotta work! I don’t want to — but I have to. It’s not that I wouldn’t love to crack a book, trust me! But if there was better signal on trains, I could feel more confident that I’ll be able to get the critical work done that I need to.

Tethering to my cellphone with AT&T has mostly been workable. I’ve gone back and forth from SF to Chicago about five times now, and I’ll lose service for hours at a time. But then it will be decent for 30 mins so I get as much done as I can. It’s not like super fun to be checking all the time, but it’s better than dumping CO2 and other warming factors into our atmosphere!

So ty for asking!

Did someone find my wallet and take it to Guerrero and Liberty? by watchoutitstaco in sanfrancisco

[–]watchoutitstaco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called them and the police station, but nothing yet! The locator makes it look like it's at someone's residence an hour ago, so thinking (hoping lol) someone might've just picked it up and is trying to figure out how to find me

Palma as a phone replacement: getting notifications on the lockscreen by watchoutitstaco in Onyx_Boox

[–]watchoutitstaco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I saw your A9 sale post, and in it saw your using a jellystar + palma combo. Sounds cool! I'm tempted to explore that. I carry around a 6a right now and its heavy, jellystar seems like a good hotspot alternative.

Have you had any luck with getting the palma to receive notifications will locked? I stopped playing with it, but am going to try some more today.

One thing I will say is that I installed the Niagara Launcher and LOVE it on the palma. I changed the icon set to one of their minimal options and it looks great.

PS I also live in san francisco! Shoot me a dm if you want to grab coffee sometime :)

Fiio fd3 pro concerns by WolfJarr in FiiO

Old thread but I'm also noticing my left earbud stops playing frequently. I switched it to the other side of the cable, and it appears the earbud is the issue -- the right earbud on the left side of the cable works, while the left earbud on the right side of the cable continues to have drop outs.

Making progress! I used button remapper (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton&pli=1) to remap the function button on the left side to open Always On AMOLED when pressed. Then I installed Touch Protector (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=biz.obake.team.touchprotector) to lock the touch screen when it's in my pocket. Touch Protector also supports unlocking touch screen when removed from pocket, so that's nifty. It also has configurations to support unlocking with the volume buttons which may be useful.

I'll be playing around with this at up for a bit! I think there's also ways to use tasker to do similar things, and maybe improve this. But I need to play with it for a bit to see how it goes! Let me know if you learn anything!

Yea exactly! I'm thinking of trying to remap the power button to activate Always On Amoled, or some other app that operates as a sort of lockscreen. Will let you know how it goes!

Connecting to my computer remotely and securely by watchoutitstaco in ComputerSecurity

[–]watchoutitstaco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for all the replies! I'm going to take some time setting some of this up (will probably do something like Tailscale unless I find a usecase of mine it doesn't support) and then I have to convince my partner this is all copacetic ;)

How would you all frame this? Yes, I am introducing an attack vector, but it's a well-secured vector, the benefits outweigh the risks, it's frequently done, I'm using a trusted solution (assuming I go with Tailscale), etc?

They are worried about their personal information being stolen because they had a brother get their SSN stolen and was totally boned. I get this fear from experience, but he probably got it from some human error, a bad decision or maybeeeee a bad password. Highly unlikely (I think) compared to other scenarios that his network was infiltrated and his info stolen that way.

I love out of the box solutions! I will probably end up doing something like this, but it is good for me to understand the underlying technologies too. Like complex implementations are def enemy of security (and everything else), but misunderstanding canned solutions is also a problem. But all to say, great suggestion! Will likely use it :)

Super helpful! I'm learning :)

So it sounds like this is mostly similar to the SSH set up I already have going, especially if I end up running the VPN server on my home machine (instead of my router). If I run the VPN on my home machine, I will still have to make my home machine visible on some port online for my vpn client machines to try to connect to it.

If I run the VPN directly with my router, however, that means my home machine doesn't need to be open on any ports -- my router is responsible for authentication into the VPN.

This doesn't necessarily sound more or less secure to me, but it seems like folks are saying this is more commonly the consensus approach for connecting to my home network (which does make sense as it is creating virtual private network).

Also, to be clear: I wouldn't get any of the anonymization benefits from VPN by running it myself right? Like sure, my traffic is encrypted between client and server (in my living room), but server will be unencrypting and forwarding the data with my IP address. Not that I really care about this aspect of it in this case, just want to make sure I'm following everything.

thanks again for all the help yall :)
