Vipps = MobilePay

EDIT: Nå, nu virker min mobilbank (Nykredit) heller ikke, den fører mig bare ind på en hjemmeside der siger at min mobil er rooted. MobilePay virker dog stadig.

Gammel version:

Det virker fint her på LineageOS med microG. Har du GrapheneOS' isolerede Google-apps? Det kan være det er det/microG der skal til.

In Denmark we have a saying: "When there's two Thursdays in a week", which is used when someone asks you something like "when can we have this thing?" or "when will you do that thing?" or "when will you give me a million dollars?"

So, Thursday.

SchildiChat Next, which is based on Element X, has implemented spaces.

Et øjeblik faldt jeg for den, indtil jeg læste det sidste. Der er godt nok ikke meget der er for langt ude til at kunne være sandt mere XD

I've been there, I used the "encrypted partition to be unlocked after boot via SSH"-option, but it quickly became tedious to have to input the password every time it rebooted. I wanted something that could recover by itself (I.e. start everything up again after a potential crash), so that I could maximize uptime and the investigate the crash later.

So I ended up disabling encryption. What I did instead was to find services with E2EE for my most sensitive stuff. Joplin for my personal notes is currently the only thing I have encrypted. Nextcloud has experimental E2EE, though I'm not really using it as of right now. Everything I deem too sensitive to trust my server with unencrypted, I store on encrypted flash drives.

I think the risk of the server itself being compromised/hacked is bigger than physical theft (at least in my case), and if you take some good precautionary measures, even that risk is pretty small unless you're being directly targeted by a skilled adversary. If the latter is the case, don't store sensitive stuff on something with an IP address.

I tried the lemon variant, it's quite good. But generally it doesn't last as long as Chewing Plastic^TM^.

We have something like that in Denmark as well, it's called True Gum.

That's nice. For MobilePay, you connect your bank account to receive money, but to send you need a card. You can also send using a bank account, but a card needs to be connected regardless (stupid design).

You still have to add a credit/debit card to it though.

This is a body wash rather than a shampoo, but I use Wild, they're based in the UK.

I'm sorry, but I don't necessarily believe this is great news. Not trying to be pessimistic here, but as long as they're gonna be the only ones out there, they're gonna end up just like M$, one big monopolistic cloud provider. Doesn't matter where it's based, still a monopoly.

Now I'm not saying others aren't gonna pop in and do something similar. If that's the case, that's great, but if not, we're just gonna make the same mistake all over again. We need competition, right now we don't have that because M$/Amazon/Google have all the power.

It kinda doesn't apply to cloud providers though, but I really believe decentralization is the only sustainable way forward. In the world of cloud providers and similar, competition and multiple options/providers is the key. We don't need more monopolies.
