Drones trespassing in my property

Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would...

glasgitarrewelt,

E.g. in germany it is not allowed to fly over private property with a drone (equipped with a camera), no matter the height. You have to stay above offical streets. And maximum flight hight is 120 m, if I remember correctly.

I guess it’s EU law, so it should be simmilar in other EU countries.

glasgitarrewelt,

In Germany you are only allowed to shoot your pulse laser with 24 giga-watt max. I guess it’s an EU law, so should be the same for all of europe.

glasgitarrewelt,

And you can recognize that there are multiple problems with different severity and need to be adressed from most severe to lowest severe.

glasgitarrewelt,

Your list of ideas what we actually can do is pretty short, we obviously need to spread more information. Good to know, thanks.

glasgitarrewelt,

Awful aggro my ass, you cunt.

But jokes aside: I interpreted the comment like they put teens on ebikes and our car favoring infrastructure on the same level. Those two problems are so far apart, that I think that my response isn’t too harsh, or even ‘Awful aggro’ (That’s an awfully aggro interpretation of my comment, by the way).

glasgitarrewelt,

You are right, banning private cars for only a few streets would be a great success for any city.

Lower hanging fruits would be to allow bikes to drive in both directions in one way streets, put some asphalt on cobble stone streets, get an inner city speed limit of 30 km/h, use many zebra crossings, design narrower streets (the narrower the street, the faster a driving person feels, without going faster), remove parking space in the inner city and make cars park outside of the center,…

Many many things that should be done before even starting to try to regulate ‘rude teens on ebikes’ with idiotic ideas presented here (driver license for ebikes?!)

The fast ebike problem would solve itself with an infrastructure that stops favoring cars and starts to seperate pedestrians and bikes with the gained space.

glasgitarrewelt,

Thanks for the linked blogpost about Kagi! That saved me a lot of money.

It really changed my mind about it… I want to support a privacy focused search engine, not an AI-loving mess without focus on their core product.

I will have a look at MetaGer next. Although I am sad that there is still no good original search engine with it’s own results… Still all depending on Google and Microsoft.

glasgitarrewelt,

I am using it to communicate with 3 people (our common ground as I don’t have an iPhone and don’t use Whatsapp).

A few years ago it felt a bit ruff and awkward to use, but many updates later it is as fluent as any chat app.

The security feels ok. Of course it would be a lot better, if they would open source their code.

glasgitarrewelt,

I tried what you are describing: Using a Pi4 and loading lineageOS (KonstaKANG) on it. Before that I tried libreELEC with Kodi or something like that… Internet via WLAN. Both setups suck. Everything is slow, input with my cableless keyboard/touchpad is laggy and I am not using the TV because of it… Watching jellyfin on my smartphone is more convenient.

But I am new to all this stuff, so maybe I missed some ways to optimize this setup. Next time I will just take a long HDMI cable and connect the TV with my main PC.

glasgitarrewelt,

Good to know, I’ll give it a try sometime, thanks.

What is a Google?

Israel using Meta's WhatsApp to kill Palestinians in Gaza through AI system (www.middleeastmonitor.com)

According to software engineer and blogger, Paul Biggar, however, one key detail on the methods employed by the Lavender system that is often overlooked is the involvement of the messaging platform, WhatsApp. A major determining factor of the system’s identification is simply if an individual is in a WhatsApp group containing...

glasgitarrewelt,

Yes, it is easier for you to continue using Whatsapp. At least you tried.

glasgitarrewelt,

It is easier to live without facebook, than you think.

glasgitarrewelt,

You are absolutely right of course, I was a bit sarcastic in the comment above. I firmly belive that the pursuit of a more convenient live will be our downfall - in terms of privacy, but also e.g. in terms of traffic (cars are very convenient but shouldn’t be the future for the masses).

glasgitarrewelt,

It’s hard to relate, because I wouldn’t even know if there are businesses in my area which only use facebook - because I don’t use facebook.

I wanted to use a business that wanted me to send them pictures of my drive way via Whatsapp. I ended up taking my business to a different guy, who was able to work with mail. No harm done, everyone is still happy, still no need for Meta products.

Edit: of course I acknowledge that I don’t know anything about you or your situation. You maybe really can’t work/live without facebook.

glasgitarrewelt,

Same here, I really like driving, it can be fun and (sometimes) relaxing and there is no better place to sing along to some songs.

At the same time I try to avoid driving as much as possible, I take the bike, walk, take the train, no matter the weather. I don’t want to be one of those cars sitting at the red light, using up space, polluting the environment and giving our local parties the idea, that we need that one more lane.

Some things are more important than a few convenient minutes.

glasgitarrewelt,

Yes, ukraine should lose some more soldiers to take a cut out of russia, to really show them. /s

Damn, this position at the sideline, rooting for our team, surley is comfortable.

glasgitarrewelt,

Can’t confirm, for me the contact, calendar and notes sync is running so smooth and maintenance-free, it feels close to magic.

glasgitarrewelt,

I am impressed, creating btrfs sub-volumes in a debian installation with muscle memory would look like magic to me (as a linus-beginner).

The partitioning and filesystem stuff feels very unsorted and confusing for me.

But if all the standard settings are ok for you and you only have to hit enter, I guess the installer is ok.

glasgitarrewelt,

I heard rumours that there was a giant animal involved in the making of Linus Torvalds. So please refer to him as GNU/Linus, or GNU+Linus.

I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me

I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every...

glasgitarrewelt,

It is never too late. Free yourself from this abusive relationship, it feels fantastic.

glasgitarrewelt,

Legitimate question. Targeted ads feel obvious to many, but it is more about control.

  • Google knows more about you than your partner or you yourself know about you. And they know how to use that knowledge. The scariest part: this control over you is for sale.
  • Google controls how you use things. By being the defacto standard in so many things, they have the power to control how things look, feel and are beeing used. We are missing a lot of innovation because of that.
  • Google can basically decide, which business survives and which doesn’t. It’s not the one with the better product, it is the one which pays more money to Google. By that it helps to promote big companies, small businesses have a hard time to establish themselves. Even in my small citiy: if the new barber doesn’t pay for Google placement and begs for useless 5-star-ratings, he won’t survive.
  • It is hard to get out! You are getting lulled in with convenience and you unlearn how to use the internet outside of Google. Google takes prisoners and puts them in a plushy cell.

I think you’d be surprised at how much everything else is tracking you still.

You are absolutely right, I am surprised again and again. But I do my best to avoid it, if I find something that tracks me. And I am surprised that so many people let themselves being exploited, and even defend this exploitation.

Free yourself! It is work. But it is worth it. And it is not too late.

glasgitarrewelt,

Your comment is one of few that really deserves a downvote - but there are at least 30 people that interpret the downvote and upvote function differently. Lucky you. Downvoting should be used to identify poor comment quality, not disagreement. Your comment quality is very poor.
