    I just started experimenting with SailfishOS, a Linux (non-Android) OS for phones. It’s got an app store, but since it’s not Android the app selection is pretty limited. I was actually wondering if this could be a compromise between full smartphone and full dumbphone.

    I am able to run some Android apps, by installing them through F-Droid, like Bitwarden, but it seems like I wouldn’t be able to install Facebook I think? Idk. Literally just got this SailfishOS phone from Jolla Devices yesterday.

    doesn’t mean every customer that wants high resolution has to suffer.

    There’s no possible solution to this problem. Oh, no. If only someone could invent some way where customers that want to deal with bugs could buy a HiDPI display and customers who just want their software to work could chose a regular DPI display. Like, if 2 options were available or something crazy like that… Idk.

    Also yeah, I’m on a super niche DE nobody has ever heard of: GNOME.

    I’ve dealt with this first hand. It was so bad I returned my old Framework. Not doing that again. Anyway, looks like nothing has changed. Have fun dealing with scaling issues. ✌️

    There are two types, by map and token to conform to different usecases.

    Ahh, ok… I’m seeing the docs.

    ShareType: type of share

    token: token-based share (do not require user authentication)
    map: map-based share (requires user authentication)

    Ahh, ok. So whether you need authentication or not.

    There are also two different storage types, csv and files.

    And the docs for that…

    CSV

One CSV file containing one row per sharing config, separated by ; and containing header with columns from above.

If given, properties are stored in JSON format in CSV.
Files

File-based configuration store is using encoded PathOrToken as filename for each config. File contains the data stored as "dict" in binary Python "pickle" format (same is also used for item cache files).

    So if you want plaintext vs binary storage.

    you have to edit your config file with the ‘[sharing]’ section.

    Would you mind sharing your config, pretty please. 🙏

    Tailscale is Canadian

    Ah, nice. I actually didn’t realize that. They are also open source friendly https://tailscale.com/opensource I don’t hate Tailscale, btw. They seem nice.

    But, I like Netbird lets you self-host the server components. And, an important feature for me, is that Netbird doesn’t require me to create an account with Big Tech to use the service. Right now I created a dummy account with GitHub just to use Tailscale, Netbird just allows me to create a username and password. E-Z P-Z. No extra hoops to jump through.

    After switching to Netbird, I’ll be able to get completely off of GitHub.

    1. Dental Support Organizations (DSOs) (orgs that dentists use to help them with the business side of things) treat dentists more like sales people and push more expensive and unnecessary procedures.

    2. Dental insurance doesn’t work like health insurance, it’s more like a discount coupon for the dentist and the limits for coverage are really low.
