  • Most of the phones suck. Jolla 1 was great back in the day. From the “current gen” of phones, Xperia 10 III got great eventually (using an unofficial trick), no other recent official phone is daily drivable.

    If it wasn’t for their last Jolla branded phone being a fucking disaster, I’d be buying this in a heartbeat.

    But I’ll probably wait for the first reviews instead. Also how they didn’t ever deliver a portion of the tablets nor did they refund them doesn’t really leave me trusting in preorders.

    The OS is great, though. If you can get a Xperia 10 III in a good condition, go for it!












  • I do believe that. More often than not, people believe what they want the truth to be, not what the actual truth is.

    This person obviously falls for propaganda quite a bit. And the right spends a lot of time painting the left as an evil force that hates them and wants to destroy them and their children. So even if Trump is not as pristine as she’d wish, still better than the left who literally wants to destroy her children and force them to be trans (or whatever the current narrative is).

    I’m not saying the vile racists are not a significant portion of their voters, I’m just saying that these well meaning but severely misguided people are a huge portion of their voters as well.

    And by lumping them together you’re basically forcing them to adopt the extreme views so that they belong somewhere. And that’s how you create more extremists, because you tell them “either you’re with us or with them.” And with the (wrong) information they have, they can never choose you.

    I’m not saying to tolerate intolerance, but ask any psychologist how successful can you be in forcing people to change their view. You have to guide them so that they discover the answer alone. And unlike the really bigotted people, people like her can be guided.

    What’s gluetun? Seems like it’s a VPN client? What’s special about it?

    Gluetun can connect to multitude of VPNs, but most importantly it can be used to force other containers to use only the gluetun network, meaning if you disconnect from VPN for whatever reason, the other containers don’t suddenly send data over non-VPN network.

    So if you’re torrenting and use gluetun to provide internet to the qBittorrent container, you won’t accidentally reveal your real IP if your provider’s server goes down for a few seconds.

    How do you use it in your setup?

    Configure it to connect to my VPN, create a file with the public port it uses, configure qBittorrent to only use gluetun for network and some script which reads the file with public port and changes it in qBittorrent.

    Do I need to know about this if I use Tailscale on the host for connecting to my VPN?

    Depends. I like having everything container related in the containers. Sometimes I need to do something without VPN, this would limit me. Also, if you don’t configure disconnect on VPN connection loss in a different way (interface binding), you risk revealing your IP.

    Would gluetun allow me to use an additional VPN provider for certain apps without messing with the host Tailscale?

    Yes. Though you would be double VPNed: App -> gluetun -> host VPN -> target server. That would probably add some latency.
