It's wild but apparently works in even Canada. -

silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Nov-2024 11:07:49 JST silverwizard @djsundog Yeah, I basically said that I didn't know what smart meant, because there's lots of ways someone can be smart, and that we're mostly different.
But he's insistent smart means number of facts known.
But honestly, the part that tripped me up as Andre the Giant

But right now he's on a tablet, exploring freely. All the games, the shows, and the audiobooks are safe, some are old, some are new. But he's able to be safe and happy. -

silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Nov-2024 04:33:44 JST silverwizard @neil Yeah, saved the dying system, but I just can't considered it good, and am constantly surprised others do. (I'm not trying to tell you to hate it, but ya know, strong opinions, internet) -

silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Nov-2024 04:15:37 JST silverwizard @neil I constantly feel like LE was vandalism against the security of the internet. Just keeping the incredibly dangerous and bad CA system around on life support and removing all the energy that had been built by the Verisign hack to replace it. -

silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Monday, 18-Nov-2024 22:50:31 JST silverwizard @julian It was a little thorny to setup, but it probably would be pretty simple! F-Droid is pretty friendly.
apt-get install fdroid server
fdroid init
fdroid update --create-keys
put apks in the repo folder
fdroid update -c
fdroid updatethen point a webserver at the repo dir.
not saying that *anyone* can do that - but it's well within the ability to make an ansible playbook for!
But yeah - letting my 5yo install and remove apps gives him power without exposing him to the wider internet

silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Monday, 18-Nov-2024 21:50:30 JST silverwizard @Alonely0 Well no, I can verify the identity with my eyes. I can read a fingerprint. But it means I need to deploy a trusted CA to devices like my unrooted tablets that wont let me choose the trustroot, or my babysitter's iPhone. Not being able to verify myself is bad. -

silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Monday, 18-Nov-2024 21:50:14 JST silverwizard @growse I tried but they're Fire tablets, when I bought them I thought they were Karnaks which have been pwned but they're Onyxs, so they are in a no-internet subnet and the appstore runs locally, so they have apps and stuff but no internet! -

silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Monday, 18-Nov-2024 09:34:38 JST silverwizard Built an F-Droid repo for my kids inside our local network. Added games and basic apps, let the kid tablets work without unfettered internet.
F Droid wont let me use a self signed cert because, I guess, the CA system is good
