They had insurance from multiple providers, so same car insured from a few different companies.

Detectives found two additional claims and with two different insurance companies for the four with the same date of loss and at the same location.

I really enjoy quite a bit of the Guardians coverage. Their staff editorial department is often infuriating to the point I often wonder if they actually work for a different news agency.

I don’t think there is a middle ground between a VPN and Tor.

As much as I don’t like Brave this seems like a good feature. There do seem to be some problems with it leaking in some circumstances though.

For the curious, Brave page about private windows with Tor Here

Interesting, I have never seen those before. Thanks

I don’t know what kind of sharpener you are talking about. I use regular whetstones. I have some diamond stones that were a gift, they only get used on cold chisels and knives from the flea market to re profile them.

I had a partner who loved Victorinox, we are not together any longer so I don’t have to sharpen them. As I said, they are uncomfortable in my hands, and I find the steel sub par. A Zebra is usually 1/4 the price and better quality.

And getting more press about privacy related things, and why they’re important is always good to see.

It also let’s you install a fake icon for some normal looking app like Threema. When you tap the app it factory resets the phone.

It takes practice, but isn’t hard to learn. You can do it. I find it very satisfying and relaxing. Using a steel often will mean your knives need to be sharpened less frequently too.

That should sharpen quite easily. It is towards the softer side of stainless (inox) steels, I very much like them. They are easy to work with, durable, don’t discolor vegetables.

Reddit ain’t going anywhere fast.

If r/selfhosted has to rely on reddit as it can’t be fucked selfhosting, what chance do other subs have.

I have found Lemmy selfhosted communities excellent, they are not a large as Reddit but there are plenty knowledgeable people, often seflhosting their own little reddit.

Zebra brand can often be found in Asian markets.

I am unfamiliar with IVO, they look similar, though I could not find what type of steel they use.

I meant their regular knives, not serrated ones. I sharpen all my knives and straight razors as well. I find Victorinox difficult.

Serrated bread knives are usually only sharpened on one side, the other side is flat. You can do what is called ‘back sharpening’ where you lightly sharpen the flat side.

In any case when someone wants an inexpensive knife recommendation I say the Thai Zebra brand, much cheaper and better quality.

The ones with the Fibrox handles I find very uncomfortable, they do not fit my hand at all. Not so much of an issue with a bread knife, but I really don’t like sharpening their blend of steel.

This article is based on a report from the Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/china-hypersonic-flights-speed-concorde-b2051192.html nowhere does it say they have completed a test flight.

The brand Space Transportation, also known as the company Beijing Lingkong Tianxing Technology, has released an animated video which shows how its proposed “space flights” might look

There is Open Contacts which also acts as a dialer if you want it too. It creates its own database which could be useful if you don’t want other apps to have your contacts.

It works fine, I use that or Koler

Ah thanks, I was unaware. I just have the DivestOS repo enabled in Droid-ify

Mull is working fine for me on 132

New communities pop up, and older ones that didn’t have many posts sometimes get revived. So if I have the time and inclination I look at All after my Subscribed.

They actually did that with the SimplePhone. Last time I looked the pages were down but I know I archived them on the wayback machine.

They made lots of promises, including that a downloadable ROM would be available, the whole thing quickly crashed and burned.

Reddit had some pretty extensive threads about it. The whole thing seemed like a grift (it was) and convinced me to dump all their apps.

Anyway, if this is something you want to do you could check those threads, I know people linked to the phone they were using (from Alibaba) and the source code was on Codeberg iirc.

For me SimpleX does everything I need. Unified push would be nice, and would address battery usage. I don’t need or want message sync, so that’s not an issue.

They all have tradeoffs, so it’s just a matter of your priorities. For instance I’m OK with the higher battery drain because it’s not using Google.
