  • I assume the problem is hardware. Matt’s hardware didn’t work well with LM, therefore Matt thinks LM sucks… I do wish there was better hardware support but it’s the reason apple went with 1 product = 1 OS = 1 general set of hardware. Sure not every iPhone has the same hardware, but that’s why they have the model numbers, and it’s so much easier to test 200 model mixes than 2,000,000 (Android). Windows gets all the debug info sent directly to them like the others but they also have a huge stack of hardware they can use or they can buy it to test.




  • Do a lot of reading. Get a cyber informations systems basics overview on your own self-teaching before you try to understand it all.

    Stay away from session and matrix. Signal, Nostr, SimpleX (nvm if you use Apple products) and the like are okay, but they are all hobbyist influencable products besides Signal which gets fat government grants and just happens to use the same encryption standards as all other huge name E2EE tools.

    Stuff is fun to learn on, but get a good VPN (debates about… mullvad, ivpn, cryptostorm seem okay). here’s something fun for you and free: https://www.thc.org/segfault/


  • Then maybe you’re okay.

    A number of people can see your IP, people will chime in and add to ane remove from this list:

    Can’t see it:

    • Random people you personal message with
    • Random people you chat with in rooms

    CAN see it:

    • Server admins
    • People you share (send/rcv files with) // this may have been fixed
    • People who send you links and you click them, but this isn’t specific to Matrix, it’s a tale as old as time.
    • You voice call with someone (may have been fixed)

    Some info may be wrong. But having someone’s IP in the days of routers and all filtered ports means little, unless you piss off someone who knows some low level customer support person @ your ISP to pay to get your account info. Or you’re dealing drugs in which case use TAILS and stop fucking with technologies you don’t know the specifics of.

    If they knock you offline and you can’t access anything at all, unplug your router AND MODEM (most importantly your modem) for an hour. Go touch grass for an hour. Widdle a wee branch. Plus your boxes back in and you’ll be bright as new.

    @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip this isn’t meant to be a dig at you, although last time you didn’t care to correct or learn if I recall,but often times you leave out the “if so,” “possibly, what and XYZ?'” and it ends up spreading misinformation because you didn’t know enough or care enough to type enough.

    I love Matrix but we need to be open about what the fish is before skinning it…

    Just to confirm the obvious. Downvotes are expected but OP you should read this.

    They are close enough to see that they are quad copters, and they make a buzzing noise, correct?

    There have been a lot of UAP flaps where the objects (not quad copter looking) will fly low over the countryside, just above the tree-lines to much higher. They usually make no noise aside from reports of static or screeching or electronic interference.

    Unlikely to be the case but if so, report to your countries MUFON type department and get as much evidence (video with sound, drawings, time and date, etc) as you can.

    There is something else out there, whether it’s military black projects mapping areas or what have you, and it needs to be documented.

    If it is for sure quad copter drones, you can get a device to blast the 2.4Ghz spectrum for a short time and make them ‘phone home’ and the operators will stop flying them over your property once they realize something wrong keeps happening when they do. Legality varies.

    Many tutorials available to DIY. You can also buy them pre-built, just more expensive.



  • While that’s strange in your case (aren’t chanterelles one of the guys you have to cook very thoroughly or they’re neuro/cardiotoxic?) they’ve been monitoring the air for particulate and haven’t found anything dangerous, but it wouldn’t hurt to shoot an email off to a funguy-ologist in the region to see if they think it has merit, and can contact the relevant authorities if that’s the case. Then you win the ego game if it turns out that’s what it was.


  • I didn’t agree with their decision at all at the time, but now that I realize they made it a little while after it gained widespread adoption and people stopped using it because “Signal isn’t actually secure!” … seems like people were expecting a secure messenger to be, well, secure. So they would chat about anything and everything thinking “I am using a secure messenger, these messages can’t be read…” and tech ignorance is a dangerous thing if you’re trying to be secure. I would’ve preferred a colored window and un-closable message for SMS chats, but oh well. I like that they’ve introduced usernames so you don’t have to give out your real number.
