  • Well, I did. And I am in one. Most teachers don’t care about it. Technically the current principal banned them, but only one teacher told us, and it was a pretty sarcastic “I am supposed to tell you that you aren’t allowed to use phones during classes anymore.”

    Anyway, they got partially integrated. There’s an online school system we are supposed to use, and teachers often send us study materials there, including during classes. At one point we even took online exams (physically at school) and most used phones for that too (I prefer a desktop if I can use that).
    Basically it became an expectation. “Look this up, take a picture of this, open what I sent you, send me this, confirm that,…”

    But yeah, anyway, most exams are probably AI-written nowadays. This is known, and not particularly discouraged. Well, one teacher even told us we’ll be given computers with internet access on (part of the) graduation exams, and shown us how we can just copy-paste it to and from ChatGPT. And that was true.
    But hey, we also often have classes of absolutely nothing that you just have to wait out.
    The level of Slovakian education is setting the bar so low it clipped through the ground.








  • I have a MiBand which for me is primarily a regular watch with notifications.

    I haven’t used audio notifications or ringing on my phone for years. I can also just allow the most important apps, while the less important notifications I’ll see just on my phone when I unlock it, unless I blocked those notifications too.

    Currently this means I get SMS notifications (mostly useful for verification codes / package pick-up codes), Lemmy reply notifications (and few other e-mails), bank notifications (like payments), phone battery charged (80%) notification, and notifications of upcoming space rocket launches with webcast available (within 10 minutes).

    My phone doesn’t make a sound, it doesn’t light up the screen, it doesn’t show notifications on lockscreen, it doesn’t vibrate, it doesn’t use notification LED. The smartband is a replacement.




  • Better question is what 4 letter words I can even remember. Let’s see…

    fuck, lock, cock, yiff, bear, fair, mare, fare, Mars, SARS, cars, arse, bars, tree, pine, mine, dime, fine, lime, blue, moon, soon, tone, moan, loan, lawn, down, fawn, leek, meme, joke, yolk, dick, lick, sick, tick, kick, ball, mall, fall, chip, ship, spin, meat, meet, porn, corn, horn, burn, role, play, star, trek, mono, long, song, dong, monk, duck, luck, suck, rack, deck, card, nano, pico, mini, cake, sake, lake, aqua, cyan, Arch, lore, vore, fart, dart, mart, sour, hour, four,…

    There’s probably a website for that, what am I doing. I’ll go with Mars Arch.

    Interesting how my brain picks the words.

    Edit: Removed duplicate word

    Edit 2: Remembered a better candidate





  • Just like 3 weeks ago I started using Tailscale. I’d highly recommend trying that.

    It does some uuuuh… magic to establish direct connections on most networks. You can verify whether you’re using direct connection or relay using tailscale status on Linux.

    It uses Wireguard under the hood. There’s also Tailnet lock feature (still in beta) in case you don’t trust Tailscale to not maliciously add devices to your Tailnet.

    This would give you lower latency than the VPS solution. I use it with CG-NAT on both sides. I also started using it for LAN since it establishes direct connection over LAN too, and seamlessly switches between networks so I can disconnect from LAN and keep current connections going over WAN or vice versa.

    But I’ve just tried now, and it won’t work even on LAN without internet access. Still better than a VPS solution in some way.

    But you may also try looking into headscale which is basically a lightweight self-hosted private Tailscale control server, but I haven’t tried anything with that.
