  • I mostly use my dog as a way to introduce that I am near and mean no harm to anyone not expecting someone following the same path (mostly rather long streched bike&pedestrian roads with no exit but with park benches and geen patches for dogs and so on).

    Simply by saying “Dogs Name, are you coming sweety?”.

    Announces that I am nearby with a doggy and by no means any poser that wants to appear scary.

    At dark day times I mostly have a flashlight with me to shine on my dog and whatever she is currently sniffing (or sneakingly trying to eat…). Which has the sideeffect of her being better visible to others. (She’s a bigger dog with black fur - so some people would be scared of her anyhow. Especially in the dark if there is a barely visible big dog. Which is why I hope to make people not that uncomfortable by speaking softly and shining light on her. (And of couse because bicicle riders need to be able to see her, to not run her over))

    I know its a absolute wonky workaround but you could use a second phone and enable google speech input – or an FOSS alternative: FUTO Voice Input (Local LLM Model that works pretty great. Better than google imo. Is better finding the correct words and also putting logical punctiation. – as in when should a comma or dot appear.)

    Now you enable speech input on one phone and playback the voice message of the dude on the other end. Now you got all the text.


  • Get what you are trying to say but both are still encrypted. They simply aren’t end to end encrypted. So the messages are private. Until obviously the company servers get hacked or police raided and the keys to the encryption get stolen. You are protected against this in E2E encryption. True.

    Ii guess telegram once was the alternative to whatsapp, then made maany more featutes abailable in fast time paces which led to another bunch of migrators.

    Now noone wants to move away because why? For the usual end user there is no negative to them.

    I am fully on your side and am using signal and matrix and try to migrate as many people as possible but its hard.




  • Be aware though if you use DSL: the frequency of the Powerline devices will most likely match and disturb your (in most cases) unshielded two copper wires over wich your DSL Signal is transmitted

    Though this also depends wich DSL Variant you are using.

    For example Super Vectoring - 250k Down /40k Up will have troubles in most cases to uphold packetloss to a minimum.

    All of this is ment to be a thing with DSL Speeds over 100Mbit (at least in Germany).

    Source: I am an IT dude, had DSL Problems, Telekom Technichian was sent out and I talked to him about the causes and such.
