it just didn’t get as hot there because of the rainy weather

When the day starts, it will be very hot til around 12:00-13:00. between 14:00-16:00 when water vapor accumulates, it will rain heavily. But it happens randomly and regardless of the season as used to be.

As far as I can tell, this has happened in the last two or three years, I don’t know what season it is. And it gets worse, since this January there has been no rainy season or summer.

May I ask where you are? Is it a monsoon climate?

I live in SEA, around May-August it should be summer. November-March is the monsoon.

Not at all, at least where I live I don’t experience flooding. But I recognize that there are floods elsewhere in my country, especially in places very close to the equator.

I read somewhere it is predicted that there will be very wet season around the equator and it will last until December. This is very unusual for us, I realized people around me didn’t know this.

In SMTP/POP3 sessions never required that kind of information. Unless you’re using their apps like Google Mail or M$ Outlook, they might send those kind of information to their servers, but that’s outside from SMTP/POP3 sessions.

You should avoid using VPN with Google account, your Google account can get banned.

what are you trying to achieve by living off the grid here? escape from fascist regime? or AI apocalypse?

I live near equator, We should have a hot summer this June and temperatures around 27-34°C in May-August, but instead we got the rainy like season.

I don’t think they going to stop now. They even forced users to create Windows accounts in order to use Windows 11. They will also force Copilot to be installed on Windows 11.

Did we ever ask M$ for this AI spy tool? No.

That’s one of the reasons I use Linux as my daily driver. I’m not playing high end games, I only play old windows games from my childhood.

is there any benefit? unless you are the target of spy agencies. but I don’t think it’s worth it.

stay away from mainstream social media, better yet use custom ROMs and don’t install gapps. use system-wide adblockers or change your DNS in addition to ISP DNS.

remember, government agencies can always buy your data from data brokers.

if possible, don’t use M$ Windows, it sends telemetry to M$ server.

for example I use Linux as my daily driver, and I still use dnscrypt-proxy to avoid government censorship

In my opinion, EU needs to force PC/laptop and other hardware manufacturers to provide drivers for Linux. Without this step, it will make it harder for them to move away from M$ Windows.

We gonna fork him into isekai world!

thanks, that explains why some of my posts are also copied to other instances 🤔

I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it. Perhaps I will use it as network storage. it has an external SATA port, so I can add another storage.

At first I just wanted to learn arch-based Linux. But I found it easier to learn OMV, as it has a similar learning curve to Debian and Ubuntu-based distros.

suprisingly, we have more posts this week 👀

Two weeks ago I installed dual boot EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva on my potato Mini PC (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 500 GB HDD), but I haven’t gotten around to fiddling with it yet. 🙄

yep, in several countries including where I live. Several government institutions and state-owned companies have been using M$ Azure since 2 years ago.

I have several options here : OrangePI, used Android TV box, mini PC, thin-client and laptop.

currently just installed dual boot Linux on my old mini PC (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

just happened, a few days ago I installed dual boot of EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva replacing Windows 7, on my potato mini PC. (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)

Hardware support really sucks, as many hardware manufacturers only care about supporting M$ Windows.

There’s a way to force them to provide drivers for Linux, let’s say the trade commission in any country forces all devices to have drivers for Linux.

also having c/privacy in there is a bit conflicting, as most discussions about AI are not aligned with privacy.

I could tell from my POV, there is a need for foreign labor in Japan. It was even announced at the Japanese embassy (in my country) most of the labor needed to care for the elderly.

another example just a few months ago https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2025/02/59f0c75e44f4-indonesian-bus-driver-to-be-1st-to-work-under-new-japan-visa-status.html

You can also take a look at r/japanlife, most of them are foreigners from western countries.
