Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is there a well-supported secondary SMS phone number service?
2·8 months agoAh, ok… I used to use usmobile.com as a data backup on their cheapest plan. It was ~$8 USD for 2Gb of data and like 100 texts per month. Obv a lot more than voip.ms, but you get assigned a real number by a cell provider. U.S. based though so it might not be useful for you.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is there a well-supported secondary SMS phone number service?
5·8 months agoIf it matters, I believe “voip.ms” is Canada based. I’m using them for a phone number with sms, kind of like what you said you’re looking for.
IIRC, I’m paying ~$12 USD per year (+ $1 USD per month for a phone voip app, but there are free app options too).
YSK, their site/service setting aren’t always the easiest to figure out so read their docs carefully.
Best of luck!

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Wireguard Docker-Compose Not Making ConfigEnglish
2·11 months agoI’m not a docker pro, so I may be wrong…
It looks to me like your syntax is formatted as if you’re assigning an external bind mount, not a volume.
IIRC, volume mounts are
<name>:<path_inside_container>, and docker will automatically pre-pend the service name to the vol name (e. g./opt/docker/volumes/wireguard-<name>)So, you could try something like:
volumes: - wireguard-server-config:/config - wireguard-modules:/lib/modulesref: https://docs.docker.com/engine/storage/volumes/#use-a-volume-with-docker-compose
If I can offer an alternate perspective…
By making such concrete plans you may be ceding too much “control” to someone who you don’t yet know will have the same reliance on solid planning or respect for other’s time as you do.
So, if that’s the case, what can you do about it?
Plan differently.
Plan a one hour “date with yourself” that also works for you + a date.
Example: Make a plan to meet at a coffee shop or cheap bistro near a park… but bring a book/kindle/podcast/homework, or whatever you’d otherwise do on your own.
If they show, cool, you now have topics to discuss. If things are going well, continue over a walk in the park.
If they flake, cool, you’ve now got a solid hour to do something you enjoy, in a (hopefully) interesting place, and you’ve done it for cheap… Maybe take yourself on a walk in the park. :)
Hope that helps a bit.

Windows@sopuli.xyz•New Wi-Fi Takeover Attack—All Windows Users Warned To Update Now
0·1 year agoAgreed.
The exploit was discovered by a security research firm who did the right thing and reported it to the SW creator, giving them the opportunity to distribute a patch.
Since it hasn’t yet been reported as being exploited “in the wild” publishing details on how to perform the exploit would be at best negligent, and worst carelessly malicious.

Technology@lemmy.world•United Airlines passengers to see targeted ads on seat-back screensEnglish
60·1 year ago…that will now reflect the information United has compiled on individual travelers, like where they live and destinations they’ve traveled to.
I, for one, can’t wait to have my personal info proudly displayed to whatever randos they seat next to me! /s
I ran into the same with the “D1 Mini”. The few cases available were expensive for what they were and not a great fit for my needs.
If you have access to a 3D printer, there are some pretty good models on thingiverse and printables. But YMMV depending on which board you’re using.
Another possiblity… I wanted to permanently put one in my car, so having some basic protection with the least amount of bulk was important. I ended up buying some shrink tube large enough to go around the entire board (IIRC it was 40mm, 2:1 shrink ratio), got everything wired up, slid the tubing over and shrunk it down. Could probably “double wrap” for more complete coverage. Again, this is board dependent and worked well for the D1 since it doesn’t have pre-soldered pins.
Cheers!



Thx for this.
