How should I spend time with my grandma before she dies? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Hello Lemmy. I have completed my bachelor’s degree and will start a master’s program in April. This means that I am lucky to have a lot of free time in the next few months. I want to take this opportunity to spend time with my grandma, because she is very old and I probably won’t have that chance again. My question is, how would you spend time with your grandma if she was still alive or you had the necessary time?

Any experience with SIM7600G-H 4G Dongle? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across this little device: https://www.waveshare.com/sim7600g-h-4g-dongle.htm. According to its documentation, it is able to write SMS, provide mobile internet, and allow making phone calls (which is quite rare). Does anyone have any experience with this device? And if yes, does it just work with Linux applications like gnome-calls (I know that this issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls/-/issues/680 exists, but it is basically inactive)?

My goal would be to replace my phone entirely. Currently, I only need my phone for Signal as a primary device as well as for basic smartphone stuff, such as SMS, mobile internet, and calls.

I am trying to reduce my dependency on phones/android since years and try to use Linux (NixOS) for everything and I would say I've been quite successfully. The only application that is holding me back from abandoning phones entirely at this point is Signal, because it requires a primary device and only the official mobile apps are currently suited for this task. Flare looks promising, and the PR has already been merged, but it is not enabled by default due to other issues. For online banking, my bank supports SmartTAN that requires a scanner, but this allows me to do everything via a browser.

    What's your favourite OS that does not use systemd? in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world
    [–] 14 points 1 year ago

    I have to say as someone who uses NixOS I love systemd, because it makes a lot of things very easy. For example hardening services ( systemd-analyze security) or replacing cron (system timer).
