apropos of nothing, this crossed my feed just now
America summed up in one poster.

Did @dustinfinn just reach #9 on the @WiGLEnet big board of fame?

You bet he did!

Closing in on the 6MM mark. Amazing!

@Peacefulz

I am unaware of briar, not sure I am interested in another client to chase friends to use...

just had this off sides request to check on signal instllations and realized that it has to be disk encryption or nothing ... kinda annoyed.

@Peacefulz

right - this is why I still cannot recommend it...

I've been trying to look at alternative encryption methods for just folders or such - but nothing is clean or works nicely.

Is there an easy / documented way to secure @signalapp
messages stored locally on a Windows/Mac desktop environment without the OS Encryption?

Are there methods that force the app itself to encrypt and decrypt anything stored locally ?

Signal Capture Moves...

have to break this down and separate some of the effort.

The mix of P25 Trunk Recording, Amateur Radio Repeater Monitoring and the other EMS/Fire broadcasts are getting separated from the Kismet Wires ISM Band Moniotoring (315,915,433 etc) to its own set of antenna and splitters...

Current Setup will be split into two...

@gumnos

WAIT, did Win2k seriously put the windows logo in the bin??

How did I miss that?

@rl_dane @gumnos shoot, I missed that too until I read your toot
@rl_dane @gumnos nope, there was no windows logo in the trash. Looks like that one was taken from https://www.deviantart.com/glestheartist/art/Windows-Recycled-icons-74520434
Windows Recycled icons by gLesTheArtist on DeviantArt

@rl_dane @gumnos I don't think that's the original full recycle bin icon, but a modified one.

@rl_dane @gumnos I stood up a Windows 2000 Workstation VM and here are the screenshots of an empty and a full Recycle Bin

@qlp @gumnos

Win2k was so clean. I remember seeing the mouse cursor shadow for the first time and thinking that was the coolest thing, ever.

@rl_dane @gumnos Same for me. The rich higher-color icons were also a nice compared to the flat Windows 95/NT 4 icons (I know 98 or 98 SE or the Plus packs had better looking icons, but I didn't really use them).

I also have to say that Tahoma was a really good UI font. It still looks nice and fairly modern today.

Back when I was using FreeBSD with window maangers and apps that supported TrueType (I know, that really dates me), I copied the Tahoma fonts over and used them. Today, IBM Plex Sans is what I use instead (Inter and Adwaita Sans are both nice, but a little too sterile for me).

@rl_dane I'm not a Windows guy, but agree that things peaked with Win2k ☺

*edit: s/thinks/things/ derp* πŸ€ͺ

I think it is an icon and represents an unknown filetype; that is, a file of an unknown type was send to the recycle bin, and the system represents it with the windows logo.

@beckermatic

Yeah, I think @pcyx tracked down the source of this modified icon:

@gumnos Right...

Tomorrow...

... I'm group policy-ing an icon change

@gumnos Someone needs to add Copilot to the set.
@gumnos The 2006 icon is the nicest one.
@gumnos
I really laughed out loud.
@gumnos The sickest burn doesn't exiβ€”

@gumnos I'm one of the dorks who liked Teams and recognized it was way better than the crap we were using at work at the time.

Then Microsoft has been randomly fiddling with shit and bolting on more "functionality" at a ridiculous pace.

It really doesn't need to do everything. I don't need Outlook and Outlook Jr.
