We've opened a piefed instance too - early days yet though: piefed.zip

If anything like how they were before - dead easy. I had one for my old HTC Hero that was just a chunky ass battery with a bigger back to suit. Wouldn't put it past a manufacturer now to make it difficult on purpose though.

You can get 'charging cases' that are loaded with an extra battery, cover the phone, and plug into its charging port as a workaround for sealed devices. There's usually a button that switches the case on and starts charging the internal battery from the external one.

Healthy? Probably not.

Functional workaround? Absolutely.

We shoulder-surfed a tech back in the 90s when he was getting us set up. Thus, the "HAHA FREE" dialup connection was born.

Gave years of service to our old beige box.

Whatever way you go for setting up the systems themselves, I've found dwservice.net to be perfect for accessing systems with only a browser.

The host component is Mac, Windows and Linux compatible. The clients need only an account at DW. Hosts tied to your own account can be shared with others.

Depending on host OS, you get screen, terminal and fire transfer access. Sessions are logged if you need to review who's accessed what.

Free. Donation optional.

Hope the move goes smoothly & you get some peace.

Not a personal fan of segregated communities on either end of the scale, but I can see how it's a necessity in some places. Some people just can't live and let live.

Possibly because piefed has better mod tools. It's partially why piefed.zip exists too.

Very useful for that community.

I almost worried. Actually used my alt for all of 5 minutes 😂

Nicely done and welcome back all.

I condensed down from a power hungry tower server to a couple of thinkstations and a nas. Much nicer on the power.

Good luck 🤞

At the very least, backups have been fire-tested. We were back up and running within a day when one of the recent upgrades went all to shit.

I have a non-zip alt that sits idle and hopefully will stay idle :)

I ended up being lazy and just running it as a Homeassistant add-on, but end result is the same.
