I run a Matrix server for our family. I use “FluffyChat” on my phone. Traffic from the phone to my Matrix server is allowed and chatting in FluffyChat works.
But I don’t get any notifications anymore on new messages.
So, what’s going on here? Does FluffyChat, which only really needs to talk to my own server, rely on some cloud service *for notifications*? Seriously? 🤔 How does that work, does this cloud service see all my notifications or what?
Anyone around who did app development on Android? Can you shed some light on this?

We also not only have the USA’s GPS these days but also other satellite systems like the EU’s Galileo or Russia’s Glonass. A-GPS helps you get “in contact” quickly with *more* satellites, which enhances the precision quite a lot.
So, yeah, you *can* use it without A-GPS. But it would be very annoying and imprecise. I bought a new phone last year and A-GPS was broken on that one (I saw no internet traffic at all), which made it basically useless, to the point where I wouldn’t want to use it at all. I sent it back and bought another model.
To my knowledge, the only way to use GPS without something like A-GPS is to have it turned on all the time, so you get regular updates directly from the satellites.

The data for assisted GPS does not come from *Google* or, better yet, *A PUBLIC SERVICE*, but from a server hosted by the *hardware manufacturer*. Without regularly fetching fresh A-GPS data, the GPS performance is *much* worse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GNSS).
This means that the hardware manufacturer has (more or less) direct control over whether I’m able to use GPS or not. This isn’t an Android setting, it’s buried deep within the device, no way to change the URL. If that manufacturer decides one day to cut me off, for whatever reason, or goes bankrupt or whatever, then I’ll have to buy a new phone.
And of course, this data transfer is encrypted as well, so I don’t know what my phone sends to those servers.
All this smartphone business is such a clusterfuck. I should have never bought one of those things.

I took the opportunity to remove some dependencies on the internet from my workflow. Actually, outages like these are healthy.

What happened so far:
- Internet outage since early in the morning. Still going on.
- Unable to reach a human being at my ISP, so I hope they mean it when the computer voice says "we know it, we're on it". 🤣
- systemd (PID 1) crashed. Might be partially my fault, but meh.
I take this as a sign to not do any computer stuff today. 🤣

Copying data from the NAS’s encrypted ZFS pool to the USB disk’s encrypted btrfs runs at ~20 MByte/s. That is for a single 1 GB file of random data. Cold caches,
sync
included.That same USB disk with the same btrfs can sustain ~75 MByte/s when I use it on my workstation (i7-3770).
And indeed, the
aes
flag does not show up in the output of lscpu
on the NAS.I’ll try to tweak some things about this, but it might be time for an upgrade … 🫤 (Or I’ll have to re-think the entire thing somehow.)

Now that I think about it … I only remember *one* PC of mine actually dying because of a hardware failure – and that was probably because I did too much overclocking. 😂 If it wasn’t for changes in *software*, I could probably still use them all. I mean, why not, my Pentium 133 still works and I use it for gaming regularly.
So … my little NAS probably won’t die any time soon. Hmmm.

Let’s see how it goes next time. I don’t expect to add much data any time soon. (On the other hand, I’ll swap the USB disks for the next run, so it’ll take the same ~9 hours, again. Meh.)
I think the solution is to have less data. 😈~
