"Storing 1000 pictures in your phone gallery consumes as much energy as charging 8 phones"I'm afraid that's not how it works, I'm sorry but this is BS.

@realercatgirl@wetdry.world Eeh... I mean, they don't increase their prices every 6 months like Telefonica does. And they rarely have issues, and when they do, they usually fix them relatively quickly (usually one morning). And the connection and speeds are good, so... yeah, not too bad.But this article is BS.

@enigmatico Ehh, writing to NAND flash does take a bit of energy, as to write, (relatively) high voltages are required (as handled by a charge pump), but the working voltages are pretty small and the energy required to read is far less.Assuming that very unoptimized proprietary software is used that saves the images byte-by-byte, I'm thinking that ⅛ to ¼ of the battery would be drained by the time the 1000th photo was saved on any recent tracking device.The actual amount of electricity stored in the battery is negligible even so - charging a tracking device every day for a year ends up costing ~$5 in electricity if I remember correctly.

@realercatgirl You can change the router DNS just fine on this: https://librecmc.org/You often can just tell the ISP you're using your own router, or use bridging, or to use double NAT in the worst case (best avoided, but sometimes it's necessary to have routing freedom).

And you're already in a multi layer NAT by default with these dogshit providers, free software that relies on p2p doesn't work.

@sallyNULL >ISPs do not like to disclose PPPoE credentialsI haven't run into this yet myself, but nowadays I would probably go and crack that router open and see if I can find a UART header to access a command line, or if that fails, dump the NAND with a NAND dumper and then look for the credentials.I've found that NAT hole punching nowadays barely works for p2p provided other hosts aren't NATed (i.e. at least one other client is binded to a port-forwarded port).Really, we've needed IPv6 since 30 years ago, but noooo.
