I'm not using the contactless payment feature and get the same crash and error.


The app can still be used too but requires the per-app secure spawning toggle with recent app versions. It's due to PayPal shipping buggy anti-tampering code.


Funnily koreader comes with a lot of features that are useless to me, but I love that I can just disable the respective plugins.


For most app ads it's enough to set a DoT or DoH in the system that blocks ad domains. Android supports this with a settings menu entry, on Apple one needs a more "technical" solution I think (loading some XML?). Most VPN apps also support DNS enforcement.

Apps like YouTube are an exception, but there are other ways around that on Android.


> YouTube... Ways around that on Android

Have DoH/DoT enabled as you mention, then open brave, go to YouTube.com

Apps that don't work don't fail due to technical reasons but because upstream says so, i.e. Google Wallet. My banking app works just fine.

Yes.

GOS doesn't support root by itself since they deem it a security risk, but it's possible.


AFAIK you can verify the integrity of an existing GrapheneOS installation.



What app are you using?


It's just called WireGuard, by the "WireGuard Development Team" off google play.


Pretty sure thats the c implementation not the go one


AFAIK the C implementation is a kernel module that's not shipped in stock Android releases. The WireGuard Android app uses that module when available, but otherwise uses wireguard-go.


Good knowledge here, was unaware of this feature of the app. Would there be any case of the app defaulting to the wireguard kernel module if it's not included by any OEM Android release? I would assume that means most users are actually running wireguard-go.


I hope so.


Let's be honest, if we are talking about UX for the average user the koreader UI has a long way to go in general.


Yeah they could take some lessons from Plato. However, koreader works on everything. Android, Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook etc. Not just on Kobo like Plato does.

It took me some getting used to but it's not bad IMO. It's more that its conventions are a bit different from the commercial readers but that's not a bad thing.


Koreader is pretty intimidating at first but once you dig into its features and know what's going on, it's pretty easy to navigate into the menus. It require some time to invest at first, but after that it's really "set and forget" with some lovely features and power to customise absolutely everything. I love the statistics wallpaper that shows you how much you read previous 7 days, per day, and the fact that you can set every book parameter as default, making every epubs looking the same, something I've never been able to achieve with stock Kobo, where I absolutely hated beginning a new book and discover huge fonts, weird margins, and tiny line-spacing, that I had to set again.


I just installed it on my Kindle Oasis. No way to just replicate the Kindle view of all my books in a list regardless of directory, and the real killer was that it doesn't invert page turn buttons when the display is rotated. PRs welcome, I'm sure, but I had to give up on it.


Why does everything have to be a business model?


Unless the author is insanely rich, they probably don't want to spend increasingly large amounts on hosting unless they have a way to make money back (even if it's just to break even).


I am not rich and I don't need to be to keep this service up and running at least for the near future.


To keep this up and running for 2-3 years, you probably do need to be rich, or to find a way to monetize.

It's possible when it gets to be a drain, even charging pennies for the service could drive off the bad actors making it unsustainable though.


For the foreseeable future and unless there is massive abuse, which I am trying to contain, it will remain free.

Wouldn't such a gate imply that an unlimited amount of entities would arrive at the time of the gate?


You can only use it once before it closes.

e.g. the machine is a big box. You can "start" the machine once and "end" it once. When you "start" the machine it instantaneously teleports everything inside it from when you "end" the machine.

If you "start" the machine and break it before "end"ing it, nothing gets sent through, or there's a giant explosion, or the universe collapses, etc.

Alternatively, you can "receive" and "send" any number of times on the machine. But every time you "receive" you get a unique ID, and you can only "send" to that ID once.


Doesn't any scenario of time travel imply an unlimited amount of entities?

If you go back in time to observe (but not interfere with) your younger self, your younger self will get old and go back to that exact time too. So there will be an infinite number of your old selves observing your younger self.

Not to mention that travelling back also means adding matter to the universe.


more or less how time travel in _Looper_ worked, iirc


> but not interfere with

...and how would you actually do that if we assume that your travel has added matter to the universe, rather than completed an iteration of a time loop that was happening there already?


Yeah, "interfering with" is open to interpretation. One might argue that you don't have to say "hi" to yourself to interfere with, and it is sufficient to be within the same light cone.


Exactly. If nobody comes, that means the world ended before anybody could use it.

Or it takes a lot of energy or resources and you can send one person every few hundred years, severely limiting the flow of people.
