So, the phrase "we are so fucked" has been bandied around a lot lately but for me it just got worse. Numerous legal issues have arisen and to sort them out (not to mention get my tax return done) I need a more stable and faster internet connection, which my mobile internet isn't when its paltry 5GB allowance is drained like it is now.

Can #fedihelp #mutualaid stretch to helping me upgrade my data plan for tackling these and other things without waiting forever for my browser to just time out? I really don't want to end up in jail or fined over a late tax return and a misunderstood insurance policy.

Oddly, Fedi usually works okay but websites really struggle on the throttled connection due to scripts.

If you have a Notebook with an embedded WWAN device (GSM/LTE/5G) and want to quickly send a SMS message, there is a way to do this with mmcli (ModemManager CLI):

1st: List the available modem devices:

$ mmcli list

2nd: Sent the SMS via an available modem (in my case moden no. 0):

$ mmcli -m 0 --messaging-create-sms="text='Hello world',number='+1XXXXXXXXXX"

Messaging | created sms: /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/7

3rd: Use the ID of the message and send it to the ether:

$ mmcli -m 0 --sms 7 --send
successfully sent the SMS

That's it. You can also read incoming SMS with mmcli by listing them with "mmcli -m 0 --messaging-list-sms" and then reading the invidual messages by their ID with "mmcli -m 0 --sms ID --send"

For a long time it was pretty easy to tell the difference between a general-purpose tablet and an eReader. Devices with E Ink displays like Kindle or Kobo products were meant for reading eBooks, while devices with full-color displays and high-refresh rates like iPads and Samsung Galaxy tablets were general-purpose devices.

But in recent years the line between those categories has gotten […]
