Long time lurker. Figured I'd join and contribute to discussions I have strong opinions about.

What is your process for automating this checksum twice a year? Does it give you a text file dump with the absolute paths of all files that fail checksum for inspection? How often does this failure happen for you?

Can't run various banking apps and can't run PagerDuty on a rooted device due to Google Play API Integrity Check. The ecosystem is closing in on any options to not send telemetry, and Google is leading the way in the restrictions on Freedom.

I ordered a pibox in February. When are they shipping?

Is your mail-in-a-box and Nextcloud totally separate? I know MiaB has an integrated Nextcloud, but their documentation says that they only support contacts / calendaring, so I'm hesitant to use it without fully documented support for all Nextcloud's features.

I found this through the Webcrate HN post and was looking to get more information on this organization. It sounds very similar to what Sandstorm was doing, I wonder if they are using Sandstorm as the base of their platform.

What hardware profile runs your true nas? I've been looking to build something open source rather than using Synology.

Since you are a long term nomad, I'm wondering what your solution is for Government documents (IRS, Driver License, Car Registration, Jury Duty notification, absentee voting, etc), bank statements (KYC regulations), and other things that need a real address, and not an personal mailbox service? I've had issues with using PO Boxes even with Street Addressing, but I'm not sure a UPS store box would fix those issues.

Services like EarthClassMail sound like it would fit the bill, but I'm wondering if whatever API's these SaaS services use to validate "true residential address" will eventually blocklist these services addresses.

Thanks!

Thanks for this, years ago when I was on the road and wanted to visit last minute and quickly searched for information on where to go and tours, I didn't find this gem. Really helpful to see they have a visitors center in Barstow.

Any information on how to visit? I tried visiting there as a spur of the moment thing when I was passing through Barstow. The military checkpoint personnel on the road to Goldstone were not happy and turned me away after a light questioning, checking driver license and license plate against databases, and visually inspecting the inside of the vehicle from outside with the windows down.
