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"

The most annoying thing about tech, is when you tell someone it works like "this" and they come back with, "that is not how it works", but you prove them wrong again and again and again, yet they don't want to hear it.

For example, if I change my IP with T-Mobile Home Internet, depending on which IP I am assigned will determine my connection speed, latency, and general connectivity.

Perhaps that is now how it is supposed to work, but that is how it is working. It has been working this way for a few years now.
