What I did was implement a SIP number that asks for a random digit to be pressed before allowing the call through. It also connects to my CardDAV server, and any numbers in my addr…

Almost, as someone who used to work with telecom systems in Canada, while it is true that felony wiretapping requires 1 party to consent to not be illegal, it is not the only law. …

At least with Samba you can use the "veto files" and "delete veto files" global directives to deal with those, I personally use the following for veto files: /._*/.AppleDB/.AppleDo…

Tearing and hidpi is why I left Linux for Windows between 2012 ans 2022. Once wayland was good enough I returned. Tearing is awful, and should be opt in (which wayland provides), n…

No, that's every bit of software out there. Dynamic linking really does cause that problem even though allegedly it has security benefits as the vendor is able to patch software vu…

I know you are trying to make a point about complexity, but that is literally what NixOS allows for.

There is always the analog hole. Even HDCP can be worked around. Even if they do manage to stop all computers from doing direct bit copies, there are still old things such as Kines…

When you benchmarked Postgres did you disable WAL for the cache table? That may minimize the difference.

That isn't the same as vendor-izing unless you are committing node_modules to your VCS, which would be insane.

Golang at least gives you the option to easily vendor-ize packages to your local repository. Given what has happened here, maybe we should start doing this more!

Absolute lies, where I live it is one party consent. I can still record with another device on speakerphone.

No, you are putting words into my mouth. Try to argue in good faith through understanding the other party's viewpoint before responding. I don't see much difference between killing…

You could not be more wrong. Kde is the last vestige of interfaces are powerful, pretty, and that don't their users like idiots. You have your GNOME and simmilar ilk, be content wi…

Their anti-DRM stance is arguably their only compelling feature as opposed to just buying steam. I remember the old game launcher that was called Desura?, which a lot of those thir…

I would assert that iChat evolved into messages. There are a few more icons that could be added in that category.

Can't wait until MacOS 95 (then Mac OS XP of course). I can only imagine the discourse if this happened 25 years ago.

It is bad form to engage in victim blaming. While yes, Unity has been pretty bad for a while, lots of times there is already a lot of development work sunk into existing programs. …

I assume your in the Netherlands? Hoi! How is the tech industry there, does it pay decently, and how difficult is it for someone overseas to apply?

Agreed, the only thing that is certain is that they are cheating themselves. While it can be useful to use LLMs as a tutor if you're stuck. The moment that you use it to provide a …

Elbows up, Canada.

Yes, it would stop somebody's key from working, and that's the entire point, because most key fobs work on rolling ciphers, and if you block one, you can reuse it. Typically the fo…

Looks very nice, however it doesn't seem to support subsonic yet, which means no Android Auto integration through Ultrasonic. I'm going to keep watch on this, there aren't many mus…

There was employee communication that expressed it being odd to use a torrent client on company computers. [1] [1] https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/tech-news/whe...
