Update: Checking the kernel config indeed confirms this. adb shell zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API # CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH is not set # CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_…

I rewrote it quickly to C [1] (and changed the embedded binary to be aarch64). Unfortunately it fails on calling bind() on my device, so probalby Android doesn't ship with that ken…

A bit tangential, but in Poland we also had such traffic cameras with public access (it wasn't a live feed, but a snapshot updated every minute or so). It was provided by a company…

I don't know how much you have used Telegram, but it's ridden with absolutely vile stuff. You open the "Telegram nearby" feature anywhere and it's full of people selling drugs and …

Not OP, but have to use the cloud version of Jira and Confluence. My biggest complaint is that they put the "Yes! Send me news and offers from Atlassian about products, events, and…

Some gun calibers are measured with inches, so maybe they have some imperial markers on hand to measure bullet casings?

Probably one time use recovery codes you are supposed to print and keep in a safe place. In case of a bank this could also mean a trip to the nearest branch for ID verification. Th…

I know everybody says how bad SMS 2FA is, and how we should replace it with the next cool thing $BIGCORP invented (thus requiring you to have an account with them, which only defer…

Is that true? Large companies producing software usually have bespoke infra, which barely anyone monitors. See: the Solarwinds hack. Similarly to the xz compromise they added the a…

I'm not sure where you live (probably the US), but here in Europe you can easily get GPON ONTs from different manufacturers. There even are whole communities dedicated to replacing…

For me as a person who learned programming in the times of Github/lab/whatever, the idea of sending patches via email is fucking ridiculous. The typical interface for handling merg…

Does it work for touchscreens too? When I plug in a portable monitor with a touchscreen into my macOS laptop the touch input gets sent into the screen where the cursor is (ie. I to…

I still have a drawer full of phone holders and bluetooth receivers that I used in my previous car with a "dumb" radio. All of the holders were annoyingly rattling when driving ove…

I used to live in an old apartment block with thick concrete walls, and away from a cellular base station. VoWifi was really helpful if I wanted to make calls from my home. I guess…
