It looks like only IPv4 is affected. IPv6 is working fine to a couple of test endpoints. 3 2a02:c28:1:6506::106 2.131 ms 2.124 ms 2.117 ms 4 2a02:c28:11:6::100 15.695 ms 15.689 ms …

All day every day since 2009 :) I've kept an eye on other phones throughout the years, but nothing quite ticks the same boxes (and by far most things aren't even remotely close). T…

It still works great on the Nokia N900! https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/UsingPidgin/N900

This was my first thought too. I have done this successfully to get Cat5e everywhere in a house that used to have coax everywhere. If you do it, I recommend attaching multiple pull…

https://kis-orca.eu/map/ is a very accurate map, but doesn't cover the whole world. You can compare the cables in and leaving Europe to decide whether you think https://www.submari…

For Office 365 I use DavMail [0] for calendar, and Office 365's own SMTP/IMAP servers for mail. Both seem to work well. It would be nice to have DavMail built in to Thunderbird, bu…

Intel's own distribution defaults to the peformance governor [1] in order to race to idle. This has been Intel's recommendation for some years. [1] https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/l…

I'm surprised to hear of problems with Firefox and ALSA. On all my Gentoo machines I simple compile Firefox with USE="-pulseaudio" which sets --enable-alsa within Firefox's build. …

To name some big ones: Alpine, Gentoo, Slackware.

GLiv [1]. Firefox and GLiv both take ~5 seconds to load the image for me, although whilst Firefox takes another ~5 seconds to re-render after zooming in to 100 %, GLiv is instant. …

I was delighted that a fun toy didn't need JS for once. If the concern is one of privacy, the author could just be sending the text to the server in the background with JS too.

The package contains microcode for old CPUs but it isn't necessarily still updated or recent. Here for example is what's available for my router's CPU, from the latest package: # g…

It is useful in the case that you want a predictable and expected delay immediately, rather than unpredictable delays for an unknown length of time to come.

`cal` does try to use the expected first day of the week based on the locale. It seems to at least use LC_TIME from some quick local testing: bratch@serenity ~ $ LC_TIME=en_GB cal …

I find the opposite - without JS permitted for at least a couple of domains, one only sees the mobile site and extremely low resolution images. Edit: And even with JS, images remai…

This is what I'm waiting for, but in the meantime I'm still running Maemo 5 on an N900. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N900 There's still a…

Gentoo's package manager (Portage) deals with this quite nicely for packages like st [1]. Both custom patches and config.h changes can be saved in the package manager, which will t…

Being hosted where it is is particularly annoying because you can't view it unless you accept cookies from google.com. A JavaScript redirect takes you straight to https://support.g…

You can also fix this with "browser.showQuitWarning = true" in about:config. It still instantly quits with only one tab open, but so would Ctrl-W.

BetterStop [1] restores the old behaviour well. [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/betterstop/

And you can also kill -USR1 $(pidof dd) to get the current progress and transfer rate.

The host (assuming the same host) is responding with a different website when accessed via IPv4 vs IPv6. $ curl -4s http://kairos.xyz/ | grep title Kairos $ curl -6s http://kairos.…

Note that if Firefox is already running, you'll need to use --no-remote --ProfileManager. Details in WONTFIXed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99828 .

Indeed, I just purchased one from https://shop.pimoroni.com/ for £3.33. Alas, it was £3.00 for shipping.

The leading space behaviour is true only if HISTCONTROL="ignorespace" is set.
