I don't think this is true everywhere. Queensland has the QAS[1], operated and funded by the state government. There are no (direct) fees. [1] https://www.ambulance.qld.gov.au/

Syncthing is great, but no good for mobile devices if you want to store and access lot of large files - it syncs everything, and last I checked, the features to prevent that were d…

I did the same thing some years ago. I chose purelymail[0] as the MX for my personal domain and would recommend. The only issue is that it's so cheap, and my credit lasts so long, …

It's redundant by now, but performative cruelty is the whole point.

My experience also. Kent is obviously very committed to the project.

FWIW, I've done a few bcachefs bug reports and thought Kent's responses were great.

Have you tried Kagi? It's not "peak Google", but at least I don't miss it so much anymore.

I switched back to the arch default kernel for my 32TB home media server, would you recommend going back to compiling your kernel for the time being?

Firefox on Android's URL bar still, in 2023, does not understand IPv6 addresses. So, unfortunately, there are still reasons to use Chrome. I use the Bromite f-droid repo but it has…

Do you know this is exactly how it works in most first world countries already? (except for the health insurance bit, because most first world countries have a public health system…

It's pretty obvious that bluesky is mostly handwaving around decentralization and federation. It will all go in the too hard basket once the service gains critical mass. Another VC…

Have you used it? My local feed is overflowing with people that I think you would definitely describe as "normies"

What's the best way to play Quake on Linux these days?

I guess they see (saw?) some value in being known as Trump's host... but not that much value https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RightForge

brute force attack in this context is probably less technical (a hammer and a cold chisel)

I'll add to the chorus saying lightning is terrible. I have a mix of devices using lightning and USB-C. I have had zero issues with USB-C, in fact I still charge my phone every nig…

I have a local maildir[1] account in Evolution. Each of my (IMAP) mail accounts is set so the "archive" command moves the message to a folder under the maildir account (if you're u…

As others have started, when looking at events in Australia, you can consider the currently-governing Liberal party (economically liberal, socially conservative) and News Corp as e…

A key part of this legislation is the requirements for tech companies to provide selected news organisations with advance notice about changes to ranking algorithms. This has been …

Surprised nobody has mentioned YADM - it can do per-device files and/or per-device templating too (jinja2 syntax). It's just a thin wrapper around git so you can use any git comman…

For what it's worth, I recognized this as your content immediately. Thanks for your work.
