    Yep. Android does this by default, but each ssid gets a randomized MAC which persists. It is still straightforward to trigger a MAC change manually tho. It is useful for privacy bu…

    I think it is naive to attribute this victory to accelerationists. Trump has a very clear mandate and this seems to be what the American people want now.

    Emby was not a fork. Plex server has never been open source.

    I run some software on a raspberry pi at home. This pattern works very well for me: - services exposed via caddy(configured to use my domain on cloudflare for SSL) - my lan dns res…

    I noticed hexyl wasn't on your list: https://github.com/sharkdp/hexyl Your software seems to be in the same vein as hexyl. I can't personally vouch for how well it handles large fi…

    I switched to archlinuxarm on my rpi4 cause I got sick of having to jump through hoops to do mundane things like needing a ppa to install ripgrep or downloading debs for less popul…

    Apologies, you are correct. I haven't considered emigrating to the US for years and forgot the specific details. Most of my recent knowledge just comes from my friends who live the…

    I agree that UK isn't as left wing as I'd like, but there is really a huge difference between what's considered right wing between the UK and the US. For instance, the NHS. Poor or…

    Oh, and also, if I choose to permanently live in the UK, or EU, the path to citizenship is deterministic with a known timeline. In the US, the time from Green card to citizenship i…

    I'm grew up in India and went to grad school in the US and worked there. Eventually, I transferred to the UK cause I didn't get through the US work visa lottery. I'm much happier h…

    I wonder why the organizations doing shady stuff like this respect plus addressing. Seems like they could just strip out the + addressed stuff?

    This is just standard phishing and you could even do it off your phone. I was hoping the hack used one of the other RF protocols which the device supports.

    Seems to me that the only difference between what you're proposing and just self regulating your social media intake is FOMO.

    Everyone on Twitter doesn't think they have ADHD. The algorithm probably put you in a bubble since you seem to engage with that kind of content.

    My guess is not by much. Text doesn't require a lot of storage. After looking at a few random files my estimate is that the size of the full compressed dump would be about 30x (~10…

    Not affiliated with the project, but just took a look at their readme. It literally lists how to install it on every single platform, how to launch it, what features it has, keyboa…

    That marketing is clearly aimed at the self hosting crowd. Lots of self hosted apps don't have prebuilt docker images.

    I remember that mozilla promised to open source the pocket backend and that went nowhere

    How do you propose they do college admissions then?

    You can use the docker compose cli directly since podman exposes the docker api export "DOCKER_HOST=unix://$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman/podman.sock"

    Do they claim that existing python code would get a 10x bump? That sounds too good to be true

    Why would you do this instead of just a comment? I feel like type hints only have value if they can be used by the tooling.

    This is essentially just a way for people from the Americas to legally work from Iceland for a few months.
