As far as I'm aware there's no way to do an HTTP request via command blocks, at least in vanilla.

Huh, apparently I still have a POP3 email setup in Gmail, my old ISP provided email. Mildly annoying that it's going away, but I never use that email anyway so I guess it's not a b…

What are your thoughts on screen magnifiers? Personally I tend to increase scaling a bit and use Magnifier for anything that's too small (or increase the font size in the applicati…

I've been keeping my eye on Immich for a while and keep waiting for a stable release to try it out, but that hasn't happened yet. I'm also dreading having to setup proper backups i…

One issue I have with doing this is what about security? Many older android phones don't get updates anymore (I'm not sure if a Pixel 5 is still supported, it might be) so I'd be c…

I personally don't do this because I feel like it defeats the whole purpose of 2fa. If someone gets into your bitwarden account, now they have your passwords and can generate 2fa c…

The search in Google Messages on Android is completely useless too. It seems like it only searches within the past few days or something, if I try searching for something from a wh…

I work with some pretty niche tech where it's usually, ironically, easier to use a debugger than to add print statements. Unfortunately the debugger is pretty primitive, it can't r…

There's also a problem of drivers discriminating, like canceling rides if they see you have a guide dog. It's illegal and they can get banned for it, but it still happens. This wou…

I've wondered this too. I have a little home server with some self hosted services, and I use a client cert on the reverse proxy to add an extra layer of security before the user c…

It sounds like we have a similar situation. I've been wondering if these kinds of glasses would work for me but it just seems like such a hassle to order a pair to try just to end …

I used to use Home Assistant via Docker, but I've since switched to Proxmox with HAOS in a VM and a second Debian VM for everything else. My main reason for this is that it seems l…

My area has a dial-a-ride service where you can schedule a ride and they essentially make an on demand bus route for it. I've never actually used it though because it's just really…

One thing I noticed with the example `['0-9a-f']` Doesn't this go against the "literals are enclosed in quotes" idea? In this case, you have a special character (`-`) inside a quot…

Where do you get media from? Piracy is an option, but if you want to do it semi-legally I guess you’d need to rip blu-rays, but that seems like it'd be more expensive than streamin…

Have you seen Meshtastic ( https://meshtastic.org/ )? It seems like a similar concept but using dedicated devices and unlicensed ISM frequencies, and it's a proper mesh network (so…

There's also JS8call which is a modified version of FT8 meant for actual communication. IIRC you can do some neat things with it, like relaying a message through another user if yo…

I had a health class in high school that taught things like sex ed, first aid, we even learned CPR (the teacher was also an EMT). I remember one class where we had to bring in news…

You can get devices that adapt an analog phone to VoIP, something like this https://a.co/d/54J6Svg I've never used that device so I can't say how good it is, but something like tha…

When my work laptop got an upgrade recently, I received a Dell Precision 5690 and it seems pretty MacBook-like, like they tried to clone a MBP. Granted, I haven't ever owned a mode…

And then there's my parents, who live in a rural area and have a tiny fiber ISP charging $70/mo for 50mbps. That's not missing a zero...

It's funny, the author says the high contrast hurts his eyes, but for many visually impaired users (myself included), light mode is like a blinding white light that's very hard to …

I also misread that. And when the Steam Deck first came out I remember constantly misreading it as Stream Deck. Interesting how that changed.

At work we use very niche languages that don't have language servers or really much support in IDEs in general (people have internally written syntax highlighters but that's about …

Out of curiosity, how did you get your old phone online? Did it have wifi, or were you able to get it on an actual mobile network? I thought I heard the 2g/3g networks have mostly …
