I'm not going to personally install this and I'd pay publishers for their content. What I won't do is sign up for an expensive yearly subscription that is generally made difficult to cancel just so I can read a handful of ar

My biggest struggle with my Mikrotik was discovering how much consumer grade routers do behind the scenes automagically that commercial grade routers will not. For instance, I wanted working NAT reflection and since my external IPv4 address

I needed a USB to serial converter and specifically went out of my way to ensure I did not purchase a FTDI based one exactly because of that malicious driver incident.

Another thing was that any time someone used my Emacs, they couldn't because it wasn't like their Emacs. You hit the nail on the head. I spent months forcing myself to use nothing but Emacs to get past the "this is

I live by very suspiciously similar rules of thumb although my tolerance in the past for dynamic scripting languages was probably closer to several hundred lines of code. However, I have to acknowledge that modern IDEs (and even advanced co

Pretty much. I can't even recall the last time I've had to touch a low level threading class in Java since the executors cover so many of the common use cases.

Lovely - I can't wait to see how horrible something like that is to implement in a language like Go.

That's distinctly different than the location/web history that Google pesters you to enable in order to set the Home location.

What data? The location history feature in only on briefly while you are setting your Home location and once you turn it off again it stops collecting it. You also can go into your Google account and verify what information (if any) was c

I worked around that by briefly enabling history, setting the Home address and then immediately turning history back off. Obviously not ideal but it solved the problem for me.

Citrix LBs come in many flavors. At a guess, since you talk about it being externally managed - I'd ask your vendor if you are on dedicated hardware/instance vs being yet another tenant on an (and I might be forgetting my termino

In addition to that all that, I once caught Windows Defender submitting places.sqlite out of my Firefox profile directory so I'd recommend you turn off "automatic sample submission" in Windows Defender if WPD doesn't alr

I use both Windows and Linux on desktop. For personal web browsing, Firefox is my main driver but for work-related stuff I generally use Google Chrome. The moment Edge-ium went GA on Windows I was able to uninstall Google Chrome permanentl

Yep. The most infuriating part of their sudden disabling of existing extensions and preventing users from installing non-whitelisted ones on mobile FF is that if extensions like uBlock Origin and NoScript will work you know that a simple r

You really hit it on the head. Public transit where I live is a nightmare. It would involve me driving my car something like 15 minutes to the nearest train station and paying for parking (an amenity that is free at my employer's offi

I'm technically working longer because I'm not spending 70-120 additional minutes of each day commuting 14 miles to/from the office. Despite working longer, I still end up having more free time. It is amazing how I manage to

I didn't mean to imply my Pixel 2 is unusable by any means. The phone is still perfectly usuable but it is certainly not as snappy as it used to be despite its ridiculous overpowered specs. For instance, bringing up common applicatio

At a guess - that probably falls under FCC Part 15 rules since it isn't an intentional transmitter. As long as it isn't causing interference it'd be compliant.

The short story is - developers typically need to target more than one version of Java and the long lifetime of LTS releases don't line of up very well with that. Canonical historically provided a single "system" version of J

Similar issue here - I want functional mDNS so I'm sticking with tinc for the foreseeable future. I'd really like to see tinc evolve to be able to use pluggable transports so that WG could form the backbone though.
