   With older versions of Android, what Google could do was pretty limited (in terms of messing with the core OS). While Google Play Services has a lot permissions, it all fits into Android's permission model and does not run as root. Pac

   A bit of a weird one, but I got a set of collapsible silicone funnels and found that they are excellent fidget toys. Gives me something to do with my hands so I don't touch my face, etc.

   It'd be awesome if that worked, but unfortunately the SAML implementation my company uses doesn't work that way. A refresh just presents the username/password fields again.

   Oh, they do. It's just that restoring 20 tabs on browser start results in 20 SSO pages and I have to log in each one of them separately to return to the original pages. I can't do something like logging into one and hitting the ba

   I wish there was a way to keep all redirects in the back button history. For me, one of the most infuriating things on my work computer was starting up the browser after a period of inactivity (eg. the weekend) and seeing every Jira/

   For those who have a Valve Index (and have it plugged into a work computer...), the mic is surprisingly excellent on it. I set it upside-down on my desk and it picks up my voice just fine.

   I use a Chrome just for watching Twitch streams. Despite Twitch only officially supporting 1080p60fps as the max, streamers are able to feed 1080p90fps or 1080p120fps streams to Twitch's RTMP servers. With my 60Hz monitor, Firefox is a

   Wow, that's pretty crazy. I didn't know Wi-Fi Direct was already supported on (non-Android) Linux. It doesn't seem to establish a connection properly with my Intel 8265 card out of the box though. I'll have to play aroun

    Are there any good alternatives to their higher end products, like the UAP-AC-HD? I currently have 2 of those, but have been thinking about replacing them because of increasingly buggy updates and especially after the AP firmware update tha

    I use bsdtar for a similar purpose. It’s part of the fantastic libarchive[1] project and supports every format I’ve thrown at it so far. [1] https://www.libarchive.org/

    All of the proprietary tools I know of for doing frame-perfect cuts (VideoRedo, TMPGEnc, SolveigMM) work by determining (guessing?) the original encoding parameters and then only reencoding the first and last GOP. The rest of the video is j

    In `/etc/pipewire/media-session.d/bluez-monitor.conf`, I uncommented: bluez5.msbc-support = true bluez5.sbc-xq-support = true You'll also need to make sure you're on a kernel supporting the WBS fal

    For me, I'd like/expect pipewire to lock the software volume at 100% and adjust only the hardware volume if AVRCP absolute volume is supported by the head. (This seems to be how Android and Windows behave.) I mainly care about kee

    I believe when the HFP profile is used and mSBC is supported, then mSBC is used for both the input and output.

    This was all with Wayland. I haven't tried using pipewire with X11.

    I'm not super familiar with the pipewire internals, but I believe pipewire is the daemon responsible for talking to bluez/bluetoothd and ensuring that the audio stream is encoded with a codec that the headset supports. For example

    I'm not sure about this one. I haven't tried streaming audio over the network with either pulseaudio or pipewire.

    I've been trying out the latest master builds of pipewire recently and have been pretty impressed with it: * My bluetooth headset can now use the HFP profile with the mSBC codec (16 kHz sample rate) instead of the terrible CVSD codec (

    Thanks for the write up! I'll have to try this with my Totoro rips. The blu-ray version has the 2004 English dub, but I prefer the 1993 dub from (one of the) DVDs.

    Thanks for the detailed write-up! I find this stuff very interesting. I've mostly only dealt with low-level userspace code on Android in the past.

    I'm looking for the same as well. I've heard good things about actual enterprise APs, though they seem to be quite expensive. Ruckus APs are 4x the price of my current Ubiquiti APs. I'll probably do more research into this wh

    100% agreed in general. In this particular case, that's likely the Bitbucket project name (or "slug" if you're looking at the API or backend database). On our old instance at work, it's all caps and has a short leng

    Unfortunately I don't remember. From the (little) notes I kept, the corruption occurred with restic version 0.9.3. I had also tried restoring with the latest code from git master, but I didn't make a note of the exact commit (it d

    restic used to be my tool of choice in the past, but I unfortunately ran into an issue where a single corrupted blob caused many files to be unrecoverable. Thankfully, I noticed it when testing the backups so I didn't actually lose any

    I had no idea kio-fuse was being worked on. This is awesome! gvfs (and its FUSE implementation) was my favorite feature of GNOME and was the reason I primarily used Nautilus on KDE on my work VM.

    With my Valve Index, when the headset or controllers go near the boundaries of the play space (approx. 1.5ft from the edge for a 9x9ft area), SteamVR will overlay a bright cyan wireframe of what the cameras see on top of the game. For me, t
