T mobile is worse. They send me sms adverts based on the location of my sim card. Even a flip phone doesn't help

I consider myself a minimalisr so I should love smart phones. I carry more stuff with to avoid using them

YotaPhone. I really wanted to try that but it was way too expensive for a gimmick

The Mudita Kompakt, I've been rocking this for 6 months now: https://store.mudita.com/store/mudita-kompakt-global It's AOSP, not Googled so things like Uber don't work. There's also no app store, bu

I need my main one for paying friends back and for authorising payments online. Luckily it works without google. The only real app I miss is Uber

I know a guy who tried doing something like this and burnt his house down. One of the batteries exploded and took the others with it.

Is anyone able to explain why it's so much slower when solid state doesn't really care about the data location? Is this simply a quirk of postgres where the index scan requires two reads (unless I'm mistaken) while with mysql

Years ago I used to subscribe to a service that did this for oil tankers and tried to estimate oil to each route, they wrote a weekly summary. Eventually they decided they only wanted enterprise clients and not people like me who, working i

I just checked Kitty and top fails on Debian 12, so I think I was unfair in just calling out Ghostty for this
521.
by dwedge 8mo ago
What do you think the bug is, exactly?
522.
by dwedge 8mo ago
Ancient systems like Debian 12?

by dwedge 8mo ago
It might be a bug in remote handling and I might have unfairly called out GhostTTY for this, but "forgetting to update terminfo on my remote system" just doesn't hold with the way I work. I work managing different systems for

If I install a terminal and SSH doesn't work from it out of the box, I would describe that as a bug and wonder if I need to read the full manual to not fall foul of other gotchas
525.

I could have sworn I checked every menu option but it is there, thank you
526.
by dwedge 8mo ago
I like the look of this terminal, but it doesn't work correctly with SSH (top, ncdu for example) unless you hack the $TERM variable. It feels a bit vibecoded even though it isn't. To give a little productive criticism, one thing I

Porkbun have started demanding ID verification for registrations, which depending how you feel about current events might make you reconsider having them on your list

If I get your password, and you use 2fa that's stored on your phone, does that improve your security position or not
529.
by dwedge 8mo ago
You're right, I should have been more clear in that I meant a local compromise of the machine running the password manager client, not the server running the password manager itself. If my sessions and all of my data can be intercepted

I was reading your other blog post about storing them in bitwarden I have to disagree with this point: > Unless you were forced to by some organisational policy, there’s no point setting up 2FA only to reduce the effective security to 1F

Which issues were they uneducated on? How many did you speak to, and I'm not talking about the engagement-bait bots on places like the Trending side of Twitter

by dwedge 8mo ago
Have you ever spoken to any member of the public in support of Reform to base your opinions on, or is this just similar to when every single brexit voters (millions of people) was assumed to be racist and uneducated

Is that true for any EU countries?

Both blog posts have been on hn in the last fews. I guess you know the market you are writing for. Interesting that you write off flagship android for poor software but accept worse versions. I know it's the price, because I did the sa

It's my own fault but my only mobile browser is webview and this site kept scrolling back to the top

Duckduckgo is begging the question that their name didn't hold them back. 600m is nothing really in that market. I still feel daft saying their name

I thought at first that you said its easier to get distract by Doom as a comment to how this problem is quite old
