I ran Graphene without a Sim card for 2 months and as soon as I added a Sim card (with of course, difficult to vet networking) the phone is always hot and the battery life reduced by half. Might be a coincidence but also made me rethink how

I still use Amazon despite them being burned because they seem slightly more reliable than other places, but only slightly and my goodwill to them is completely burned. Yesterday they delivered a package to a parcel locker 150 miles away, w

I love the irony of you checking them out for more information in response to a comment of them being worried about who reads their data. Nothing wrong with it, just make me chuckle

I was under the impression that to backup the encrypted whatsapp you need to enable your own encryption key, which presumably makes it more secure but of course that's trusting Meta's implementation

Especially now with LLMs. My hand coded github activity is through the roof the last two years just because of a job change, but I assume everyone's activity is up in the last 2 years for other reasons and if it meant anything in the p

This might seem like bait but I assure you it isn't - I reach for MySQL by default over postgres - but why did you choose MySQL for the state database? In terms of HA and synchronous clustering it's a good solution but unless I&#x

This sounds like exactly the kind of thing I'd waste a weekend setting up but what do you actually do with the decrypted traffic? What do you inject? I know you said it's personal but maybe some basic ideas. Do you find any websit

This was even more annoying when they started including whatsapp backups in your quota and sent a load of people over quota. And as far as I know there's no alternative for whatsapp backups apart from plugging in a USB cable and hoping

Any sources for the whole EU not having speed limits on roads, restricting ebikes to roads only or not having restrictions on power?

Yeah someone else posted the same link. I replied with my tail between my legs admitting I didn't know scorched had two definitions (only one being destroyed by fire) and I was downvoted to -3 so deleted it.

Not here, also in Europe, and also not in most of the satellite images they are talking about. They are mostly talking about heat damage, low rivers, and dry patches of land.

The headline is a bit sensationalist. Scorched means burned not just dry, later it mentions that some of the images are scorched from wildfires, but that doesn't seem to correlate to the one shown under the headline.

The timing is great because I was going through that section of the CKA this morning. The only question I have is how guaranteed is the top right section? It seems to rely on the Linux scheduler, could you not have cpu steal from other pods

I don't think you need to find time to be bored, the times have always been there and we didn't search them out before. Just don't mask them with multitasking. Waiting for a bus, waiting in line at a post office, waiting for

I can't believe I was asking about the same article. The flow of time made it feel different and I forgot this was one of my all time favourites that I've been trying to re-find for years. Thank you

I disagree. We've been doing this for two decades already. A lot of monoliths were rewritten in a way that best fit the AWS pricing model of the time with the software itself seemingly being an after afterthought. (I'm not here to

It's a total tangent but AI being so good at developing rust means that my first impression of seeing a rust project has totally changed. 4 or 5 years ago if I had to weigh up two options and one was written in rust it was almost a sur

I read a similar blog post years ago about restricting the technologies you use, and making do with a slightly worse option if it means reusing the stack you already have. The example they gave was something like they wanted to use rabbitmq

This reminds me of how Scientology reportedly targets intelligent people because those people think they are too smart to be sucked in. The advertising industry has hired some of the world's best talent (tech, psychology, legal) to mak

If you turn off personalised ads in the EU for insta they hijack your scrolling to give you "ad breaks" which is actually a really neat feature because it reminds me I've started doom scrolling and I close the app

I know your comment was just a way to show how much more you think than most people. Which made it really ironic that your second sentence served to disprove your point and not support it.
