"pink" h? There's a way to enable colours?

There was some discussion on the GitHub issues about workarounds to disable it, even though it is baked in. https://github.com/theori-io/copy-fail-CVE-2026-31431/issues... https://github.com/theori

Yes, strongly agree. This is HUGE news, I would have skimmed over "Copy Fail". The blog post might be a better place to link to also, it has more details on the exploit. https://xint.io/blog/copy-fail-linux-di

I would say 16 tablets would be closer to 6, or even 8 euro here.

Yeah, I lived in the UK before and it's a bit mad. You can't buy antihistamines either, only in pharmacies and they are quite expensive. I remember you could get them in Tesco or Asda for like £2.

In Ireland you can buy acetaminophen in stores, gas stations etc. For ibuprofen you need to go to a pharmacy.

libfaketime is cool for testing this kind of thing too. Not as convenient for unit tests cause you have to run the test with LD_PRELOAD.

The whole idea of colour and light frequency is fascinating. These are just frequencies of light, but the subjective experience of them is so much more. And the whole thing of my perception of "red" or what I call "red"

You know you can just paste mermaid into excalidraw? It has a mermaid WYSIWYG editor and once the diagram is inserted you can edit it, move objects, add text just like you had drawn it directly in excalidraw. I usually enter mermaid and the

It's such a great piece of software IMHO. Calibre web support, opds catalogue, wallabag, ssh. And it supports so many file formats. I'd imagine the built in reader has improved a lot over the years, but at the time reading technic

+1 for Kobo. I've had my Kobo Clara HD for almost 8 years and I still use it daily with KOReader. It's so easy to install KOReader and it's really repairable. I replaced the SD card at one point, and another time I thought it

That four part blog was one of the most entertaining things I've read this year, thanks. Really in the spirit of "hacker" news IMO. I get the motivation, it's less avoiding the 1.50 per month and more like a challenge to

Really interesting. Forgive my ignorance, but I thought Israel's "iron dome" offered a very effective defense. Is this just from short distance missiles from neighbouring countries? This article seems to indicate it's ve

Do they actually call it a pint or just a half litre / large beer? That's seems to be the norm in a lot of mainland Europe.

Thanks, that sounds really good. Yeah it just wasn't possible to get the text sharp enough to be usable with the vitures. It is a while back so my memory is hazy. But I feel like the edges in particular were bad or you could focus one

I love digital watches and have a few Casios, including a protrek like the G-Shock he mentions at the end, that syncs to a radio signal and has solar charging. I switched to a Garmin with oled screen for running, sleep, and Garmin pay. I li

Good point, having a once off advanced option to completely bypass this at device setup would be good. Also, other commenters have mentioned that adb is unaffected by this which makes it seem like less of a problem, to me at least. Still in

Well, I guess 24 hours gives a good change to include at least one window where a vulnerable person might be able to speak with a trusted contact. Someone who lives in another timezone or works weird hours etc. Our routines generally repeat

I don't know. I've been silently outraged and disappointed by this whole forbidding of unverified apps, but also hopeful it wouldn't affect me much as a user of grapheneos. But this process seems pretty reasonable to me. I&#x

Are you able to actually work with the VR glasses? I bought a pair of viture pro glasses thinking I could use them with my (linux) laptop / (android) phone when travelling as a large external monitor. But they were usable for coding, t

I have something similar set up to unlock the drives on my home server. Just the SSH in initramfs though, tailscale is pretty cool. I've done stuff with mkinitcpio / initramfs on arch before, can't remember exactly what for.

I get about 2, max 3 hours battery on my intel 12th gen framework 13. I generally have it always plugged in, but it's not great.
