I looked around for a least invasive solution, and went with https://www.android-x86.org/ in a small virtual machine.

https://www.nongnu.org/oath-toolkit/oathtool.1.html with some very light shell wrapper around it.

I too was hit by this a few months ago, after having to create a Google account for work, and worked around it by running an android emulator where I installed their authenticator app. This was enough to get past the stupid "you have t

Legitimate SMTP servers will try your domain's MX records one by one, in order of priority, until they reach one that accepts the message. Spammers' scripts usually don't bother, they just try the first one and move on to the

Thanks for the answers, everybody. I guess I am the weird one, as I still think it's mostly just adding useless noise to an already noisy public web, and therefore kind of rude.

Do people really put stuff like "half finished tutorials" and little exploratory non-projects up on the Internet? What for? That stuff normally does not need to leave your local harddisk. Maybe exceptionally, if you want to explic

Or just go old school, and use something like Icecast from your home server. Years ago, I used to have a MPD + Icecast setup that streamed audio to my phone over OpenVPN, and it worked flawlessly.

There is an interesting Youtube video by AlternateHistoryHub on exactly this topic ("What if Britain Wasn't An Island?"), so if you're interested in a bit of theorizing about what could've been or might've been

Why not, if it's released under a good open license?

Not that I do not have respect for Linux, but that doesn't sound like much in an age when we're reading about modern aristocracy buying up useless microblogging platforms for forty-plus billions. :)

Agreed, this will just make the abusers-vs-algorithm arms race iterate faster, while commercial social media giants watch from distance and take notes, receiving valuable research for free. :)

Why not? If someone tries to coerce me like that, they're no longer my friend, because I cannot trust them, nor feel comfortable around them anymore. But they can still be my wife's friend's husband, and that's how I am

Friendship over, immediately. (Group of friends is a completely different situation from what's being discussed here.)

I would hope that going by popularity is something a search engine WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT DO in a corporate setting. This is a completely different scenario than what we have on the public WWW, so unless your corporation has a situation where

Yes, but that's because the space contains so many duplicate or almost duplicate articles that search results have no chance of being good. I see the problem in the searched content, not in the search engine itself.

Confluence search is alright. The problem with Confluence is the undisciplined people who mess up their spaces to the point where the search comes up with too many mostly duplicate results, where you can't be sure which one is the late

I mentioned this point on HN once or twice in the past, and the response has been pretty much "nobody's going to do that, learn to live with our fixed width articles, you outdated dinosaur!" :)

FWIW, when rebuilding jless with some of the cargo tweaks mentioned here, as well as in https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2020/04/28/redu... , I managed to get the binary size down to 1.75

I'm loving it, and certainly will be using it a lot. One thing, though - 2MB seems like a lot for program of this kind. In comparison, jq on my system has 30kB.

I'd prefer if web designers used relative max width of maybe 80 or 90%, and left it to users to resize their browser windows accordingly. But I realize that is a pipe dream, people are too lazy for that, so I just use custom CSS browse

All I see on the Marginalia Plato article is a site that forces an uncomfortably narrow article width on me, while eschewing almost all the advantages of hypertext in the name of some ill-conceived notion of "quieter reading". I&#

Most games already do run with little or no problems. I recommend looking up games you are interested in on https://protondb.com to see how well you can expect them to run with Proton.

Sure, it is just one of the barriers, but it is still a barrier. If their central server gets compromised, every single Wire user has one less barrier protecting them.

Does it still send your password to the central server, as mentioned in Wire's Wikipedia article? I do not see a mention that they changed it.

Agreed, it's a matter of preference, but I prefer logically separate changes to be in separate commits at least within the PR, where it may make reviewing the PR easier. It's basic empathy towards the reviewer(s). Of course, when

Just disable javascript. You don't need it to read plain text anyway.
