It's sad that Pis are now so overpriced. They used to be fun little tinker boards that were semi-cheap.

I used GrapheneOS for about half a year as my primary phone OS. It does not scramble your GPS in any way (it has the same course/fine-grained GPS permissions as regular Android), but it does allow you to block a lot more app permission

So what phone manufacturer should we go to? Apple, who has always heavily restricted software installation on their devices?

It's frustrating and sad to see the road that Google is headed down with Android and Pixels. The recent AOSP changes were a big red flag, now this. I've had many Nexus and Pixel devices because I like the freedom that they offer m

I was running k3s locally for all home infra stuff because I too enjoy containers (and some of the things that Kubernetes provides.) Recently I found NixOS and am greatly enjoying that. The container dance gets tiring after a while and havi

The worst are forms that don't tell you there are complexity requirements until they're submitted.

I've only used it through RDP on Wayland and it's been fine visually. Downloading it can be a challenge if you don't know where to look (Github, not Microsoft's App Store...)

I haven't used Putty since I stopped using Windows for anything serious (in the early 00s.) It was my favorite quick and dirty SSH and serial client before then though!

Cool, but hachyderm.io also is not a trusted/recognizable domain for me. Trust issues all the way down!

What does "Dey well" and "Yarn me" mean at the bottom of your comments?

This really doesn't seem like something one would want to mess around with if they don't know what they're doing (fire hazards and all...)

If he was a "ski bum" I'm guessing he wasn't commuting to Denver, but to get to the mountains up there he'd have to drive the extra distance sometimes.

This is ridiculous ignorance and akin to Canada's near ban on the Flipper Zero. We might as well ban cars because they can be used to transport drugs and dead bodies. I have run Graphene on my phone for some time. I'm not doing an

Amazon is not the place I'd go to for electronics parts. Mouser and Digikey are my go-tos.

I'd say a small (single digit) percentage of people are able to accumulate $1.5 million over "a few" (2-3) years of working, but maybe I'm out of touch.

I only use Windows for gaming, and the Intel graphics driver keeps getting downgraded by Windows Update. It's pretty annoying to have a fully updated driver get reverted to one that's a few years old. Good luck changing that behav

For anyone else that's curious, it turns out there are a TON of company-specific TLDs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_dom...

Which companies have this capability besides SpaceX and Blue Origin? More competition is always welcome.

Also, if (when) their Captcha decides that you're a bad actor, there's literally no way around it. You can spend tons of time checking the box/trying again, but there's no way to "solve" it.

For the most part I like Tailscale, but there's weirdness on Android with their app + Private DNS.

I wish Gemini could do this with Go. It generates plenty of junk/non-parseable code and I have to feed it the error messages and hope it properly corrects it.

I'm not in IT anymore and we run 100% macs, so serious question here: isn't nearly everything a webapp nowadays? Every "non dev" thing that I have to do for work happens in my browser or an electron app. I guess maybe MS
