I own a Rolex and wear it most days. You may be surprised to find that Reddit is not representative of the real world.

You don’t understand it, so it must be a cult? Maybe I don’t want more computers strapped to my body, maybe I don’t want to interact with one every time I need to know the time. Maybe I don’t need a subsecond accurate clock throughout the d

Many years ago when I disabled my Facebook account I noticed that Messenger continued to work, so there was definitely some level of separation.

A combination of cycling and beer posters, all from limited runs and framed… I also have some of my photography on canvases and a photo of Liam Gallagher smoking a cigarette on a plane.

Not to mention that “Owen” woman who nobody seems to know anything about but is this spitting image of his ex-wife and has that trademark Johnson shade of hair.

We use a short domain for QR codes to stop them getting overly complex.

It’s working now, I wonder if it was related to the public WiFi I was using earlier. I’ll try it again next time I am there, everything else seemed to be working fine.

Great domain name, but the certificate isn’t trusted on my iPhone (iOS 17).

I used to have two Arowana about 15 years ago, they were fascinating fish. Then one day I got up in the morning and they were just… gone. Tank was well sealed, nothing in there big enough to eat one let alone both of them, and I checked eve

Very similarly to yourself, but I would say backdoor and vulnerability are mutually exclusive (kinda? I guess a backdoor is a deliberate vulnerability but I think you know what I mean) yet both can be exploited (the exploit being the client

CGNAT should be using 100.64.0.0/10 per RFC 6598.

Sorry if this is a daft question, but what functions are you talking about?

In the USA, perhaps. An amusing statement really, given the context.

As another reply mentioned, to prevent DNS rebinding attacks. The general expectation is you will whitelist domains from which you expect RFC1918 responses.

That’s the phrase I was looking for!

Do most DNS forwarders not block addresses that resolve to a local IP these days? I know dnsmasq does, and NextDNS too I think.

Just the woman? Is this period not special for the father?

“You what, mate?” is fairly aggressive, it immediately makes me think of some dickhead in a pub taking offence to someone and looking to escalate to a physical confrontation (I’m British). Unrelated but “oi, dickhead” is what I shout at my

Fun fact, I’m UK based and should I find the police demanding I open my (gun) safe I would legally have to refuse until an authorised firearms officer is present lest I lose my shotgun license.

If I was being asked to debug this for someone I know, my first two questions would be “did your phone say delivered?” and “does the recipient have a Mac/iPad/etc that could’ve received the message?”; do you know the answer to eit

I shouldn’t form an opinion based on my own experiences because it might upset you? That’s a pretty self centred view of things. I could’ve expanded, I’m pretty much de facto “IT Support” for a lot of the friends/family I’ve spent thos

I’d find this surprising! I’m probably the only person I know who frequently messages (via iMessage nonetheless) with foreign contacts. In addition I’m pretty sure cross-state comms in the USA are treated like international comms are in Eur

I think the problem is that you do understand and have explained it perfectly, but some people can’t handle the truth. These threads have brought out some ludicrous opinions (as anything Apple centric tends to on HN).

by wrboyce 3y ago
To give you another perspective, I’m UK based too and use iMessage daily to stay in touch with my family and close friends. Every now and then I’ll have bad signal (or maybe the recipient does? I’m not entirely sure…) and whatever I’m sendi

Give me a fucking break, “bullying” for Christ’s sake! They invented a nice thing, made it available on their hardware, and now people like yourself who refuse to buy their hardware for whatever reason are salty you can’t play on the platfo

This has never, ever, happened to me and I have been using iMessage daily since its inception. I call shenanigans.

I can recommend Fastmail for email, they’ll even pull in all your gmail data. I use iCloud for my calendars which works well but I guess you’d need to be an Apple user. I can also recommend Kagi as a Google Search replacement.
