Such great advice, had never thought of that. Thanks!
I mean, "my card information being stolen" is literally only an issue because credit card companies won't force US retailers to accept proper chip and pin. It just is not an issue everywhere I've been in Europe because…
What the hell? I get downvoted for linking an authoritative answer to the question I was asked? I'm so god damn sick of participating here in good faith and getting wordlessly crapped on for it. The answer supports…
It's almost like my own comment said I wasn't making excuses and pointed out it was a preview release. I don't know why I bother. Also, I don't understand what Google being in trouble for anti-trust has to do with a…
"Currently the owner of the project must be online in order to receive any proposed RSM updates from a contributor. Once received and processed, these updates will be written to IPFS by the project owner, and made…
Please understand I'm not excusing anything, it's horrendous it took this long to have user controls. That having been said, in the Android Q preview, Android occasionally lets me know that an app has access to my…
I thought Radicle was cool too, but as I understand it (in its current state), it has a much "larger" SPOF in that changes can only be submitted when the single authoritative repo is online.
`nix-env` can be coerced into pinning a package at a specific revision, effectively ignoring channel updates. However, yes, I do all of my nixos package management in my system configuration and try to avoid `nix-env`…
Fortunately, `builtins.fetchTarball` makes this easier. I do this in my `nixcfg` repo so that I can build my entire machine config (patches and enabling Iris in Mesa, and all) on a stupidly-cheap Packet.net VM:…
And yet, I would (will?) likely be derided if I complained about every forced show of heterosexuality, in virtually every piece of media produced in the last many decades. I immediately think of the scene in the second…
I'm curious to understand what you're describing. Can you give an example of a Netflix show, the season and political trope, and how it detracted from the show's quality? And I'm definitely curious what you're imagining…
There was a time where every login was followed by auto-playing trailers for a show about suicide, during a time that I really just didn't need to be seeing that. With no way to prevent it... other than canceling and…
See also: SAP's Gardener. Their website reminds me of a spam landing page more than a valuable, robust project, so I'll link an official Kubernetes blog post about it: https://kubernetes.io/blog/2018/05/17/gardener/…
My understanding is that bad/poor gateways are penalized. In my own experience, I've only ever needed to change circuits manually once (but I'm primarily using Tor to NAT punch to hidden services, not sure if that…
While I said less than 30 seconds, it really was about 10 seconds but I didn't want to sound like I was exaggerating. And that was of course including switching apps, the initial Tor connection, switching apps back,…
Why is this downvoted? It took less than 30 seconds to fire up Orbot, connect, open YouTube and start streaming a video without any issue or fuss. Sometimes when people talk about Tor, it reminds me of how people talked…
How does a company pandering to a consumer group have anything to do with the civil rights struggle of that group? How am I, as a gay man, responsible for the fact that companies see Pride as a valuable advertising…
How does the percentage of LGBT folks change whether I should have equal rights? How does the percentage of LGBT folks change whether I could be fired because my boss hates gay people? "more relaxed"? What does that…
I don't understand what imgur has to do with Twitter deciding to stop serving content to browsers with JS disabled? I was just trying to explain why some of us were confused -- until I tweaked NoScript, the first tweet…
Have you tried hitting Ctrl+Shift+N to restore the previously closed windows? These will behave differently: (1) "Quitting" Firefox will multiple windows open. (2) Using your WM to close both Firefox windows. The latter…
That's exactly my point. I knew enough to be "destructive" in middle school with the school computers, but I chose not to, because of how I was raised. It wasn't that the school group policy was effective, but rather…
I get that this is HN, and "tech" is the solution to everything, but an android app or consumer router setting are not going to protect your kids from: predatory YouTube content (we all remember the epidemic of…
Thanks for the constructive feedback as always.
Of course they are. Google is better at cloud and better at Linux, and Steam/Proton are already turning the tide for big games being available on Linux. If Stadia forces all triple-A titles to be Vulkan compatible, and…
I'm sorry, I tend not to view replies on HN. Here's my repo: https://github.com/colemickens/nixcfg/ Start in {configurations,machines}/chimera.nix and explore outward from there ;). EDIT: I forgot, I decommissioned…
