I like to order tech stuff from mindfactory.de
Don’t use passwords for public SSH in the first place. Disable password authentication and use pubkeys.
I’m in a similar situation. Before I had to move all was fine, I had a single ethernet port I plugged my router into. It even had a static IPv4 (even though no IPv6 but I could just use tunnelbroker). Literally perfect.
After I moved I’m now stuck in this horribly designed network that has a stupid internet cafe tier login portal even for wired devices, unencrypted wifi, seemingly every single device from every student on the same network (I am getting blasted with other people’s broadcast packets and I’m pretty sure the network congestion from that is where my weird intermittent packet loss comes from). And now I don’t have any public IP address at all.
Whoever they hired to set this up is an absolute moron who has no idea about network security or how to make an efficient network and considering the internet cafe login portal probably likes to cause as much suffering as possible. (Not saying I’m necessarily qualified but the fact alone that I can connect to other people’s AirPlay devices means they failed at both.)
And the reason all of this is a problem is that they also don’t allow putting a router/firewall in front so I can get a sane network. Had to tear down pretty much all the infrastructure I set up in the old place because a lot of it was relying on me having control over the network. Of course, I knew none of this before I moved in, I was explicitly looking for internet shenanigans in the contract.
I now have a janky Wireguard mesh network setup with one of the machines being the IPv6 gateway. Awful but at least I have public addresses and IPv6 (and with that a bit of my own network space) again.
Looking it up, seems like it’s something you will only find on original UNIX. So probably nothing you have to worry about in reality tbh.
Me too, Intel
Registrars (or DNS providers if you don’t use the one that comes with your registrar) worth using have an API to manage DNS entries. That’s basically all there is to DynDNS.
Keep in mind that some killall implementations do not take arguments and instead literally kills all processes. You might want to use pkill instead.
Just one more lane will fix traffic bro
It would need some sort of way to hook into the compositor. PowerToys has it easy because they can just add the necessary APIs to the Windows compositor if it doesn’t already have them. And I feel like compositors would just implement it directly instead of designing an API for it because that’s less complex.
Recently, I met with a founder who cringed when his colleague used the word “humans” instead of “users.” He wasn’t sure why.
Yeah because it sounds super weird. Who says “humans” instead of “people”.
Either way what a stupid article. The AI angle pretty much makes me dismiss it outright because I refuse to let AI dictate anything I do except for adding AI crawlers to my website’s robots.txt. And then you’ve got the corporate focus which is also really strange since that’s not the only place where there’s “users”. Open-source software also has users (and developers, so if you want to replace “users” with “people”, does that mean developers are not people?) and I would be insulted if someone implied I “depersonalize” the people who use my software by calling them users. It’s just a descriptive word and this article and everyone quoted here seems like they’re trying to pull a bad connotation to the word out of thin air.
The more they get regulated, the better their stuff becomes*. It’s wild that people are on the side of Apple for a lot of this stuff, most prominently probably with third party app stores supposedly “decreasing security”.
Sent from my MacBook :^)
* At least when it comes to consumer rights regulations. I’m still mad about China demanding they remove the option to accept AirDrop from everyone without a time limit on iPhones and Apple then implementing that restriction globally for whatever godforsaken reason.
I’d classify that as under “less usable UI”. There’s two different concepts in interface design: utility (i.e. can it do what you need it to) and usability (i.e. how easy and effective to use is it).
With utility/“less functionality” I was thinking about people saying they have to still open Control Panel because the “new” Settings still can’t do everything Control Panel can do after what, 12 years?
the Settings app, which offers a more modern and streamlined experience.
tl: “modern” means “less usable UI” and “streamlined” means “less functionality”
Sure, it has to be done with user interaction, but that doesn’t mean it has to be through the stock apps, which is what the article says you will be able to replace here.
What I’m saying is, for this to actually work, they do have to expose these APIs to allow developers to write a custom dialer and messages app. I think the only thing remotely related there is right now is CallKit which is kind of the other way around (integrates non-phone calls into the stock dialer).
you’ll also be able to switch to a different default for phone calls, messaging
Whoa, this is interesting tbh. I don’t think calls/messages is something they really expose at the moment for developers, do they?
Personally I don’t really care, the default apps are good and I don’t even know what you would want to replace the dialer for, but it’s nice that you can.
Imagine iOS getting the capability to have third party RCS messengers before (non rooted) Android though. Lmao
They used to have people who knew what they were doing: https://socket3.wordpress.com/2018/02/03/designing-windows-95s-user-interface/
Now their UI team seems to just be two guys shitting in a bucket (shamelessly stealing that expression from KiraTV).
Screw chrome tbh. You can always embed https://github.com/niutech/jxl.js on the page as a fallback decoder for browsers that don’t support it (yet).
JPEG XL is awesome. I got 1/8 of the size converting (very small, like 800kB) PNGs to lossless JXL.
GIMP can open them I think, but can’t save them. ImageMagick supports it obviously and so does KDE’s image library so I get previews there and whatnot.
It really depends on what you want to use them with imo, if you view them in a specific program and that supports it, go for it.
How about GNU M4 + Make (output)?
(to be clear this is a joke suggestion. but yes it is what I legitimately use)
