That’s it, I’m rewatching

Been a long time, all I remember is the bicycle kid, pure snow and the international language at this point.

I’m where you were, I think. Not religious or married young, but the whole “I’m pregnant” talk was very unexpected considering she was supposedly on the pill. She proceeded to manipulate me into taking more and more debt, to the point I think I had to lie about my expenses to get the last few loans. She was never really there for the kids (one from before me). When she said she’d take care of them during the day so I could work, she meant she’d scroll TikTok on the couch. So I worked at night, slept 2-3 hours per night for a long time till I gave up on the whole thing and said we’re going to split up and our daughter’s going to live with me.

I wish I could get a well-educated schoolteacher as an au pair. I can make about 3 national median salaries on my own, 4-6 if I work hard for the right clients… But doing it with a one year old at home is freaking impossible and with the stress of being unable to finish projects I’m not as active as attentive a dad as I should be either.

But au pairs aren’t really a huge thing here. We’re a source country for au pairs, not target. I could hire someone on a schedule basis, but that involves actually planning my work and life, very difficult with ADHD.

Interesting, here in Estonia, a housewarming party is called a salt-bread party. Some people still gift the bread and salt, but it’s uncommon nowadays.

Engineer here, I can definitely count to 10 tho

0 1 10

For the average person, 20-100k is a life changing windfall. If that’s not you, then I completely understand not understanding why a lot of people would take it.

iOS started doing this a year or 2 ago, but unfortunately it’s 3 days and not configurable

They’re not in memory until the first unlock, that’s why there’s the AFU vs BFU distinction for cellebrite unlocking devices incl iPhones.

But as the other person said, they can seize your phone and refuse entry. If you need to travel to the USA annually and you don’t want them to see your shit, you may want to have a decoy phone that’s not logged into your real accounts or have many photos on it. Just enough to make it believable it’s your real phone, but not enough to help them forge anything on you.

I literally started watching after a thread about warp speeds on reddit. Someone mentioned the TNG episode where the Enterprise hit Warp 10, watched it, liked it, watched all of TNG, decided I’m not gonna watch every show because there’s just too many.

Is it objectively more valuable?

I’d say if performance and functionality remain the same it improve and complexity is reduced then the 2kloc codebase is better

If it’s 2k lines of perl, it’s worse

Though in his case it sounds like he reduced complexity and improved performance, so definitely better.

I don’t know if I’ve even written -2000 lines at once, but I’ve definitely done -700 or so at least. Feels so good to delete a bunch of code without any loss in functionality.

When people complain about software being monetized and closed instead of everything being FOSS and I say people want to put food on their tables… This is exactly why. Most of the projects that have a good deal of recurring donations are some form of productivity software. Companies or freelancers use them to make money on a daily basis and decide to give back a bit, to ensure that their software continues being developed (large corporate donors sometimes also get a say in what features are prioritized).

Nobody sets up a recurring donation for a neat bit of software that makes life easier, but isn’t making the user any money.

It’s GPL, just like the Fediverse prefers it. Single most recommended launcher in the Linux gaming community in recent years. And the owner makes €100 a month off it. AND there are people in this very thread saying people shouldn’t donate to it because you could instead fund Wine development by buying a Crossover license (yay, proprietary software). Then another unrelated comment pointing out you can donate directly to Wine too. Then another comment saying they don’t like how FOSS projects often don’t disclose where the money’s going.

Well guess what, open source devs want money so they’d no longer be dependent on their soul-sucking corporate day jobs and have more time to develop neat open source software. Open source devs are often overworked and some receive a lot of abuse for not spending more time on their open source projects. Orchestrated abuse for not spending enough time on his open source project is how the author of xz was pressured to give maintainer status to what turned out to be a nation state level actor trying to integrate a backdoor into everyone’s Linux systems.

The open source community is abusive towards open source maintainers, really. I’m honestly glad I only have some small contributions to my name, and no large projects to maintain.

To be clear: No, I’m not any better when it comes to donations. I’m more likely to pay for proprietary software than to donate to an open source project I use. Same goes for most people I reckon. That’s why, while open source is awesome, actually being an open source dev sucks.

But also making traffic safer

Think we need to introduce a mandatory period where you need to drive an old car with no ABS when you’ve just gotten your license. I mean for me that was called being a broke-ass student, but nowadays cars with no ABS are starting to cost more than cars with ABS, traction control and even ESP, because the 80s and early 90s cars where these things were optional, are now classics, whereas you can get a BMW or Audi that was made this century for like 500-800 euros if you’re brave or just want to move in to your garage full time.

USB 4 Version 2.0

Oh for fuck’s sake. So that’s newer and has more bandwidth than USB4 gen2 and gen3, right?

At least we got away from the USB 3.x where 3.0 and 3.2 Gen 1x1 were the same thing, despite 3.0 and 3.2 having a 9 year gap between them so you kinda expected 3.2 to be faster, but it was only faster if it was an x2 flavor, so 3.2 gen 1x2 was the faster version (extra lane for data) of 3.0 and 3.2 gen 2x2 was the faster version of 3.1 I guess?

Whoever at USB-IF is in charge of this versioning needs to take a long walk off a short pier.

Man I’ve nearly thrown things away because of this. Things where I would’ve been too lazy to pursue a warranty claim, but still pissed that they didn’t work.

Try multiple chargers and cables and it just won’t charge. Try USB-A brick with A to C cable and it starts charging. Fucking hell.

Ooh nice.

The same author has an Apple Watch BIOS face too

I liked YouTrack. Only used it as a dev, not a manager or tech support though. But from what I saw, everyone seemed at least OK with it and some people were downright happy to use it.

It’s free for up to 10 users and available as a docker image, in case you want to try it out before committing, or pitching it to higher-ups. Cloud version is available too of course.

They are raising prices in October though. Not sure how it’ll compare to Jira or how it does now, I’ve never had to pay for either myself.

Yes. They (cellebrite) don’t mention GrapheneOS support very loudly because it’s poor. They can’t decrypt one that’s BFU (Before First Unlock), not even by brute force if it’s a 6 digit passcode apparently. Don’t know if they can get data from an AFU GOS pixel. A year ago when their internal docs leaked, they also had no support for latest iOS at the time, but had brute force support for older versions as long as phone itself wasn’t too new and had AFU access without brute force for even older versions.

Moral of the story: if there’s a chance police might take your phone to investigate for a crime you hopefully didn’t even commit, shut down your phone completely - the 5x power button trick on iOS disables biometric unlock, but the device itself stays decrypted and thus more vulnerable. Also keep your OS up to date.

If you’ve got a phone that’s neither iOS nor GrapheneOS, it’s probably pretty much Swiss cheese anyway. IOS isn’t as good as GrapheneOS either, but it offers some protection against Cellebrite if up to date and BFU. But if they keep your phone for long enough (months, years), they’ll get it unlocked because you can’t install updates that would patch any newly discovered vulnerabilities and one day they’ll find a BFU unlock for it, probably.
