FredFS456··on DNS over SMS, send a text message to 1(833)672-1001
I think iodine uses records that wouldn't fit in a single SMS. I'm not sure whether cloudflare supports splitting records over multiple SMS's...
FredFS456··on Jeff Bezos unveils a lunar lander and BE-7 rocket engine
Neither Neuralink, The Boring Company, nor Tesla has 'failed' yet.
FredFS456··on Thousands take to Hong Kong streets to protest new extradition laws
Hong Kong has not been a true democracy for a long time. The elections are rigged by the use of "special interest seats" in parliament (I'm not sure if this is the official translation) which are overwhelmingly won by the party that is backed by mainland China.
FredFS456··on VPN services blocked in Sri Lanka as information controls tighten
Algo is better than Streisand. https://github.com/trailofbits/algo
FredFS456··on Setting Up an Ad-Blocking VPN with WireGuard and Pihole
Pihole is much more configurable: you can whitelist or blacklist domains with ease. However, Pihole can also be run on existing hardware like a home server, if you don't want a standalone pi.
FredFS456··on Setting Up an Ad-Blocking VPN with WireGuard and Pihole
In my experience, the OpenWRT adblock package is not as powerful as Pihole. It's also annoying (involving some awk scripting) to add new lists that weren't added by the dev.
FredFS456··on Smoke seen for miles as SpaceX Crew Dragon suffers anomaly at Cape Canaveral
It's standard speak in the space industry, not marketing.
FredFS456··on Virtual I/O Device (Virtio) Version 1.1
What's changed?
FredFS456··on Intel Exiting 5G Modems
Only if the firmware implements the algorithms. OpenWRT is your best bet for this: I have it running on a TL-WDR3600 quite well.
FredFS456··on OpenSSD – Open-Source Solid State Drive (SSD)
503. Hacker news effect?
FredFS456··on CopperheadOS Release: Android 9
... yeah if it's not the original coder at the helm I wouldn't trust them anymore.
FredFS456··on CopperheadOS Release: Android 9
Wait, this is still alive? I thought they died because of politics between the two founders.
FredFS456··on BoringTun, a Userspace WireGuard Implementation in Rust
Jason also sent an email to the WireGuard mailing list addressing this. [1] In the email, he stated that Cloudflare repeated refused to work directly with him and his team as part of the upstream project.

FredFS456··on Telegram gets 3M new signups during Facebook apps’ outage
Whatsapp doesn't operate as a standalone client either.
FredFS456··on Running a Bakery on Emacs and PostgreSQL
Rewrite the output logic with PyAutoGUI doing the keyboard shortcuts and grade typing? https://pyautogui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
FredFS456··on AMD Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X CPU Review
Last time I checked, Proxmox supports passthrough pretty well. It's just using qemu/kvm under the hood anyway.
FredFS456··on What Happened to the 100000 Hour LED Bulbs?
I don't know about you, but I had long switched to CFL's before LED bulbs came around. CFLs are definitely not as efficient as LEDs, but at least they're still a fraction of the power that incandescent bulbs use.
FredFS456··on A cheaper, smaller Raspberry Pi 3 is now available
Yes, https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberry...

You can also PXE boot without an SD card, which may be best for file system durability.

FredFS456··on Bitwarden Completes Third-Party Security Audit
Maybe bring that issue to Bitwarden's attention on GitHub or other channels, and not just a comment here on HN?
FredFS456··on What’s Hiding in Your PDF?
Sort of related, the company whose website this blog post is on makes the best Android PDF reader, and it's free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pspdfkit.v...

(Disclaimer: I am not associated with the company)

FredFS456··on TinyTeX: A lightweight and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution
Sharelatex merged with (was bought by?) Overleaf a while ago. Now we're just down to using Overleaf v2.
FredFS456··on Honda will use GM’s self-driving technology, invests in Cruise
If it's a fully-owned subsidiary you could draft a contract of licensing in exchange for a token $1 or something like that. (Or is there regulatory oversight?)
FredFS456··on Ikarus electric “rocket” – Thrust-vectored flying ducted fan [video]
Quadcopters never have variable pitch props, they just vary the speed of them to vary thrust. Moreover, thrust from the bottom or top doesn't really matter (look up the Pendulum Rocket Fallacy)
FredFS456··on UPDuino: a $9.99 FPGA
At $10 shipped I'd just get a new one. I don't think there's any reasonable expectation of support here.
FredFS456··on Former Tesla Firmware Engineer Discusses the System
NI's cRIO devices use a real-time variant of Linux.

FredFS456··on A Dutch first: Ingenious BMW theft attempt
I believe Telsas have a minimal OBD-II port (where mandated by law) but mostly use an Ethernet port for debugging/service.
FredFS456··on Security Begins at the Home Router
I believe that the ER-X doesn't scale to gigabit symmetric, while the EdgeRouter Lite does.
FredFS456··on Intel patches new ME vulnerabilities
There's also the leaked NSA "high assurance" bit, that completely disables the ME. Also included in the excellent me_cleaner tool.
FredFS456··on Suspend for the X1 Carbon 2018 on Linux
I'm assuming they're speculating/exaggerating.
FredFS456··on Mark Zuckerberg and his empire of oily rags
Any more info (eg. tools + source) on how to pee in their datasets?
