erinnh··on Don't use NameCheap for the .fr TLD
For .eu yes.

But I also mentioned .to and .ag for example where this is not the case.

Both are ccTLDs that have no such requirements. There are others as well.

erinnh··on Don't use NameCheap for the .fr TLD
Yes, that is what I meant. That you need to be a citizen of the EU.

Sorry if I wrote it in a way that was easily misunderstood.

The point was that its not the case for all ccTLDs.

erinnh··on Don't use NameCheap for the .fr TLD
Hope you don’t mean Gandi. That went downhill even faster than namecheap.

erinnh··on Don't use NameCheap for the .fr TLD
Any address in the EU (or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Lichtenstein) works as well.
erinnh··on Don't use NameCheap for the .fr TLD
Some countries require you to either be a citizen or have a business there, yes. But it’s definitely not the case for all ccTLDs.

some ccTLDs in the EU require you to be a citizen in any EU country. (So .fr or .eu for example)

Examples of the latter are for example .to or .ag, that do not have such requirement.

erinnh··on LG washing machine sending 3.7GB of data a day
Definitively possible. It’s what I do with my dumb washing machine. Just have your home automation tool of choice notify you if power draw moves below 5w or something.
erinnh··on Non-interactive SSH password authentication
I’ve always been told that ssh is not supposed to work non-interactively. Which is the whole reason for sshpass, to work non-interactively. Ie. Broken by design.
erinnh··on Beeper vs. Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation
It seems we have very differing definitions of "barely".

Apple has more than double the market share that Samsung does.

The EU considers any party that has more than 40% of market share to be in a dominant market position.

This isn't directly relatable to the USA, of course, but it shows that its far from "clear cut".

erinnh··on Beeper vs. Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation
This has Apple at over 50%:

This does as well:

I would’ve been highly surprised if Samsung and Apple were head-to-head in the USA.

erinnh··on Quest 2 is outselling Quest 3
The obvious one is Beat Saber, but in general there’s simply less app support for pico compared to Quest.

There’s still stuff, so for now I’m perfectly happy with it.

Just have a look at the sidequest store for a direct comparison between software that support quest and pico.

I’m mostly using it for fitness related apps right now.

Hitstream, Beat Labs (Beat Saber clone).

erinnh··on Quest 2 is outselling Quest 3
I bought it on eBay in Germany.

No idea how prices are where ever you are.

erinnh··on Quest 2 is outselling Quest 3
This is the reason why I went with a Pico 4 for now.

It has flexible IPD and a better screen than the Quest 2, and only cost me 200€.

The ecosystem is worse with less apps, but for getting my feet wet it’s ample.

erinnh··on Does uBlock Origin bypass the latest YouTube anti-adblock script?
I’d also be willing to pay for YouTube, if it ever splits from Google.

Definitely not giving Google any money.

erinnh··on Three gaming-focused Linux operating systems beat Windows 11 in gaming benchmark
Do be aware though that many modern games with anti cheat will not run in Windows VMs. It was the reason why I deleted my Windows VM last year.
erinnh··on Roundcube open-source webmail software merges with Nextcloud
Good to hear.

More support for Roundcube, while Nextcloud gets a better Email client than the current one.

erinnh··on Choose the browser that best suits your privacy needs
It’s the original project that the original developer gave to somebody else, but then decided to continue working on the project anyway under the „Origin“ moniker.

At some point ublock was sold and to quote Wikipedia: „since February 2019, uBlock began allowing users to participate in "Acceptable Ads",[21][22] a program run by Adblock Plus that allows some ads which are deemed "acceptable", and for which the larger publishers pay a fee.“

erinnh··on PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support
What’s your point? You didn’t make it.

Before you said that your point was that people tell you you aren’t supposed to do those things. But you are able to remap your keys.

Remapping keys has been possible in Wayland for quite a while in any compositor I used. (KDE, Gnome, Sway)

erinnh··on PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support
Are you talking about changing keymaps or just different keymaps?

The last you setup in your DE and the first you use xkb as before. (Or at least that’s how I did it before)

erinnh··on Grimoire: Open-Source bookmark manager with extra features
I don't think the point is they will stop searching.

But they will search less. Which, as we have seen in the recent Google anti-trust case, is also a point Google looks at intensively when they introduce new features.

erinnh··on Nothing's iMessage app was a security catastrophe, taken down in 24 hours
There are open source bridges for iMessage. So I’m not convinced they did.

Example: https://github.com/mautrix/imessage

erinnh··on Nothing's iMessage app was a security catastrophe, taken down in 24 hours
I don’t know what extra features Beeper has, but I’ve been hosting my own Signal/Telegram bridges for 2 years now.

And it’s been working fine with Element as client.

erinnh··on Microsoft lays hands on login data: Beware of the new Outlook
This isn’t even true for every webmail.

Some run locally in the browser.

Many don’t send the credentials to be saved cloud-side.

erinnh··on Home Assistant blocked from integrating with Garage Door opener API
I moved away from the Lidl Zigbee stuff.

It was just too low quality. Motion sensors would activate later and/or less than other vendors etc. Stuff like that.

Ikea is great, Aqara and Sonoff works well as well. They arent much more expensive (if at all) than the Lidl stuff either.

erinnh··on Google Pays $21B for Search Monopoly: How "Free" Tech Markets Repress
I don’t know where you live, but you can’t seriously tell me that media such as Bild is pro Ampel. (Our current government)
erinnh··on The next frontier in IP parasites: codec royalties on content
How does it shift the power from employees to companies?

I get your argument for non employed individuals.

But employees basically never retain their rights to the code they’ve written while employed.

erinnh··on EU data regulator bans personalised advertising on Facebook and Instagram
The practice has been very controversial in the EU ever since GDPR took effect.

It’s simply that nobody has been sued to the end for it yet.

erinnh··on Show HN: JellyBox – Jellyfin Desktop Client
It was posted here as well, for example.

Its not a good idea to go off of what one person has seen to make a judgement on what "exists" on the internet.

Its the same issue people have had with reposts on Reddit. Even after 10+ reposts on Reddit, somebody will not have seen it. People arent terminally online, generally.

erinnh··on Show HN: JellyBox – Jellyfin Desktop Client
> this is probably the first time i've even seen it mentioned on the internet since.

> since a few weeks ago they made a post crying about how their developer mindshare has been dwindling as of late.

Not the first time you've seen them since then, then.

It wasn't really a "as of late" issue. They have had an issue with too few developers since at least last year. I've seen a similar thread on the subreddit you mentioned before as well.

erinnh··on Bandcamp's Entire Union Bargaining Team Was Laid Off
They are.

What I was taught in macroeconomics in this topic (excuse me if I get something wrong, it’s been a few years)

In general it’s very expected unemployment to „generally“ be higher in Germany.

Because it’s harder to fire people here, people also get hired somewhat slower. However in the flip side it’s also expected that during harsh economic times people will be fired less because of how „hard“ it is to hire people.

So it’s a trade-off.
