in what formfactors? as phones or in other devices (TV,..) ? would be interested in seeing examples. I wonder about the Chinese android scene, haven't had much insight. Actually just yesterday built an old 3.10 spreadtrum kernel

from termux I use mosh (and wireguard) to attach to a tmux session at home, how the latest build is doing and give it a nudge if it makes sense. Helps to leave the house for good weather and worry about failing builds later. Even with on-screen keyboard tmux can be handled, though I bought a little bluetooth keyboard

I was wondering about the contents of the site sudonull.com - seemed a mixed bag, not a tech blog. Apparently it's translated repost from habr.com - both sites serve from different networks, so I'm not sure they're legitimately affiliated, but could very well be.

if I compare the one dimensional threads of twitter with tree-rendered threads, I find the conversations emerging to be different, on HN and reddit. Of course head topic/subreddit play into the nature of the discussion, my impression is I walk away with having consumed more voices. It's less personal in absence of avatar images, less face-to-face with the top-bottom reply view in twitter. Classical BBS forums have the same disadvantage.

I'm intrigued by lots of users using a federated system and curious how it works out and I look forward to read activitypub distributed posts tree rendered.

it is remarkable that by virtue of the Apache License and GPL a group of custom rom developers gather to take device ownership in all their incarnations. Product direction of Aosp is all with Google though, no doubt - but it's quite something

directory context is quite an argument, I assume I can jump back into the directory with the line both - not just get the cli+args?

(Btw I read the util name in Sean Connerys voice)

Debian has hidden appeal. Distribution tooling languages center around the era the they started out, it takes a group of mixed generations to do slow reform. If you worry you can get involved

I had no success finding a higher level doc stating the reasons for hiding Addons behind collections for mobile firefox. I searched the MozillaWiki and github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix. Battery Optimization and Performance come to mind, but I'd like to read more into it if somebody can give me pointers

made me curious how many search queries I'm doing: averaging 2000/month:

    sqlite3 ~/.mozilla/firefox/*default*/places.sqlite "select strftime('%Y/%m', last_visit_date/1000000, 'unixepoch') as yearmonth, substr(p.url,9,14) as search_backend,count(1) as hits from moz_places p where (p.url like 'https://duckduckgo%' or p.url like 'https://www.google.%/search%' or p.url like 'https://www.qwant%') group by search_backend,yearmonth order by yearmonth asc,hits desc;"

add any search engine you use with another 'p.url like'

there's send by mail" functionality in Kobos via Pocket, but it would need you to spoof the sender for attribution ( https://help.getpocket.com/article/1020-saving-to-pocket-via... ) and the account to whitelist the email address prior. My impression towards "pocketed" hn-links is they're crawled once and not refreshed - so you miss out on many comments if the article was already cached when it had only a few comments.

thanks for the pointer! As ten-thousands before me I just had the epiphany that phones need to be more like Apple-IIs or a web-inspector, where you drop to a development environment / shell to edit and create your own apps

the author warns to not forward to the internet. I guess there are homerouters out there isolating each client.

I agree that wireguard is the way. Besides tailscale, a bit of config autogeneration goes a long way there - easy-wg-quick and friends

yes, it's an eye opener. "chat(view) over smtp" has untapped potential - against all obituary writers of email.

from the NAT64 gateway in the thread I learned from ipv4 mapped ipv6 addresses

this was interesting, war poems in times of war. It must be dreadful.

But on another page - the text is embedded in what seems to be a seo op, the war of index position, clicks and which of the best 15 Sonoma Wineries you should visit in 2022 - I wonder what the poetry is on that.

I guess the original text is at https://spotterup.com/war-poetry-randall-jarrell/

the road to nowhere is proprietary firmware for hardware, not if it's running an aosp customrom or gnu/linux. I wanted to make this distinction as your parent comment read as if the gnu/linux part is a precondition. I agree on the downside of having less or no say in android product direction, but it's up to the firmware (and carriers frankly as they control the mobile towers) when obsolescence for a device happens.

firefox has 'network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy' to send referer depending on domain

0 - no restrictions (default), 1 - base domain match, 2 - fqdn match

there's irony in having "degoogled" Phones built upon a platform that is at the technical discretion of Google, but you'd discount a lot of mindshare that grew around Android to say GNU/Linux is the only way long term. I don't know if the community could sustain a AOSP hardfork (or if it's necessary), but combining a mainline kernel with open firmware is a possibility for Android handhelds too.

the forks create a great burden of keeping them up to date, and they can't keep up of course with constrained resources. Though it gives them independence to achieve orthogonal goals.

Having default apps colors aligned is soothing, not sad at all. It's not iOS-y beyond the launcher.

fyi, those are from the same person, see https://homebrewheadphones.com/build/

Debian testing/unstable deserves more user and developer influx from Ubuntu castaways.

Googles change to debian-testing reflects my own rite of distribution passage. I used manual /etc/apt/sources.list upgrades within Ubuntu so often, after Unity was abandoned, there was no reason to stay on Canonicals flavour.

After a year on testing I went to unstable and subscribe to bugs affecting me from time to time. Usually there's either quickly a workaround or a flatpak as last resort. Not something I'd install on the family pc, but testing or unstable is a good choice for developers.

Contributing to Debian and adjacent projects like GNOME and freedesktop.org got easier (or standardized?) since they all run a gitlab instance each.

redirecting to alt-frontends as much as adblocking gives me pause to what the Web has come to: a niche of users browse a usable web, others not in the know and especially on mobile are driven to use the platforms Apps, distributed via a device duopoly

https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector - I prefer it over Libredirect too as it can replace other Addons. Alternative frontends is not a surprising development, as the "web today" has gotten quite user hostile.

Last I checked it hasn't got a list of rules to be imported to get you started, here are mine - https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sFBptpgGRX/

yes it is, I saw it emerge left and right and welcomed the resurgence. Though I prefer tree thread representation I can understand the advantage to simplify to linear. I'd love for some classic "bb"-style forums to migrate, skip the extensive userinfo, skip the usersigs (but continuing to use the old urls of course), it would bring them new users.

as is stated initially, that goes back to how bitnami is building its Docker images, basing on a set of debian packages (minideb) - there's also a shell library/framework embedded that does useful things, but that makes you read more code when you go check how the sausage is made. That minideb is the basis for the higher CVE count compared to scratch or alpine images.

> it’s a well-kept secret that no one wants to talk about

the maintainer side most casual docker image users aren't aware of I'd rephrase, but bitnami at least documents the issue

having the luxury of scrutinizing the method and retesting: to "normalize" domains and skip the www skewed results - not all websites do their redirects across apex to www (and schemas). Some servers weren't answering the request with the default curl accept header / and needed encouragement.

I retested the 000 class of .de ccTLD (1227) and found more than a third (473) of them answering when prefixed with www. Lots of german universities were false negatives - if this is representative I cannot tell, just a hint to retest.

thanks for your clarification. With custom roms there is at least user control on system apps and their permissions.

tanka helped me make peace with k8s (yaml) or at least made for a good learning environment for k8s than the other options. Wonder about other peoples experience or their rite of config tool passage

on paper (Android 8 and up) has the always-on type VPN that blocks any network connection not using the vpn (disallows bypass). Didn't poke it yet how it works if multiple apps create VPNs, I assume only one VPN of this type can be active

it helped me to understand the authors motivation by reading his 5 year old post on the esp32 https://blog.drorgluska.com/2017/09/esp32-as-professional-gr...
