hexagonwin··on F-Droid 2.0
not the person you replied to, but i'm staying on Android 8 and 11 as long as i can.
hexagonwin··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
would you mind sharing such other tool?
hexagonwin··on We found a division by zero bug in FFmpeg with a vibecoded fuzzer
it's putting full load on my 6core 11th gen i5 machine for more than a minute. i just closed it..
hexagonwin··on Initial focus for our partnership with Motorola is a regular non-folding device
i believe that's not this Motorola (the phone company under Lenovo)
hexagonwin··on uBlock Origin is giving up the fight to keep ads off Facebook
video autoplay can be blocked in firefox with a builtin feature, though i can't test if it works for facebook
hexagonwin··on Goodhart's Law Comes for Every Benchmark You Trust
lmao, even GPTzero gives 100% on a snippet I copied. (from "Here is the constructive turn" to "and slower is what we can actually buy.)
hexagonwin··on NetBSD 11.0
wasn't that around gcc4 or something era? gcc12 is pretty new
hexagonwin··on Reynard: A real Firefox web browser for iOS 13 or later
it's already working really well on my iOS 13 iPhone SE. the safari on this version struggles to render any 'modern' website these days, this browser works perfectly and I can even use uBlock Origin with it.

funny, but it seems false. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/made-in-usa/
hexagonwin··on Ask HN: Any good replacements for "Refined Hacker News?"
the addon also seems to support firefox, switching the browser could be a solution
hexagonwin··on Xsnow "protestware" in Debian
it is in upstream. but the debian package maintainer is also the upstream maintainer.
hexagonwin··on HN Returning "Sorry."
same here. in my case it happens when accessing from a link of a specific item, the frontpage and login page opens without any issue. after logging in the issue is gone.
hexagonwin··on Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot
thanks. i just checked and it seems like i was mistaken, the one i own now is a t60 not a t61. seems like it's already supported, gotta try installing coreboot on it.
hexagonwin··on Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot
awesome! hopefully T61 can also get some support soon..

these machines are amazing, but sadly they're showing signs of age these days. mine's already kinda unusable due to dim CCFL backlight and fan grinding noise.

hexagonwin··on Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot
i don't think it's really "far behind", it just can't run on hardwares that require manufacturer keys (e.g. intel bootguard)

afaik all modern x86 chromebooks ship with coreboot based firmware

hexagonwin··on Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot
everything except graphics driver would probably actually work with 98SE..

Win2000 or WinXP would be a better choice due to numerous reasons though. Win2K with an SSD is absolutely going to fly on that thing.

hexagonwin··on Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot
most linux/bsd you can throw at it would just work fine. i personally like tinycore linux and porteus linux, they unpack the rootfs to ram so overall interaction with the system feels insanely quick on very underpowered systems with HDDs.
hexagonwin··on Chuwi Minibook X
hardware support is provided by the linux kernel, it should be fine. if there's issues one could just switch kernels..

8gb is plenty. i've ran tinycore on machines with 512MB or less

hexagonwin··on Chuwi Minibook X
maybe try a linux distro like tinycore or porteus? it puts the rootfs in ram so things run insanely fast, and sync changes to disk before shutdown
hexagonwin··on Reddit Is Blocking Some Users from Accessing Its Website from Mobile Devices
i legit couldn't tell it aside from the sketchy link. this is getting scary.
hexagonwin··on Reddit Is Blocking Some Users from Accessing Its Website from Mobile Devices
i believe you linked something else

edit: the parent commenter's comment history looks weird; constantly linking to that url. is this a bot i'm replying to?

hexagonwin··on Explore Wikipedia Like a Windows XP Desktop
wikipedia is fine, and you can still use vector or even monobook skins. try adding ?useskin=monobook at the end of the url
hexagonwin··on Google broke reCAPTCHA for de-googled Android users
for a short time i had warcprox sitting behind my firefox and auto feeding its output to pywb, it seemed to work but i had connections failing randomly after having warcprox running for more than a few hours~days. not sure if it's an issue with pywb or warcprox but there were some urls missing that i did browse on firefox, and many dynamic pages couldn't be replayed at all.
hexagonwin··on Wikipedia deprecates Archive.today, starts removing archive links
they silently ran the DDoS script on their captcha page (which is frequently shown to visitors, even when simply viewing and not archiving a new page)

RIP
hexagonwin··on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
Is this open source? Would be cool to self host this..
hexagonwin··on LineageOS 23.2
are there any examples of such device that got a recent version of LineageOS ported with the mainline kernel? it seemed like there's almost no android phone with mature enough support in the mainline kernel, and most android custom roms just backport needed functionality to old downstream vendor kernels.
hexagonwin··on LineageOS 23.2
Just noticed you mention already updating, in that case check for the bootloader version of the current firmware, if Samsung didn't bump the number (for anti rollback) yet you can get back to previous version.
hexagonwin··on LineageOS 23.2
you can use a treble GSI rom, I use one for two of my devices that lack community features and all the features work. Just make sure to not get OneUI8 that blocks bootloader unlock.
hexagonwin··on Oneplus phone update introduces hardware anti-rollback
true, but I believe these bricked oneplus devices can also be revived from 9008 (EDL) if they can find the qualcomm firehorse loader file.
