The CM4 is roughly an order of magnitude faster than the PSP

I'm surprised Github even respond to DMCA claims rather than passing the buck like they do for GDPR*. Perhaps they are more respectful to home laws

*They wash their hands of any GDPR deletion/anonymisation requests, instead passing them and your identity documents to the repository owner!

I’d go so far as to say A/B testing should be regulated against. It’s a slimy behaviour and a failure of capitalism. A real world comparison is buying a used product that has been repaired with sub-par parts, and unless you have another one to compare against, you might just think that’s how they all are

Don't know why this was downvoted, it is the only zen garden like example I've come across. Multiple completely transformative CSS themes for user selection, not just light/dark/colourisation of the same layout

For some reason this is a thing on almost every private torrent tracker

I'd love a Kodi theme with the design and responsiveness of the Jellyfin Roku app but sadly nothing I've tried has come close. I always end up going back to the default Kodi theme - it's ugly but it works.

(I'd jump to Roku or Apple TV on my main setup in a heartbeat if they supported DV 7 FEL and all audio passthrough formats.)

See CoreELEC/LibreELEC/etc - totally replaces the (potentially dodgy) Android OS on these kind of streaming boxes with a stripped down Linux+Kodi setup

TVs running Roku or WebOS do have nice control APIs

It still blows my mind that no OLED TV has yet added simple temporal blending between frames, the kind of which MPV has had for decades. They could even take it a step further and emulate the colour-dependent blending of LCD screens. But no instead it's the same terrible motion interpolation algorithms of 15+ years ago, or nothing.

What >100mbps content is there? 4K bluray just needs a bigger buffer to handle >100mbps spikes (Kodi for example offers this) and Moonlight/Apollo/etc is well into diminishing returns

I solved mine by chronically exposing myself to very low noise during sleep - wearing good earplugs in an already silent room. To the point where you can hear your eyeballs move etc. I guess this may be where the link to good sleep comes from, which implies a quiet sleeping environment

A bug(?) exists to disable liquid ass on the Home Screen that still works in 26.3 - enable Reduce Motion globally in accessibility settings, then add a per app accessibility override for “Home Screen & App Library” with Reduce Motion off, then reboot. Somehow this disables liquid ass throughout the Home Screen, back to iOS 18 gaussian blurs

Yeah it’s more of an annoyance for sure. I only discovered it was a thing when intentionally MITMing a domain on my router

Even with default https etc, HSTS still adds some defence against MITM - browsers won’t let you even forcibly accept a self signed certificate

I’m always surprised people pick Lua when Pawn exists. I think I’d even still choose it over MicroQuickJS

My solution to this is a pair of udp ports relayed to each other on a VPS via socat. Then you can point a home WireGuard server (behind cgnat etc) at one, and clients at the other, with no need to trust the vps

While I do like tone controls, I'm skeptical of the argument of adjusting bass/treble based on volume, e.g. the likes of 'Dynamic EQ' in D&M receivers. It has always sounded like it is doubling up something that my brain is already doing

Not a Ruby/Rails person, but from a quick look there are still APIs named exactly the same between those versions. Very nice to see

On the other hand, Laravel decided to change from snake_case to CamelCase between versions 3 and 4, just because. Literally 0% compatibility

It's on PHP 7.4, so between RHEL and CloudLinux there's another few years left in it, before I weigh up rewrite vs another round of hacking modern PHP support into Laravel 3

Still maintaining a Laravel 3 project. Barely made it 2 years before maintainability became a nightmare and the only upgrade path was complete rewrite. Projects written without an opinionated framework easily sail past 10 years of comfy maintainability

You can see their panic - in my country they are running TV ads for Google search, showing it answering LLM-prompt-like queries. They are desperately trying to win back that mind share, and if they lose traditional keyword search too they’re cooked

Nice, gives me Pawn vibes

>Full-text search is entirely client side (not via IMAP)

Setting up server-side Xapian full-text search and disabling the crap client-side one in Thunderbird was one of the best improvements I made to my email usability. What makes your client-side search better? It's usually not speed I'm looking for, but rather precision, such as double quoted phrases (sorely missing from Thunderbird's client-side search), filtering by a mixture of things, etc.

I wish more clients had an option for server-side-only search (looking at you, iOS Mail.app) and/or had a nice UI for it (ctrl+shift+f dialog in Thunderbird is janky but gets results)

It's nice to see them add an option to disable this behaviour, now if only we could get an option to include Signal messages in iOS backups...

Not sure either of those capture the nuance of bad humour… ‘bad sense of humour’ can imply not finding anything funny or taking offence to jokes. ‘Bad humour’ in this context implies bad at being humorous, e.g telling dad jokes

Lightning ports very rarely fail or get loose - it’s more robust than usb-c in that regard, which is already a high bar - it’s probably dust in the port

Works fine on iOS safari, two finger drag to move

Turning off the firewall could just as easily be a unnoticed configuration error that causes it to die on startup

Parent poster is making the (good and underrated) point that NAT makes this logic failsafe: Turn an IPv6 firewall off and you’ve got all incoming connections allowed. Turn IPv4 NAT off and you’ve got no connectivity at all

The source sentence on cheese.com was: "It is the most popular Dutch cheese in the world, accounting for 50 to 60% of the world's cheese consumption."

The glorified autocomplete failed to detect the nuance in this (admittedly poorly written) sentence that the 50-60% statistic was of the world's Dutch cheese consumption
