Firefox on Android asks after the second alert if I want to prevent the page from opening further dialogs which I can select to silence it.

I currently run a home server on a librem laptop where I broke the lid and can't be opened anymore without breaking it further (I tried to repair it, but since some parts broke mechanically I couldn't really fix it)

Works kinda nice and is completely silent most of the time.

I guess one advantage could be to better use browser caches for these things? If you visit multiple websites that include the same fonts or javascript libraries, the browser can reuse the cache for them.

According to the link you shared it's a bug in Xft and not st: > Please don't bother reporting this bug to st, but notify the upstream Xft developers about fixing this bug.

I suppose they mean free as in freedom, not free beer.

> What is the reason that we can thank for prion diseases not being much more common?

One reason is that we don't eat each other which would spread certain prion diseases like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)

Maybe I'm getting this wrong, but in my understanding is that since with this configuration it must be the same for T amd T-1 one and so must already exist from the beginning. There is no state other than itself that leads to it.

So the still image is already the animation of it ;)

I'd recommend to take a look at https://www.nushell.sh/ which has structured output, but displays it neatly when printing to the terminal.

My experience is that even non-standard ssh ports gets hundreds of login attempts on ssh per day.

I used https://watch.angelstudios.com/thechosen to stream it.

While there are thousands of "herbal teas", just "tea" refers to beverages made with the Camellia sinensis plant. See https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea

In the GitHub organization i-voted-for-trump it even states:

> This is a joke. You'll only see this org if you are attempting to troll me about repositories I created when I was learning to program

Die Ironie wenn das LIESMICH in Englisch ist.

The irony when the README is in English.

> The fundamental problem is pitch resolution and that isn’t really addressed by having a better protocol for representing pitch and intonation.

But having 32 instead of 7 bits for pitch will give better pitch resolution, no? Or am I misunderstanding something?

> So, if you're unwilling to use Google Play services (or us an OS which doesn't support it), you're fucked and will not receive background notifications.

I don't know about WhatsApp, but at least Telegram and Threema can fallback to polling if push notifications aren't available. With polling there is of course the trade off between battery usage and message delay, but you shouldn't miss any messages.

At least some of these things are kind of unrelated to how the audio signal arrives at the amplifier and are still an issue when connecting speakers to a bluetooth enabled amplifier.

For some time I was pretty annoyed that git was showing the new suggestions, but for some reasons my git autocomplete did not know about them and thus couldn't tab complete. (It was on ArchLinux with zsh using the grml zsh config).

After a few month the autocomplete got updated as well and I could actually use the new interface without to much frustration.

-b in checkout is short for "branch" while -c in switch is short for "create".

IMO the UI of git switch is much more intuitive, since the argument is always a branch and the default behavior is to switch to an existing branch. For slightly different behavior (like creating the branch first) there are flags.

So I think it's good that the flag for switch is a different one than for checkout, since the interface of git checkout was quite unintuitive IMO.

They have an entry in the FAQ about initramfs: https://kisslinux.org/faq#5.2

> KISS technically supports booting via an initramfs, it just doesn't require or provide one. As a user you have the means to set this up yourself for your system.

> Full disk encryption is also possible without the use of an initramfs in modern kernels (see dm-mod.create).

> The initramfs concept is an ugly, complicated and largely optional mess. Thank god it isn't a requirement.

> The 88s keys already cover almost the entire range of human hearing. Adding just one more octave (a few keys below and above the range) would basically cover it all.

This was surprising for me, I thought no way is this almost the range of hearing.

But a quick calculation showed it to be right: The range of human hearing is approximately from 20Hz to 20kHz which is ~10 octaves (20*2^10 ~= 20k). 10 octaves would need 120keys, so ~2.5 Octaves more than the 88 keys range.

This isn't the way I'd sort ls output by date or whatever field. I'd use `ls -l --sort=date` which I guess is what the GP meant with having every tool do their own sorting by field.

In nushell one can just do `ls | sort-by size`

Thanks for the link. The issue seems to be the IOAccelerator framework:

> I’ve narrowed it down quite a bit (and submitted it to Apple as FB9112835).

> What’s going on is that the IOAccelerator framework has some sort of massive leak in it, where it’s using up 35GB of ram, 25 of which is going to swap (which is why you’re seeing kernel_task flake out).

> On intel, the same image only uses 1480K from IOAccelerator.

I'm not sure if this is a joke or a legitimate concern about Threema. Care to elaborate?

> Then there is the embedded space where almost 40 years later trying to use C++ instead of C is still an uphill battle, between embedded development communities, tool vendors, debugging tools, available libraries.

I worked in embedded development for over 10 years and at every place it was the norm to use C++ instead of C internally. But when creating libraries for customers to use, these where almost always in C or at least with C bindings.

I guess the reason is that one can use C libraries in C++, but not the other way around.

In GitLab you can diff the states between force pushes of a branch, which is a feature I love and really miss when working on GitHub.

I hava a mkcd alias to create a directory and changing into it.

> And then they have the gall to sell the power adapter separately from the laptop, for an extra $59? What brand new laptop on earth doesn't come with an AC wall adapter/charger in the box?

This is a good thing IMO, since I already have two AC chargers which are compatible with the Librem 14: One from a Librem 13 and another from a Tuxedo laptop. Chargers stay alive a lot longer than laptops, so it's more sustainable of I can keep using them.

From the article

> With players able to win millions in gaming tournaments around the world, a crackdown on cheating has intensified in recent years.

Apparently cheats were used to win tournament prize money.

From the article:

> The gang designed and sold cheats to popular video games, including Overwatch and Call of Duty Mobile.

Maybe one could compare it to having different recipes for the same cake. Or different source code to solve the same problem.
