Something to be aware of when considering a purchase of this device, is the fact that Google will stop providing security updates after August of 2023. GrapheneOS will also stop doing so after that date. This means you'll get a maximum of 2 years of usage out of this phone.
I'm not a network guy, so forgive my ignorance, but this is the first time I'm hearing about this. Why will IPv6 cause inexplicable hangs and timeouts?
My Pixel 5 with the latest update installed is running Linux 4.19. Pretty old, but still supported until 2024 according to kernel.org. Still, a more recent kernel release would be preferable of course.
As I understand it, flakes don't really solve the problem parent is talking about. The discoverability is still poor. Say I need a python package at version x.x.x. How do I find which nixpkgs commit hash I should use to get that specific version?
Hetzner has always been one of the cheapest providers when it comes to pricing for additional IP addresses. I'm surprised it took this long for them to be forced to raise the prices. This affects me, but I understand why they have to do it.
In the case of Python, Celery does support SQLAlchemy as a broker if I remember correctly. So in theory, you could still use PostgreSQL and also have a solid queue library.
I think Kotlin is great. I feel much more fluent when writing Kotlin than I do when writing Java. The thing I really miss though, is checked exceptions. I have no clue which exception types a library function might be throwing unless they're explicitly documented (which is rare). Does anyone know if this is planned to be addressed at some point?
Yeah, it's clear that Nix has not been optimized to run on resource constrained devices. I run NixOS on a Raspberry Pi with 1GB of RAM and had to enable swap to prevent Nix from running into OOM situations. Any system with more memory than 1GB is usually fine in my experience though.
If the attackers would have used their own name/email linked to a GitHub account and signed the backdoor commits, GitHub would display a green "Signed" label, and everything would look OK to an outsider.
Maybe these privacy policy changes are not super scary yet (honestly, it's difficult to even read the thing since its littered with legalese traps that confuse me). And at least end-to-end encryption still seems to be on the table, but where are they headed? WhatsApp is so easy to use that most people will just click "Agree" and trade their privacy for convenience.
Messaging in the Netherlands almost universally runs on WhatsApp these days. Nobody uses text messages anymore, understandably, but somehow we all ended up on a platform run by Facebook. "Whatsappen" (messaging on Whatsapp) and "appje" (short for WhatsApp message) are even official words now. Need to contact a friend? Send an appje. Need support from a company? Send an appje. Need to send a message to your team at work? Send an appje in the group chat.
Has anyone managed to get their contacts to switch to Signal? I can't even get tech-savvy people to switch, since they always seem to find some minor annoyance that makes them instantly dismiss the app and go back to WhatsApp.
I recall receiving an unsolicited email about this project a week ago. Did you scrape email addresses from GitHub profiles to try to promote your project, by any chance?
Keeping your Vitamin D levels in check becomes even more of a challenge if you're not normocalcemic. In my case, Vitamin D levels always turn out to be almost unmeasurably low when I get bloodwork done. If I then supplement high doses of Vitamin D in response to that, the level rises only slightly, and my Calcium level goes up even more than it already is.
This article seems to be a rant with lots of random and unsubstantiated claims. The author is disappointed in the web and web browser vendors. Then there's a call for action to stop adding features, which will certainly not be answered given the quality of the article. People are free to write whatever they want on their own blog, but I'm not sure what this is doing on HN.
I am. I'm using uBlock Origin, but apparently this redirect got through. Then the DNS lookup of guce.advertising.com failed because of the filter I have set up on that end, so my Techcrunch experience ended on an error page.
Coming from iOS, I can imagine that being a disappointment. 3 years of updates is a relatively new trend in the Android world. I used to complain about this as well, but now that it's 3 years, that's about when I usually buy a new phone anyway.
Can vouch for the Pixel line. I've had a Pixel 3a XL for a little over a year and it's been great. Stock Android, good display, great battery life, great camera, great security, reasonably fast and 3 years of updates. That's all I need from a phone. The Pixel 4a seems like a logical upgrade from the previous generation, sticking to the same principles.
Right. It's not as if I enjoy my current routine. I feel like I sleep pretty deeply and reasonably long, but somehow I never feel rested. So I end up in this groggy cycle of alarms until I've finally had enough and get up.
