  • Yeah, I’ve been using scripts to set only the parts I actually want to modify, which is already a pretty good step for reducing the amount of information and knowing what you publish without having to review the dotfiles when you back up your latest configuration changes.

    But even with that, there’s some info I do not particularly want public.
    Like, it starts with the name of my user account showing up in places. On my personal device, I just call it “main” to sidestep this whole problem, but if I want to use those scripts on my work laptop, well, the user name there is a shorthand of my real name, which I do not want to publish.

    But there’s also lots of things in between.
    Like, I make music as a hobby, which isn’t really something I care to announce to the world, but decided I don’t mind the world knowing either.
    On the other hand, I decided against sticking my RSS feeds into there for now, because I want to be able to add any RSS feed without having to think about whether I want that particular interest public.

    Git: lazygit Docker management : lazydocker

    Well, seeing them in the list like that rubs me the wrong way. 😅

    Both of those come with a CLI, called git and docker respectively, which is the official way of using them. These CLIs might not be particularly sexy, depending on who you ask, but they’re decent enough and worth learning, even if you go the lazy* route, since online resources all just explain the official CLIs and you might find yourself one day administering remote systems where you can’t install additional software…



  • Hmm, I found this German forum thread from 2019, which says it doesn’t support all frequencies used by US carriers.

    Of course, this may very well be different with more modern models. You can try also asking on their forums, or maybe you’re able to contact support directly. So far, I’ve always gotten a response fairly quickly.

    Also just to note, I’m on the SHIFT6mq, which isn’t being produced anymore.
    I believe, they’re currently in a bit of an awkward in-between phase, where you can only really get the SHIFT5me, which is an even older model, while they’re planning out the SHIFTphone 8. That might still take some months, and quite possibly more than a year.
    I don’t think they have the capacity for two flagship models at the same time, so you just get these fairly long pauses in availability, which I just can’t sugarcoat…







  • It’s the bane of being built-in. You don’t have an extension page to explain to people that the link might not work anymore. You certainly also can’t assume that your users should know of such a possibility, because this can be clicked by any user.

    I guess, there could be like a workflow where it opens the URL in a new tab and asks you, if it still works, but that’s also a good way to ensure your less techy users will not press that button again…




  • Sure, I guess, if you’ve got a distro installed on your PC and use the distro-provided packages to install the Rust compiler, then you can’t be subject to such certificate MitM attacks.

    Your comment sounded like you were primarily concerned about the shell script piping rather it just being a program which can be downloaded without going through distro packages.
