You could maybe do this with tailscale: all your devices will be reachable from each other, and you can specify that you want the external one to be the exit node. It uses wireguard under the hood.

How else would you categorize cucumbers? Automatically? I guess if you had them on a conveyer belt with sensors, but manually seems simpler

Do you have other examples? I am really curious when they said privacy friendly and ended up snooping.

I think a phone is big enough that it can work with the PD charger. But I had a tiny little gadget that wouldn’t pull any power from a PD charger, but did charge from a normal charger / dollar store cable.

Loved the article.

One pet peeve of mine: PD plugs are too powerful to charge puny devices. Not the first time I’ve run into this problem.

So sad that we’ve finally gotten a good standard (USB c) but there are still things that look like they should fit together and work, but don’t.

How much are pints actually?

Seconding this, it is very convenient if your router supports a good provider. But it is better imo to use a good provider with a helper script on your server than to stick with your router defaults if they’re not that good.

I recommend afraid.org, you get everything that you need for free dynamic dns, and they’re a cool project so someday you may like to do even more with them or send them a little donation.

I started with noip first, and the monthly re-up was so annoying.

Wait so does the client install the game on the local machine, or does the game run on the server like steam link?

It is deceptive. This thread is full of people who know enough to not be deceived and they think it should be obvious to everyone… but it’s not.

Definitely supported the Republicans. It was a red flag to hold opinions like this:

Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot: Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote. At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up- JD Vance. By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand. Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

He’s not wrong about the Democrat party choosing the establishment over the progressive wing, but the idea that he supports the Republicans as being more likely to reign in tech companies is so laughable it’s not even funny, and makes you wonder why Andy Yen believes it.

What other commenters have said before though is true: aside from this incident with the CEO, Proton has been careful to stay politically neutral and on message… It damaged their public trust but didn’t destroy it.

Cory Doctorow says put gravel in your shoes. Yrmv

Fuck that I might as well answer them wrong then. Bullshit

Oh God please let something related to it be called crow

Can someone grep Wayland and tell us what you find?

IDK how I would do that on my phone.

Can’t believe it’s been 9 years since that drama

Am I? Or does it think I’m a bot?

I guess it’s on brand for Google to try and squeeze more value out of a product by making it worse for users. Just like Prabhakar Raghavan ruined Google search.

Could you please enlighten me on one small point:

When it asks you to click all the squares with a motorcycle, etc., does it expect you to include the squares with just a tiny part of the motorcycle or rider, or does it just want you to select the main squares?

That makes sense – different features are important to different folks.

For emojis on IRC I just use the system keyboard. So it’s easy on my phone, but hard on a computer. I didn’t know that matrix had an emoji button – I guess I haven’t missed it :p

It’s true that IRC doesn’t pull scrollback the first time you join a room in any implementation I’m aware of. I’m ok with this limitation though because I tend to stay joined to the rooms I want to read. I like hexchat, although I’m aware that it’s a dead project :'(

We agree on Matrix angering us lol.

I’ll fight.

I haven’t seen replies be useful at all, in fact they actively clutter the UI.

Editing and reactions are nice, but they’re not that important.

IRC already has emoji support 😀 and offline history sync, and is way smaller and faster.

The one feature I like better on Matrix vs IRC clients is it is way easier to actually connect to the server. Just type in matrix.org or whatever it autofills for you, and you’re in. No dealing with port numbers and proper syntax. This is an improvement.

I wanted to like matrix but it was too clunky for me. I wish more people used libera chat though, it is less active than it was 10 years ago or whatever.
