I've been paying for Premium for a while, but I was behind a VPN when I signed up and apparently they charge you the rate for the country that your IP address resolves to instead of the country your account is actually associated with

For a few years I've been running a couple self-hosted instances of Uptime Kuma from two different locations (a Raspberry Pi at my house and on my VPS) which monitor a few things I care about plus each other, and haven't had any p

Due to their app store monopoly, Apple is probably one of the few companies whose version of enshittification often involves enshittifying the products and services of other companies.

It's too bad the author didn't think to restore the factory RAM before shipping it. My unrelenting cynicism always makes me very careful to hide any evidence of tinkering on the rare occasions when I need to send a tech product of

I think the answer to your first point is easily explained by the fact that the major news orgs typically have paywalls that check the user's IP, cookies, and so forth to decide whether they're allowed to see the full article for

The thing I'm most confused about is I thought xkcd was one guy named Randall's webcomic, but this post makes it sound like there are several people involved in creating the comics. Is that the case? Does Randall still draw them o

Individuals choosing to live an energy-conscious life is commendable, and if enough people did it it might even ripple some small effects upwards, but ultimately I don't think that would ever be enough to actually solve anything. It ha

Another killer feature for me is its built-in support for Wallabag. I host my own server and routinely save longer articles to it so that I can download and read them on my Kobo later.

A while ago my wife applied for a home equity loan. At some point I got a call from someone claiming to be from the bank she had applied through (I forget which one), calling to make sure I approved the loan since the home is in both our na

Maybe I'm being cynical, but as long as it doesn't require me to connect to the internet and I can just plug an HDMI cable or two into it and treat it like a monitor, I guess I don't mind so much if the price of a smart TV is

As far as local games, if you're into retro gaming the G-Cloud is also powerful enough to play PSP games at 2x or 3x resolution (as well as anything else you can find emulators for up to and including the PS1 and N64 generation of cons

I used a Light Phone II for a few years, which is essentially an expensive e-ink dumbphone (it runs Android under the hood, but you can't actually run any apps outside of some minimal built-in ones for stuff like directions and music).

PostGraphile didn't have any first-class migration solution back when we started using it. It looks like they have a `migrate` tool, but I can't speak to that since I've never used it. The way I set everything up, there'

I worked for years on a massive PostGraphile project where 99% of the backend application code was written as stored procedures and table triggers, and let me tell you, once the complexity of the system moves beyond basic CRUD operations th

I think if you're happy with the experience that the IDEs you mentioned provide you, then there is very little reason to switch. Being familiar with vi keybindings can be useful if you ever find yourself on a minimal system with no oth

Are you implying that we would assign a public /64 subnet to a collection of nanites that were designed to be absorbed after a week in the human body, and then retire that subnet forever? This seems like an unlikely scenario, but I&#x2

The Quest 2's resolution was almost there for me--I could even spend a few hours at a time working on code in Immersed before I started to feel the eye strain. The Quest 3 has made it good enough that I could go all day if I wanted to.

I think that while authors are obviously free to make whatever stylistic choices they want, it's also valid for readers to point it out when those choices are so distracting that it interferes with the intended message of the writing (

The Quest devices are all fully wireless and have a pretty decent existing library of Quest-specific games and apps that you can play even if you don't own a computer. You could also connect them to a PC wirelessly and play any PC VR g

Fair enough. Seems like the conclusions drawn are not that it doesn't improve security, rather it does not improve security enough to justify the added burden to users and support staff. I'd venture that this 23andMe situation is

Is that true though? I agree they're annoying and in an ideal world where users don't reuse passwords or leaked hashes can't be broken they'd be pointless--but in this case I think it certainly would have protected at le

Those users signed up for a service with poor security controls (no 2FA, no requirement to rotate passwords at regular intervals) and then checked a box saying "share my data with other accounts." So while I agree with you that th

I love the idea of this after playing with it for a few minutes. My main gripe is that the font size is way too small for my old-man eyes, and it doesn't seem to remember or restore the previous zoom-level when launching (meaning I nee
