It looks like only IPv4 is affected. IPv6 is working fine to a couple of test endpoints. 3 2a02:c28:1:6506::106 2.131 ms 2.124 ms 2.117 ms 4 2a02:c28:11:6::100 15.695 ms 15.689 ms 15.682 ms 5 2a02:c28:1:1900::19 15.998

All day every day since 2009 :) I've kept an eye on other phones throughout the years, but nothing quite ticks the same boxes (and by far most things aren't even remotely close). There are some other interesting phones on the ho

This was my first thought too. I have done this successfully to get Cat5e everywhere in a house that used to have coax everywhere. If you do it, I recommend attaching multiple pull strings to the coax, then pulling the coax out, then usin

For Office 365 I use DavMail [0] for calendar, and Office 365's own SMTP/IMAP servers for mail. Both seem to work well. It would be nice to have DavMail built in to Thunderbird, but it happily lives in a Screen session with no is

I'm surprised to hear of problems with Firefox and ALSA. On all my Gentoo machines I simple compile Firefox with USE="-pulseaudio" which sets --enable-alsa within Firefox's build. Still working fine up to and including

GLiv [1]. Firefox and GLiv both take ~5 seconds to load the image for me, although whilst Firefox takes another ~5 seconds to re-render after zooming in to 100 %, GLiv is instant. [1] http://guichaz.free.fr/gliv/

I was delighted that a fun toy didn't need JS for once. If the concern is one of privacy, the author could just be sending the text to the server in the background with JS too.

The package contains microcode for old CPUs but it isn't necessarily still updated or recent. Here for example is what's available for my router's CPU, from the latest package: # grep model\ name /proc/cpuinfo

`cal` does try to use the expected first day of the week based on the locale. It seems to at least use LC_TIME from some quick local testing: bratch@serenity ~ $ LC_TIME=en_GB cal | head -n2 May 2017 Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa S

I find the opposite - without JS permitted for at least a couple of domains, one only sees the mobile site and extremely low resolution images. Edit: And even with JS, images remain low resolution (or invisible) until you stop middle-button

Gentoo's package manager (Portage) deals with this quite nicely for packages like st [1]. Both custom patches and config.h changes can be saved in the package manager, which will then apply them automatically to new versions. [1] http
