Chezmoi is what you want. I haven't looked at this one yet, but until someone compares it to Chezmoi and points out where it's better I'm not even looking attention I fear. Chezmoi is just that good.

Does iOS not have spam blocking in the SMS app? It all goes straight to the spam folder in Google Messages, haven't seen a spam SMS in years.

The problem is that I WANT to give an app access to everything. I don't want my OS to think of "photos" vs "documents". I want a filesystem, and I want apps to be able to share access to it. Google and apple are the

I'm honestly curious: you think people didn't vote for Harris because she was a black woman? What would you estimate the split is between people for whom that is their legitimate reason, and people who just found her to be a bad c

They did? I've not heard of that, and a cursory search isn't finding anything. Got any more info on this, which rocket, etc? I'd love to learn about that.

Definitely agree. I haven't played in some years, but when I did Apex Legends netcode was atrocious. They were clearly putting most of the workload onto the client, rather than letting the server arbitrate. I think you've nailed t

The second stage failed it's de-orbit disposal burn. This second stage isn't even going to be doing one since it's carrying the payload out beyond earth orbit. NASA and the FAA were pretty clear on this actually, they don&#x2

That's not unusual at all. I'd bet every insurance company us trying to, and some straight-up offer discounts to do so. I prefer the honesty really.... https://www.businessinsider.com/auto-insurance-monitor-drivi..

I wish... Live is the only reason I have a windows partition anymore. I just can't quite get it to work in wine/emulation... When I'm forced to upgrade to windows 11 I simply won't have Live anymore, because I won't

The ThinkPhone has the shake gestures still. Boggles my mind why not every moto phone has them.

Because they assume you've set name+spam@gmail.com to be filtered directly to spam, and they can easily evade those filters by removing the ±spam part. Big companies do this. I have signed up for things using a +filter email address, o

The Minds from The Culture scifi series have something like this... The top level glyph is the base meaning and you can encode essentially infinite depth of meaning beyond that... Of course you have to go multidimensional at some point, so

Get 'ye to an allergist and get some shots! At least in the DFW area i've managed to go from 3-weeks of benadryl-induced-coma during the "cedar season" to barely a stuffy nose! I've heard Houston is worse. That&#x27

It's pretty dang close. The only games I've had problems with in recent years were non-steam. Once Overwatch died and everything I was playing was in Steam I found myself rebooting into windows a lot less often. Getting your hardw

I think what triggers most of us to complain is the fact that the price goes up while the value goes down. Spotify is actually a great value, but they keep making it worse and worse. If they had announced a price increase along side of an a

Really? Open Settings, there's a "Search" tab on the sidebar. Literally the first item is "default search engine". At the bottom of that tab is the "Search shortcuts", which makes it trivially easy to have

My guess would be that their phone was taken from them, unlocked, and their messages were accessed that way. I know several large IT orgs that have done this when Legal got involved. Literally using a 2nd phone to take pictures of Signal ch

What ads? I've had a pixel 7a for month, stock OS, and I'm not sure what you mean. I certainly don't get any ads via notification except for from 3rd party apps. It's possible you have some Google app running and that&#x

I was scrolling through looking for the Google Wave comment. Sad to see it at the bottom. Wave was, IMHO, the UI paradigm of the future for this sort of thing. I have hope that it was just too far ahead of it's time and something like

FWIW I really don't need to remember the IPv6 addresses of devices on my networks, DNS and my router handle that for me fairly automatically. I can even control how I connect to the device, either by using it's hostname on the

I had similar issues (also with pfSense) during my ISP's rollout of IPv6. It seems that it was all ISP related. I turned it off and came back a few months later and it's been pretty flawless ever since. The only times it causes pr

True, I do recall that! But you'd have a buy a usb/Bluetooth GPS to plug in to your laptop I think, there was no android option. In the end I just decided it wasn't worth it, my laptops can just be manually placed in my home

What a disingenuous article. Uses as many techie sounding terms as possible and even points out the icloud backup problem, but fails to point out that your keys are not your own, and so no matter how secure the E2E is Apple can still read y

Yes, certainly. But the point is that it will leave *VERY* obvious indications that it was felled in such a way.

I haven't actually looked into this, but I imagine it works the same way Apple's iMessage: He who controls key exchange controls everything. They don't need to "backdoor" the encryption if they can just add a new (i

The Forever War novels have this as a key plot point, if you're interested in that sort of thing.
