> Roku is really crap to use I disagree, I find the Roku experience to be quite easy to use and it does what I want with no surprises in the UX.

Ahhh, I did not (my bad) - I don't track grep features, not a hobby :) this chart could have been more truthy 2 years ago for all I know. Thanks.

Some of these line items are really obtuse and in some cases just not right, "Don't search in binary files" and "Treat binary files as if they were text" for example caught my eye - GNU grep has the `--binary-files`

The name on that email is not one of the Runbox folks listed on their About page, so one can only guess who that actually is or how the email was sent; it could have been a BCC for all we know. https://runbox.com/about/

From a quick look at tech specs from a few sources (asus, gsmarena, etc.) the USA version lacks 5G band n41, which is the backbone of T-Mobile (+Sprint).

One of the first things we did on Solaris installs was install the GNU userland (it's been so many decades, I forget the specifics - packaged somehow, not ./configure; make) so we could get GNU sed and awk (and bash and vim) among

Hello! Hydrogen sorely needs 2 basic things to make it usable as a daily driver - separate DM one-on-one conversations away from Rooms and add a Dark mode toggle. These two things push me back to app.element.io, must-have not nice-to-have t

One positive thing I'd add - as a user - under logistics is high availability. Life is messy, servers go down planned or unplanned for whatever reasons - IRC networks are in a sense truly 'federated' in that the client will g

You've basically just described duplicity with rclone as the backend (their term). I personally add duply in front for usability (it handles your includes, excludes, "profile", etc.). Restoring is easy with these 3 working in

Dude, CGNAT is handled at the ISP layer, I do not have an IPv4 address at all locally, it's a 464XLAT done on T-Mobile's side. All users come from a shared IPv4 on their network, not mine. Dude.

I'm literally on Arch using NetworKManager, when creating a new connection it defaults to Stable Privacy in the dropdown, but EUI64 is listed first in the dropdown itself. So, since you didn't actually state which one to use, no

I'm on a shared IP with millions of people using the same public IP (T-Mobile CGNAT), there is one IP (many of them, actually) doing that right now from every T-Mobile customer. Your one server will be a blip on their radar if it even

I'm with you! It's possible that at one time I thought as you (also being a music fan), but in the past 5 (?) years you can't trip but to find someone talking about rust in the tech spaces. Not only context, but era (point in

For me, "crate" is now associated with anything rust (and I'm neither a rust person or a programmer) - if I see crate in relation to tech, "it has something to do with rust."

Trivia: by default (unless it has changed upstream), the F-Droid app defaults to "Include anti-feature apps: Off" in the Settings. The user must go in there and manually opt-in to see all the anti-feature apps on the mobile client

One of the most popular ways is to use the F-Droid repositories, which if you know a little Linux concepts it's like plugging in another software repository to the same package manager. (see f-droid.org) It can be confusing though beca

A number of US states do not require background checks when it's resident-to-resident (I live in one). It's common to trade a bill of sale between parties but the paperwork stops there, and this paperwork is technically optional.
