Heh, I wrote all of the docs, hence the typos :) * This is troubling as I've tested it extensively in Hyprland on different machines. * You are right that the root installation requirements need more clarification. I was so focused on

No, Tether is end-to-end encrypted on all fronts. mTLS on WiFi and Bluetooth encryption on that side.

No, unfortunately. This is one Apple limitation I haven't found a way around yet. I am close though.

This is a very good point and I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I considered contributing to KDE Connect but decided against it for many reasons: 1. This would be a major subsystem added to KDE Connect and I have no history

This is a good question. No, OpenBubbles impersonates a Mac and talks to Apple's servers. Tether connects to the phone via Bluetooth and asks the iphone to send/receive messages. OpenBubbles's technique is not supported by Ap

This is a great point, and you are right. However, using cpack+cmake makes the packaging pretty easy, gets the dependencies right for you. The problem is in dealing with all the package various manager repos.

This was perhaps the biggest reason I moved to Linux full-time about a year ago. I just got sick of not being able to write software and have people use it. The solution might be an "I trust this author" VS Code style dialog and t

I agree with your sentiment, but I want 100% Linux about a year ago and it's been much better than OSX. Yes, there are downsides - I really miss the iPhone "continuity". But the bugs, gatekeeper, liquid glass, ads in system s

This is what I kept thinking as well. In my experience big companies can't get things done and people fly under the radar all the time not doing anything.

100% agree and do the same. There's no way I'd let one of those things touch the network. That is insane for a techie and even scarier that normal people live that way.

Asahi Linux[1] is unbelievably great on Apple Silicon. It's honestly the best Linux install experience I've ever had. 1. https://asahilinux.org/

Just did this. I am so much happier. As a lifelong Apple user, and side-quest Linux user the choice is a no-brainer nowadays. Desktop Linux is honestly great now. I love(d) Apple but Tahoe was the straw that broke the camel's back for

This sounds almost exactly like what happened to me. I was a runner and a happy overworker. I developed AFib at 38 years old after the pandemic. Studies show a 6–10x higher risk of developing AFib or other arrhythmias within a month of infe

I found JDBi[1] to be a really nice balance between ORM and raw SQL. It gives me the flexibility I need but takes care of a lot of the boilerplate. It's almost like a third category. 1. http://jdbi.org

This was happening to us > 5 years ago. The FB crawlers were taking out our image serving system as we used the og:image thing. What we did was route FB crawler traffic to a separate Auto Scaling Group to keep our users happy while also

Thanks for you work on this and making it FOSS. This is the first I've heard of QuestDB. Is it production ready? Whats the scaling story? Thanks

This is fascinating. Dasher looks incredible. I was wondering where this thing was going to go (if anywhere) after this initial "use case". I will definitely look into this. Thanks!

Thanks, and thanks for showing me ACAT. I was not aware of it but looks interesting.
