I had this moment years ago when I realised 95% of root tweaks I was using were available non-rooted anyway. The other 5% I learnt to live without and now struggle to remember what they even were.

Not sure what kind of apps you are into that know when you’re taking a shit but my banking apps have notification permissions and that is about it (camera when needed but yank it straight after). Most bank and broker websites are limited compared to the app. I have 8 finance related apps and it was constant musical chairs with which one will break after an update requiring hours of workaround research, if one is even available. Any version of Interactive Broker straight up refused to work on rooted device. You may personally be OK with giving up that functionality on your phone but not everyone is in the same boat as you.

Great description of a problem I noticed with most LLM generated code of any decent complexity. It will look fantastic at first but you will be truly up shit creek by the time you realise it didn’t generate a paddle.

Until the day it doesn’t, I was one of those people excommunicated by Oracle out of the blue and that is the last I ever heard from them (seriously, I tried to find out why at least)

I assume no encryption is safe from three letter gangs, at this point I’m only concerned with keeping grubby corporate fingers at bay.

What a great build up and a cathartic well deserved pay off

Lest this [the clapback] seem like mere high spirits and hijinks, Lee’s partner and his mother both “received harassing messages through Facebook Messenger,” while other messages targeted Lee’s son, saying things like “I would kill your f—ing n—– child” and calling him a “racemixing pussy.”

Ahhh the internet I know and love, never change

On the off chance anyone uses BorgBase for off-site backups, I would like to shamelessly plug a Prometheus exporter I wrote for monitoring your account. It exports name, available/total space and last modified time for all repos in your account.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Languages are meant to be fluid evolving constructs anyway.

also Linux: what will it bork this time?

I have a Contabo VPS that costs less than $5 a month and allows for 30TB of bandwidth. The only love letters I received for seeding were basically emails telling me for informational purposes and no further action will be taken (they don’t give a shit basically). Way more functional and cheaper than a vanilla seedbox but obviously requires more work on your part to set up.
