What now?

  1. I’m interested. Mainly to update the documentation on it for Gentoo, people have asked about it over the years. Also, TIL it appears HN has a sort of account dormancy status it appears you are in.
  2. I remember the last time I really cared to look into this was in the 2000’s, I had these wdtv embedded boxes that had a super anemic cpu that doing local copies with scp was slow as hell from the cipher overhead. I believe at the time it was possible to disable ciphers in scp but it was still slower than smbfs. NFS was to be avoided as wifi was shit then and losing connection meant risking system locking up. This of course was local LAN so I did not really care about encryption.

    But I don’t miss having those limitations.

  3. This has been around for years (like at least mid-2000’s). Gentoo used to have this patchset available as a USE flag on net-misc/openssh, but some time ago it was moved to net-misc/openssh-contrib (also configurable by useflag).

    There are some minor usability bugs and I think both endpoints need to have it installed to take advantage. I remember asking ages ago why it wasn’t upstreamed, there were reasons…

  4. > but those are rare.

    yeah sure, if you ignore the existence of literally every mobile isp.

  5. > Spotify is still the only big streaming service with native platform-level scrobbling.

    That's not true. It's missing from Apple Music but present in Tidal, Deezer, and Quobuz. It also works well with Plex.

    A large list from them: https://support.last.fm/t/more-ways-to-scrobble/192

  6. Flashback to this old thread about SSD vendors lying about FLUSH'd writes: https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=38371307 (I have a SKHynix drive with this issue)
  7. Was it serviced? In some models they used to have a non-ferrous screw put next to the compass, if a tech puts the wrong one in it will not calibrate.
  8. > thrilled people are still using old.reddit.com

    I noticed a day or two ago they quietly turned on the 'show new reddit as default' preference option, it was still possible to change default back but they won't stop pushing it.

  9. I was sent to collections for a rabies vaccine (well the immunoglobulin post-exposure part was the real expensive one) that was supposed to be reimbursed under a pharma/CDC program. Something like $17k.

    I begged the guy that helped me fill out the paperwork for that program to give me something proving the hospital was paid. He broke the law and gave me the whole month's reimbursed list of everyone in that program. Hospital made the situation go away in less than a day once they saw I had it.

    I will never forget his name since he put his ass on the line doing that and I never met him in person, just a few phone calls.

  10. >It's not toxic per se, but you can't just dump it down the drain.

    That's what the gutter is for: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zrv78nG9R04

  11. > The default TLS Client Hello has been modified. If your app or website communicates with servers configured with strict bot-detection or security policies that only allow traffic with known TLS fingerprints, then users might be unable to login or perform other actions.

    Wonder if that's what they do on their own services? Seems a little odd they'd have an outage a few days before release and then this shows up in their release notes.

  12. I guess I'm in an extreme minority here but... it's not broken if autocorrect is off.

    I raw dog my typing everywhere. Zero autocorrect. The last time I did use typing assistance was on BB10 with the 'flick to complete' because it was out of my way enough that I could ignore it was there or use it to save a small amount of time. Otherwise I too have the fond memory of Windows Phone's keyboard (I ran it on the HTC HD2), I couldn't tell you why it was good other than it felt good to use, again without autocorrect.

    However, I'm CERTAIN there's an ergonomics thing at play, the 'brain calibration' time for me to type accurately on a big screen takes longer. I ran the original iPhone SE's as long as I could and always carried a second android device that was huge by comparison. Today I have the 15 Pro and a OnePlus 11. If I spend a lot of time using the iPhone it takes a little time maybe 20 minutes or so to stop making easy errors on the OnePlus 11. However, going back to the smaller iPhone after being on the OnePlus for awhile, there's not really an adjustment, I can hit all the letters accurately.

    I have large hands, I still want the smaller device. There is extra work to need to move your hand and eyes across a larger device. More space to misclick on.

    Swipe to type is enabled on android/ios for me. I use it sometimes, if you are hesitant at all on iOS or have a tendency to drag fingers at all don't enable it or it will mess up your typing. It's of course enabled by default like autocorrect. Some people have issues with it.

    Dictation is underrated on iOS at least. It just works better and faster than the shitty autocorrect for typing. Obviously not applicable to a lot of situations but when I don't feel like typing it works really well.

    EDIT: And I really have to have it off, I switch between devices too much and even with them learning my style of writing, I write differently for different contexts and each OS does its own thing differently. I don't want to spend the extra mental bandwidth correcting the autocorrect or having to think of how that specific autocorrect will behave.

  13. Curious to see the Testflight/Support apps updated just after. I’m betting they pushed an upgrade to something in their services and it was bumpy.
  14. > Aren't all text messages routed through a server?

    For SMS, no not a central server for all carriers. When SMS service originally launched it wasn’t even cross-carrier.

    MMS acts like a mailserver at each carrier, sends a push notification and your device has like a day to download full message.

    For RCS it’s supposed to be federated but carriers gave up and it’s now centralized through Google Jibe.

  15. Thanks for attempting to answer what I was asking about. I have had difficulty finding out more about it, the alleged ex-Palantir commenter said this would be part of their Gotham product, but most of what I could find on that was buzzword data visualization stuff. If their old post history and what you're saying is accurate, then it's really just a database integration tool with a nice interface?
  16. I know at least in Rockland's case, their power utility extends slightly into NJ. Can see it on statewide power outage trackers like this one: https://projects.nj.com/data/outagetracker/
  17. The county lists are wrong, at least they are for my state of New Jersey. We have 21 counties, not 27. Is it picking up the bordering counties that might have overlapping contracts or something?
  18. I am wondering if this related to hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) activation.

    Seem to recall the nootropic Noopept allegedly acts as an activator for HIF-1. Maybe there are others. Could possibly be a therapeutic target, maybe not. This is not my area of study, I'm just reiterating some of what I've read in the past.

  19. So rather than point us at more Palantir marketing and YouTuber conspiracy theories, why not be a little more specific (if you can) and just tell us a bit more about that since you are allegedly an ex-Palantir?
