  1. You can actually get a prepaid travel eSIM before you leave on holiday.
  2. You absolutely can. But it does need an internet connection for that. Which actually makes eSIM more secure than regular SIM.
  3. POP3 is outdated and should've been withdrawn years ago. IMAP provides everything POP does and more.
  4. Thank you! This was my issue as well.
  5. Site seems to be down?
  6. Systemd hardening is great, but each service needs its own bespoke config and that takes a bit of time and trial & error. Here's the override I've been using for Jellyfin: https://gist.github.com/radupotop/61d59052ff0a81cc5a32c92b3b...

  7. I would love if they implemented a feature to prune media files larger than ~10MiB from the existing backup file. This way the file size would not grow to astronomical proportions so quickly.
  8. I'm assuming the backup format uses a container (like Veracrypt volumes), which grows in size forever, and cannot be backed up incrementally. I ran into the same issue when backing up loopback LUKS volumes. An elegant solution in this case was switching to Gocryptfs which encrypts each file individually, but then can mount the entire folder as a whole with fuse. This means only modified files need to be synchronised to the remote.
  9. Give Lato a try. I've been using it as the default UI font / sans-serif in Xfce for years and it worked well for me.
  10. Zoho Mail is very good, priced well, and available in multiple zones- EU/US/etc.
  11. This article is already largely irrelevant. The GPL (and the FSF), whether you like it or not, always has been a political movement. The aim of the movement is to expand the pool of free/libre software and to disallow commercial entities from gaining an unfair advantage without contributing back. With the GPLv2 they already have, as it permits them to run the software in the cloud, with their proprietary additions, without contributing back. AGPLv3 closes that loophole that's why it's even less popular.

    You can license your software as you wish, but in the long run the GPL has ensured that contributions reach back upstream for the common good, rather than for profit. The GPL gives protections for the people/end consumers, much like labour laws do in your own country. The GPL ensures that your contributions are respected, available to all, and not abused for profit (not always true, but tribunals have enforced the license terms before). The GPL has the effect of doing this globally while allowing contributions back from a global audience. It's genius and the companies absolutely hate it.

  12. There's also diagrams.mingrammer.com which is a fantastic tool.
  13. There's also DSQ which uses SQL instead of its own language. https://github.com/multiprocessio/dsq
  14. > Backup TOTP are put in .txt files for each service and in a folder encrypted by Cryptomator

    I do something similar but instead use KeePassXC to securely store copies of totp secrets.

  15. Fellow Zim user here. Is there a way to add time stamps to each line in Zim like this app does?
  16. QNX is now largely irrelevant with the merging of the PREEMPT_RT patches in the mainline Linux kernel, starting with v6.12 which comes out in a week or two.
  17. This is very cool and definitely useful when you have a large screen at your disposal. I have a 27" screen which doesn't give you as much screen real-estate as yours. So what I'm using is a script which spawns a separate Xephyr window as DISPLAY 9, and puts a bunch of windows on that screen. https://gist.github.com/radupotop/d77a47767e2e65a7e7d40d1ea8... I use this as my demo environment.
  18. They need NAT!
  19. > search engines link to their sources! Chatbots don’t.

    Actually Copilot does provide links to its sources, which adds credibility and promotes further exploration.

  20. Isn't this what systemd run0 is now doing?

        There's a new tool in systemd, called "run0". Or actually, it's not a new tool, it's actually the long existing tool "systemd-run", but when invoked under the "run0" name (via a symlink) it behaves a lot like a sudo clone. But with one key difference: it's *not* in fact SUID. Instead it just asks the service manager to invoke a command or shell under the target user's UID. It allocates a new PTY for that, and then shovels data back and forth from the originating TTY and this PTY. Or in other words: the target command is invoked in an isolated exec context, freshly forked off PID 1, without inheriting any context from the client (well, admittedly, we *do* propagate $TERM, but that's an explicit exception, i.e. allowlist rather than denylist).
        One could say, "run0" is closer to behaviour of "ssh" than to "sudo", in many ways.

  21. Actually serious question: Would this work as fallback tech in a war ridden zone? Not over wet string, but over something like reclaimed copper wire from whatever is around. Suppose laying fiber would be too risky and is too fragile, cannot be patched up in the field.
  22. I still hope to see text/markdown as an officially supported content type by email clients.
  23. I've heard good things about atuin

    https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin

  24. Actually leave html rendering to Servo https://servo.org/
  25. I would not trust that script. If Python is such a hassle then there is also Lego: https://github.com/go-acme/lego which supports tons of DNS providers and is very well documented.
  26. I'm referring to the original Cleartype introduced around Windows XP - if I recall correctly. The hinting used was quite aggressive.
  27. I don't find the initial Cleartype algorithm used by Windows to be exactly good either. You could tell from miles away that it's distorting fonts significantly in order to fit them into the pixel matrix. I think they've improved it for Windows 10/11 though.
  28. Just read an article about this a couple of days ago which went into more detail:
