It is for people who rent out slices of a computer to a bunch of different people and promise that the script kiddie that lives on the same machine as you can't steal your members-only cat photos (e.g. cloud providers.)
Ouch! That freaking sucks.
ototoy.jp (requires VPN unless you're in Japan but they don't care where the billing address is.)
I was under the impression (perhaps mistaken) that music you purchased in iTunes had to stay in iTunes. Can I take my files where I please or do they have to reside in the Apple walled garden?
Nope, the only time I discovered music on Bandcamp was when some indie label was selling their whole catalog for a low price and I got the whole bundle. 99% of the time, I knew what I was looking for and came there for the lossless digital releases and/or to support the artist.
Anyone have some good alternatives for downloading loseless and DRM free music from artists?
For Japanese artist I use ototoy.jp but that's a small subset of my library.
Guess I better get what's on my wish list while I can!
Also looking forward to artwork merch but that's still for 7.3 on their shop, maybe it will be updated in a few days?
I'm possibly motivated by different reasons than other users but I think an understated feature of OpenBSD is that it's
simpleThe unique security features are nice but really there's a lot to say about how simple an OpenBSD system is to use and configure.
> requires logging in again across all of my devices and kids/spouse accounts that require it for purchases.
Do you use your apple ID to log into your kids/spouses devices or do you have some kind of setup where they have their own apple ID but you just login with yours for purchases? Genuinely curious. If it's the latter, I didn't know that was a thing.
Yeah, if you're there you have to at least check it out. though sadly every year the neat tech stuff seems to keep shrinking.
There's tons of hardware that runs perfectly fine on Windows 10 but can't be (officially) upgraded to Windows 11. Even if you meet the TPM requirement some CPUs are not (officially) supported and you can't upgrade . My Lenovo ThinkCenre with an i7 and 32 GBs of RAM is one of them. I have no interest in buying new hardware when what I have is perfectly ample. I'll just switch back to Linux when the clock runs out.
I'm probably the minority with this request but: A Sublime Text clone, with many of the same features and at least some level of compatibility with existing packages. That'd be great.
And it's not that I don't want to pay for Sublime, I just want it to work on OpenBSD.
I really want one of these eink monitors but the price has to come down. I totally see the appeal and have lots of use cases in mind but I just can't justify the cost yet.
Same here, the only reason I clicked on the article was to try and find out how they could possibly justify it and then I realized what they meant.
LinkedIn is hot nuclear garbage. Most of the job listings are ghost jobs and the rest are ones I'd not want anyway.
My first iPhone was an iPhone 6. No iPhone since then has added any feature appealing enough for me to upgrade unwillingly.
Whenever it's time to put my old phone out to pasture because (and only because) it's at a point that it's too broken to use or be reliable: I let my wife get whatever the latest iPhone is and I take her old one which lasts me a few years easily.
My "phone" is really just a camera+GPS that my wife sometimes calls me on when she can't find me in a store. I dread typing on it, hell I dread _talking_ on it even.
> Although we know Hacktoberfest t-shirts are loved by the community, producing over 50,000 t-shirts and shipping them around the world has become logistically challenging. Even with the support of external sponsors, almost all of the program’s operating budget in past years has been allocated towards these physical rewards. Furthermore, we’ve run into challenges in many countries with participants being required to pay customs taxes and import duty fees which often exceed the value of the gift itself.
Oh interesting... would love to hear more about that. I guess what could happen is:
You would:
1. Resolve the FQDN
2. check the IP
3. Make the request
When the request is actually made, the FQDN is resolved again and a different IP is returned?
For me, breakfast is obsolete.
I only eat between noon and 8PM, so I only eat lunch and dinner.
I do eat rolled oats on occasion though, about once a week when I don't have time to prepare my usual salad for lunch, I often stir in about a tbsp of cashew or almond butter.
For a server sending webhooks to endpoints entered in by users, take care that:
a: The FQDN does not resolve to an RFC1918 address (You don't want to be POSTing payloads to endpoints within your internal network.)
b: If you respond to redirect responses (easier to just not do so for other reasons as well) also make sure those don't resolve to internal addresses too!
I'll never understand why both the Purism and Pine folks don't focus heavily on making one or two _really good products_ and instead try to make a bunch of stuff.
Purism has:
- Liberty Phone
- Librem 5
- Librem 11
- Librem 14
- Librem Mini
- Librem Server
- Librem Key
Pine64 has a more severe case of ADHD:
- A bunch of SBCs: Pine A64, A64 LTS, Rock64, RockPro64, Pine H64, Quartz64 A and B
- Pinebook, Pinebook Pro
- Pinephone, Pinephone Pro, Pine Note, Pine Tab
- PineTime,
- SOEDGE, SOPINE compute modules
- IP Cam
- Soldering Iron
- A powersupply
- Pinenut
I have bought several Pine devices (A64, RockPro, Pinebook, Pinephone) none have really been _great_ though. I've not hear a lot of good things about Purism hardware either.
> Each and every week, Uber’s 4,500 stateless microservices are deployed more than 100,000 times by 4,000 engineers and many autonomous systems.
4,500 stateless microservices... that's nearly one service per engineer...
Talking "shipping the org chart" to the extreme.
I miss the Firefox OS phones, I think mine was like $90?
It had it's problems but phone calls and SMS worked reliably.
Disappointed to discover that this link does NOT take me to plans for an open source washing machine...
Perhaps worth noting this is
not Peter Hessler the OpenBSD developer...
I was confused for a second there...
The only news I really watch is NHK Newsline[0], which is outside my country.
Mainly because my wife's family is from the region (not Japan) and NHK is in English and live every hour. So I can stay up to date with events in the pacific and I don't hear much about US politics.
Do I miss some stuff? Sure, but the alternative is not watching the news at all or watching it in a non-english language.
