Re:Livenerf: Has Opus 5.5 been nerfed yet? on Wednesday September 30, 2026 @06:53AM (#49907097)
I dont really characterize a nerf as always by intent.

So I found this incident, as they called it, to still be relevant and why benchmarks such as the OP are useful.

Re:GrapheneOS in 2027 available on high-end Motorola phones on Tuesday August 25, 2026 @04:55AM (#49430847)
Im confused. Graphene is also Android. So yes, Graphene works, as long as the Bank is not extremely draconic with their security checks.

You can. Thats why I said most.

However at that point you'll likely pay for the privilege.

Re:GrapheneOS in 2027 available on high-end Motorola phones on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @01:21PM (#49364429)
In Europe at least, most banks require IOS or Android. Even to login into the web Frontend.
Are you using their web frontend?

That seems really broken.

I also get downgraded there all the time, but via API all is fine.

Re:Every GPU That Mattered on Tuesday April 07, 2026 @08:32AM (#47674292)
The point is that Nvidia popularized the term, Id guess.

Nvidia called the Geforce 256 the first ever GPU.

The best is likely Vyos. It acts quite similarly to routers from the likes of Arista/Cisco/Juniper.

Looking at the settings, its an option:

  Configure Overrides:                                                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                             
   1. Allow unsandboxed fallback                                                                                                                                            
    2. Strict sandbox mode (current)                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                             
  Allow unsandboxed fallback: When a command fails due to sandbox restrictions, Claude can retry with dangerouslyDisableSandbox to run outside the sandbox (falling back to  
   default permissions).                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                             
  Strict sandbox mode: All bash commands invoked by the model must run in the sandbox unless they are explicitly listed in excludedCommands.
Re:Never Buy A .online Domain on Wednesday February 25, 2026 @01:25PM (#47155545)
I don’t know about most of them, but I’ve used .pw for many years for most of my domains as pw is really cheap even on renewal.
Re:BGP Network Browser on Friday January 16, 2026 @03:20AM (#46644290)
>What would make something like this actually useful in day-to-day work?

Monitoring of BGP Changes for ASNs.

The other stuff isn't something I really need a new tool for.

There are other tools by Ripe, HE and the like that already allow me to see historical data.

The only point at which I need actual up-to-date to the minute data is during incidents. Hence the monitoring.

Re:Splice a Fibre on Saturday December 27, 2025 @04:28PM (#46405414)
Theres many.

Here is one Discussion/issue that is currently annoying me again.

https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/discussions/9515 https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/20005

Netbox is full of these kinds of things. Where people ask for stuff or even create PRs for it and the Maintainer of Netbox shoots it down because reason.

From what I know the law is passed already. And they will become illegal end of 2026.
If 20 minutes is all you need once a week, yeah it maybe doesnt make sense for you.

I have a dog and need to vacuum at least once a day, currently.

Without a robot vacuum, Id go crazy.

Re:Ubiquiti SFP Wizard on Tuesday October 28, 2025 @03:55PM (#45738210)
I like the pricing of this and especially the health check part. But the programming an SFP module part has been a thing forever. In Europe at least. Flexoptics for example have their own boxes to program optics.
Archive.is is broken if you use cloudflare dns.
Personally, Im currently looking at the switchbot vacuums.

They recently started working with Home Assistant with their "Works with" program.

Not 100% sure what the status of each robot is though.

But according to the FAQ, the vacuums still dont work when they are offline, as they will turn reset their wifi until they are online again.

> When the vacuum is disconnected from the internet, it will attempt to disconnect itself from Wi-Fi and reconnect itself until it can reach the Roborock servers.

Re:AMD's Chiplet APU: An Overview of Strix Halo on Saturday October 18, 2025 @03:35PM (#45629833)
I looked just now and it cost 2500 euro without any storage.

Was it on sale or something?

Considering both Graphene and Lineage have been complaining about google making development harder and harder for how long will that be a possibility?
Re:"Building my childhood dream PC" (IBM 2168) Part 1 on Friday September 12, 2025 @08:11AM (#45221279)
Cannot confirm.

I often look fondly at the hardware I have.

I recently build one pc for each PC generation of the 90s. (486,Pentium 1-2,Athlon)

Still love them even after having built them.

Finding back into DOS is quite interesting, since its so different to PCs today.

Re:De minimis has ended on Saturday August 30, 2025 @06:31PM (#45078564)
They dont demand it. Its a possibility that the company can do to make shipping easier for the customer.

If they dont, the package will be inspected in the destination country and taxed there. Making the shipment take longer and more expensive for the customer, as shipment companies levy additional fees.

Re:Open Banking and Payments Competition on Thursday August 14, 2025 @05:42AM (#44898556)
PSD2 is that standard.

I personally use Finanzguru (for the German market, it supports many banks).

Likely to be many others.

Re:I tried living on IPv6 for a day, and here's what happened on Saturday August 02, 2025 @04:39PM (#44771230)
I find these experiences really interesting, because in Germany all major ISPs have been doing IPv6 for years and years now.

I dont think any normal person thinks about IPv6 or IPv4 here.

Ive been using Tubearchivist with the extension for this.

https://github.com/tubearchivist/browser-extension

I really like the WebUI of Tubearchivist itself.

You need one of the following:

Google, Microsoft, Github, Apple or your own OIDC Provider.

They do not have their own account backend.

So you dont technically need a FAANG account if you have a Gitea, Gitlab, Authentik Account or something like that.

You can use it as that.

I use it as my podcast app.

I mostly only have the last 2-5 Episodes on my server for each Podcast. (you can automatically remove episodes if there are more than X)

Though I do keep all Episodes for 3 of my favourite Podcasts.

Quagga got forked though and is actively being developed.

FRRouting is the fork.

Re:Framework 13 AMD Setup with FreeBSD on Friday March 28, 2025 @03:47PM (#43509258)
Cool to hear that Regolith is working on sway support! Currently, Im using a Gnome extension for similar tiling window support. But its really really buggy.

I loved the idea of Regolith, just not the idea of going back to X11.

Will need to keep an eye on progress.

Re:Tesla sales dropped 60% in Germany on Wednesday February 12, 2025 @04:19AM (#43023481)
I doubt there's any kind of intent there.

But, honestly, if that is the end result; Trump supporters buying more electric cars, Id call that a win.
