Exactly. Surprised to see 'just don't let them find you' so far down when it should be the first advice.

Finally found the person who was the target audience for garbage consoles claiming 30fps gaming is the norm. That makes one. :D

Ublock seems to work with this one.

Hopefully, never. There's enough ad-blocking arms race as it is.

Doing just fine calling most of the american insanity for what it is. Beating apple and the likes into submission and making them produce actually somewhat good products.
Because wireguard to tailscale is like git to git GUIs. It's solid base but never should be used separately without a proper wrapper if one wants to keep one's sanity.
Re:The future of Flipper Zero development on Sunday July 05, 2026 @05:04PM (#48797928)
I can understand why that happened at least remotely. If you do all those things they refused 'officially', it might be easier for stupid government idiots to paint it as a dangerous illegal tool.

Adding the necessary hardware while refusing to support arbitrarily iLLegAl things is the best of both worlds.

Re:Podman v6.0.0 on Thursday July 02, 2026 @06:32PM (#48768221)
Its not only intimidating, its clunky and error-prone. That's the answer to OP's question, this podman thing does not have good UX story.
exactly

you're stealing from the open internet, the best case punishment you should hope for is that these gains are socialized back

neither is bash or even sh for that matter :) if you have bash, you probably have apk or apt
Re:Upcoming breaking changes for NPM v12 on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @05:00AM (#48473504)
It absolutely should and maybe I'll run and advertise a fork that will behave properly. Yay open-source.
Re:Upcoming breaking changes for NPM v12 on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @04:46AM (#48473374)
Then don't use it. Just don't presume to tell me if I can or can't.
Re:Upcoming breaking changes for NPM v12 on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @04:39AM (#48473318)
Absolutely not, there are plenty of use-cases for them. https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package comes to mind off the top of my head.

Hopefully current hysteria will not result in some bs decisions like this.

yees, any second now!

the leap here is browser extensions appearing to block all mentions of ai across the web

and that's a good thing

which would be pretend doing it, make 1000 mistakes then say "you're absolutely right" after you point to it's fuckups
I think at least on windows you can powercycle it quickly a few times until it gives up this behavior. Not sure about Chromebooks.
Re:Scrcpy v4.0 on Wednesday May 13, 2026 @07:53AM (#48120715)
This thing also helps capture images from stupid crap apps that prohibit screenshots. On my rooted phone with a disable-flag-secure module installed, adb screenshots are still black.

Recording a video via scrcpy works on the other hand. Amazing, agreed.

Yes, it's absolutely the frameworks. That each weigh <100KB. Definitely frameworks :D

Edit:

I don't even know where you lot get these numbers from nowadays, smh.

Just checked, in Slovakia, google.com is 1MB (compressed) total with cache disabled. 400kib of those is my own extension that I installed which is counted among the 'loaded scripts'. Loads in 400ms, blink of an eye.

Framework rants are completely detached from reality, as always.

I checked your page. Wanted to ask, are you using longhorn with k3s for replicated volumes? How beefy a box do you need for that (CPU/MEM/Disk speed)?

I have several VMs in clouds with similar k3s architecture as yours and am wondering if there are any benefits to installing longhorn vs sticking to logical (postgres, mimir, whateveritis) replication instead.

It's simple to use only for toy use cases, that's why nobody uses it. The article everyone in this thread seems to like only goes as far as 'I pushed to git so it must be ok' which is laughable and I'm not even DevOps.

What happens if it errored on deployment or after that? you wanna write custom (bash? :D) hooks for that? What about upgrading your 'very vertically scalable' box? What if it doesn't come up after the upgrade? your downtime is suddenly hours, oops.

The k8s denial is strong and now rivals frontend frameworks denial. Never fails to amuse.

Then you learn podman can't even list containers for all users properly and it kind of starts smelling like the whole ip4 vs ip6 debacle: bunch of vocal proponents wanting you to subject yourself to endless torture for no discernible reason.
Re:How Monero's proof of work works on Monday May 04, 2026 @11:20AM (#48009814)
> If so, why does it make sense that people can "generate" cash by proving some amount of work done?

Because you need an incentive for 'miners' to participate in transaction processing.

Main functionality is transactions which are not controlled by any single entity (like the government).

Most of it is speculation unfortunately, which gives it a bad name, drowning out real usecases.

It does not much matter if it imports 300 or 30 of them, those vulns will land somewhere in those 30 with equal frequency statistically. If you are advocating developing without dependencies at all, then please start (with any language) and show us all how much you actually ship.

JS is a target of these dumb accusations because it's literally the best cross-platform way to ship apps. Stop inventing issues where there are none.

The above comment is just a bunch of generalizations not meant to address seriously that's why.
Re:WebUSB Extension for Firefox on Monday April 20, 2026 @11:35AM (#47835853)
Yep. FlipperZero, Android, now some random chinese handheld radio - just some of the things I didn't have to install some crap unsandboxed app to flash in the last 3 months. Absolutely revolutionary.
Re:WebUSB Extension for Firefox on Monday April 20, 2026 @10:04AM (#47834556)
You simply don't. This quest of saving idiots from themselves is not gaining anyone anything and meanwhile other people get more and more useless restrictions.
Re:WebUSB Extension for Firefox on Monday April 20, 2026 @09:33AM (#47834095)
And I'll just fire up a chrome instance which I specifically keep for when my daily driver firefox decides to spazz out and not implement basics in 2026 :'(
Best case is they throw their endless amount of paper at it without touching it. At least something useful comes out of this AI crap then. One can dream.
