Nice overview. Are the performance Advantages mentioned?

I didn't know about the pyupgrade tool. Very useful.

Re:Signal on Android: Images sent to wrong contacts on Sunday July 25, 2021 @01:29PM (#27951095)
A non-techie relative of mine told me about images being sent to wrong people and them asking why they sent the photo. I first assumed it was just user error but apparently that's quite a bit data leak on signals side.

If you cannot google for exploits using the name it's safe. Checkmate hackers.

Security through anonymity?

Re:Critical Bluetooth vulnerability in Android on Friday February 07, 2020 @06:51AM (#22265123)
I know there are means to defeat safetynet but honestly I was glad not to tweak my phones anymore and happy without a rooted firmware.

I remember the times of endless tweaking and patching after some Google Play services update a few years ago.

My OnePlus 3 phone just got its last security patch and is now out of support from the manufacturer.

I use bluetooth constantly for my smartwatch and headphones.

I think it's time for custom firmware just because of this. Goodby banking apps and Google Pay, because apparently a newer but unofficial OS is more insecure [1].

Re:Enabling IPv6 in Docker on Friday December 13, 2019 @03:14PM (#21784977)
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to enable IPv6 for docker when you have a dynamic IPv6 prefix (home ISP).
That is basically freifunk. It is a openwrt router firmware with open wifi and all traffic is routed through VPN outside of Germany to circumvent the legal bullshit.

Sounds like bufferbloat to me. Tried using smart queue management like fq_codel on your end? Or is it an overloaded LTE cell?
