Re:OpenWrt 22.03 on Tuesday September 06, 2022 @05:20AM (#32734744)
I do love OpenWrt but the upgrade experience is still a pain because user-installed packages need to be reinstalled manually. More so if your WAN connection relies on these packages (USB modems), then you have to either pre-download them or build a custom image.
You could combine it with Snapcast to achieve that

Re:I’m not convinced by the new lab leak debunking on Sunday March 06, 2022 @01:51AM (#30575584)
So what would be the difference? Through the lab-leak discussion we have identified labs as a _potential_ threat that need tighter security measures. Even if this virus did not originate in a lab we are just waiting for one that actually does.

Re:Don't Be Anti Car. Be Pro Something Else. on Monday July 26, 2021 @02:22AM (#27956286)
Public traffic space is limited (and in major cities exhausted) supply. Being "pro something else" is automatically anti-something. If do not make the latter part explicit it will just hurt the weakest group (typically reducing space for pedestrians).
Re:What's Inside the EU Green Pass QR Code? on Tuesday June 22, 2021 @09:26AM (#27591288)
Because you need a way for the pub to authenticate that this is indeed your qr code (matching your id)
Re:Am I Doctor Stallman? on Saturday April 24, 2021 @01:59AM (#26922604)
Simple solution: just use the correct title abbreviation: Dr.h.c.

Edit: Also technically he would not be called Dr.h.c x12 but "Dr.h.c. mult.".

Greetings from a country obsessed with titles...

Re:Netdata: Open-source real-time monitoring platform on Wednesday April 21, 2021 @01:10PM (#26892448)
I have played around with netdata just yesterday on my home server. Great tool, but the defaults are overkill for my needs. After spending an hour trying to simplify (=disable most of the "collectors") using the documentation, I finally gave up.

Settled on neofetch [1] instead: pure bash, wrote my own custom inputs including color coding for incident reporting in less time than it took me to strip down netdata. Highly recommended if you want to spend your time on other things than (setting up) server monitoring.

The moment you realize that the only way you notice Google is down is through HN.

Recently switched to Jellyfin+Gelli Android app. Great experience so far, also the web interface is nice to use on both mobile and desktop.

All of this. However, the issue is that coding the paper is only _one_ (and often not the biggest) step from idea to published paper. Worse, once the paper is published typically nobody cares for your code and whether its test coverage is x% (at least here in the social sciences).

I'm not saying that I support this (quite the opposite), but that's the outcome of our publish-fast-and-frequently-culture to get tenure.

Nota bene, I observe an increasing number of exceptions to this rule in my field, but still a minority.

Wireguard comes with an example script [1] that does DNS updates for peers, which works well for me in a cron job. Archwiki also has an example for systemd timers [2]. But if your question is specifically about phones, then this might get a bit more complicated to set up.
