Brb uploading a 5GiB file from /dev/urandom to make sure there isn’t a byte of space left in OneDrive for them to do this to me.

The screenshot doesn’t show any version change to signal - the version number is the same, so I was just answering why you might see an update like that since I thought that was part of your question.

Those might be flatpak “refreshes”, which show up as “updating to the same version”. As described by a flatpak maintainer, sometimes an app or runtime gets updated without changing the user-facing version number. I assume that’s what you’re seeing here.

I’m gonna go with unlikely.

Huh, I already signed up for it because they started requiring it a while back to access historical tax return documents through the IRS website.

One game I used to play recently started working suddenly in the latest proton major release (I think 9), it wasn’t mentioned in the release notes and it has no community around the game since it was released around windows vista, as well as being pulled from stores for many years (I still have it on steam) so I don’t think anyone intentionally fixed it but probably just a result of some system call being implemented or tweaked to behave closer to correct.

So yeah, it’s very good to test your broken wine apps every 6 months to a year because slowly anything I ever had issues with in wine is starting to work.

I still have some 3gp/3gpp videos recorded on my old slide. What a pain. And I think depending on whether your phone was gsm/CDMA would affect whether it recorded to .3gp or .3g2.

I just discovered how easy ollama and open webui are to set up so I’ve been using llama3 locally too, it was like 20 lines in docker compose, and although I’ve been using gpt3.5 on and off for a long time I’m much more comfortable using models run locally so I’ve been playing with it a lot more. It’s also cool being able to easily switch models at any point during a conversation. I have like 15 models downloaded, mostly 7b and a few 13b models and they all run fast enough on CPU and generate slightly slower than reading speed and only take ~15-30 seconds to start spitting out a response.

Next I want to set up a vscode plugin so I can use my own locally run codegen models from within vscode.

Apparently it’s not very hard to negate the system prompt…

Passkeys are like using a private key to log in. There are several ways it’s better:

• Passwords can be stored improperly by a website leading it to be leaked
  • Passkeys never leave the device so a website being breached can never leak your passkey
  • The website only stores the public portion of the key which is useless to an attacker
  • Passkeys can only be stolen by attacking and breaching the device or password manager that holds it
• Passwords can and often are reused across multiple sites so a single leaked password can compromise many sites
  • Passkeys are created for each site so an attacker would need to steal each one separately
• Passwords can be phished by fooling a user into entering the password
  • Passkeys can’t be phished easily since it’s designed not to leave the device - if such an attack was found it could be patched in the browser / password manager. You can’t patch all password forms to stop phishing in the same way

If you’re familiar with ssh keys, it’s similar to that and why the top security recommendation for new servers is to disable passwords and use keys instead.

This seems to be about android, meant just desktop, where I use Firefox and bitwarden. It works fine with GitHub where I created and use a passkey but PayPal’s faq says they only support chrome and safari.

Not only passkey managers but websites too. I tried to set up a passkey for PayPal but they don’t let you set it up unless you’re using chrome or safari

It syncs your photos so typically your photos will be both backed up to your cloud and on your device. Photos in the app show an icon depending on whether it’s local only (hasn’t been backed up yet) or on both cloud and local, or cloud only (if you deleted the local copy). There will eventually be a feature that allows you to bulk delete all local copies of photos that are backed up (similar to Google photos app’s free up space feature) but for now photos will keep a local copy unless you select the specific photo and delete the local copy.

Since photos and videos are often local + cloud, that means if you open a photo in the immich gallery which has been cloud synced but still available locally, sharing to another app will use the local copy. Otherwise it will download the photo before sharing to the other app. So it’s pretty seamless in that way.

Like others suggested, immich might be able to solve the use case - it just means you have to sync your photos to immich for the server to index the photos. Then in the app you can search for any recognized objects / locations / etc so from your phone it works about the same as Google photos search. Like I can search beach or cat or whatever from my phone and find all of those photos, and it’s private since it’s self hosted.

I run immich on my nas so it does both photo backup and provides a nice high performance searchable app / web UI to browse and organize photos into albums. It also does private face recognition and tags people, which are searchable too (the most recent app update actually just brought advanced search to the mobile app) so you can select john doe under the people filters and search fish and up comes only pictures of john showing off fish he caught.

Did you make sure to stop network manager too? I think disabling it tells it not to start it automatically but I think if it was already running it may have stayed up and maybe it brought the interface back up.

That’s my only guess, if ip link shows it as down still then idk. NetworkManager also has its own Mac spoofing thing so you might have better success editing the properties of the network connection in NetworkManager and putting a new Mac in the cloned Mac address field. I’ve only used macchanger with netctl.

Damn. I managed to get basic insurance for like $75/mo but it’s one where they require you to install a tracking app on your phone for the first month that gives you a higher rate if you accelerate or brake hard. I just drove like a grandma for a month and uninstalled it after.

I imagine they’re one of those people who just have piles of trash in their car sliding around the floor and probably dashboard too.

Has anybody made a matrix app that looks like a discord clone? That sounds easier since the federated rich text chat is already made, the current clients don’t really appeal to the discord crowd.

If only they could include phones that are within those 7 years but already ended support. I’m still on a Pixel 5 which was released 3.5 years ago.

Luckily lineage is keeping it going strong on android 14.

Yep they give the command in the article but to install an APK, all you have to do is plug into a computer that has the APK downloaded and use adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block appname.apk

I used it on android 14 and it looks like it’ll also work on 15
