That’s androids fault. Their login input detection is spotty, and has been for a while now. https://9to5google.com/2024/10/06/android-autofill-password-manager-problems/

Honestly, this one. Handbrake was made as a wrapper for ffmpeg anyways.

It’s not the “native” defines how or when you learned to speak a language. It’s that how and when you learned a language that makes it “native”.

As a bonus, since this is English, “native language” also changes definition based on context. If you are filling out a form and they are asking demographical information, your native language is Cantonese. If you are filling out a resume and want to describe how well you speak English, then you can read/write English at the native level.

If you are in a casual conversation and someone asks what your native language is, then your answer will likely include a whole or part of the above story, to avoid confusion and to encourage more discussion. Essentially, both Cantonese and English fit your “native language” definition in that context.

Probably the latter. Doesn’t matter which it is though; they advertise both on their website.

Because I told them I used torrents. Their FAQ literally has a page with instructions for setting up torrents. Still does. I didn’t think it’d be an issue for them.

I don’t know about ‘locked’ so much as ‘hard to get running with headless linux’. I looked into it two or three times and was stymied by the various ways it went wrong.

In comparison, windscribe had me choose a port on their website, and then I used that in my docker run command and it just worked.

The strong other half of my reasoning was port forwarding being locked to GUI. I use a lot of scripts to keep my server restart process simple.

The unban was just to check if the refund process would go through. Since it didn’t then I did a chargeback.

About 8TiB upload and 2TiB download over the course of this whole mess. I don’t have exact numbers because WRT stopped counting for some reason, but I can infer based on January numbers.

Wasn’t sure if this was the right place, but I figured someone should know about this. For what it’s worth, I would actually recommend windscribe if you don’t plan on doing torrents all the time, or you have sub 1gbps internet. Just sucks that I hit their “unlimited” internet limits on my home connection.

They have a page on their site about chargebacks. They’re confidant they’ll win them, but they still ban because it costs them money. I’ve done one anyways; as far as my reading of their tos goes, I was in the right. Might as well make this experience cost both of us money, instead of just them.

In a GitHub ticket viewed by WIRED, Lavingia also suggested abandoning Drupal, a content management system (CMS) that the VA uses for publishing updates and information about the agency and the services it provides on VA facility websites. “I think we should consider removing Drupal as part of our workflow, and all content should just live in the codebase,” he wrote.

Sources say that the regular office administrators and health workers staffed at VA locations around the country are often the ones responsible for making sure that the content about their facilities are clear and up to date on their VA webpages. Instead of being able to log in to the CMS and update the appropriate text or pages, Lavingia’s suggestion would mean they’d need to go into the actual code of the website to make simple changes. Any mistakes could break the sites, and one source worried that such a technical task would be too big of an ask for nontechnical VA staffers.

Man they just keep trying to fuck shit up, don’t they?

The second half of the article talks about how the apps get around this permission requirement.

Usually they just disable all the hdmi ports except for cable and don’t bother to lock the final hdmi port to a specific device. So long as you have a long hdmi cable and nimble hands, it’s not too much effort to just pull out the cable hdmi and put in your own.

Directly to the clients from the already self-hosted server, exactly like all the other media hosting software does. Lmao.

How do y’all do your email and calendars? Those are the two things that aren’t easy to replace from proton.

Mind, my email needs to be reliable for work reasons.
