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.

Even better is your monthly streaming bill being $10 in electricity and a $5 VPN subscription (if you’re in a country where your ISP sends angry letters and you don’t opt for Usenet instead)

My gaming PC is sticking with 10 for the foreseeable future, it’s my only windows machine and that’s because it’s a beatsaber and fusion360 machine and I don’t want to be bothered with fixing something when I want to get a workout session in or need to urgently design a part.

P.S. if anyone knows how to get fusion working in wine I’m all ears

I don’t remember actually but I checked the file metadata and I have the template in my downloads folder next to this which has an exif tag of 2 minutes later with gimp metadata so I’m pretty sure I must have made it, which makes it a bit more impressive since I probably just sent it to friends privately and didn’t post it anywhere it could have been scraped for training.

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.

I’m curious if it could solve the traffic light and crosswalk ones, I would try but I’m out of free image uploads from asking it to explain memes to test its cultural knowledge.

Not unless the game has an offline mode and you download the depot files and bundle it with a nosteam launcher then leave that to your next of kin.

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.

Are there any foss RCS apps or is it still exclusive to Google’s messages app? I feel like it would be 2 steps forward 1 step back for me to quit Google photos for immich and then exchange aosp messaging for Google messages.

I switched from Google photos to immich so I could keep my photos more private (self hosted on my own NAS). I still keep Google photos installed on my phone so I can edit photos (the editor is really nice to use). Every time I open it, it bugs me to resume backing up to Google. This week I found that it had started backing up to Google again although I don’t remember accepting so I had to go and clear out all the uploaded photos again.

I hate this. Even when I decline to back up it usually then nags me with a second screen asking if I want to do a one time backup. Like, no. I don’t want to send any of my photos to Google.

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.

The fork with sponsorblock is unfortunately very buggy, scrolling comments causes it to crash and lag, some videos just show “content unavailable” and I constantly get “something went wrong” banners popping up - even though sometimes nothing looks wrong. Vanced rarely gives me any issues aside from needing to be repatched a couple times a year.

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
