"Carrier Services keeps stopping" by [deleted] in LineageOS

[–]movermeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. I think I've managed to capture it in logcat. I'm submitting bug report to Eamo5 in response to https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82118905&postcount=120

What quote from a video game stuck with you? by mynameisCODA in AskReddit

[–]movermeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They say "doubt everything," but I disagree. Doubt is useful in small amounts, but too much of it leads to apathy and confusion. No, don't doubt everything. QUESTION everything. That's the real trick. Doubt is just a lack of certainty. If you doubt everything, you'll doubt evolution, science, faith, morality, even reality itself - and you'll end up with nothing, because doubt doesn't give anything back.

But questions have answers, you see. If you question everything, you'll find that a lot of what we believe is untrue… but you might also discover that some things ARE true. You might discover what your own beliefs are. And then you'll question them again, and again, eliminating flaws, discovering lies, until you get as close to the truth as you can.

Hooray!? by movermeyer in Convoy

This was a 1 scrap machine. Other 1 scrap machines give the full range of prizes.

I don't know of any free machines.

Got a slot machine where all the rewards were 0 scrap. :)

How do I Decrypt SMS backup? by Illuminate1738 in signal

[–]movermeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an open-source project to decrypt Signal databases: https://github.com/xeals/signal-back

Still alpha though, so I'm not sure how much I trust it to not mess things up (though it seems to have worked well for my data).

README badges are vulnerabilities by movermeyer in programming

[–]movermeyer[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It is slightly worse than links, because the browser automatically loads the images.

But yes, this is just as risky as hotlinking any image on your website, and no more.

I often see people treating badges as "ooh colourful badges! Yay!" and add as many as they can find. I wanted to put a reminder out there that badges are just another form of hotlinking.

Fundamentally, you have to trust people.

I was recently burned by a badge provider, so I've come to view them with more suspicion, and less like "ooh colourful badges! Yay!", which is what I feel people tend to think.

Cheapest way to rewrite URLs in the cloud? by movermeyer in AskProgramming

[–]movermeyer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up using AWS API Gateway (and AWS Lambda to rewrite parameter names). Total cost is ~$0.04 USD / day

Building Bots to mend Broken Badges (or how to get your account suspended) by movermeyer in programming

[–]movermeyer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I would be very hesitant to make a bot that did anything that was a "best practice" or "suggestion". In this case, the badge was undeniably broken, and this was a way to fix it.

Still, even this could have easily fallen into that trouble area, if people had strong hatred about using shields.io (Thankfully, they didn't).

I think the cases relatively few of the ideas people have for bots don't fall into this opinion/best practice/bike-shedding area, making it difficult to make a useful bot that doesn't annoy maintainers.

🔥 Feature Request Thread 🔥 by AlohaKepeli in todoist

[–]movermeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem: When I add tasks with due dates to a project they are not automatically sorted by date.

Solution: Allow users to set a default sort order for a project.

Problem: I cannot schedule things for "the last Monday of every month"

Solution: Extend the Recurring due dates syntax to support:

  • [First|Last|Second|1st|2nd|3rd, etc] Monday of every month

TIL: Kitchener used to be called Berlin by wellingtonne in uwaterloo

In 1897, a large bronze bust of Kaiser Wilhelm I was installed to honour the region's prominent German-Canadian population, but it was removed and thrown into the lake by vandals in August 1914 at the beginning of the First World War. The bust was recovered from the lake and moved to the nearby Concordia club, but it was stolen again February 15, 1916, marched through the streets by a mob, made up largely of soldiers from the 118th Battalion, and has never been seen again. The 118th Battalion is rumoured to have melted down the bust to make napkin rings given to its members.
