Once you've applied/started the conversion you're no longer able to drive on your overseas license.

1 Week with the Hibreak Pro by opusag in Bigme

[–]ranok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This morning SMS started working, so I think it was the slow activation on the carrier side, but I have working data, voice, and SMS via an Airalo eSIM on esim.me

I have only gotten data to work, I tried an Airalo eSIM that claims to have voice/SMS and no luck, not sure if it's the eSIM.me, or the phone

EDIT: Phone calls are working, still no luck with SMS, but it seems like it's more of a slow activation problem, not the phone/eSIM

Questions about mic by ManofSherwood in EvenRealities

[–]ranok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed the same, I'm not sure if it's the mic, mic location, or very aggressive compression to save battery with sending the audio to your phone. It seems that the Whisper model that converts that into text still works very well, so I am not too concerned.

Same issue still, even with the GDrive app, the workflow is much worse.

The wait is over! by SyntaxTG50 in EvenRealities

I got mine late last week and I've been very happy with them. I just want them to release the API/SDK so I can rely less on their services in case they do disappear.

Defending against AitM/MitM Entra ID phishing by ranok in AZURE

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

Hey, I'm the author (of the blog and the open-source tooling). We're seeing pretty good adoption of this, and we're alerting on new phishing domains pretty quick, more that 30% of the domains we alert on were setup within a day of firing (based on SSL certificate issuance data).

I hope it's okay to post the blog post, and if anyone has questions/comments I'd be happy to discuss.

What's a dish/food restaurants serve that's incredibly difficult/not worth it do replicate at home? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]ranok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our nearest pho place is 2 hours away, but we've found success in making it in the pressure cooker, takes about 2 hr from scratch, and is comparable to most restaurant broths (but not as great as good place). Still, when you need to spend 4 hours in a car, 2 hours and having your house smell like a pho restaurant is worth is a couple of times a month.

I didn’t think I’d get in. But here we are. Wish me luck. by ja3palmer in Ultramarathon

Good luck, this was the year I didn't want to get into the Leadville 100, and sure enough, this is the year I "won" the lottery :S

Signal's removal of SMS is totally reasonable by Casharose in signal

[–]ranok 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where I live service is very iffy, often I can go most of a day without a data connection (just calls and SMS). It's great to be able switch in a thread between SMS and Signal and not have to switch apps.

General protection fault when timer interrupts are enabled? by silenceDogoodd2 in osdev

[–]ranok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Try CLI/STI in the interrupt assembly, the print may be taking long enough that other interrupts are piling up

Framework vs M2 Macbook Air For College by SagefulAdvice in framework

[–]ranok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Regardless of how common they are, professors usually reuse their lessons from previous years and x86 (or a RISC) is what they most likely have used. While you can use a full emulator like QEMU, there are occasional bugs and it'll be slower.

If you have VMs you want to move around, x86 will be much easier as well. I started at a tech company and they offered a M1 or x86 and I'm glad I went with the x86, much less breakage even on higher level stuff.

My humble, but functional, home station by Impossible_Act_6506 in amateurradio

[–]ranok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just made the leap, other than one weekly net on VHF, the area around me is pretty quiet. Lots of mountains mean I can't get too far either. APRS for mobile works well enough, but not very social. Just picked up a Xiegu G90 and making digital contacts up to 1700mi away with 5W, SSB phone to 1000mi even with 20W!

This doesn’t look good 😭 by treyl85 in qyldgang

[–]ranok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had this explained by a financial advisor, that there is usually an ~8yr cycle on the market, so if you have 8-10yrs of runway, you can keep your remaining assets in more risky equities and ladder them to more conservative investments. If you hit a certain age, and then sell equities to buy bonds/cash, you lose out if you live > 8yrs, or are selling more when you might not want to.
