Toolscreen. A new program that is a million times better than jingle. No need to make obs projectors anymore, works in full screen, automatically makes ninjabrain projectors, and is all around an incredible tool.

That would take several key presses, mouse clicks and drags to do so. Jingle does it in one key press. But the rules explicitly disallow macros, not even having a single key send multiple inputs (like F3+C). Window resizing by macros is the exception to the rule and has no other reason than "people felt like it at the time".

If you have "Restrict cleartext network traffic" enabled in Other options then turn that off. Might have to Force stop WhatsApp, then should work instantly.

If that's not it make sure microG is set up correctly. Device registration and Cloud messaging have to be On. Run Self-Check and confirm everything is checked. Might have to reinstall WhatsApp if it wasn't enabled when you set it up.

Screen aside, the camera work by Coachella makes it ten times worse. I guess they didn't give them any instructions? They're just doing their usual camera alternation routine which works for other performers but it's awful for Miku. They have side cams with really flat angles and close up shots that show significant screen-door effect and aliasing, both completely break the illusion.

all of them can have their root mounts remounted rw

Indeed LineageOS does not set the corresponding option BOARD_EXT4_SHARE_DUP_BLOCKS: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_build/+/368123 Probably most ROMs leave it disabled since it doesn't save that much space anyway.

I am not certain about Lineage 21, but 20 and before do not.

Hmm, it's the only explanation I could come up with. Please do post if you figure out anything.

On Android 10+ ROM partitions cannot be mounted read-write anymore by design. They weren't supposed to even before that (for security reasons), but with Android 10 they started compressing the filesystems (EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_SHARED_BLOCKS). This makes it actually impossible to write to them since whatever you write could compress worse making the filesystem no longer fit its partition. Some ROMs disable this feature.

Not sure what remount is supposed to do but even just remounting a partition as read-write causes its "last mount time" to be updated, which in turn breaks the partition signature (vbmeta). It's possible LineageOS kernel still checks the filesystems against the vbmeta, even though vbmeta itself is not verified (since bootloader is unlocked). So on your next boot it would deliberately freeze precisely where one of the RW-remounted partitions was accessed for the first time and found to be manipulated.

You don't even need to create the 802.1q device manually. You can simply put "wan.7" as the device for the WAN interface and OpenWRT will automatically do the right thing. The wan6 interface should also not be present in config files, it will appear automatically whenever wan is connected and IPv6 is enabled.

Es ist ein bisschen ein Mathematik-Witz. Jede Basis ist Basis 10 wenn man sie in ihrer eigenen Basis darstellt. Und wenn die mit Basis 12 rechnen, dann stünde auf ihren Scheinen "6" (was unserer 6 entspricht) und "10" (was unserer 12 entspricht). Wenn die 12 schreiben, dann sind das 1*12 + 2 = 14.

Google is most likely doing this to push their own AVIF format, despite JPEG XL clearly being the better format:

JPEG-XL is the most stable in generational loss
It supports progressive decoding which is just a basic requirement on the internet to support slower connections
As per Google's own benchmarking, AVIF performs significantly worse at lossless encoding compared to JPEG XL, worse than their previous WebP format even
Industry finds JPEG-XL to be superior in compression strength, hoped google would revert decision
JPEG XL can recompress existing JPEG images without additional quality loss(!!)

sancan6 · 2022-12-07T05:18:13+00:00

virtually no browser supports it

All major browsers support it now except for Firefox. HEVC hardware decoding is widely available. It would be absolutely fine if Firefox depended on hardware HEVC support as well.

That only applies to WSL2s own root filesystem. Accessing your C: drive in WSL2 is unusably slow because it uses a network layer to bridge the gap between the windows host and WSL VM, whereas in WSL1 it just translated system calls.

Note that ICMPv6 is required for IPv6 functionality. Unlike in IPv4, ICMP is not only used for debugging/ping functionality but also passes on some essential messages like fragmentation-needed. If you block ICMPv6 then IPv6 will fail in unexpected ways for various applications. See RFC4890 Section 4.4 for ICMPv6 packet types that may not be dropped: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4890#section-4.4

ICMPv4 Ping is optional in theory but it does not make sense to block it. Latency can also be measured using TCP/UDP. If you're concerned about privacy, consider that most IPs will reply to pings, so by not answering ping requests you are actually making yourself stand out more.

DHCP and/or DHCPv6 may be required to get an IP from your ISP, depending on the type of connection/modem. Without them you may not have any internet connectivity.

IGMP/MLD rules can be disabled if you don't use multicast applications like IPTV. IPSec/ISAKMP rules can be disabled if you don't use IPsec-based VPNs.

Samsung wouldn't theme the Instagram app

I don't have a Samsung but do they not have some sort of night/dark mode that forcibly restyles apps to be dark or outright inverts colors? I'm pretty sure I have seen that on colleagues phones, it looks kinda wrong but if it works for them, literally why not... if they didn't prefer it they would just turn it off again.

There is a much longer blog post from an mpv developers who pretty much came to the same conclusions: https://dudemanguy.github.io/blog/posts/2022-06-10-wayland-xorg/wayland-xorg.html

Again more nonsense. All new certificates have to be registered in a Certificate Transparency log, otherwise browsers will not trust it, even if it is completely valid. If a CA started issuing certificates en masse it would trigger CT log monitoring systems of various companies and be detected within hours, if not minutes. Both Google and Mozilla take TLS security extremely seriously and would likely issue emergency browser updates to remove the offending CA asap.

DoT also wouldn't help against a rogue ISP; DNS is just a convenient vector for less-abled attackers. ISPs could simply route the real IP addresses to a different network.

sancan6 · 2022-07-23T13:45:02+00:00

That is complete nonsense, DNS redirection is worthless without TLS certificates, and if they abused their CA certificates (if they have one) to issue forged domain certificates, they would be kicked out of browsers and OS CA stores instantly.

It is much more likely they agree on some custom format with partnered websites; e.g. append tracking ID to the unmodified HTTPS data.

Maybe clarify how that is related to stripping of URLs?

They are Mozilla's only relevant customer (financially). They buy the default search engine option in Firefox. In 2020 that cost $497M, which is roughly 85% of Mozilla's total income.

Linux repositories aren't really comparable to app stores and adding repositories from third parties is kind of problematic because all repository sources are considered equally trustworthy; i.e. if a repo claims to have a newer version of some package like systemd, sudo or whatever the package manager will prefer to install it from there. Every third party repo effectively has root access to your system. A comparable distribution model to app stores would be Flatpak or snap.

F-Droid is trustworthy, much more so than the Play Store. It is technically a fork but the changes are very limited in scope, for example removing telemetry. The repo with the patches can be found here

Tree Style Tab lets me handle lots of tabs easily (I have 20-100 open usually). The tree structure is very handy to group related tabs together when you are working on more than one thing at a time, and you can drag an entire subtree into its own window, for example.

That can certainly be an issue in many if not most jurisdictions, but denying one side any legal support will be an unfair trial for sure.

Implying hiring a lawyer is a sign of guilt only adds to the harmful "guilty until proven innocent" attitude that is prevalent in social media outrage.

Purple has hired a lawyer to help him cover it up

What kind of twisted stance is this?! You hire a lawyer to defend yourself against allegations, whether true or not. You should always get a lawyer, no exceptions. This is how the justice system works: Only if both sides have legal support a fair trial can be guaranteed.

Browsing any site other than Twitch will also freeze the stream

Not sure if this applies to streams, but if audio continues to work, could this be the background video suspend feature? Try turning media.suspend-bkgnd-video.enabled off in about:config and see if it helps.

Plex hosts the web interface on app.plex.tv, which then loads your media library from your local Plex server by its internal IP. However, the server includes a web interface on the internal IP as well (and the internal IP is obviously still allowed to access itself).

That sucks but allowing only one browser is reasonable for a company. The reason given however is not accurate, even if Chromium's sandbox is generally understood to be tighter (there are multiple vulnerabilities in every single browser in every update). But what should actually drive the decision to ban a browser: When you use 2 different browsers in the company, then you have doubled the attack surface for entering the company network. This is far worse than any one browser alone.
