Since the last update, I have to snip off the end of my password to log in
  • That probably means it was silently cutting off the password until now. Cursed, reminds me of the original unix crypt() which I think did the same.

  • Report shows that AAA games for iPhone and iPad aren’t exactly a hit with users
  • Eh, that’s not really true. Games from decades ago still have a good chance to play fine on modern Windows because Microsoft cares about backwards compatibility. That’s like one of the main appeals of Win32.

    I don’t think there’s a problem with deprecating and removing APIs like Apple does in principle but if you combine non-free/proprietary focused ecosystem with that, like they also do, it’s a software preservation disaster.

  • Apple finally adds support for RCS in latest iOS 18 beta | TechCrunch
  • While users can see the toggle if they have installed the iOS 18 developer beta

    Anyone know what toggle they are talking about? I’m not seeing anything in Messages settings nor Cellular settings. Or do they mean the toggle is US-exclusive?

    edit: Ah, I found a screenshot. It’s supposed to be under the MMS messaging toggle in Messages settings but doesn’t show up for everyone yet (including me).

  • Used VPN for cheaper YouTube Premium? Congrats, your subscription has been canceled
  • I'm not opposed to paying for online services in general, I'm just not going to pay them to make the site worse with every update. (Plus I kinda categorically refuse to give Google money at this point.)

  • Indie games using retro graphics
  • I need to mention the Enigma Trilogy here. It uses the retro graphics so well to its advantage to create a strong horror atmosphere that I don’t think could have been done anywhere near as well with high fidelity graphics.

    And it has a very small audience and definitely deserves a lot more so go check these games out! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/41914/THE_ENIGMA_TRILOGY/

  • Should I make this: (distroless) containers builder, by taking list of packages or a gentoo ebuild file
  • Unless you specifically want ebuilds, take a look at nixpkgs dockerTools. It does everything you list here.

  • How the hell should I even switch mail providers?
  • No. You don't own that. Plus you need direct control over DNS records since you need to set up MX and TXT records and I think some other records as well.

  • How the hell should I even switch mail providers?
  • While you're at this, get yourself your own domain so should you ever want to move provider again you don't have to change your mail address again and can just point the new provider to the same domain

  • “Systemd is the future”
  • It was added in v256, maybe you don't have that yet

  • Are your kitchen knives angry knives?
  • official knife post

  • Do you still have a pay phone in your city or town?
  • There’s one at the main station. It said out of order on the display when I looked at it. And they removed the one in my home town near where I grew up, I think there’s a phone for emergencies only now in its place or something like that.

  • How do y'all backup docker databases with backup programs like Borg/Restic?
  • My backup service runs pg_dumpall, then borg create, then deletes the dump.

  • Team Fortress 2
  • I played so much TF2 from probably around 2014 until the dreadful matchmaking update. Still played a bit afterwards but not nearly as much. By far the most I've played Spy and Engineer, always liked them because they were the most unique. Scout after that.

  • Wireguard self hosting - Some tricks I don't see mentioned in too many tutorials
  • Another tip: take a look at systemd-networkd for managing your network connections! It has builtin support for creating wireguard tunnels and it's very nice.

  • I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen.
  • Yeah, I don't really have a problem with games except for the stuff added on purpose just to make the user experience worse like DRM. I was more thinking about trends like using Electron for desktop development.

  • I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen.
  • You can also build a chair out of shitty plywood that falls apart when someone who weighs a bit more sits on it, instead of quality cut wood. I mean, fine if you want to make a bad product but then you’re making a bad product.

    Linux doesn't serve birth time attribute over NFS

    According to this Phoronix article, Linux should support the birth time attribute in the NFS server since 5.18. However, it doesn't show up in the stat output when looking at the file through the NFS mount, or elsewhere (at least, the Dolphin file browser and also a macOS client):

    % stat file File: file Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 1048576 regular empty file Device: 0,70 Inode: 103416894 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/ saiko) Gid: ( 100/ users) Access: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100 Modify: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100 Change: 2023-12-17 03:22:45.368950609 +0100 Birth: -

    What gives? Running stat on the server directly, it shows the attribute. The backing file system is ext4, kernel 6.5.12. The client is using kernel 6.1.63.
