0x1ch··on ICE Has Been Dumping Protester Photos into a Palantir Database
Hey guys, if you have a dashcam that can record at any time, start hitting that button when you think there might even be an inkling of an unmarked vehicle by you. Back up that footage and save it.
0x1ch··on I could've accessed 17T Microsoft records
Well yeah. Why else would you tell off a massive company in the FANG circle as a budding security researcher in their teens.
0x1ch··on I could've accessed 17T Microsoft records
At that age in the mid 2000s, I would be foaming at the mouth to tell a FANG company to eat dirt over something like a disclosure + unpaid bounty. But if he got the money and didn't negotiate... You live and you learn.
0x1ch··on Everybody’s home. No one’s coming over
I got peered out of my friend group in college which scarred me getting out of school. I really just haven't tried to fix or amend anything since then. Maybe other young men feel the same, but it's like moving a boulder uphill my brain to convince myself to go out and visit anyone these days. That with all the other social / tech factors, I can agree with the general sentiment of the article.
0x1ch··on MongoDB CEO resigns to join Meta
CEOs manage to fail upwards their entire career, I don't suspect this will be any different. Just some "nerds on a forum" who got annoyed with his personal decisions.
0x1ch··on I switched to Brave
Firefox works on 99% of websites I use. In fact, it's always some weird AI product or SaaS product when something complains about user agents, so low quality and not worth looking at.
0x1ch··on I said no and Apple said yes
There's definitely some rough edges still. I wasn't ever able to get CUPS to work with the specific model of Canon imageRunner printers we had in the office. I also never need to print, so I stopped trying after it wouldn't take a few test prints.

LLMs are great though. I had a physical RAM issue that resulted in a bad pacman upgrade, failing the mkinitcpio process and corrupting that kernel upgrade. I had never ran into this before and it was complicated by LUKS being enabled. Claude was able to get me the right steps to remount the LUKS drives while I was chrooted in on a live USB, from there I was able to reupgrade and all was well.

0x1ch··on UK military jamming other nations' satellites to defend itself, BBC told
I should start calling my jar of quarters the "laundry tokens" haha.
0x1ch··on UK military jamming other nations' satellites to defend itself, BBC told
It's not and it's also not uniquely a British thing either. Most of my friends and myself use our phones as wallets, in the US. The only time I use my physical cards is to pull cash from the ATM, ha.
0x1ch··on I said no and Apple said yes
Inversely, I've ran KDE on bleeding edge for three years now and have only ran into a handful of bugs, and nothing critical that required me to drop to a terminal to fix. The networking issue seems particularly specific and I have never seen this occur across any of my desktop or laptops.
0x1ch··on Android 17 is the first since 3.x to add new APIs without releasing to the AOSP
I think OP misspoke. He probably meant that they're not able to be unlocked by the consumers, usually.
0x1ch··on Cloudflare Quick Tunnels
I think Tailscale would've fit my needs perfectly fine, but the management makes access control and grouping dead simple in netbird. It also generates a nice little map of your peers, their groups, and connected nodes etc. Quick visual on your topology.
0x1ch··on Cloudflare Quick Tunnels
Also a very good alternative. I went on a spree and tried out all of the self hostable alternatives and this was definitely a runner up to netbird. The self hosted tailscale is also good, just not as polished as these two projects are.
0x1ch··on Cloudflare Quick Tunnels
Alternatively, Netbird has been a dream to use over the last half year or so. I think their server software has had some hiccups on new releases, but I stagger those updates anyways. All self hosted, similar concept to Tailscale, very good management UI baked into the self hosted product.
0x1ch··on The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities
You're on the nose. My parent passed shortly after I went to University. It was tough and much easier to put all of her belongings in storage for four years, then it was dealing with it then and there while renting and in between jobs.
0x1ch··on I hate you Microsoft
Agreed. My resume and slides are all templated with Typst, but I can't be bothered trying UML languages to make diagrams that'll probably be referenced once or twice a year, if ever.
0x1ch··on Quake – 30th Anniversary Update
Twitch shooters are niche in the first place, and it has an even more niche player base that isn't majority American. I think it's a hard sell when 90% of the diehard community built their skill on Quake Live, which comparatively takes far less resources than Champions or UE4. Bethesda then switched the F2P status of Champs and Live, which was not a popular move.
0x1ch··on Quake – 30th Anniversary Update
Well, this update doesn't mean much overall in the Quake scene, if you actually play it for the PvP. Quake Live has held it down since 2012-ish, and was always a free-to-play game.

Champions came out, most of the community from Quake Live stayed on live. Bethesda in all their wisdom made it cost $10, I assume to sway new gamers into downloading Champions (which they also made F2P shortly after release). So effectively, they swapped the F2P of both games, and the free one is the less preferred option in the scene.

0x1ch··on Running local LLMs offline on a ten-hour flight
Man, I hate being rude because I myself weighed 230lbs once upon a time, I get it. I just dealt with a 200lb+ man who spread his legs past the arm rests. Pissed me off the whole flight because I had to contort my body in my own seat so he wasn't spilling into me.
0x1ch··on Jimi Hendrix was a systems engineer
Probably similar to what I do with my papers and resumes, I write them myself then throw them through LLMs for suggestions and corrections, manually reviewing the output.
0x1ch··on Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras
Any cheap camera with the IR filter removed from the lens. Some better than others.
0x1ch··on Magical Mushroom – Europe's first industrial-scale mycelium packaging producer
Wild spores and such yeah. When you purchase spores for the intent of growing them, you generally get a kit to mix them into a syringe or they already arrive in the syringe ready to be used. I tried growing some culinary strains and they generally come in the mail like that.
0x1ch··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
This is probably the best alternative provider for individuals that I could find, unless you're orchestrating a fleet of servers or something. Personally I'll wait out my next billing cycle with hetzner, as I expect other hosts to follow shortly.
0x1ch··on Magical Mushroom – Europe's first industrial-scale mycelium packaging producer
I imagine it would require the bad spores to be carried with the good ones. Typically you get a slurry solution that you carry in distilled water, injecting your substrates. That would need to have the bad stuff in it as well.
0x1ch··on Blue light filters don't work – controlling total luminance is a better bet
End of the day, dark mode would've been totally ignored if there wasn't a perceivable benefit, placebo or not. People want to make everything difficult, I guess.
0x1ch··on Keep Android Open
The ability to install signed and unsigned APKs directly correlates to the financial institution policy regarding mobile devices and banking apps. Unsure how you've separated these two.
0x1ch··on Facebook is cooked
New user. To see replies THAT fast on a new user reply which generally isn't pushed to the top of the feed, I find that very interesting.
0x1ch··on Keep Android Open
Have you talked or met anyone born after the 90s? Everyone banks on their phone, it's the norm not the exception.

Edit: Someone also made a good point, one of my CC's I can barely even manage without the app since the website barely works.

0x1ch··on Keep Android Open
It verifiably does not on open source and free android roms like Graphene. Unsure where you're getting your info.
0x1ch··on A beginner's guide to split keyboards
You underestimate my friend and true keyboard nerds. We're talking 40% splits and less, two or more additional programmed layers in combination with tap key combos, vim-binds everything he can.

I don't think losing a few letters or context switching is a big concern to him anymore lol. He doesn't even type QWERTY in English, he's a colemak guy haha.
