FeistySkink··on IPv6 Is Hard
Devices behind a firewall being routable with IPv6 doesn't mean you're allowed to connect to them by default. And if you want to, you have to explicitly allow that on the firewall. Just like you would open a port and redirect it with IPv4 before. Only with IPv6 you don't have NAT and a redirect. Some people need it and some don't. Again, just like with opening ports.
FeistySkink··on OpenWrt 24.10.0 – First Stable Release
If you have an overlay, you can do something like this to list user-installed packages only:

    ls /overlay/upper/usr/lib/opkg/info/*.list | sed -e 's/.*\///' | sed -e 's/\.list//'
FeistySkink··on OpenWrt 24.10.0 – First Stable Release
It's using Qualcomm IPQ53xx, so will take a while before it's supported by Linux/OpenWrt. I don't think even IPQ50xx has been merged yet.

Edit: http://download.gl-inet.com/releases/qsdk_v12.5/kmod-4.7/be9...

FeistySkink··on OpenWrt 24.10.0 – First Stable Release
If others think this is in jest, there are recent TP-Link routers with 2.6 kernel and Broadcom.
FeistySkink··on Our channel on YouTube has been deleted due to “spam and deceptive policies”
Could it be related to them selling a product called Switch? Although unrelated, could match some overzealous Nintendo filter. Who are on a quest against anything emulation recently.
FeistySkink··on Tesla Cybertruck sales are disastrous
Well https://www.theautopian.com/cybertrucks-are-piling-up-as-tes...
FeistySkink··on Ask HN: What ist your AdBlock strategy?
Plenty of "smart" appliances phone home unnecessarily.
FeistySkink··on Ask HN: What ist your AdBlock strategy?
I don't think you can do that with Adguard right now. You can use a browser with adblock for desktop/mobile, and there are smart TV apps with adblock and sponsorblock both for Tizen [0] and webOS [1].

FeistySkink··on SmartTube – an advanced player for set-top boxes and TVs running Android OS
For people with non-Android smart TVs there are similar apps (with adblock and sponsorblock) both for Tizen [0] and webOS [1].

FeistySkink··on Does veganism have an ultra-processing problem?
Why not just call your diet plant-based then?
FeistySkink··on ReMarkable Paper Pro
According to the video [0], the pen needs to be charged and I thought EMR pens don't.

FeistySkink··on Samsung's abandoned NX cameras can be brought online with a $20 LTE stick
Recent Sony cameras work as standard UVC devices without any software, including on Linux.
FeistySkink··on Aphantasia: I can not picture things in my mind
Just another data point, but yes. I can dream quite vividly, exactly the way people describe visualizing things day to day.
FeistySkink··on Aphantasia: I can not picture things in my mind
How so? A DB schema is not visual: it's something that lives inside a DBMS. Boxes with arrows is a way to represent it. Text is another one.
FeistySkink··on Aphantasia: I can not picture things in my mind
Close your eyes. Do you see anything?
FeistySkink··on Aphantasia: I can not picture things in my mind
You can have a conceptual model of how things relate in space. Something like a class diagram or a DB schema. It doesn't need to be visual.
FeistySkink··on Aphantasia: I can not picture things in my mind
I can't visualize anything. If I close my eyes, I just see some vague light coming through my eyelids. I can "imagine" for a lack of a better word, the graph and all the nodes and edges "existing", and can reason about its properties based on that.
FeistySkink··on Aphantasia: I can not picture things in my mind
This was my biggest puzzle as a child: how do all those people in crime shows describe suspects? And was it just made up?
FeistySkink··on Aphantasia: I can not picture things in my mind
Imagine thinking in concepts instead of images. I can't visualize a hammer or a face, but I don't have trouble with a multidimensional array or a graph.
FeistySkink··on DJI ban passes the House and moves on to the Senate
So Skydio?
FeistySkink··on Study finds 268% higher failure rates for Agile software projects
Am I misreading this as a No true Scotsman?
FeistySkink··on Google releases smart watch for kids
The design doesn't look kid-proof at all with the curved front glass. And I'm not sure what they're on about when saying "first of a kind".
FeistySkink··on T-Mobile employees across the country receive cash offers to illegally swap SIMs
Or pay people enough so they don't get tempted to begin with.
FeistySkink··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2024)
Is remote US-only?
FeistySkink··on Micronics Announces Desktop SLS 3D Printer, Starting at $2,999 [video]
Why not? Or do you mean infill?
FeistySkink··on Best engineering interview question I've gotten
I suppose this beats LeetCode and take-home, if this is a replacement. But this might just devolve into free work under pressure.

FeistySkink··on I applied for a software role at FedEx and was asked to take a personality test
Yet, there are plenty of them barely disguised as personality tests.
FeistySkink··on Ask HN: What are the best articles on managing people?
Is there something you would recommend to read about the intrinsic motivation? Sounds like not an obvious subject.
FeistySkink··on What it was like working for Gitlab
Taking the CoL in NL, particularly the Randstad area, that salary is not outrageous. Especially, if you're a new expat on a single income, without any social net, and with any hopes of owning property, within a reasonable commute distance from your work.
FeistySkink··on To free the Baltic grid, old technology is new again
Ditto for Latvia and Lithuania.
