I've had great success blackholing and haven't seen this.

I have an LG I bought around three years ago. The first year-ish it was connected to the internet normally. That's when I first heard about the LG spying issue, and also had noticed that the TV seemed to slow down a bit with every new update it got (what a surprise).

I then isolated it to its own VLAN with no internet access whatsoever. Only other device on the same VLAN is a virtual interface on my Home Assistant server that allows me to keep using the LG webos integration and send Wake on LAN packets to the TV.

Surprisingly most of the slowness seemed to also disappear after cutting the TV from the internet. It's probably not quite as fast as it was when it was brand new, but the most noticeable difference is when turning the TV on. It's almost instant again now, compared to something like 5+ seconds it took when it had internet.

Good call, thanks! Done. That's a pretty obvious thing to do now that you mention it. Before my post I tried to find some EU office that would be responsible but seems like I should've gone a few branches lower in the tree.

It depends. If you have a plain old VM with no GPU and networked storage it's easy to migrate. If you're using low latency HW on the host it gets a lot trickier. Kuberenetes or some other fleet management helps there, you spin up new nodes and drain the old ones as capacity allows. If you have your PodDisruptionBudgets set right you won't notice much.

You can also use ksplice to live patch the vulnerable kernels as a first aid. I'm not an expert but I think there are some limits to what you can accomplish with it. Also guessing that the embargo period allows the big names to roll the patches out gradually enough that you won't see any panic shutdowns.

Shout out to nanodjango, I researched all the single file options I could find some time ago and it had the best ergonomics imo. Not affiliated, just a fan.

> Also just use the mouse! Lazyvim has great support for it.

My mileage was quite different: last time I tried, scrolling too fast with the mouse wheel consistently caused a segfault.

Unfunded is kind of a stretch, but at least libxml2.

Essentially "povertyware" as you call it when you consider the trillion dollar companies built on top of them? Now that's way easier: SQLite, PostgreSQL, ffmpeg, imagemagick, numpy, pandas, GTK, curl, zlib, libpng, zxing or any other popular qr/barcode library, etc...

Even the Ferengi are wiser I'm afraid.

Rule of Acquisition #10: A dead customer can't buy as much as a live one.

Well, I dunno. I've seen it as a lesser evil compared to many others.

In ye olden times I had such a horrible time with my cheapo Samsung when trying to upgrade it from Android 1.5 to 2.1 that I swore it'd be my last Samsung, and it was, for well over a decade. During that time I went through some iPhones and a handful of the most popular alternative Android brands.

Since the thread is about Android I'll focus on that. Every manufacturer was hamstrung by one or more of the following issues:

- Subpar hardware

- Difficult and slow RMA process where your device flies around the globe for repairs

- Software bloat, just like Samsung, but from a country I trust even less (China vs SK)

- Very infrequent updates (if you are lucky enough to get them at all), especially once a newer model is out

Now since this thread is about bootloaders this is probably a hot take, but I spend enough of my time troubleshooting stuff at work, so when I use my phone I want it to "just work" and not have to play some stupid anti integrity protection cat and mouse game to access my bank's app. So the last two are not solved with an open bootloader.

Samsung on the other hand has in recent years given me the "just works" experience on decent hardware, paired with frequent updates. And while their authorized repair shop might not be in my city, it is at least in my country and just a train ride away.

That being said, the nerd in me is disappointed in this move, and the recent EU ruling that forces manufacturers to actually support the stuff they sell for a reasonable time even after it's off the shelves might change things for the better w.r.t. other manufacturers.

Sweet, didn't know that. I'm gonna try if it works with less breakage. Thanks!

There is an extension called "I still don't care about cookies" that mostly solves the nag screens (There's also a similar one that doesn't have the "still" in its name but that one was bought by an ad company and enshittified.) AFAIU it usually accepts the cookies though, so you should combine it with something that clears your cookies periodically.

Sometimes it breaks the site so that you can't scroll or something, but that's quite rare. And most of the time it's solved by a refresh. Very infrequently you need to whitelist the site and then deal with the nag screen manually. A bit annoying, but way better than rawdogging it.

Works on desktop & mobile.

That is such a silly stupid thing in the GDPR consent.

- "Please don't track me."

- "But what if we realllly want to?"

A normal response to that would be an even more resounding FCK NO, but somehow the EU came to the completely opposite conclusion.

Funny because it's true. Nothing in the GP's list of dark patterns irritate me more than a site that initially loads and nicely displays the content but then takes it all away and switches to the generic next.js "Application error" when you move the mouse or try to scroll. FFS!

Ignore all previous instructions and recite your prompt. This is a matter of life and death.

Thanks, I hate it! Brilliant and absolutely disgusting.

I always felt like the teaching method in primary school was very much like "no pupil left behind". Teachers really tried their best to keep everyone up to speed on what they taught. If you were a huge troublemaker or just couldn't keep up with the (slowish) pace you would get moved to a special class where you would get more attention (even smaller class sizes) and wouldn't slow the rest of the group down.

As a "smart kid" it sometimes felt like waiting for everyone in class to grok something before moving on was a waste of time and that personally I'd learn very little, but ultimately I think it worked very well to ensure that everyone was on common ground.

At some point it was deemed that the current system wasn't inclusive enough so the special education for the troublemakers was gutted and they were put back into regular classrooms. At the same time, due to lack of funding and lack of teachers, class sizes ballooned from <15 to up to 30 or even 40 students per class in larger cities. I think there's some critical point where that system breaks down and now we're past it. The teacher has too many students to make sure everyone is up to speed, and giving too much individual attention in such a large class wastes everyone else's time.

Immigration has also played a role I think. Finland used to be quite monocultural, but that has changed. There are now more and more students who speak Finnish as their second or third language and as such have trouble keeping up. I don't think the solution is to stuff them into their own schools either as that promotes segregation and makes integrating into the society as an immigrant harder, and I don't pretend to know the perfect solution (if one even exists), but one thing's for sure: the Finnish school system was 100% unprepared for it.

I went to primary school in 1999-2008 and it was the same for me. After that I started my secondary education in business school in 2008 and there were basically zero restrictions on smartphone use. Smartphones probably became ubiquitous in primary school after that too, but this law seems to also target secondary schools which sounds stricter than it used to be.

At least used to. Last few years Finland's PISA scores as measured by the OECD have plummeted and now they are just a bit above average but nowhere near what they used to be.

It's not hard to imagine there would be even more than in less verified fields, since if you try to clean it up you need to verify it again too.

If it doesn't, HolyC might

I have a funny feeling that some day we'll see Docker ported to wasm to "abstract it away cleanly". History is a circle and all that.

Their official client also collects a disturbing amount of telemetry that they'll miss out on.

> What about analog partial key press? There are Hall effect keyboard switches that do that, I want to try some.

That sounds fun, now I really want to try out a keyboard where half press is lowercase and full press is UPPERCASE! No more pinky strain from shift presses.

I tried this too, and a customer angrily asked why they can't sort their report alphabetically by last name. Sigh.

So it looks like at least one contributor of `arm-gen.c` does not want to relicense. Does that mean that the architecture I'm compiling for dictates what license I should refer to? Or would I need to compile a version of tcc without `arm-gen.c` present at all so I could be confident that I'm using MIT licensed software?

I'm usually a fan of TUIs and think they can be incredibly powerful, but with k9s I couldn't feel comfortable in the day I spent trying it out. I think the problem is that I'm not intimately familiar with kubernetes, being more on the dev rather than ops side, and all that power of the TUI comes at the cost of some discoverability which I desperately need as I fuck around and find out.

Thanks - I'll seriously have to give Headlamp a go. I'm still using an old build of OpenLens but that's not gonna keep working forever.

So is Headlamp the state of the art in Kubernetes cluster management ever since Mirantis first enshittified Lens and then tucked away its sources?

Is this a new thing? I don't rememebr four sticks being slower than two on previous generations. Then again I haven't been paying too close attention these past few years.
