1-2ms(avg) in FF on Linux on a 60Hz Display. 2.5-3.5 in Brave in a similar setup.

Modi didn't say anything but this was decided at a local level. In my town,

1. Vegetable vendors will be open from 6 am to 10 am. 2. Grocery shops will be open from 5pm to 7pm 3. Hospitals/clinics/chemist shops will remain open as usual.

I am surprised no one mentioned https://discoverquickly.com/ yet.

It's basically Spotify's recommendation system with a bunch more parameters for you to play with and the UI is designed so you can go through the recommendations quickly.

Groups on Telegram can have 100k+ members. Enabling Signal like E2E encryption scheme and ensuring you can have that many members in a group is basically impossible. See this video to understand why, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0_lcKrUdWg

I guess they could enable E2E encryption in private messages but being able to sync conversation across different telegram clients you are logged into is one of the features. Enabling E2E encryption by default will probably break this. I guess they could try and implement it like Signal has done for Private messages but I don't know why they have not done that already.

Yes, I do.

I put every blog, site I want to follow on my freshrss instance(rss.ishanjain.me).

I use Reeder(on iOS) and FeedMe(on Android) to read those posts. When I like something, I add it to Pocket where it gets archived and stuff and I can revisit it later at any point.

I use Browser bookmarks to store interesting websites, Like tools, Stuff other than articles basically.

Okay point taken.

Although, The "celebrities"(I am more interested in following Engineers, Computer Scientists. These guys are my "celebrities") I would want to follow are not on facebook/instagram(Or they don't share anything I'd be interested in on those platforms).

This just makes me think why do I need a social network. I never did anything remotely useful on Facebook/Instagram(Although, Twitter is useful).

Why would I want to use this?

I don’t like webrtc based solutions because the speeds are subpar.

My phone and iPad are on the same WiFi network and both have a link speed of roughly 400mbps.

Using trebleshot(a oss file sharing tool like shareit/midrop) I was able to get 30-40MBps which is pretty insane speed if you ask me.

But sharedrop didnt’t work. It failed with “could not establish direct WiFi connection with peer” error and with snapdrop that someone else suggested I could only get speeds of up to 15mbps(or roughly 2MBps).

I only use trebleshot on android and trebleshot via the web interface to transfer between iOS and android. It’s the fastest tool I have ever used and I strongly recommend it if you are looking for a tool like that.

TLDR being, webrtc based tools for p2p file sharing suck.

I started using Buster[1] few months back with Google Speech to Text API. I use Firefox on Linux and I hadn't had to manually fill a captcha in all these months. Highly recommended. :)

I get 60 free minutes/month from Google Speech to text API. So, It's pretty much free to use.

I have a self hosted bitwarden instance. I feel very comfortable using it and encourage my friends and family to use it as well.

I tried it right after he suggested doing that.

Try this command, It contains a list of peers that were working few hours back. Maybe they are still online.

Way, waaaaay ahead

Hey! So, I thought this was cool and wanted to try it out.

Compiled hnsd and tried to run it on local machine and an ec2 spot instance but it keeps failing to connect to it's (hardcoded?) peers.

I keep seeing this,

Also, These IP address are either blocking ICMP ping messages or outright unreachable because ping fails to talk to them.

I use the subscriptions app on Playstore to keep track of all my subscriptions. Pretty happy with it so far.

People are taking the wrong takeaway from the show. The point of Chernobyl(HBO) was not to show the dangers of Nuclear reactors, It was to show, The Lies, Politics and other disgusting elements can and will ruin lives of thousands of people.

Chernobyl was the result of lies and deception. Soviet Russia's wanted to be number 1 everywhere while completely disregarding how they got there, That is what led to Chernobyl.

People, Including the Doctor have taken it incorrectly in my humble opinion.

They even had a separate podcast where they discussed exactly this and more details related to the series in great detail. Look it up on Pocketcast or whatever app you use to listen to podcasts and you'll find it.

There was an study done on some students from top universities in US.

The question they were given was, If they would work for Facebook given all kinds of scandals they were involved in. A lot of people said they wouldn't work for Facebook but later when some of them received offers nobody declined those offers and went on to work for Facebook.

I am wondering if the same experiment on people already working in industry will yield different results.

I have never measured it. At worst the main power has gone down for a 2-3 hours and it lasted at least as much. I don't have a USB power meter to measure the power taken by the Rpi so I can not give you an exact number but I would guess it to be at least around 5-10 hours if not more.

Edit: Someone linked pijuice project. I went to their website and according to them, Their 10k mah version lasts 24+ hours

> Onboard 1820 mAh off the shelf Lipo / LiIon battery for ~4 to 6 hours in constant use! (with support for larger Lipo Battery of 5000 or 10,000 mAH+ to last up to 24 hrs +)

https://uk.pi-supply.com/products/pijuice-standard

So, I would say 2i would probably last about the same?

I have been using Mi powerbank 2i for my Rpis for last 9 months or so. I have had zero issues with it. The advantage of using 2i are,

1. It's dirt cheap than any other solution I found($15, I use 10k mah version)

2. I can plug RPi to it and I can plugin a charger in 2i. When the main power cuts off, It'll instantly switch over to battery with 0 downtime. I think this is called passthrough charging)

3. It can provide 2.5 or 3.5 amps(not sure about exact value) output

4. It has two ports

Can we clone the repo and run it locally on my own profile? I arrived late..

It is. But just one tiny app for VPN isn't too bad if that VPN does not ruin internet bandwidth.

I don't know. I briefly used IPsec when I stopped using OpenVPN and I was looking for alternatives. The setup for IPsec on the server was slightly annoying. I used a Github project that sets up everything for me but the script didn't do everything.

And I have observed(from just using IPsec and wireguard on my phone) that wireguard is quite good(maybe even better) than IPsec at not annihilating internet bandwidth.

How do you decide what vpn tech to use?

I was using openvpn and then switched to wireguard because openvpn was consuming a lot of power on my phone.

Why would I want to use Ipsec?

It can be bypassed and they don't make it very difficult to bypass it.

Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. I read it 5 years ago. Recommend it

I forward the link to the "Saved Messages" chat on Telegram. Nifty Feature.

Wifi in my college only supports Ipv6.

Just in case anyone doubts this story, I have built 6 of these Instagram engagement bots within last month that operate on telegram and are used to monitor engagement of all the people who signed up.
