jonathantf2··on Tailscale is pretty useful
Better uptime than having to take it down bc it got hugged though
jonathantf2··on Apple's Software Quality Crisis
If your Sonos speakers are old enough, take a day out and downgrade them all to S1. Just like magic it will all start working like it did the day you got it.
jonathantf2··on Breaking into apartment buildings in five minutes on my phone
It's also the law in the EU.
jonathantf2··on Every .gov Domain
Our local parish council don't have SPF, DKIM or DMARC set up so every single meeting is just a back and forth of "well I didn't receive that e-mail"
jonathantf2··on Apple's Best Option: Decentralize iCloud
Trump didn't let the UK extradite someone who killed a teenager in a hit-and-run, never mind a big tech CEO.
jonathantf2··on A brief history of code signing at Mozilla
Slightly off-topic but my god that font is hard to read.
jonathantf2··on Microsoft deletes official Windows 11 CPU/TPM bypass for unsupported PCs
TPM is a security device, nothing to do with AI.
jonathantf2··on Popular Linux orgs Freedesktop and Alpine Linux are scrambling for new webhost
Yes. Haven't had an outage in near 2 years according to our monitoring.
jonathantf2··on Free Web Hosting Area
Not sure if it's meant to be but we left BT about 8 years ago and my dad's btinternet.com address is still live.
jonathantf2··on Google Fiber is coming to Las Vegas
Even if OR roll out symmetrical I doubt that many retail ISPs will sell it because that's one of the main selling points for Ethernet/"leased line" circuits for businesses
jonathantf2··on The Toyota Prius transformed the auto industry
Absolutely love my 2014 PHEV Prius, will do about 7 miles on battery which will get me to the shops and back. Never had a problem with it, about to hit 200k miles and still pretty much perfect
jonathantf2··on TikTok preparing for U.S. shut-off on Sunday
Nope, on desktop on multiple computers or mobile iOS videos just seem to pause randomly with no inputs
jonathantf2··on TikTok preparing for U.S. shut-off on Sunday
Still can't fix the fact that videos randomly pause every 2 seconds though
jonathantf2··on Microsoft Bob: Microsoft's biggest flop of the 1990s
Maybe not skeuomorphic design, but they have a simplified mode: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/assistive-access-iphon...
jonathantf2··on Windows 365 Link: The New Device That Imprisons Users in Microsofts Cloud
You're mainly paying for the software on this device, keeping everything in Intune is a big selling point rather than having to fiddle around with third-party thin client management software from the vendor. If this device supported Azure Virtual Desktop it'd be a no-brainer for orgs that lean heavily on it like mine.
jonathantf2··on Spying on Student Devices, Schools Aim to Intercept Self-Harm Before It Happens
Yep, content inspection is enabled on the student Internet and they have to install a root certificate to get online. No cell signal since we’re out in the sticks so it’s their only option
jonathantf2··on Spying on Student Devices, Schools Aim to Intercept Self-Harm Before It Happens
This kind of system is now required by law in UK schools, meaning that we have to MITM all student traffic even on their own devices, and some of the alerts are really really vague since they're just matching anything in search terms (my favourite being an alert for the word "gang" because "river ganges" was searched on Google)
jonathantf2··on No NAT November: My month without IPv4
I use my own router on Gigaclear, no V6 and no sign of them supporting it. At least it's not CGNAT.
jonathantf2··on Ask HN: Payment processing for micro SaaS outside USA?
I just marked myself as a "sole trader" with Stripe and Square and I can take payments without a business
jonathantf2··on Let's Encrypt is 10 years old now
Google.com (and my bank) use a DN certificate, if it's good enough for them it's good enough for anyone.
jonathantf2··on Ask HN: Would you recommend a framework laptop?
My work laptop is a 13th gen ThinkPad and it also gets extremely hot and the battery sucks. Although the keyboard is much better and it’s got an Ethernet port which is a godsend
jonathantf2··on Ask HN: Would you recommend a framework laptop?
I moved from an older ThinkPad to the first generation Framework. While the idea of the repairability, expansion cards etc sounded great, it simply just ran far too hot and the battery life sucked. I ended up going 180 to the other end and buying a reduced 14 inch MacBook Pro (base model) which has been the best computer I've ever owned, macOS being awful aside. It's what a laptop should be like, not worrying about chargers, it not cooking your lap, just overall a very enjoyable machine
jonathantf2··on Steam games will need to disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages
In a normal 5v5 match, you need everybody else on the team to vote yes to kick the cheater. If they're queued with someone else (which is very likely) then you've got no chance
jonathantf2··on Hacker Typer
I remember getting banned from the computers at school for a month for going on this and hitting F11.
jonathantf2··on Google's Chrome Browser Starts Disabling uBlock Origin
I tried Orion a few months ago but it didn't at all play nicely with 1Password, any idea if that's changed?
jonathantf2··on Turn your old laptop into low-end gaming machine
Interesting - I wouldn't use an OEM install of Windows because you have no idea what they've done to it, even uninstalling all the crap that comes with it still doesn't clean it 100 percent. It's pretty terrible that you can't just use it out of the box
jonathantf2··on Turn your old laptop into low-end gaming machine
"Old hardware are well known source of random BSODs on modern Windows" certainly not my experience - any evidence to back this up?
jonathantf2··on What's inside the QR code menu at this cafe?
Some apps are brilliant though - Wetherspoon pubs in the UK (despite not at all being the height of dining) have an app that works really well, I don't think I've ordered at a person there for at least 5 years.
jonathantf2··on Show HN: OBS Live-streaming with 120ms latency
looks like that's hosted in DE - might not be the best latency? would try self hosting it on a box in Florida or something to try and get the best connection to you both
jonathantf2··on Set Up a $4/Mo Hetzner VM to Skip the Serverless Tax
Most people using serverless do not use or need autoscaling.
