Can't even view without having (and being signed into) a LinkedIn account :(

It seems to be listed on Google but it doesn't work from there either, LinkedIn should get de-listed for this kind of shit. Cached view works though

Conversations is brilliant, but I have yet to see a decent XMPP client for iOS. There's Chat Secure, but when my friends used that it often wouldn't receive notifications, making it useless as a messenger.

I'm not sure if this was a limitation of iOS itself (probably) or just a poor implementation (Chat Secure definitely tries to do something with push notifications.)

It's difficult to use XMPP when most of my friends+family use iOS

Ah, I hadn't realised that!

I don't know, I often encounter [flagged] or whatever it is that happens to bad comments in the middle of a thread. It leaves me wondering what was actually said.

So it happens already, just for different reasons...

Which is why an option was suggested

Did anyone seriously expect any different?

I've done it, it's usually running for a good chunk of every working day

I still use vim a lot though

Careful, those will sound like terrorist words to someone like Theresa May

> It could be implemented similarly to the way spam is handled by the internet, bad neighborhoods and networks that don't self police are treated as second class citizens.

Please no, the way spam is handled on the internet means that anyone who isn't already a massive internet company is usually treat as a second class citizen

It's this kind of shit that makes me hate living here. The UK feels so backwards, I often want to leave - maybe I will? It just gets me so frustrated.

But, I know that anywhere I would go will probably already (or soon) have similar policies. I don't even want to be on this damned planet, argh! Just far away from the "people in power" who keep coming up with these things.

It's not even about porn, it's just the idea of age verification being required to access _any_ kind of site.

The author mentions being plagued by crashes/corruption, but I've never experienced this and I've been running a full node for a few years. Other than the large (well, not _that_ large) storage requirements (.bitcoin is currently 101G) I've not got any complaints...

Unless there's a bug in a recent version of bitcoind which causes it to crap out when initially catching up with the network?

The content on this page draws off to the right of my screen, and I can't scroll horizontally so it's unreadable...

This is on a fully maximised browser window at 1920x1080, normal zoom level.

How does this happen?

I've not looked much into it but I've seen Libravatar, which claims to allow for federated avatar hosting

I read somewhere about someone redefining goto as goat, but I can't remember where.

Might have been the Lua Programming Gems book...

404?

User choice has gone out of fashion

This reads like an angry rant and not much else

What, are we going to police twitter now and force people to follow certain lists of other people?

Don't these typically require access to the private key though?

I'm not comfortable uploading my private key to a webmail server, even when its my own server

I'm curious, what is the problem?

It sounds as though the code for plain old ALSA is still there though, so if you're building from source you can still enable it

...phew!

Let's hope router manufacturers include sensible firewall defaults. They probably won't in many cases, though.

I was pleasantly surprised when I was given a global IPv6 address at my parents house (where they use Sky). I had no idea they'd already managed to do it, and was expecting them to drag their feet for as long as possible.

Isn't this a bit of an empty statement? That much should be obvious. One person's experiences/choices aren't ever universal

There's a modern one which is of a similar design, called the LP 2 Go

The web link doesn't always do the trick for me. It's a shame Google continues to index websites that it doesn't work for.

I recently had a fight with password selection on the Azure portal. They have some truly awful password rules, and I've ended up using something that isn't completely terrible but is much worse than normal, because I simply couldn't get it to accept anything decent.

Thinking about it, my account was added by a company using Azure, perhaps they are able to set the password restrictions for their sub-accounts...

Can't seem to get around this paywall at all

I thought you still have to load proprietary firmware onto Intel cards?

This is a fact that so many people like to conveniently forget

I've been using this for a while, and it's really cool. I've not found a huge number of "public" services on the network, but I've used it for IP tunnelling and also to access my machines without having to worry about dynamic DNS.
