There is also overthewire warzone, a private network simulating the entire ipv4 internet, where any device is fair game for hacking.

Xplore file browser

It’s trivial to replace the independent pieces of xplore, but it has so many features in one app that I just can’t let it go. It’s got dual pane file browsing, disk usage chart, smb, ftp, and many other cloud storage connections. It also handles many types of compression.

It’s become my main offline music player as well, because it has the simple ability to shuffle a folder of music, which is all I really need.

It can also view installed apps, export them to apk, and view and modify appdata (as non root!).

When syncthing is configured to go both ways (the default), it also syncs any deletions. You can somewhat get around this by something like one way sync, but it’s not really a proper “backup” software.

Personally, I like to treat data synced by syncthing, even between multiple machines, as one copy of the data when I am following the 3-2-1 backup rule*, because syncthing won’t save me from a buggy program deleting all my files or user error, or anything like that.

*See wikipedia for info about the 3-2-1 backup rule.

Discord is adding ads soon. Currently, they don’t enforce the TOS violation of custom clients, but maybe after they add ads, they will begin to do so. I would be very careful with any of this.

Adiabatic temperature change

I can’t find the source code for this extension

Why? In case authentik goes down, so you can recover data? Or something else?

I am settting up authentik and other selfhosted services right now and my plan was for authentik to have all the accounts.

No, Android Go still supports ADB.

On an XDA review of an android go phone, they managed to connect to it via ADB

It doesn’t need root, but it is shady as fuck. Thankfully, there’s been no reports of malware from the official lucky patcher project… although that link doesn’t look official, given the ads and popups, I got that link from my copy of the app.

I briefly looked into the revanced project to see if they had any relevant patches, as I would rather recommend FOSS solutions first, and revanced is shaping up to be lucky patcher, but FOSS, but they didn’t have anything,

Might not work, but at least it’s updated.

You could also look into https://www.luckypatchers.com/. There might be patches for what you want to do.

In order to receive messages from a mailing list you must subscribe to it

It would have been really nice for this to be documented in the docs for the openstack mailing list, so I could know before I sent an email. I read their 3 different pages on the mailing lists, wrote up a email with all correct formatting and etiquette, and read through the archives to ensure I was sending my question to the correct mailing list, only to receive a “Your message needs to be approved by a moderator.”

Almost a year later, still in quarantine. It doesn’t matter though, I figured my issue out.

Despite all the effort put into documenting mailing lists, and all the effort I put into reading that documentation, there are still de-facto standards people are just expected to know on top of that and it’s bullshit. Software forges (github, forgejo, etc) don’t have this problem, people can just contribute or ask for help using the integrated tooling (issues, PR’s, etc). There is a problem with centralization, but hopefully activitypub federation between software forges fixes that.

Do you use a linter like the ansible vscode extension?

I used to hate writing ansible, and yaml, until I installed the ansible lint vscode extension, and everything became much, much easier.

Later on, when I was working on a docker-compose, I noticed that the vscode yaml extension (which the ansible extension pulled in as a dependency) caught errors. It’s quite intelligent, able to spot errors exactly like what you mentioned, where the yaml syntax is correct, but the docker-compose, or the ansible syntax is wrong.

You could write the entire program in awk,

From this list, I used to love krunker.io, but I never played the steam version because it wasn’t native linux.

The security implications on this page concern me: https://forgejo.org/compare/#better-security

pretty much the only character with real, proactive agency in this story is Quirrell

I stopped reading it halfway through, and was too lazy to figure out why.

This explains it.

Yeah, unintentional bugs are much easier to deal with than maliciousness, like replacing the “file upload” button with buy nitro, or discord in the browser’s audio being finnicky (dark pattern you don’t get this problem on element or the discord app.)

Of course, there are unintentional bugs as well, on top of maliciousness.

Lmao. I’m guessing this is because they’ve begun to use LLM’s for moderation (maybe trying to replace real humans?), but LLM’s can’t really count.

On phone rn, but I’d love to see someone run the fake star checking project at projects like this.

Considering I know someone, personally, who also made a scientific advancement at a young age, yes, it is possible.

They taught themselves python, then how to inference and train machine learning models, then used image recognition models to detect their sister’s illness, which had visual signs.

They had to get help from someone with a phd to test this on a larger scale, cuz resources, but I absolutely believe a middle/high schooler could do it.

https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/del-norte-high-school-seniors-invention-could-save-thousands-of-lives/3159354/

It’s not that phd’s are incapable of doing it, it’s simply that they never bothered taking a crack at this problem, using this method.
