• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This affects the view of posts via the bluesky servers, but not via mirrors or other servers

  And the use of content addressing means you can be sure it hasn’t been modified

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Several Android manufacturers have their own settings in the OS for battery longevity (automatic schedule based smart charging, or charging limits)

  Don’t think it’s native in Android. Charging limits need support in the charging controller chip, plus driver support in the OS.

  I use my backup headphones when my Bluetooth headset has run out of battery

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Traffic routing security comparison⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wireguard is most reliable in terms of security. For censorship resistance, it’s all about tunneling it in a way that looks indistinguishable from normal traffic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with male loneliness?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, male culture has changed far more due to propaganda, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with male loneliness?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Culture of excessive individuality and independence plus macho culture

  Not easy to put 24 pins in a rotating connector. USB 2 over USB C only needs 5

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can harmless viruses be engineered to deliver vaccine payloads for different actually harmful viruses?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most early vaccines were less dangerous viruses related to more dangerous ones and which provided cross-immunity once free immune system had learned it.

  Then there’s been plenty of vaccines with dead virus particles, as well as modified live viruses (dangerous viruses which was weakened, neutralized, or sterilized, or even mild viruses equipped with recognizable but harmless proteins from dangerous viruses) to more safely expose you directly to the pathogen.

  Then mRNA and protein subunits and some other types drops the full virus part and provides methods to expose you to only small pieces

  That’s the secret of NIMH

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How true is it?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically it’s not the resolution that changes, but the optics (unless you want to bring out the fancy math and treat it as a sampling resolution thing based on smallest recognizable detail)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do "realistic" AI results for man/woman have non-proportion big heads compared to their bodies?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also so many head photos taken from an angle right in front of the face or a bit higher, distorting the shoulders in ways you don’t notice but which matters when the algorithm tries to splice everything together into an averaged model

  The Threads situation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Publicly routable IPv6 addresses behind CGNAT in home environment using Tailscale and VPS⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to set up a publicly accessible device (in this case the VPS) as your IPv6 gateway

  So you set up your VPN connecting your network to the VPS (should probably be set up from the router) and set your router to advertise an IP adress for the VPS which is routable from your local network as the gateway address

  (note, I have not set up this stuff myself so I can’t help with implementation details)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because certainly they don’t think brigades harm communities if they won’t trust mods to set subreddits as private

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “we won’t let moderators harm their communities by not letting them eg. protect their communities from brigades and similar harassment”

  Sure you thought that through, reddit admins?
