  You can read IAEA’s press releases for each attack. They go through the precise function and nature of each building and access the potential danger. Though they haven’t updated for the US’s latest bombing.

  lol. Nicholas Kristof was in Beijing at the time, his contemporaneous article was critical of China and the CPC, but said “There is no massacre in Tiananmen Square, for example, although there is plenty of killing elsewhere.” The original article is paywalled, but here is a 2004 interview where he repeats that no one died in the square, and sticks to his death toll estimate of 300-800.

  The Chinese Red Cross deny saying that, so I mean insert your own conspiracy for that one. No idea who the Swiss Ambassador was at the time, the reference is to a book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy anniversary of the day absolutely nothing happened at nowhere square!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Clearing the Square section recounts the timeline of the military entering the square and it being totally empty by 6am. I guess you could count the three soldiers killed by the crowd, but that’s not what most people mean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy anniversary of the day absolutely nothing happened at nowhere square!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I find this stuff so bewildering, even Wikipedia says no one died in the square. It was hectic around Mudixi, with buses of soldiers being torched and the burnted bodies being strung up. People there were absolutely shot at and killed.

  It was an insane week with a lot happening, many different groups with their own motives, and so many details unclear. It’s weird that anti China rhetoric insists on something that didn’t happen, pushing a false narrative that’s so easy to dispell and distracts from the real violence and politics of the time.

  My understanding is that it’s technically against their TOS but loosely enforced. They don’t specify precise limits since they probably change over time and region. Once you get noticed, they’ll block your traffic until you pay. Hence you can find people online that have been using it for years no problem, while other folks have been less lucky.

  Basically their business strategy is to offer too-good-to-be-true free services that people start using and relying on, then charging once the bandwidth gets bigger.

  It used to be worse, and all of cloudflare’s services were technically limited to HTML files, but selectively enforced. They’ve since changed and clarified their policy a bit. As far as I’ve ever heard, they don’t give a toss about the legality of your content, unless you’re a neo Nazi.

  I’m guessing the cloudflared daemon isn’t connecting to jellyfin. You want to use http://. Also is jellyfin the hostname of the VM? Using localhost or 127.0.0.1 might be better ways to specify the same VM without relying on DNS for anything.

  Personal opinion, but I wouldn’t bother with fail2ban, it’s a bit of effort to get it to work with cloudflare tunnel and easy to lock yourself out. Cloudflare’s own zero trust feature would be more secure and only need fiddling around cloudflare’s dashboard.

  It runs basically the same PebbleOS, so they’ll work with any app that works with the original Pebbles. They plan to keep using the community app hosting at apps.rebble.io. There’s also GadgetBridge that’s compatible. Eric mentioned on HN the intention for an official open source library that can be used to make other companion apps too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Pebble Has Been Brought Back⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the mobile app is open source too github.com/pebble-dev/mobile-app

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a 5 II too, used lineageOS for years, worked great. Doesn’t totally solve the battery or fingerprint reader. My screen got the dreaded green lightsaber too. Nail in the coffin was Australia turning off 3G so it can’t make calls anymore. (Wasn’t officially sold here so they didn’t bother loading it with VoLTE profiles)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was Likely Recently Auto-Installed on your Phone.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems weird to have a separate app read sent and received messages? Is it poking holes in the Messages app sandbox?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NAS Hardware selection⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Consider something like the aoostar R1 with Intel N100. Small and low power like a commercial consumer NAS but cheaper and you can chuck whatever OS you want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram is exposing their users privacy.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another aspect is the social graph. It’s targeted for normies to easily switch to.

  Very few people want to install a communication app, open the compose screen for the first time, and be met by an empty list of who they can communicate with.

  signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/

  By using phone numbers, you can message your friends without needing to have them all register usernames and tell them to you. It also means Signal doesn’t need to keep a copy of your contact list on their servers, everyone has their local contact list.

  This means private messages for loads of people, their goal.

  Hey, we know this account sent this message and you have to give us everything you have about this account

  It’s a bit backwards, since your account is your phone number, the agency would be asking “give us everything you have from this number”. They’ve already IDed you at that point.
