“Young Chinese women have small fingers,” the article reads, “and that has made them a valuable contributor to iPhone production because they are more nimble at installing screws and other miniature parts in the small device, supply chain experts said.”
Fucking what? Who are these supply chain experts? Did you pull them out of your ass?
This reads like AI. I’ve lost any speck of respect I still had for NYT.

Msys2 was not created for devops, I just happen to be a devops engineer who uses it. Their websites describes it as:
MSYS2 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with an easy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windows software.
Because it makes software building, packaging and distributing as simple aand standardised as it is on Linux, it means they effectively have a very good CLI on their hands. On my work laptop, I now use WezTerm with fish shell and helix editor for my workflow, and live in the terminal. Would this be possible to do without msys2 or wsl? Yes, but it would be a huge pain.
- Comment on The silent force behind online echo chambers? Your Google search 1 week ago:
I was in the same boat as you, except that I came to the conclusion it was worth paying for. Then perplexity came out, and that decision was a little harder to justify, but I stuck with kagi.
Then my ISP gave me a year of perplexity pro along with my internet speed upgrade. As much as I hate AI tools being everywhere, some of them are good, and Perplexity pro is one of them. Now that I’ve tried it, I think it’s worth it to the point that I’d pay for it even if my ISP didn’t give me the subscription.

I could never figure out how to set it up a sort from the one with Git.
That’s because the one provided with git is a nerfed version of msys2. If you install msys2 as a standalone thing from their website, you get everything you need for a functional CLI on windows. Most importantly, you get a real package manager and decently populated repositories.

I’ve recently started using windows again for work, after not touching it for like 15 years, msys2 makes it tolerable.
I’m a devops engineer, and my company won’t allow me to use WSL. Go figure.

The closest I’ve seen to true decetralisation is nostr, all other protocols either died or were just concepts. Activitypub is a good middle ground between true decentralisation and centralised services.

- Comment on Introducing Lab Rax: A 3D Printable & Modular 10" Rack System - The DIY Life 4 weeks ago:
Seems pretty good. I recently 3d printed a little 10in mini rack for myself, but I went with Chris Borge’s Rackfinity. I feel like the threaded rods give it a lot of strength, which makes me a lot more comfortable hanging my hardware I’m the rack.

It isn’t, self hosting just isn’t for everyone, and it never will be.

Indeed. I am currently waiting for Calyx to be released for my phone, it’s a Moto g84, and support seems to be coming along nicely.
I probably would have picked a pixel if I could, but they are not available for sale in my country.
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone. 1 month ago:
The last I looked was that the Pixel was the only phone that allowed you to load a custom rom and relock the bootloader. Other phones kept the bootloader unlocked once it was modded.
That is not the case. SHIFTmq, Motorola and Fairphone allow the bootloader to be relocked with a custom rom. There are many requirements the Fairphone lacks for GrapheneOS, but relocking the bootloader is not one of them.

It has CalyxOS support though. A decent alternative.

- Comment on Tailscale + public domain 2 months ago:
I see. I dont know if that works, as I haven’t done that, but what worked for me was pointing to the tailnet IP, not the tailnet domain, then disabling expiry for my server on the tailscale dashboard so my IP would stay the same.
- Comment on Tailscale + public domain 2 months ago:
Yes, in order to access my domain on my local network, I have my pihole instance point the domain to my server’s local IP.

Have you pointed your DNS record to your tailscale IP? I have the exact setup you describe, and it works fine.

I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.
What does biweekly mean to you? Twice a week, or once every two weeks? If it’s the latter, I prefer to use fortnightly, since it’s not ambiguous.
- Comment on Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2024, Week 48] 5 months ago:
That was an enjoyable read. I usually dont like it when a manga has this type of art style where characters just look wacky, but one thing is undeniable about this trait; it’s har to forget it.
I feel like I won’t forget this story, not only because it’s well written, but also because it’s got such distinct visuals.
