  I have 3 phones (that I use) and in total 9 active phone numbers from 4 countries.

  Just because I can.
  5 of those are on removable eSIM in my main phone.

  It doesn’t really seem to be affected by anything much. Prescription corticosteroids made it mostly go away for a while, but it returned larger. Birch tar shampoo helped with the itch, but people around me very clearly didn’t like when I used it. I don’t know if I am the only weird person liking the smell of burnt wood, but yeah, it’s quite strong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The less complicated life of a male⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But I don’t even know what that means. Hell, in the past I even used soap bar for the hair.

  My father apparently used to get his hair complimented, he used apparently used the fucking laundry detergent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The less complicated life of a male⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yeah, mine looks like crap, but I don’t have the time to care, and the long hair hides the large patch of psoriasis on the back of my neck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, especially since I know I likely wouldn’t play it much.
  On the other hand, if it was free (also as in money) and open-source, and I liked it, I could donate. Although I don’t have much money, so probably just smaller amounts, better than the 0 I do right now by not gaming instead.
  For example, I absolutely wouldn’t pay $9.60 for Binary Eye (barcode/2D code scanner app) if it cost that much, but as a donation that was fine.

  Touch it until it works, then never again while it still does.

  A nice related bookmark I have saved. There’s also interactive pert with a slider where you can draw a wave and then add more and more sinusoids to get closer and closer. And of course the square wave, with infinite sinusoids (theoretically).

  The problem is bugs being far bigger issue. Imagine a bug/crash causing your throttle to get stuck and brakes not working.
  If it happens now, at least it’s the manufacturer who’d be liable, I hope.

  I want a completely separate emergency shutdown+brake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyundai car requires $2000, app & internet access to fix your brakes - what the actual f⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Biggest issue is whatever is going on with mobile devices compared to desktop. I don’t know what you call it here, drivers? But each device is just so closed down, you can’t “just run” another software on it. I imagine if desktops also each required custom images based on model, people would only be using unmodified pre-installed Windows.

  Well, Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code#Computer_DV…

  Basically same as regions on standalone DVD players. Just a scummy thing to only allow you to play DVDs from your own region, perhaps so that you wouldn’t buy them from cheaper countries, or buy them earlier you’re supposed to in your country.

  If everything works correctly, then say you buy DVDs from UK, but something new just released in US, but haven’t even played in cinemas in UK yet. So you buy it from US… and it shouldn’t work.

  VLC doesn’t care about this, but still, the drive firmware might.

  BluRays also have regions

  By the fucking way, BluRays have some DRM with revocable keys

  This is part of the AACS protection scheme: editors are able to revoke old software player host keys that have leaked on the Internet and distribute the lists on newer commercial disc releases. This is irreversible and cannot be fixed even after reflashing the drive.

  wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blu-ray#Revoked_Host_key…

  So when do you truly own something? When you pirate it. No regions, no DRM, 4k on any device powerful enough.

  Except the problem seems to be the said storage device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Concerned about claiming warranty for homelab with Linux⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it is a hardware failure, I don’t see why it should be an issue. I know re-installing Windows is something PC repair shops do often, and I don’t see how that’s different from any other OS.

  fault or failure resulting from software

  Unfortunately, that’s quite broad. But it could also just apply for stuff like overclocking or firmware modifications. Or even simpler stuff. I could see someone having DVDs from multiple regions, changing drive region every time until they hit the 5 changes limit, and then trying to claim it for warranty (I’ve had some software on Windows do that automatically…).

  Should I submit it with the Linux installation intact or replace it a fresh install of Windows

  Or if there’s private data, overwrite it with output of /dev/urandom or /dev/zero. blkdiscard might also be your friend since it’s an SSD.

  I am doubtful whether they have experience working on anything other than Windows

  Probably they’ll just test the rest with their own drive or re-install it.

  Or maybe try to ask them how to prepare the device for the warranty claim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WG tunnel oddity - either download or upload slow based on MTU (speedtest), TCP download always slow (iperf3) - no such issues with Tailscale⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Welp, turns out I am just an idiot. 1279 and below disabled IPv6, and thus the ::/0 route didn’t get applied either, causing a leak. What’s still odd is the lower download speed that doesn’t happen in another client.
  As for the upload, it probably gets a better route through the VPS, giving me a faster speed, and giving me some confusion.

  So my first idea with IPv6 was close, but on the other side of the connection.

  Anyway, your reply helped me find this issue, as my outtake was to try fully disabling IPv6 (not the first time I tried such “solution”).
