Yep. Android does this by default, but each ssid gets a randomized MAC which persists. It is still straightforward to trigger a MAC change manually tho. It is useful for privacy but imo useless for the public wifi limits use case since they almost always require an OTP via SMS to log in.

I run some software on a raspberry pi at home. This pattern works very well for me:

- services exposed via caddy(configured to use my domain on cloudflare for SSL)

- my lan dns resolver(adgaurd home) is configured to rewrite these domains to local IP. Specifically, the rewrite rule looks like `homeassistant.mydomain.com -> rpi.lan`

- Cloudflare tunnel on the rpi for services I want to access outside. I've it configured to require Google auth via cloudflare zero trust(free)

The neat part of this setup is that when I access a service when I'm at home, it works as expected completely locally including https.

If I try to access the service through the public internet, it will still work on the exact same domain and also have proper auth through cloudflare. This way I can access anything on the internet from my home server without worrying about security.

Cloudflare tunnel also offers some other cool things like ssh on your browser(which again uses the previously mentioned Google auth) if you need it.

Arch Linux RISC-V 2 years ago

I switched to archlinuxarm on my rpi4 cause I got sick of having to jump through hoops to do mundane things like needing a ppa to install ripgrep or downloading debs for less popular packages.

Apart from a little confusion about how to configure the bootloader(since rpi uses uboot as opposed to the usual suspects), my experience has been amazing. In typical arch fashion, I've had zero issues apart from on install day.

Apologies, you are correct. I haven't considered emigrating to the US for years and forgot the specific details. Most of my recent knowledge just comes from my friends who live there.

Iirc you can indefinitely keep getting renewals on your h1b while waiting on the green card queue - and this queue is many decades long for people from certain countries like India and China.

I agree that UK isn't as left wing as I'd like, but there is really a huge difference between what's considered right wing between the UK and the US. For instance, the NHS. Poor or unemployed people get the same access to healthcare as I do.

In my personal experience, there is also less stratification and less overt racism or bigotry. However, they're pioneering new and clever bigotry against trans people now and that concerns me.

Oh, and also, if I choose to permanently live in the UK, or EU, the path to citizenship is deterministic with a known timeline.

In the US, the time from Green card to citizenship is unbounded. people from India and China are pretty much never going to become citizens till they exploit some loophole like having an American baby.

I'm grew up in India and went to grad school in the US and worked there. Eventually, I transferred to the UK cause I didn't get through the US work visa lottery.

I'm much happier here because of the reasons you mentioned. I feel like my friends in America have are basically amassing wealth to insulate their liberal bubble in a conservative land. However, they might not be able to outweath the recent success of right wing policies that the American supreme Court has managed to impose.

For me personally, even the "low" tech salaries in Europe (think something like 150k an year total) is more than enough for the lifestyle I desire. If amassing wealth isn't your primary motivator, it absolutely makes sense to move to a society which better aligns with your values. That would probably be the EU for someone like you and me, but UK is EU lite.

I love that everybody here has the same access to healthcare and the fact that my high taxes help that. I like that the population responds to the actions of the elected officials - like how the current UK govt is doing absolutely terribly in current polls. In the US, it seems like it's always a tight race regardless of what the government does. I love being able to use public Transit to get to most places. I'd rather my potential kids grow up in a kinder society, where their wellbeing wouldn't be at risk if something were to happen to me or my job.

My guess is not by much. Text doesn't require a lot of storage. After looking at a few random files my estimate is that the size of the full compressed dump would be about 30x (~10 GB)

Not affiliated with the project, but just took a look at their readme. It literally lists how to install it on every single platform, how to launch it, what features it has, keyboard shotcuts and troubleshooting steps.

I thought it was a great readme. It is weird how you guys dismissed the whole thing just because the readme has emojis.

What you're describing is arithmetic. I think most mathematicians will easily be beaten by a calculator - and they don't care. Mathematics isn't just mental arithmetic.

Can your TI-83 do any proofs?

Recommendation algorithm was using absolute block count, rather than percentile block count, causing accounts with many followers to be dumped,

Can someone explain this part to me?

If the system used just absolute block counts then tweets from popular polarizing people like Trump would go nowhere since their block count would be many orders of magnitude higher than most of the userbase.

I got a xiaomi co2 monitor off AliExpress a while ago for about 60£ :https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001768799038.html

It works well enough and home assistant integrates with it. I cannot comment on it's accuracy since I've never owned another CO2 monitor as a reference. However, it is very responsive to the various things I've tried to manage CO2 in my bedroom - such as opening the windows to differet degrees, position of my curtains etc.
