One cool thing that just went live in the last month or so is SMS Sender ID. You need to file a shitton of paperwork before being given the keys to send an SMS to an Australian with a name instead of a phone number.

I personally had to write the code to make this work for a rather large financial institution that uses AWS for bulk SMS. It was a lot of hoops to jump through. If you get one detail wrong, your SMS just has a phone number instead of a name.

At this point, it should be impossble to deceptively get “Fedex” into an SMS header.

I don’t think anyone is gonna solve that problem until it’s actually a problem.

Mozilla has their Nothing Personal online magazine with product reviews. It’s only a small handful of product at this point. This started out as “Privacy Not Included”, which is now defunct.

Do Americans think each country has their own way of measuring things?

Can’t afford the chequered stuff?

What an odd way to spin choking on smog.

Run nft list ruleset and make sure that the final (compiled) result matches your config. Maybe it’s misinterpreting or discarding something?

My server has this to allow ICMP in nftables:

ip protocol icmp accept
meta l4proto ipv6-icmp accept

Yes, it just allows all of it. You could use it as a starting point (if it works) then fine-tune it. I have not tuned mine at all.

I don’t see the keyword “ipv6-icmp” in your config. It might have something to do with that.

There’s a hundred ways to do the same thing, and I haven’t found online guides to be consistent.

It reads like the LLM got to the middle and forgot what was at the start.

My first job was at a place that had a 20x markup on cables. It was good for closing deals. Saying “I’ll throw in a free cable” sounded like a $15 gain to the customer when it was only a $1 hit to us.

And yes, I still pull out the RCA cables from time to time. My IDE ribbon cables won’t see much action these days.

My family call it the “spaghetti box”.

I love how this was definitely not done with gen AI.

Age verification took away the need to regulate it so it’s safe for kids. Now it’s not safe for anyone.

Remember when people would post event flyers to facebook and everyone subscribed to the group would see it?

Now it’s like trying to withdrawal your pay from a poker machine instead of an ATM.

The current messaging app doesn’t even have a search function. This is well overdue.

I ran a packet capture on my TV as I left it turned off overnight.

They wake up in the middle of the night, do “stuff” then go back offline. Like a zombie.

There seems to be a “JPEG reconstruction” feature that gets the original JPEG back.

I think many of us have several GBs of JPEGs that have accumulated over the years. It would be nice to shrink them a bit.

However I wouldn’t do it until the majority of my software supports it. At least with JXL, you can transcode it back to legacy jpeg without losing quality

They should just make a separate server and ranking for linux players.

I was tempted to run PoE to the other side of the wall where my server is. A doorbell that could do it all locally on my server.

Then I thought “fuck it” and bolted an antique brass bell there instead. At least you know it’s working.
