@itsfoss

Don't blame the engineer, blame the corporate types that insist on pushing that format even when there are better options (and pushing it in slimy ways like making snap-deploying .DEBs)

I finally got around to writing a again: How playing with Duplo led to some recreational maths (https://bfloeser.de/posts/duplo/). It's probably my weirdest yet but I'm really proud of it. Enjoy!

Wow, the @PINE64 turns five in late July.

My own unit turned three quite recently.

I wonder if there's a 3 in the works 😁

It's my everyday carry laptop mainly for writing/blogging, shell scripting, and playing around on the Fediverse via @tut

I thought that modern Android would make those buttons appear as needed.

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@dheadshot

I've been wanting to try it out. 😄

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@dheadshot

Hmm, it could be that older Android versions would show them as needed, which is what I vaguely seem to recall.

But modern Android probably won't even work with really old apps.

Any on F-Droid you can think of off the top of your head?

Then again, a lot of older F-Droid apps won't even install on my pixel 7. I'm not sure if it's an Android 14 thing or a Pixel 7 thing

Mission today - pick up lumber so I can build a ladder and railing for the loft in the playhouse, take 12yo to “Rock Band” practice (something their music teacher does a couple times a year with her students), come home and build said ladder, and maybe do some gardening. I’ll prob have my HT on me most of the day, and will poke around on some repeaters and maybe put out some simplex calls too.

I haven't been on the air in years, but I remember getting crazy a 2m QSO from my then 4th floor apartment right after a big storm. The pressure bubble did something to increase the range.

@sirber

Would disabling offset the performance loss due to mitigations?

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@sirber

I've heard its only about a 30% performance loss (max) to disable HT.
If doing so would let you disable some mitigations, it might be worth looking into.

I'm not happy that tooters.org is (apparently) gone, but I am quite happy that there isn't anyone spamming the hashtag with one instance's updates anymore.

Oh man, I haven't heard anyone call it that in a LONG time. :D
