solrize,

The options I see there are card, small card, and list. All of these show the thumbnail. This is in 0.0.65 currently on f-droid. Is that not expected?

solrize,

Yes, remove the thumbnail and expand the text into that space. Sorry for the confusion.

solrize,

I mostly notice it in the feed, not sure about other places. I’ve just give back to jerboa from Voyager now that I have a new enough phone to use jerboa again.

solrize,

Did you just discover this? It’s a Microsoft site after all.

solrize,

It’s nice as a dimmable bedside night light. I also used the Anduril flickery candle mode at a birthday event recently.

Is JMP.chat expensive? Are there any alternatives? (lemm.ee)

I’ve been using this phone number from JMP.chat and I’ve barely used it for much of anything (Started February 27th, 2024), and somehow its telling me I need $35? I tried out their service plan but it was way too expensive. I only bought it once and took off my credit card after because auto pay kept auto depositing money...

solrize, (edited )

No a lot less, twilio is $1/mo, see also VoIP.ms and vitelity.net

solrize,

This was basically Blondies Pizza back in the day. Also the nitter thread is from 2019.

solrize,

I’d say run a local imap server rather than dealing with the weirdness of storage shares across multiple OS’s.

solrize,

If we told just anyone, it wouldn’t be private!!!

Srsly any phone app is inherently insecure because the phone itself is insecure. And there’s lots of metadata leakage, like the phone broadcasting its location. There is no “go to app”. It all depends on what you are trying to do and who you are trying to communicate with.

solrize,

There are tons of them on ebay. There are a few different types, depending on your thinkpad model. I suspect the T480 uses the square post style like older T series thinkpads, but I don’t know. Basically, look carefully at the pics to make sure you get the right kind.

If you want OEM ones, try lenovo.com, but they will cost more.

solrize,

The OEM ones were something like $8 for a 3-pack many years back. Seemed high but they last a while.

solrize,

This should be worth listening to if you’ve had some undergrad level abstract algebra. Borcherds has a youtube channel with lots of other really good math exposition too.

Should I rethink the encryption method of my backup drives?

I’ve been using veracrypt for the past 4 years to create container files in everything from thumb drives to external hard drives. After upgrading one of my backup drives, I decided that I will switch to a different filesystem altogether going on, from ntfs to ext4, since I havent really used windows in those 4 years. With the...

solrize,

If this is for live disks or mirrors (not backup), LUKS is reasonable. Backup is different from mirroring since one of the things it protects you from is accidentally deleting files. If you delete a file from your main drive, it also disappears from the mirror drive, so mirrors are not backup. For encrypted backup, I’ve been using Borg backup which is quite well thought out, though confusing at first. The backups go on a remote server which is ok since they are all encrypted.

solrize,

What is the project anyway? It’s not obvious at all.

solrize,

You mean the blog link? That’s an awful lot of articles. Is there a single sentence somewhere saying what it is?

solrize,

They want to obsolete all our phones again? No thanks.

solrize,

I don’t think it’s possible to make C++ safe without strictly limiting the user program to a subset of the language. There are guidelines for that (github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines) but even when I try to code in that style, I get to debug crashes the usual way. C++ makes some optimizations possible through e.g. move semantics that are absent from Rust and Ada but I wonder if it really matters these days. Rust seems to be displacing C++ for lots of new projects going forward.

solrize,

It is perfectly ok to start with C++14, in fact probably preferable to starting with anything before C++11. The idioms changed a lot in C++11. I think changes since then have been minor and incremental by comparison.

solrize,

When C++11 came out, there was an immediate feeling that the language had received a major overhaul and the best ways to do most things had completely changed. Everything from before that was legacy code, though a lot of it was around. I expect it is still mostly like that.

Or do you mean about Rust? Yes that is new. I still don’t understand the attraction of Rust over Ada that well.

solrize,

I think the C++11 edition (whichever it was) of Stroustrup’s book TC++PL suggested using C++11 immediately. That is what I would have suggested. I used C++ by necessity in a few projects before that, but I didn’t start actually somewhat liking it until C++11. Everything before that was ugly legacy code.

solrize,

There is already a subscribed tab, and I use it most of the time when I want to catch up on selected topics. I use the local or all feed when I want to browse a wider view of what’s going on in general. Right now the total amount of Lemmy traffic is small enough that browsing that way is tolerable, which it wouldn’t be e.g. on reddit.

I do think that the Lemmy software design is more meme-oriented than I’d prefer, because of stuff like the thumbnail pic with every post in the main feeds. The more interesting parts of reddit to me were text-only and we don’t have that here.
