There is NickelMenu and you can telnet into it. You can also install other OS like KOReader easily, it doesn’t have a locked bootloader or anything like that. So imho that’s pretty accessible and open.
I never said anything about Onyx, I don’t own one but have considered them. They look nice and open.
I do own a couple of Kobo devices though and just wanted to say it’s not running Android of any kind but it’s still relatively open. Especially compared to phones, tablets and Kindle. The firmware/OS point you’re trying to make is irrelevant there and I think you know it :)
If it’s important that it keeps running then it should just be redundant and taking one node down for an update shouldn’t be an issue. I know this is wishful thinking for a lot of services but I refuse to be on call for something if the client can’t be bothered to make it redundant.
We use a CI pipeline check which prevents merges to master if the code contains a TODO. A precommit hook only works if the developer has the hooks configured.
That’s no longer a technical process issue but more of a teamcoach/HR kind of issue then. You should be able to assume good intentions from colleagues, imho.
At the risk of sounding incredibly naive, what kind of western censorship are you talking about? I’ve never noticed that as an issue with either Google, DDG or kagi.
Thanks for elaborating! I don’t use search engines for political/news related queries so I guess that’s why I never noticed (or it’s so effective that I just accept it as the truth of course…). Either way, I agree that’s bad and I hope it’s not an issue with Kagi.
I’m curious, how many people are aware of these sounds. I have designed, etched, and built my own switching power supplies along with winding my own transformers. I am aware of the source of the noise. So, does anyone else hear these high frequency sounds regularly?
Hey everyone, have a lot of updates on things occuring around the instance so figured would compile them all into one post. Will be pinned for 24 hours in the instance...
Found the new thing, looks interesting and will give it a try! Would it be possible to use SSO with a Lemmy account from programming.dev? Sure that would help adoption/usage and additionally support 2FA automatically.
Edit: I see it supports 2FA already in settings. If not possible to SSO with Lemmy then it might be nice to recommend 2FA in the signup flow.
Perhaps a repurposed garden hose on a spool could work. I recently saw a pretty long one on sale on amazon and they sell extensions. As long as we’re making stuff up I feel like this should work nicely ;-)
Those are definitely all valid points, though I feel a bit of UI work making it abundantly clear that it’s not encrypted in case of SMS and an option perhaps to fully disable SMS in settings if you really don’t want it would have helped further adoption. I feel like they are optimizing for a rather small subset of users and thereby hurting the rest.

Thoughts on Kagi?
I’ve been using this search engine and I have to say I’m absolutely in love with it....
Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space?
