Something already included in iOS is App Privacy Report feature.

Docker on macOS doesn't have the same underlying system support as on Linux, which is where Docker originated.

The Docker experience on macOS is also marred by the fact that Docker Inc. appears to have limited interest in their Docker Desktop offering, whereas a third-party alternative like Orbstack provides a much better experience.

Been using Restic for a while but I was wondering how does it compare to:

- Rustic https://rustic.cli.rs

- Kopia https://kopia.io

Got time to test it and it works.

2 Ch 48kHz for output and 1 Ch 48kHz for input while using Airpod 2 on Sequoia. Be aware that the app must request a high bitrate for this to work.

Example: you need to use Safari for Google Meet. It doesn't work with Chrome.

Sorry to crash your launch but this is supposed to be fixed in the new version of MacOS Sequoia + AirPods 2

I'm still on Sonoma for work reason so I didn't test it.

The initial investigation which triggered the arrest was made by the OFMIN ("Office spécialisé dans la lutte contre les violences faites aux mineurs" basically the government branch tracking and fighting CSAM).

Supposedly, Telegram (and by definition of the french law, the CEO) did not respond to requests for takedown of harmful content (or not enough or faster?) from the the OFMIN. This triggered another investigation looking globally at how Telegram handle content moderation on the public part of Telegram (Channel) which lead to all others charges of complicity.

This is basically the CEO taking the fall because the (unreachable by french law) Telegram company is not on french soil and he made the mistake on landing here.

I use OTP Auth, it doesn’t get updated much but still maintained. I consider it « feature complete ».

What is harder? I have a setup just like that. Create VM, use open wrt image as disk Vm, configure some passthrough for the nics and press start?

Updates are as easy as other device (press button on web interface or use openwrt cli)

IMO, owrt runs best on x86 (it’s your usual Linux kernel after all) and you get the best support and performance. You also avoid a lot of all the bugs related to embedded development with custom SoC, internal switch, vlans, flash layout, possibility of brick, bootloader stuff, etc.

Most voiced complaints are (as neutral as possible):

- past CEO personal belief on LGTB rights

- If opted in, blocking ads while showing their own ads as system notification (ads are not being replaced in page)

- hijacking typed-in domains in the address bar by adding their affiliate code on select domains related to crypto (reverted after backslash)

- Tips (using their crypto coin BAT) to Content Creators not using Brave being held indefinitely until withdrawn by Creator (behavior changed after backslash)

and now:

- VPN services being installed automatically if browser has admin rights on Windows.

Edit: I'm just listing what I have been hearing the most on HN.

You can actually if you didn't expand your partition and keep the default layout. Use the firmware builder to build a customized image with your needed packages.

Edit: ah I didn't see that you run openwrt on baremetal...

Unfortunately, yes. On top of that, they keep adding new devices in RC, keep bumping the kernel version (minor), introducing new code base (such as the new refactor on hostapd/ucode/netifd) and sometime cherry picking commits from master which I would have not chosen (not just bug fixes but features).

Don't get me wrong though, I very happy that such project exists but OpenWrt could be more stable and reliable with a better workflow. Anytime you flash a new version, you have this small fear of bricking your device (especially the exotic ones as Openwrt mainly relies on external testers).

Caution advised for people jumping early, the Release Candidate 4 was released only ~10 days ago and didn't have the usual long testing period (usually month). More, the devs introduced major refactors late in the release cycle.

RC4 changelog includes bump to major components, most notably: hostapd, ucode, ubus, netifd.

Ads blocking on Safari browser is complete since iOS 15 when Apple allowed custom extensions to be added to the browser.

Nowadays, ads blocker use a mix of Content blockers rules (1) and an Safari extension (2) to block ads.

A note for other boxes, especially the nVidia Shield. It's my top blocked client on my home network with pi-hole.

It tries to connect to api.segment.io every 30 seconds.
