Like KDE Connect which uses only the local network.

It was my personal GOTY 2025. Fantastic game. I actually liked it more than Bloober’s SH2R because of the setting, visual presentation, overall mood and music. I didn’t hate the combat, either.

but these days im considering a different bank entirely that doesnt require an app in the first place

For me, it’s not that some banks require a mobile app, because they don’t. Why I like to use the mobile banking apps is because of PUSH notifications for transactions and for approval (like 3DS). I could use the mobile websites, but then I would need to drop down to SMS confirmation which is less convenient and less secure as well.

Ok. That seems important then. Having to type the WiFi password would be even more annoying. :) The other part seems important, too.

Now it makes me wonder how non technical people who have auto login enabled deal with it. I mean, I’d expect it to work like on Windows.

That’s a bummer. I still don’t know what it’s useful for, except for not having to type SSH passphrases. I think it doubles as a password manager? I don’t need that, I use Bitwarden.

This gives me MGS Phantom Pain vibes.

My main issue with BotW is that there are no dungeons. Shrines are just small random puzzle games. Doing a dungeon in Zelda is part of the quest, doing shrines is doing puzzles for the sake of it to get points (Orbs) to advance your character with some numbers and bars. Only the Divine Beasts resemble traditional Zelda dungeons to some extent.

This was my first Zelda game. I didn’t read any reviews, I just played it. Afterwards I learned that not everybody loves it, but I do. Being the first, I guess it will always be the best Zelda game to me. I… don’t like BotW. I spent a few dozen hours in it over the past few years and have not finished it. I prefer the traditional structure of Zelda games.

I moved from Proton to Mailbox.org a few days ago. Normal IMAP was one of the reasons. Another was feeling of being slowly locked in a walled garden. Plus, it’s more expensive.

Anyway, with Mailbox.org it’s also possible to encrypt your whole inbox with OpenPGP. Maybe it’s not on the same level like Proton, but it uses an open standard.

Oh, it’s a “g”! That title was hard to decipher (but maybe because I’m not a native speaker). Even now, when I know it’s a “g” it still kinda looks like “s” to me.

Circa 20 years ago I was interested in running an UO shard, at the time I was testing RunUO, it seemed modern at the time because C# and .NET were only a few years old :)

I see they haven’t updated the text on the website in 20 years ;)

The only drawback was the inability to port the software over to other operating systems. However projects like MONO are working extremely hard to provide a very capable .NET framework for the alternative operating systems.

Somebody should tell them about the new multiplatform .NET. Seriously though, I’m surprised that website is still online.

I usually don’t remember about having an account there, but every time someone reminds me (like right now) I wonder whether I should delete it. The problem (?) is that I’m an IT professional and LinkedIn was supposed to be a job search venue (I never used it in 20 or so years, I only got spammed by recruiters whom I either declined or ignored them (you know, the reverse Tinder meme)). But I still have “connections” there and a few recommendations, and there’s that thought lingering in my head, that MAYBE SOMEDAY I may need one of those connections as a foothold or a bonus point when applying for a job. I don’t know. There are several other IT job boards which all seem like a better solution than LinkedIn.

my printer just works! Out of the box, no issues

Ha, I’m going to test my dad’s printer in Linux Mint this weekend, because I plan to migrate him from Windows 10. I remember printers on Linux used to be a PITA ~20 years ago, but I also read somewhere that (some?) printers now work driverless (no idea how that works), so we’ll see.

I have a similar setup. My PC has disks formatted in Btrfs, so I get copy on write snapshots of my system disk, then have a local Restic backup on a secondary disk and then have an off-site Restic backup in the cloud on the Storage Box.

Thanks for pointing me to Paperless, never heard of it, it seems like it could be useful. I wonder how it deals with languages other than English, if at all.

I don’t get it. It indexes pages which were already visited, right? So in order to find some website I need to first use another search engine. Afterwards, that website is in my browsing history and if I need it again, I don’t need to search for it. So what’s the use case for this project?

I do the same.

I thought those materials were used because of wireless charging and because they make the phone body double as an antenna.

This, and in the web browser (I hope you use Firefox :) ) use Facebook Container , so that Facebook can access only its sandbox.

This actually looks brilliant! And I see it’s German, which is a plus. Thank you!

Hm… Worth a try. :) Somehow I didn’t find it, I only saw something called “notebookbar”. Thanks. I don’t use any office suites (besides Google Spreadsheets to keep track of my video games spend) myself so I’m clueless.
