Not sure if you’re talking about me but if so, touché because I definitely don’t believe that but now I look like a hypocrite. 😂

Who even has this kind of time? Get a life

Not a fan of Ronnie nor Donnie but DeSanctimonious was the most fucking stupid nickname

As a developer it’s quite shocking the grip AWS has on the internet. I run a side business that’s AWS-free and loving it, but its tentacles are probably behind everything I use as an end-user. Everything at my full-time job is built on AWS.

I don’t have a great answer but I’m sure most modern browsers have locked down their address bar (and bookmarks) enough that it’s not possible without enabling developer features.

I think the part you’re missing (and others haven’t addressed) is that you don’t send 100% of your traffic to one endpoint (much like how most use VPNs). You can route different things to different places.

For example, I’m in the US and have two Tailscale exit nodes. Both are located on VPS machines in the US, but one sends traffic down a double-hop VPN back out into the US, the other does the same but to Switzerland. My “default” route is through Switzerland (better privacy laws) but I am forced to route some things through the US exit node due to websites that won’t work outside the US. For my personal devices, traffic routes directly to them via WireGuard tunnels.

In addition, my wife doesn’t care about blocking everything that I do (social media, tracking) but her phone still needs to update sensors in Home Assistant. She can choose not to use the exit nodes but can still communicate with our nodes on Tailscale. She also uses it to print documents at home from her laptop while she’s at work.

Recently I was waiting in a hospital with public (unsafe) WiFi that blocked UDP traffic, but Tailscale does some magic that will relay traffic via TLS. I was able to access services at home with a 20ms latency. The tech is very, very nice to have.

I think I’m talking about the speakers and codecs themselves. I always try them in the Apple Store with high hopes but the audio is blatantly compressed: it sounds “tinny” while lows and mids come out poorly reproduced.

I know that with Bluetooth there is limited bandwidth, so even with high quality source files it’s always going to be (re-)encoded with AAC. Apple ditched aptX which is a shame, because at least the quality was much higher than AAC.

I use an AudioQuest DragonFly while listening to music, and it’s clunky for sure but I don’t want to be forced to use Bluetooth and compression.

I would love to jump on that bandwagon, but they sound so fucking awful. I’ll pick my Audio-Technica gear with the awkward Bluetooth every time; not that I use the Bluetooth while listening to music but it sure would be nice to have something on Apple’s level of wireless for meetings and audio quality in one package.

I only have experience trying to run two Tailscale containers on the same machine and hit so many roadblocks that running it containerized just wasn’t worth it.

Containerizing is probably only worth it if you have an explicit need for it.

I was taught you only spell out numbers ten and under, so I would write it:

Breakfast at the Thompson’s was a busy affair; 12 eggs and six rounds of toast for their three sets of boisterous twins.

Wasn’t Tesla backsliding a few months ago because Democrats are kind of abandoning them? Living in California where every other car is a Tesla though, that was either short-lived or never true.

So as much as love Apple to death, unfortunately my iCloud email account that I don’t use anymore has had its information leaked several times over, but I’d rather keep it despite this.

What I don’t want is for it to be even easier to brute force, and I also don’t want to make it easy for Apple (or anyone) to access its data. So for me personally it’s important.

I was too lazy to find the source (but knew it existed) when I wrote that; it’s here at https://support.apple.com/en-us/102630 under the Web Access and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud heading.

How can I make this my prompt on zsh?

You don’t use the C:/> </ terminal prefix and suffix prompt on your smartphone?

“21 Ways Your iPhone is Spying on You” and it’s always dumb stuff like shady apps asking for permissions mouth breathers are stupid enough to allow. Then their website has 14 trillion tracking scripts loaded up; hypocrites.

Yeah, this is pretty stupid. “Oh no! The cops use CarPlay??” and “omg they developed an iOS app, the horror!”
