A year ago my daughters phone broke and I ordered a @iFixit repair kit and replacement glass. But by the time that arrived she had switched to one of our old iPhone 8, and the repair wasn't needed anymore. The broken phone has been lying around since then […]

Great to see EU politicians on mastodon, but why not @social-network.europa.eu

Nothing wrong with using mastodon.social but when they have their own, it would seem prudient to use it :-)

My personal recommendation is to order them as physical books, good to get away from the screen.

It's -14 C / 7 F but this dog is too well insulated to care at all. She's just happy she has a new playing field (the frozen lake).

[Rant about modern iOS keyboard and spellcheck]

I love how spellcheck has never introduced so may grammar and spelling errors as now. I think ios1 had a better kebabs than this shit and it was1/3rd of the size so the chance that you hit the wrong button should be many times bigger.

@jags this is of course a "just use Linux" commment but listening to your rant about how there is no place anymore to post and get a useful discussion, have you tried giving this a chance again?

I feel like infosec.exchange is the closest thing to what you are describing.

Your mileage might […]

Daily reminder that while AI can be useful, it's not good at producing anything outside the box and will take novel ideas and put them back into the box.

So if you are asking it to summarise something interesting, it might miss all the interesting things and just tell you the boring bits […]

ugh, in 30 minutes I have seen 35 people expose their .git folder using tailscale funnel

and that was a quick poc, I think I'm only watching one of the CT firehoses

in reality it's probably worse

@danderson , if still have contacts there

I think funnel is a really dangerous footgun which […]

So it's CR2032 showdown time. The Duracells are 1.5e each and the Nedis are 0.5e each.

I put one each in one of my zigbee humidity and temperature monitors, let's see if there is a difference long term.

This might make some people upset, and others doubly so.

I have made a mastodon archiving app which will index my timeline/favs/bookmarks and allow me to search it later.

And... I vibe coded all of it!
In Swift/UI because I have not touched Swift in.. 10 […]

Seems like a good proxy for how well it will perform in general. It'd be interesting to see more comparisons of the alerts though, the report correctly states that how you notify is a very important part of detection, but that comparison seems to be limited to four screenshots from unnamed […]

My 13 mini still beats all the new Apple phones in a straight out spec comparison, not even close. The air wins in one by measuring the thinnest part but is still worse in all other ways.

Good on Apple for supporting "old" phones, and thanks to […]

To celebrate the upcoming 6th birthday and annual domain-fee shakedown for https://hasmypasswordbeenstolen.net I gave it a bit of makeover.

The old one is available at /old/ if you want to compare. Which is better?

[rant about flat design and glass]

I'm still on iOS17 because I don't like bugs and the UX of glass is bad, but god I'm happy we're finally getting a tiny bit of depth.

the squircle is still stupid but I undestand you can't overwhelm the poor designers who […]

I haven't tried corridor but this mirrors what I've seen elsewhere.

It's better and easier to fix things at the source rather than in post production.

It's especially true for LLM's that re-read the wrong solution every time if it gets into the output.

You don't need corridor to apply this […]
