Optus is barely an internet connection at this point. I’m using about 10 fearures on Aussie Broadband that simply don’t exist on the Optus network.

Telstra (Australia’s largest telco) now provides IPv6-only to mobile handsets by default. They’ve deployed 464XLAT.

The main benenfit is not having to deal with NAT. You get your own address and your traffic is not conflated with other people’s.

You also get privacy extensions. Your device generates a temporary address for making outgoing connections. The address has no listening sockets. This means that you cannot get portscanned by every website you visit.

Enforcing TLS filters out a lot of spam connectikns too. Every legit provider has a cert these days.

Start a new life on a farm.

But seriously, it was mostly because my coworkers don’t realise when the linter underlines broken stuff in red. You upgrade it, and and your project has 180 errors and you have no idea which ones are new.

I love react. It’s so straightforward until it collapses onto a tangled mess of hooks, refs, callbacks and dependencies.

I just finished updating an app to 0.82.1 today and JFC it was a mess.

Firefox mobile too?

I’d blame the gecko, but literally NO other site breaks like this.

There’s so many dark patterns to it. You’ll notice that it’s impossible to bookmark your “friends” feed. At every opportunity you get directed back to your wall, which is 95% shit you’re not subscribed to.

And yes, uploads fail. You can’t upload webp. Uploads randomly orient 90° off.

When responding to posts, the page will jump on every keystroke. It will then close the keyboard unexpectedly and reveal a button that subscribes to 4 random groups in one misclick.

If you move away to another tab or app for 30 seconds, the whole page reloads and you lose your place.

You’d think that with a trillion dollars you could get a shitty PHP feed to work smoothly.

Zuck has us cucked.

I’ve got one, and it works well enough when offline.

If not, I could set up Home Assistant and self-host it.

It’s a shame, as Mozilla gave iRobot one of the better privacy ratings. That’s the only reason I allowed it in my house to begin with.

Whenever I ssh into it.

or, as you wrote, “steals”

Nice hallucination, clanker. Fuck off.

This is a great change. I wonder how long before the hate brigade comes along to complain.

No. Employment is finite. Including someone means excluding someone else.

“DEI hire” has a different definition depending on whether you’re talking about design or implementation.

Design: Non-discriminatory hiring practices where race, gender, age, religion and disabilities are overlooked. You get hired purely on your ability to do the job. Appropriate disability supports are given if required.

Implementation: Cheap foreign labour obscured by marketing spin and a calendar of wokewashing. Applicants are hired based on a quota that in no way reflects the talent pool.

I get that hiring practices should not discriminate, but in practice, what I have seen is the opposite of meritocracy. My company had many DEI hires, and they were the first to go when the money got tight.

What’s crazy is that my small UPS consumes 20W at idle (fully charged; AC connected).

I got my server down to 40W too, and the UPS ate all the savings.

That’s amazing. I’ll have to take your word for it. I only have Firefox on my devices.

Bed goes up. AWS goes down.

These stats are far less useful than last year.

Protip: It’s really in on the tools and trends page.

AWS outage. Basically Bezos went down on all his customers.
