So it’s not just me. The peering between europe and asia IS crap!

I’ve been to thailand in november and the connections to europe were hit or miss the whole time. The latency was poor and the reliability varied day by day.

The only thing that made any difference was switching providers on the EU side. It seems that some ISPs have better peering than others.

Also lowering the MTU for the vpn tunnel seemd to help a lot, but that might’ve been a placebo.

the rest only accessible through login and verification

Yes. If you can’t fight the death of the www, embrace it! Help making it happen!

speed will increase as development continues

LoRa is already surfing on the bleeding edge of physics. There is no way to get anything more out of it, other than allocating wider EM spectrum for this usecase.

There are some radio amateurs in my area trying Meshcore on 169Mhz for example. There are also some new boards available that can do LoRa on 2.4Ghz, but both approaches have some downsides as well.

For a more stable and reliable network, we would also need radios capable of communicating on multiple channels simultaneously (remember, the whole thing started off as a reaction to really cheap, almost disposable dev boards), but now we’re approaching the complexity and requirements of the traditional mobile networks.

People who studied the code speak really fondly about reticulum, however, it’s not as popular for building the lora based mesh networks, because the full stack does not run on the simple microcontroller. You need what is basically a standard PC connected to it. Given that mesh repeaters are usually designed to run off-grid on solar and battery, wasting additional power for a raspberry pi or similar computer would make the project unfeasible.

All while Meshtastic or Meshcore are perfectly happy with the esp32 or nrf microcontrollers. And the nrf ones can run without a direct sunshine for days with the reasonably large battery.

Yes. They should use a generic word that’s already used by 15 other projects… that’s how everyone does SEO these days. :P

Only half joking, though. It’s such a rare and refreshing experience to enter a name of a thing into a search engine and get the relevant results.

It’s far from ugly.

It should be available. Right click / Translate selection.

If I’m thankful for one thing in the IT sphere, it’s the end of the netbook era. Those machines should never have been made in the first place.

While the form factor was great in theory, the performance was lacking, and the cooling was inadequate.

TIL, my house is filled with “advanced hacking equipment”.

That’s terrible… for the real kidnapers.

I feel like the opensuse is always on the outskirt when discussing distros, but their security reviews are often pretty brutal, in a good way.

I have a deep respect for them ever since they ripped a new one to the deepin devs / packagers.

So the google can spy on anyone’s phone calls without a consent (google screening), but if you want to record your own phone calls, there needs to be a mandatory warning. Makes total sense :D

edit: but at least this enables automatic call recording, not just a button, plus automatic deletion of old recordings. This is actually pretty useful.

I’ve patiently waited until the flashing guide for the roborock s8 was out, went to buy the s8 pro ultra, just to discover valetudo has dropped the support, because appearently a different version of the same robot was silently released, that would’ve been turned into a brick if I tried the installation procedure.

Now I have a dumb robot. It does like 95% of what I expect it to do, but I might at least solder an ep32 to the top buttons so that scheduling through the home assistant would be possible

A user copies it without scrutiny, pastes it into the omnibox

User has to type or paste the malicious prompt manually into the box. This is not a bug.

The whole article is a marketing piece to promote NeuralTrust.

That sounds like a fancy speak for a Trusted Platform Module. Isn’t some kind of TPM mandatory to obtain a google certification for a new device?

The dawn of the 4G will forever be remembered as the time our civilization forgot how to make phones that can make phone calls. I feel embarrassed every time I randomly think about VoLTE.

people have stories how the dev is an ass

If an opensource project has an author who’s not a jerk, that’s when you get suspicious!

I once put my homelab rack outside of my apartment, in the hall. Then used it to catch a bastard who kept stealing my bike light, and later tried to snatch the whole bike.
