I wonder if we should create a search engine that is like a library. Only a curated list of website make it in.
This is not difficult technologically, but require quite an organization to back it up.

is it possibly called "4g calling" on android?

I advice against it. If you install HAOS you loose control of your device entirely. Forget root, you don't even get a shell (on the actual host system, escaping from the nest of dockers).

This seems to be the cause on all stock android! At least it is for the fairphone 6 when out of the box.
It is terribile and I hate it that is default. It's so stupid.

What is the best non spying #DNS people use these days?
Assume my ISP, OpenDNS (208.67.222.222) , google (8.8.8.8) and cloudflare (1.1.1.1) are not respecting my privacy at all

probably no one reads it here, but you should give some resources to [@postmarketOS](https://social.treehouse.systems/@postmarketOS ) , since they are the forefront for this problem; and they tackle it even before recycling, making these devices reusable.

are you implying an arm chip with a uefi firmware so that it does not need a device tree to boot?
That implication alone has me dreaming of better days.

but it should not be too hard to replicate. You need pre and post install hooks, and a cron job that deletes old snapshots with some euristics.

no, it would not have blocked side loading on your RV. The change was only meant for devices that run the google play services.

the only thought left is a file read permission. Something like the user needs to be added to the USB or SERIAL readwrite group. Normally I would suggest "run it with sudo" to do a quick test, but I would not do that for a browser...
Does serial work from a terminal with a simpler client?

stupid question: have you tried to disable the firewall to check if it's interfering in any way?

2025-11-20 10:07:44 GMT

The unwrap thing is the equivalent of ignoring the return value of C functions that can fail.
I still prefer the Rust syntax for this, at least ignoring the error is explicit text in code.
In C ignoring a possible error is silent. To spot the error one would need to know the function signature and documentation in advance.
Side note: exceptions are even worse in my humble opinion. They have the advantage of giving more information about an error than just a null or a negative number. But it's even less obvious which function might return an exception and what's the best place to handle them.
Functions with multiple return values are the way to go, even better if the return value is a tagged enum with information on both the correct operation or the error.

isn't a webhook just an URL that some service will GET at the appropriate time?
What am I missing here?

I would probably wrap it in a small executable that starts the bash script, to add a bit of isolation. Unless you need to see the bash script output in the http response.
I can make you that small executable if you want.

Can I suggest Hugo instead? Ruby is such a pain.

On a positive note, #KDE can not only mix HDR and non HDR windows next to each other, but can also mix different monitors together, at different HDR settings, different framerates even when they are overlapping (cloned screens)

I did, it was a very manual process. There's no tool to do it, so you get new chats and tell people the new address.
The only important bit to remember is to transfer all admin rights before you close the old account.

I think the scariest thing is to make curl|bash normalized and then people running this from random websites for every single tool all the time. Then I don't have the same guarantees that a project like Asahi has.
Maybe a project is malicious, or their website is compromised.
I'm mostly scared about malicious project personally.
