It’s not just they are doing age verification, but the method they are using to implement it. ID collection is not privacy respecting, and further to that, they’ve already had a major data leak, including said IDs. For the facial scan method, they claim that it will be on-device only but given that it’s closed source software, they could change this at any time.

reg.bom.gov.au has existed for a few years at least and always had HTTPS as far as I can remember. The original HTTP site was just retired altogether from what I can tell.

Can I see it?

The reg subdomain linked in the OP also supports HTTPS.

Endurain, a self hosted fitness app, may get gadgetbridge integration once the network helper is finished.

SteamOS is great but there are too many games that require Windows.

It’s mainly multiplayer games with anti-cheat malware. If they prefer single player games, they’ll be fine.

It’s drinking the water!

Yep, and you’d think the conspiracy theorists would see that a cheap or free vaccine is exactly counter to all of their theories about people being kept sick so they can pay for ongoing prescriptions.

If you remember the early Fairphone models they were truly underspecced, so this is reasonable by comparison. And with respect to LineageOS, my experience is that only popular phones get long term support and it’s a bit of a crapshoot. And this is only going to get worse as more and more manufacturers disable bootloader unlocking, or make it incredibly obnoxious to do so (see Xiaomi).

Getting a phone that isn’t a Pixel and is going to have long term support (including non-Android variants) is the main motivation here as I see it. And I’d personally be willing to have slightly weaker specs for that, although the price outside of Europe will push it away from “worth it” I suspect.

Classic delay tactic from the fossil fuel industry. Prop up some bullshit alternative that will never happen in order to delay the actual solution.

The kernel doesn’t use semantic versioning, so it’s just an arbitrary rename from 6.20 to 7.0. We will know the changes when 6.20 / 7.0 is in the -rc phase, which should be soon as 6.19 was just released.

He’s a grifter more than anything else and will do whatever he believes serves his own interests, and only his own interests.

The head of HHS, RFK Jr, famously killed a bunch of people in Samoa by lobbying against the measles vaccine. And Oz himself has anti-vaccine stances toward a number of other vaccines. Seems like consistent messaging may be helpful here.

Here’s a recent article and recommendations on the tradeoffs of sun exposure for vitamin D versus the risk of skin cancer: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1326020023052949

tl;dr risk and benefit is based on skin colour primarily. Pale skinned people need very little sun exposure to get sufficient Vitamin D in most cases while being at much higher risk of skin cancer. For dark skinned people, the situation is reversed (need more sun exposure and are at less risk of skin cancer).

I brought this wall from home!

An alternative for this specific case is to use a bread machine. It’s superior to store bought bread and only takes a few minutes of work.

They also initially took content from libgen, which is a fair bit less legal. Personally, I have mixed feelings about all of this. On the one hand, I don’t like some shitty for-profit AI company making money from the collective works of civilisation. On the other hand, I think copyright protects works for far too long anyway and most should be in the commons already. Mind you, I would be more sympathetic if Anthropic et al. were doing all this for research purposes instead of capitalism. Maybe that would be a better copyright reform, in that it expires much more quickly than the current laws (say 10 years) but restricts third parties making a profit for a longer period. Likely that would be complex to design and enforce, however.

Probably need a bit more detail for this like caddy logs and your caddy config. I did a similar thing on NixOS with services.acme getting the certs and then configuring the cert files to include caddy group access (I didn’t use caddy directly either for those reading as the DNS challenge approach requires third party plugins which is a bit annoying on NixOS).

Sunshine and moonlight. Or just ssh if it’s for administrative tasks.

I think a better approach would be:

• Support conventional TOTP codes that any other 2FA app supports

• Give passkeys first-class support (currently there is a bug where a passkey login is not counted as a real login, so you could lose your account due to inactivity if you don’t login with a password in a while)

• Support disabling SMS 2FA due to its security issues, although maybe don’t remove it yet globally due to the need to support older devices and less technical users.

I know some are wary about passkeys because they are often tied to a device, but common password managers now have great support for it (such as bitwarden and keepassXC) and you could even use a physical key instead.
