OH MAN. I worked on an Android tablet that used a rockchip CPU, not the one listed here but an older one (I think RK3026). What a PIECE OF SHIT. I don’t wish that tablet on my worst enemy. Battery life was like sub 2 hours with a 3200 mAh battery. Sometimes it would start running hot, and you could watch the batter percentage go down one percent every 10-20 seconds. The only way to break it out was to reboot it or let it die.

We later upgraded our CPU to the 3288, one gen older than this one, and it was significantly improved, but still very entry level.

Thank you! I’ll give this another try this weekend!

What lists do you have? They pretty much all came up for me. I tried it again with ublock origin to compare, but none showed up with ublock origin.

Well, sure. I type on my laptop that doesn’t have any of these as physical keys. It’s fn+arrow keys for pg up, pg down, home, and end, for example.

This is one of the ones I used

I set up pihole a few months ago. I added a few dozen of the highest recommended block lists, but I wasn’t impressed at all. It didn’t seem very effective at blocking ads in both real world tests and tests that I found online specifically for testing your adblocker.

You don’t use Home? Home and End are my two most used keys on this list. IDEs move your cursor to the beginning of the line but after the indents. It’s God -tier.

I’m not sure I understand the question. They are used to encrypt traffic and prove that the entity hosting the site hasn’t changed by using a digital signature. These two together make it so third parties can’t read the traffic coming through. This is a requirement for modern internet. Otherwise your passwords wouldn’t be a secret because literally anyone would see them.

Letsencrypt provides free certificates. It’s very easy to get one from them.

I just got moved to a new team, and my new team lead up arrow spams. I was about to tell him about ctrl-r, but he found his command, and I’m awkward, so I didn’t say anything. Maybe next time.

Oh right a web interface. That makes more sense. 😅

Yeah, I really do need to get around to setting that up…

Oh, I don’t have a GUI for my server. But I’m sure they have a command line interface for it, right?

Ugh. I really gotta switch to this. I started out by using Apache because that’s what I use for work, and just what I know. I create the configs and get the certificates from Let’s Encrypt manually. But now I have so many services that switching to something else feels daunting. But it’s kind of a pain in the ass every time I add something new.

I restored from a backup when I swapped to a bigger SSD. Worked perfectly first try. I use rsnapshot for backups.

Oh, got it. That makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, that’s how I do it now. I just mount the network drive on each PC and they can all access the same files. I’m just wondering if there’s a usecase that syncthing has that my workflow doesn’t that I just can’t think of because I haven’t used it.

I have a network drive that I put all my documents on. Would using syncthing have a better workflow than that?

I set up AirMessage, and it is very glitchy. I can’t message some people because I get an error every time. You need to own a Mac to set it up, and it needs to always be awake. So if you have a laptop, it doesn’t really work. There is an option to give your apple login info to a third party, and they will run it on their Mac, but I don’t trust that at all.

I’m the opposite. I am so bad at coming up with ideas, but writing code for a new project with no tech debt is exhilarating.

I watched a coworker run rm -rf * from / as root the other day. He started wondering why things weren’t working. I told him what he just did, but he didn’t get it at all. Luckily it was a VM that could be recreated from a template. He probably lost 30 minutes of time. But it could have been waaaay worse if it wasn’t a disposable VM.
