He won't sit on a couch next to me or by himself. He might hang out with me on my bed but 80% of the time he's on the floor.

Is he hot?

Is he sad?

Can I do something to help him?

He's 2 btw

Is WiFi calling a decent alternative to VoIP? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] danhab99@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

First of all I just want to say that I completely agree with all of the technical things you talked about in his question but I think you kind of miss his question.

OP doesn't wanna be on SS7 (the thing that gives you your phone number), neither do I. I've just come to the conclusion that when it comes to infrastructure and paying for your goods SS7 is the only realistic option I have.

There is no distributed communication network anyone can just connect to. And the dream of leaving WiFi access points open for free (or for some kinda crypto-pay, e.g SkyNet) is just a dream, individuals have to invest in it and nobody wants to or take responsibility for it.

Here are some rules:

  1. Somebody* has to build the radios and computers that our phones connect to and has to build them all over the world (*doesn't have to be an individual, could be a company or government)
  2. You gotta pay to use it (whether it's with a billing account where they have your full name and house address, or crypto)
  3. It's gotta be the easiest option

If we can come with a solution that fits these rules we can do away with the SS7 cellular protocol and have a truly anonymous network.

How proficient do you rate yourself in your most coded language? in c/programming@programming.dev

I have no fear of implementing anything I'm asked to in typescript go rust java c# f# or nix... They're all the same tool just kinda different in some places.

Nix and home-manager, those are the only 2 I have off the top of my head.

What is something you SHOULD cheap out on? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

They are categorized as headphones

Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Audio-Technica and Sony aren't famous luxury brands in the same way that Beats are.

huh... in hindsight I didn't think about my position about headphones all the way through, I was just mad about the existance of beats.

sry

[–] danhab99@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago (11 children)

Cloths, headphones, handbags. Anything that's just buying the brand.

I don't get why I should want these high end brands when the only thing I can afford from them is plastered with their logo.

I've seen the Gucci tracksuit, the Jordans, the Beats, everything and I'm not impressed. Even though luxury things are luxury I don't even agree with the luxuriousness of many of these products. For example, if I'm going to wear a Gucci tracksuit covered in the Gucci logo and using Gucci colors then it's gotta look good first and foremost. If I'm going to hold a Hermes bag that's not comfortable, or durable, or robust but is just supposed to look cool, then it's gotta actually look cool! Not like something Shien could design.

And yes I am aware of the concept of buying a store of value: diamonds, expensive watches, actually rare and valued handbags. But most of the famous luxuries I see in public are not that. They're literally a poor man's status symbol IMO.

LGBT in Denver? (programming.dev)
 

I'm thinking about moving to Denver and starting my adult life. I live near NYC but I just don't like it. NYC is dirty, stinky, and unjustifiably expensive. I see rents in Denver between 1400-2000 for a reasonable yet not posh apartment and I can afford it by myself.

TBH I could afford NYC with roommates too but it's everything that is just ridiculously expensive, NYC just feels unfair and nuyorkians take the unfairness out on everyone. I don't want to live my adult life feeling like I should just bite the bullet every time I wanna do something, I want to spend reasonably.

But I'm gay and I gotta have that gay energy in my life, Denver looks great, I'm just curious about what you guys think about Denver Colorado.

Thoughts? Opinions? Warnings?

[Question] what exactly is hard about adopting IPv6?? (programming.dev)
 

I mean on a technical level. Are the devices that make up the infrastructure of the internet hardwired with IPv4? Is the firmware on these devices impossible to upgrade remotely?

If it's just a matter of software or firmware then adoption should only take like a year but clearly that isn't the case. So what specifically is stopping us?

Can someone help me find an obscure ass song? (programming.dev)
 

I heard it a few years ago on SoundCloud but now I can't find it. I remember some details:

  1. It's mostly "Bad Thoughts" by bbno$
  2. It starts with the opening lyrics from ADDICTED from Hazbin Hotel
  3. George Carlin's "rat shit bat shit" chant makes an appearance every once in awhile
  4. There were some other sound bits that I don't have a clear memory of but I remember thinking they were unique

I know that these are like the craziest search params in the world but I'm so confident that this thing exists and is not an amalgamation of forgotten memories that resurfaced in fragments. It would be really cool if I could hear it again.

Please?

Is there a file browser with fzf like capabilities (programming.dev)

I feel like I'd use my file browser if it was easier to get around. ctrp-p like zoxide/fzf would be game changing.

Edit: sry tbh I wasn't clear.. I was asking for a GUI file browser, sry ranger covers my tui needs

Fraudsters of Lemmy, how would you commit fraud if governments embrace cryptography (programming.dev)
 

I saw this tiktok where this guy was talking about how he'd get his hands on real social security numbers.. this was a clip from a whole story he told about some criminal shit, I was too distracted by my thoughts on how to fix the exploits he used.

Block chains and cryptographic signatures would solve basically every one of his exploits. But regardless of the myriad of reasons as to why we won't adopt cryptography into American laws and bureaucracy, imagine if we did do everything involving government and policy in a cryptographically secure environment.

Imagine if everyone who is born gets assigned a gpg secret key signed by the government and that is your government ID for everything from opening a bank account to paying your taxes to claiming benefits. IMPO I think this is a perfect solution (iif you ignore the human element).

So my question is why wouldn't it be perfect, and what kind of exploits could bad actors use in a cryptographic bureaucracy?

Looking for emotional support: I lost all my WhatsApp chats (programming.dev)
 

I was so confident that WhatsApp was backing itself up to Google ever since I got my new pixel but I just wasn't. Then yesterday I factory reset my phone to fix something else and I lost it all. Years worth of chats from so many times in my past just aren't there, all my texts with my mom and my family, group chats with old friends... I can't even look at the app anymore, I'll never use Whatsapp as much as I used to. I just don't feel right with this change. There's no way to get those chats back and now it doesn't feel like there's any point backing up WhatsApp now! I really wanna cry like this is so unfair!! And all I had to do was check Whatsapp before I did a factory reset.. the TINIEST THING I could have done and prevented this and I didn't fucking do it!!!!!!!

How do I get past this?

Did anyone know that Domino's Pizza patented their order tracking system? (patents.google.com)
 

I know about software patents but what's the point when somebody can achieve the exact same functionality from the user's perspective using totally different code. Just seems like a waste on a patent lawyer.

How are highliners operated? (programming.dev)
 

I've watched all the YouTube videos and tiktoks about the spice and the guild navigators.. basically they're what exists instead of decision making computers.

But what do they actually do to operate the ship? Like they looked and saw some shit and now they have to do something about it.

Does the navigator have buttons and levers to configure the drive? Do they just speak words to some sort of helmsman about how to steer? Do they write out instructions? Is there some sort of telepathy or telekinesis the navigator does with the hardware?

Whenever I Google it I just find articles and videos about spice. What about SOP?
