Are the little fighter ships worth it for bounties?
  • When you have an NPC pilot hired, they ALWAYS take some of your earnings, from ALL activities not just when you are using them.

    They also take some of your combat rank, which may be the grindiest to raise.

    So if you think it would be fun, go for it. Fixed beam Taipan is best unless NPCs still can't aim. If it's not about fun as much, then I wouldn't use one.

  • You probably don't need a local Firewall

    If the computer never leaves the house, maybe. If it's ever on public Wi-Fi though, default deny inbound at a bare minimum. Linux computers with cups installed and running but no firewall were revealed yesterday to be vulnerable to RCE.

  • This is great:

    What if my experimental protocol is approaching the 3 month removal period but I am missing ACKs due to reviewer inactivity?

    Contributors engaging in good faith protocol development should not be penalized due to reviewer inactivity. It is advised that experimental protocol authors post memes to the base MR until reviewers become active.

    What if an experimental protocol author posts memes to the MR for many months rather than furthering development?

    It is expected that protocol authors are seriously attempting to reach staging/ status. If it is determined by members that this is not the case for a given experimental protocol after a three month period has elapsed, the one week removal notice may be invoked regardless of how good the memes may be.

  • Engineers being too nice?
  • Yep, been a bug for years. Enjoy!

  • What gamepad?
  • I have a couple Xbox controllers. Wired they work fine. If you use Bluetooth it really depends on the Bluetooth chip and I've had some really bad ones. Also certain models will require firmware updates from Windows before they will pair.

  • Does it matter if one performs a system update while Reflector is running?
  • The list does change and mirrors do degrade. I once ran in to an issue where my chosen mirror was now incomplete and causing problems.

    Every boot or every day is overkill though imo. I do weekly.

  • End of an era: Nova Launcher's parent company lays off practically everyone
  • You're posting this brief message a lot, so I googled it, and, no releases since October 2022? Only on f droid and is there really no way to pay other than PayPal donations? Am I looking at the right neo launcher?

    Development isn't dead, but the lack of releases and fees (one time purchase, please) don't give me confidence.

  • Various distros across different families freezing when doing package manager updates
  • What hardware? And can you narrow down when during updates?

    I had this problem on Arch on a 5 year old Lenovo laptop with an Nvidia 1660ti GPU. With judicious use of set -x I narrowed it down to systemd daemon-reload.

    I actually changed my ext4 journal mode and added a pacman hook in that calls sync before any systemd hooks ran, after the second time half of the package updates got lost due to the freeze.

    Because the problem only happened most times, and usually not soon after a reboot, I can't prove it, but the problem hasn't reoccurred since I switched the Nvidia driver to the open flavor.

  • [Very bad take] Why open source are not that important (servers and IT)
  • I wouldn't recommend watching it,

    So why are you giving him views by prominently linking it? It looks like you're just bringing the rage bait here.

  • [SOLVED] still cannot open a transmission port, what am I doing wrong?
  • You can still torrent without forwarding a port, for example by only making outgoing connections. But that may limit your speed, and figuring out forwarding should help.

  • Which of these VPS providers would you recommend?
  • Of all those, I've only heard of Heztner. Am I out of touch?

    I've been a Linode customer for years, and I used to use Digital Ocean as well. I've been happy with them, did you consider them?

  • The marketing fluff doesn't, but they actually did increase upload speeds. Mine went from 10 to 20 up. And here is the DSL reports forum thread from when this round started.

    Also, they are testing larger increases. I could get 100 up today, if I had a supported modem.

    So, check your actual plan and modem to see what you have now.

  • Self-hosted Content-Security-Policy report, etc, collector/displayer?

    tl;dr: self-hosted report-uri.com ?

    I messed up my site's Content-Security-Policy and blew up my report quota on report-uri.com last month. I'm happy with them, but I don't really want to pay for this service, and I want to avoid that in the future. So I'm looking for something(s) to:

    1. Collect Content-Security-Policy browser reports (go-csp-collector is sufficient here, if not great, as it doesn't support the newer Report-To) and log to JSON (or whatever)
    2. Collect other browser reports such as NEL, Deprecation, Crash and log to JSON
    3. Collect SMTP-TLS and DMARC email reports and log to JSON
    4. Display them somehow for searching and for seeing trends: preferably something less manual than Grafana, but I can collect the logs and do custom dashboards in Grafana that parse JSON (or whatever) logs if I need to.
    5. Let me filter incoming reports based on various things (like ignore CSP reports with no URL)

    In my searches I found plenty of SaaS and no source code for the whole thing. Sentry and its clones are too much; I don't want to instrument an app I don't have. I did find plenty of 5-year old abandoned projects, though.

    So, what's out there in this space for self-hosting?

    For reference, report-uri.com looks like the below, with the ability to drill down and filter and see reports.

    [Solved] [Android beta] allowing Thunderbird to use "Alarms & Reminders"?

    Edit: Solved

    Either:

    • Set K-9 to Unrestricted Battery in Settings > Apps > K-9 Mail > App battery usage, OR
    • Allow K-9 in Settings > Apps > Special app access > Alarms & Reminders.

    If K-9 is already set to Unrestricted, then it won't appear in the second place.

    ---

    OS: Android 14, Pixel 8

    I'm annoyed by this fixed bug (watch does not vibrate when receiving mail), so I enabled the K-9 beta in the app store, and as of today I have version 6.713 which hopefully has the fix.

    The release notes say:

    > Note: For now please manually allow "alarms & reminders" in Android's app settings when using Push on Android 14

    ... but I can't find those settings. Under Settings > Apps > Special app access > Alarms & Reminders, K-9 mail isn't listed, and there's no Add button.

    !

    I do have Push enabled on my email accounts; and I have the notification silenced.

    I have K-9 set to Unrestricted battery access.

    What am I missing?
