In general the impression I have from reading various sources is that Cyberpunk missions are good sources
So far I like some of missions in Tales of Night City.
You mean this?
Yeah, in the end you’ll always end up doing an inspiration rather than running it directly. But among pre-prepared missions there are those that are flexible and those that rely on assumptions. I was hoping that maybe someone had looked at this book and has an opinion which category these fall in
It was a great adventure. But yeah, that setup was on 24/7. Not because of compilation, but it definitely made a lot of this more feasible
Gentoo unstable was a little bit tiring in the long run. The bleeding edge, but often I needed to downgrade because the rest of the libraries were not ready
Gentoo stable was really great. Back then pulseaudio was quite buggy. Having a system where I could tell all applications and libraries to not even link to it (so no need to have it installed at all) made avoiding its problems really easy
But when my hardware got older and compilation of libreoffice started to take 4h, I remembered how nice it was on Slackware where you just install package you broke and you’re done
Arch looked like a nice middle-ground. Most of the things in packages, big focus on pure Linux configurability (pure /etc files, no Ubuntu(or SUSE?) “you need working X.org to open distro-specific graphics card settings”) and AUR for things there are no official packages for. Turned out it was a match :)
Windows (~6 years) -> Mandriva (Mandrake? For I think 2-3 years) -> Ubuntu (1 day) -> Suse (2 days) -> Slackware (2-3 years) -> Gentoo unstable (2-3 years) -> Gentoo stable (2-3 years) -> Arch (9 years and counting)
The only span I’m sure about is the last one. When I started a job I decided I don’t have the time to compile the world anymore. But the values after Windows sum up to 21, should be 20, so it’s all more or less correct
Request: if you decide to add new blogs, could you also make a post about it on your blog, please?
After some time I discovered that I’d prefer narrower choice of blogs, so I copied your selection and manually created my own list. But I’d still like to leverage your moderation, so if you wrote about it on your blog, I would know to check them out
I don’t think there’s one answer to that. To me it depends on the context of the clock and what’s your plan for pacing. Also it will be part of your style that you just have to find for yourself, what works for you
(Cyberpunk examples)
So depending on what you want to do it’s either bigger or smaller clock, with consequences either in fiction or mechanical
If you want to access your computer from outside your LAN, it would be a good idea to at least secure it or, unfortunately the best, learn to understand what you are doing
Coming back to the topic, though, I’d start with checking these out
When I don’t have the time to enable sheltered apps, I use Firefox with uBlock and AutoCookieDelete to watch the links
Last time I did this was a few hours ago
Characters in the title are not the regular ones making it look like a spam mail, no link, description sounds like corpo LLM. If there really is some podcast somewhere, I think it deserves better
Yeah, I was wrong
Is there a limit to one-time cards
There should be something about that in the Revolut EULA or something like that. But I’ve never encountered it. The moment the payment goes through, a new card appears in the app
Can you elaborate But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer
It’s a business. A closed source. They are of course bound by laws and regulations but there’s practically no way to make sure they aren’t selling transaction data/statistics under the table. Also, the cards issued by them are either visa or mastercard (IDR), so these companies have that info too. And I’d bet they sell transactions analytics
Then there’s also the matter of telemetry. Apart from telemetry gathered by the app for Revolut, I guess there’s no way to use it without Gapps
FWIW I did not notice an influx of spam after registering an account. But that doesn’t prove anything, of course
We can’t inspect the code of the app. So it’s probably only as private as other bank apps
most banks do not support NFC payments in their apps
Huh? All the other banks I use support it
But you’re right regarding Revolut. I just checked and I was wrong, it’s not there in the settings. I have no idea how I used it with NFC in the past, then. Most of the time I use BLIK
WDYM by source? You just open phone settings, NFC and choose Revolut to be the app to be used with NFC
If you choose to be issued physical card there probably is a way to just copy it physically into NFC but I haven’t used that
Revolut is just another bank. It’s just a little less behind the times than most
I’m not sure what “tap to pay” is and I haven’t used privacy.com. But you can attach your Revolut card to NFC in phone. Without going through Google Wallet
It also issues one-time cards that get destroyed after one use
In general it’s pretty handy, even if as pre-paid account
But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer
access my documents on my different computers or my Android phone
I had similar setup but I was using obsidian and pcloud. Syncing up&down was done by scripts using rclone/roundsync (android). Script part might be harder to achieve using windows
But I came here to say that I finally decided to test syncthing and it’s so much easier! And just works. Now pcloud is rather a backup and sharing than gateway
Haven’t tested it but it seems so. Android client has the button too
