True programmers know that novice code is a rite of passage. Every programmer worth their salt looks at their own older code and cringes at it. Most people who do this for a living are more likely to give helpful pointers rather than tear you down, if anything.

If someone is being a jerk to you about your code, stop listening to them immediately and walk away or block them.

To be clear, with the default OS, you don't get true 24/7 heart rate tracking. You can simulate it though by turning the heart rate monitor "app" on and backing out of it without stopping it, and then make sure you have the wake on movement options enabled.

The pinetime is a very basic smart watch. It is not fancy in any stretch of the imagination. It shows the text of notifications only, does very basic heart rate monitoring, and you have to manually go into a different "app" to do multimedia controls. You'll notice I'm saying app in quotes. They're more like built-in function menus, you can't install new apps.

But despite all that, I have never had a watch this refreshingly good to use. I have had 2 WearOS watches and work gave me a demo Apple Watch to show customers. All of them were nice, but all of them had that enshittification ooze leaking out of them.

Pinetime is simple. It works. It simply works. And for that, I love it.

Oh and the week-long battery is nice too.

There absolutely is, it just takes effort. Many MMOs do this, and as a result almost all of them are playable on linux.

They work identically to Windows but the filepath to the game changes. Plus, with the recent patch in Proton Experimental, loading DLLs that sit next to the game executable should work better.

This needs to get added to the common nomenclature as the third option 😂

I meant self hosting XMPP or similar to replace texting with.

We use one of these at work! There are a couple of companies offering these solutions such as PaloAlto, Zscaler, etc. and they are typically of the "Next-Gen Firewall" variety (I.e. they scan the content of the packets rather than just routes and ports and such).

The way they work is basically that you establish VPN connections to their endpoints, and they scan the traffic as it passes through. Like a VPN, you get a new IP address that is shared with other customers, but there is a way to pin your original IP in the packet headers if you need.

These connections can be handled via one of a few ways:

1. Software on the workstation (best option as it allows deeper traffic routing and control, as long as your workstations are locked down)

2. IPSec tunnels configured on the building's router service's endpoints/datacenters

3. GRE tunnels configured on the building's router to the service's endpoints/datacenters

4. A physical firewall box that sits in front of your other hardware that does any of the above OR something bespoke

Note that unless you have option 4, none of these replace traditional "dumb" firewalls. If you're still using IPv4, you still need a NAT firewall.

None. And F-Droid provides guarantees of trustworthiness that go above what getting it directly from the source can do.

"a 1,000" reads out as "a one thousand". Please correct it to either:

• 1,000

• a thousand

Not if you're self-hosting and de-googled they won't.

W... What?
