For forecast, you can selfhost a Open-Meteo. But note this need a lot of RAM and storage to run the weather model.

HM-SMR works better than normal DM-SMR, but it’s rare and limit the filesystem choice: none on Windows and f2fs or btrfs on Linux.

Suggest use fsfreeze --freeze to block all access operation to create a stable image without unmount the SD card. (And release it later using fsfreeze --unfreeze.)

BTW, this feature was created by XFS and was moved to VFS in Linux 2.6.29 so all filesystems supported by Linux gained this feature.

The big round corner is unbelievable ugly… at least in my opinion. If right angle is not popular in modern UI, the small round corner like in URL bar is acceptable to me, but this one is too huge…

Only GIMP can’t cover all usages of Photoshop well. For image editing, GIMP is a good replacement; for painting, Krita is better.

In anicent China, the writer and statesman Su Xun (蘇洵，苏洵) wrote a article named “On the Six Fallen States” (六國論, 六国论) about why the six states (韓、趙、魏、楚、燕、齊) were conquered by Qin (秦) during the Warring States period (戰國時代，战国时期)? The following is an excerpt from the relevant paragraph.

今日割五城，明日割十城，然后得一夕安寝。
One day five cities could be ceded, and on the next day, another ten cities could be surrendered just so that a certain person would have a single night of good sleep.
起视四境，而秦兵又至矣。
But in waking up and looking around, Qin troops again were approaching.
然则诸侯之地有限，暴秦之欲无厌，奉之弥繁，侵之愈急。
However, there was a limit to the available land of the lords and callous Qin’s avarice could never be satiated. The more there were giveaways, the more earnest Qin’s aggression would become.
故不战而强弱胜负已判矣。
So, even before going into battle, the odds-on-favorite and the most likely victor had already been decided.
至于颠覆，理固宜然。
As to the ultimate toppling, that was a forgone conclusion.
古人云：“以地事秦，犹抱薪救火，薪不尽，火不灭。”
Ancient people said: “Using land to serve Qin State would be like carrying firewood to put out fire. As long as there’s firewood left, the fire would not be extinguished.”

In ancient, the six states use land to serve Qin state; in modern, the people use money to serve the companies provide subscription. The more people who pay for a subscription, the more power they have over price increases and control over your data.

If some applications require GMS, use microG instead.

I use digiKam and do sync manually.

Will it work well with existed IME like Fcitx5? Or I can choose only one of them?

I see Qt Virtual Keyboard has their own InputMethod implementations, but I think it’s not a good idea to re-invent a new IME when there is no obvious advantage, because InputMethod is not a simple thing in some languages like Chinese and Japanese.

For example, libime, the core algorithm library of fcitx5-chinese-addons uses 47k SLOC to implement a good pinyin input method algorithm, even not count the Trigram language model, which is around 30MiB.

As a comparison, the pinyin algorithm of Qt Virtual Keyboard (it seems come from deprecated AOSP’s PinyinIME) uses only 8k SLOC. And PinyinIME was give up by AOSP since 2014, it never updates since that time (and no algorithm update since 2009). At 2018, Qt pull it into Qt Virtual Keyboard and never do actual algorithm optimization. So it has fallen away from the time.

I’m looking for a Android SSH application with FIDO2 *-sk support. But I found none of them are open source and non-subscription. Termux is open source, it’s good, but their libfido2 is unpatched so can’t communicate with security key via USB or NFC on Android. ConnectBot is also great, but it lacks maintenance and doesn’t support *-sk as well.

Iosevka, of course.

and even without it, you’ll get 150mA @ 5V by default out of the USB 3 host upstream and up to 900mA with some pretty basic USB negotiation in a protocol that dates from USB 1.0

That’s wrong. With USB Type-C, you can get the power up to 3A @ 5V with just two 5.1kΩ resistor on CC pins.

Oh. It’s great. But it seems there is only armv7a build on IzzyOnDroid repo while upstream has four architecture builds. cc @[email protected] Is it a misconfiguration on IzzyOnDroid side?

Without it, the program just fallback to UTC. /etc/localtime and $TZ are two ways to specify timezone for programs. The program look up the later first, if it’s empty and then use /etc/localtime. In theory, $TZ has better performance because of the glibc will not look up the last modified time of /etc/localtime when every calling of localtime lookup.

In fact, sadly, DNT can be used to track user because only few users enable it.

IMAPSync is a great tool! It works perfect when migrate mails from one provider to another. In fact, some providers suggest users use this tool rather than implement migration feature by themselves. e.g. Migadu.

I print recovery codes of all services and packed them into a bag.

That may be because the hostname can’t be resolved.

They doesn’t use normal beta channel, and publish a new application named Bitwarden Beta.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.x8bit.bitwarden.beta

Yeah. Bitwarden developed a new android client written by Kotlin to replace old C# client. This new client is in beta testing currently. The old client supports both PascalCase and camelCase but the new client only supports camelCase. And Vaultwarden use PascalCase now, so it’s incompatible with new Android client.
