Me this morning. I’m gonna take a look at why this Jenkins pipeline is failing. This one job starts a dozen others. Half are failing. For different reasons. After starting rewriting a job that someone half assed. Realize the original error was caused by missing input but some are still valid. Still can’t figure out why my rewritten program is erroring. Get pulled away because another program did something weird… I completed nothing today but worked a ton.

My day…

I wanted to but my pixel bootloader is carrier locked. Supposedly you can call and ask them to unlock it if you own the device but not sure if that’s true.

Yeah same. It sucks. I got into Google stuff back when Gmail was in beta and invite only. Admittedly I really only use Gmail, drive and the calendar. But the sso aspects is the part that is the hangup I think. I have so many accounts utilizing their identity provider solution.

Wow, I thought the same op. Incredible.

Fwiw, I switched to Linux a couple months back (pop_os!) and I’ve been very happy. I’ve had some minor issues (random gaming proton crashes, os freezes) and some learning experiences. Occasional fiddling with stuff seems required but not an every day thing. The benefits of Linux vastly outway the minor issues.

Lol. Legitimately.

I usually go Spigen rugged armor. Cheap, minimal and works great. Last 4 phones I’ve used that model.

Mullvad currently but NordVPN also worked. Not sure what debrid service your using but rd has a page that lists compatible VPN services

Fwiw I use a VPN on debrid because I don’t trust it otherwise.

Isolinear chips have arrived.

True! I was shocked looking at my pihole logs and see how much Firefox phones home for that crap the other day.

For example: Firefox today on my pihole.

It does the canvas anti fingerprinting with it’s letterbox style display… Is strict with cross site cookie denial. A few more differences. Check out mulls site. I found it pretty detailed in its explanations

Spotify is nearing the cut point for me. Subbed since 2011. The UI is getting worse…

I’m all for this protection but for the sake of argument isn’t use of the service consent to begin with? Or is that the American argument around these types of regulation?

I’m a pihole, vpn, adblock and invidious user ftr… 😂

Try a different invidious instance. The one that it defaulted to might be overloaded. It’s works great. I’m loving it.

Yep I’m very impressed with syncthing. I just started using it a few weeks ago.

What’s amusing is I am purposely not paying for bitwarden because of the check against darkweb leaks or whatever type feature when you pay. That’s seems like an anti privacy thing. I understand it’s a good idea albeit seems to expose a lot of information about you. I would like to do vaultwarden but don’t think I can trust self hosting myself without paying monthly for a vps which I don’t want to do. Home Internet hosting seems to unreliable to me for something that important.

Just random thoughts of mine here.

I’m in this graph and I like it.

6 pro here and I say the same. Best phone I’ve had since my s7 active. Everything between that and this was garbage. Well, I did like my lg g8 thinq but it had an unplanned swimming incident. I’m going to get a pixel as my next assuming graphene OS is still able to be loaded.
