Yep. Android does this by default, but each ssid gets a randomized MAC which persists. It is still straightforward to trigger a MAC change manually tho. It is useful for privacy but imo useless for the public wifi limits use case since they almost always require an OTP via SMS to log in.
For devices running Android 11 or higher, users can enable non-persistent MAC randomization globally for all Wi-Fi networks (that have MAC randomization enabled) through the developer options screen. The option to enable non-persistent MAC randomization for all profiles is found at Settings > Developer Options > Wi-Fi non-persistent MAC randomization.
OTP via SMS: depends on the country. These days it's not very common in the UK. They often ask for an email address, but my experience is that most of the time they don't check it for validity.
I think it is naive to attribute this victory to accelerationists. Trump has a very clear mandate and this seems to be what the American people want now.
I run some software on a raspberry pi at home. This pattern works very well for me:
- services exposed via caddy(configured to use my domain on cloudflare for SSL)
- my lan dns resolver(adgaurd home) is configured to rewrite these domains to local IP. Specifically, the rewrite rule looks like `homeassistant.mydomain.com -> rpi.lan`
- Cloudflare tunnel on the rpi for services I want to access outside. I've it configured to require Google auth via cloudflare zero trust(free)
The neat part of this setup is that when I access a service when I'm at home, it works as expected completely locally including https.
If I try to access the service through the public internet, it will still work on the exact same domain and also have proper auth through cloudflare. This way I can access anything on the internet from my home server without worrying about security.
Cloudflare tunnel also offers some other cool things like ssh on your browser(which again uses the previously mentioned Google auth) if you need it.
Your software seems to be in the same vein as hexyl. I can't personally vouch for how well it handles large files cause it's been a while, but I suspect it'll do alright.
I switched to archlinuxarm on my rpi4 cause I got sick of having to jump through hoops to do mundane things like needing a ppa to install ripgrep or downloading debs for less popular packages.
Apart from a little confusion about how to configure the bootloader(since rpi uses uboot as opposed to the usual suspects), my experience has been amazing. In typical arch fashion, I've had zero issues apart from on install day.
>I switched to archlinuxarm on my rpi4 cause I got sick of having to jump through hoops to do mundane things like needing a ppa to install ripgrep or downloading debs for less popular packages.
Been running it on the rpis for years for similar reasons. Besides having most stuff packaged, it follows Arch principles and thus doesn't make unnecessary/unreasonable changes to software, my main complaint with most software targeting raspberry pi.
Did you run into a boot loop because of some SDMMC controller problem? If yes: this is caused by hardware changes in newer rpi4 and old rootfs images from ALARM which don't support this yet but it's fixed if you update it. To do that, you have to play around with chroot + qemu-user to run a standard "pacman -Syu" on the rpi rootfs before the first boot on the real rpi4. Afterwards it should boot properly on the rpi4.
That being said, if you want to use e.g. the official RPi 7" touch display via DSI, you should also switch from the default upstream kernel to the rpi kernel unless you like to mess around with DTB and debug strange problems.
I'm grew up in India and went to grad school in the US and worked there. Eventually, I transferred to the UK cause I didn't get through the US work visa lottery.
I'm much happier here because of the reasons you mentioned. I feel like my friends in America have are basically amassing wealth to insulate their liberal bubble in a conservative land. However, they might not be able to outweath the recent success of right wing policies that the American supreme Court has managed to impose.
For me personally, even the "low" tech salaries in Europe (think something like 150k an year total) is more than enough for the lifestyle I desire. If amassing wealth isn't your primary motivator, it absolutely makes sense to move to a society which better aligns with your values. That would probably be the EU for someone like you and me, but UK is EU lite.
I love that everybody here has the same access to healthcare and the fact that my high taxes help that. I like that the population responds to the actions of the elected officials - like how the current UK govt is doing absolutely terribly in current polls. In the US, it seems like it's always a tight race regardless of what the government does. I love being able to use public Transit to get to most places. I'd rather my potential kids grow up in a kinder society, where their wellbeing wouldn't be at risk if something were to happen to me or my job.
Oh, and also, if I choose to permanently live in the UK, or EU, the path to citizenship is deterministic with a known timeline.
In the US, the time from Green card to citizenship is unbounded. people from India and China are pretty much never going to become citizens till they exploit some loophole like having an American baby.
Apologies, you are correct. I haven't considered emigrating to the US for years and forgot the specific details. Most of my recent knowledge just comes from my friends who live there.
Iirc you can indefinitely keep getting renewals on your h1b while waiting on the green card queue - and this queue is many decades long for people from certain countries like India and China.
I don't feel like the UK is in an especially strong position to look down at the US for being too conservative or doing too little for its poorer citizens but I'm glad you've found a place that suits you regardless.
I agree that UK isn't as left wing as I'd like, but there is really a huge difference between what's considered right wing between the UK and the US. For instance, the NHS. Poor or unemployed people get the same access to healthcare as I do.
In my personal experience, there is also less stratification and less overt racism or bigotry. However, they're pioneering new and clever bigotry against trans people now and that concerns me.
> For instance, the NHS. Poor or unemployed people get the same access to healthcare as I do.
Sure, and the Conservative Party, who has enjoyed a very long period of uninterrupted rule, has been gradually sabotaging it with the obvious hope that is falls apart and market reforms can be implemented. Most of these differences have more to do with the legacy of the post-War period than anything about the current political situation.
The UK is also significantly whiter than the US is, which is something of a counterpoint to the idea that they're less bigoted, in my view.
See what you did there? You conclude that because UK is "whiter", it means they are not "less bigoted". That's weird and I hope you understand what your brain did there.
This is just standard phishing and you could even do it off your phone. I was hoping the hack used one of the other RF protocols which the device supports.
> And you want it for me too. I don’t even know you. No thanks, I’ll live my life how I see fit.
Oh, don't you worry. I totally agree with you. Freedom is perhaps the most important thing in the world. I don't want people making choices for myself or others. Complete freedom - of thoughts, of speech, of actions. (But consequences for those that abuse it - murder, etc.)
That said, I still really miss the world before all of this happened. Our world has never been the same since smartphones arrived.
We'll never be able to go back to the way things were before. That world is dead forever, and nobody -- not me, not you -- will ever be able to bring it back. Doesn't stop me from wishing it would all go away occasionally. At the same time, I'd never be willing to give up what we have now.
